TWO Love Island stars have been axed from the villa just days before Casa Amor kicks off.
In a brutal dumping, the islanders were left shocked as two favourite were sent packing after days of tension and rows.
The pair are already on their way home and the scenes, which are set to air tonight, will leave viewers reeling.
An insider said: "It was really savage and nobody was happy at all. There were tears and some of the cast were furious. It'll be a real shock to fans."
Last night’s dramatic episode ended with the public vote being opened once again – with fans being told to vote for their favourite.

But Joey Essex was immune from the dumping after being picked by new girl Jessy and Jess was also safe after Trey picked her.
The news didn’t go down well with those watching at home who were unhappy with both Joey and Jess after last night’s episode.
Joey sparked uproar when he told Jessy he wasn’t closed off, despite acting very differently with Grace.
Trying to justify his actions, he told Grace: “In my head, if we can get through this, this what’s happened, it’ll only make us stronger. That’s how I see it.”
Grace replied: “It’s difficult for me to sit here and be like, ‘You do what you need to do, if you feel like you need to explore something with someone else, I’ll just sit here and wait.’ I’m not going to do that Joey.
“But I don’t get it, are you still wanting to get to know her. If you are, then I don’t want to be involved…”
Joey told her: “I still need to… I can’t not get to know this girl.. I just feel like if I didn’t I would be silly.”
He then acted shocked when Jessy picked him in the surprise steal – leaving Grace furious.
Meanwhile, Jess upset fans when she laughed at Harriett crying after a game of Never Have I Ever went very wrong - and refused to comfort her.

Trying to justify her actions, Jess said that Harriett "can give it but she can't take it".
In upsetting scenes, Harriett continued to cry and was comforted by Ronnie - while Jess simply sneered at the situation.
And in just a few days time, the villa is set to be torn apart with the return of Casa Amor.
