Love Island 2024 has officially announced its finalists after the shocking elimination of Joey Essex and Jessy Potts.The TOWIE star and brand partnerships associate were sent packing from the villa just a day before the grand finale. In an unexpected twist, this year's eliminated Love Island contestants made a comeback, including Joey's former flames Grace Jackson and Samantha Kenny.They were given the task to select who they thought was the least compatible couple, which led to Joey and Jessy's exit.

With the Love Island final just one day away, Joey Essex and Jessy Potts have become the latest couple to be dumped from the ITV2 villa. Having come so close to the final, the couple were dumped from the villa after their former Islanders made a return to the show where they voted for the least compatible couple in a dramatic twist. As all Islanders placed their vote one by one, it was Joey and Jessy who secured the most votes and were therefore named the least compatible duo.

The Love Island final is just around the corner and the finalists have started to be sent out on their last dates. Each year, ITV bosses pull out all of the stops for the Islanders' final liaisons, from incredible boat trips to private concerts.

In a cheeky moment during his show, James Martin got called out by none other than 90s pop sensation Shaznay Lewis from All Saints. Shaznay dug into her love for all things culinary while James whipped up a mouth-watering blackened chicken with miso that definitely made our foodie senses tingle.

Joey Essex has seen many familiar faces walk into the Love Island villa, from Grace Jackson, to Emma Milton in Casa Amor, as well as late bombshell Lola.

Islanders Mimii and Joey haven't been on the best of terms for the last week and in last night's episode of Love Island, tensions hit an all-time high as the pair came face to face. Joey approached Mimii while she was sat with Nicole and Jessy and said: "Mimii, do you like me?" She coldly responded: "You are not my fav person right now," to which Joey replied: "You know I want the best for you, innit?" She fired back: "Act like it then.

Demi Sims and Eve Gale shocked fans earlier this year when they announced their romance just weeks after the latter's stint on Love Island: All Stars, with the pair sharing that they had been enjoying dates with one another. And while things appeared to be going strong for two beauties when OK! last caught up with them, Demi has now confirmed that she is still single. As we caught up with the former TOWIE star at Garnier's Pride Celebration this week, we mentioned her trip to Ibiza in May with Eve - where they detailed their blossoming romance to OK! - and wondered if she has an update.

Sometimes behind-the-scenes gossip is just as juicy as the drama on screen - and for one incident involving Joey Essex on Love Island that could certainly be the case.
