There's set to be even more drama heading for Love Island as four Islanders including 'fan favourites' are set to be dumped from the villa ahead of the final in less than two weeks time.The final of the show is looming, as it has been announced on Love Island's official Instagram by show host Maya Jama that the winners will be crowned on 13 March.

But that means that the number of Islanders needs to be whittled down, which in turn means that some of the Islanders will be packing their bags and heading home.The Sun reports that the mass dumping has already taken place, with Love Island fans likely to see the four Islanders that have been axed on Thursday night's show, which includes 'two fan favourites'.

A source told the publication: "It was the most emotional, dramatic episode of the series so far as four people were sent packing – two of which have particularly strong fanbases. "There were lots of tears and filming went on into the very early hours of the morning – around 6am – so everyone was exhausted by the end. "There isn't that much longer to go until the final, so seeing four of their friends go home at once really brought it home to the remaining Islanders that any of them could be packing their bags at any time." Another source told how host Maya Jama is set to enter the villa and deliver the shocking news that four of the Islanders are set to be dumped.They described the dumping as "brutal" and a clear reminder that no one in the villa is safe, as it's set to be one of the most dramatic scenes of the entire series, including Casa Amor and Movie Night.

Announcing the final of the show, Love Island's official Instagram released a video of Maya, 28, who revealed that the big finale will take place on 13 March..
