Stevenage's Blade Siddiqi has seen his time in the Love Island villa come to an end, after he was dumped in a public vote.
The 29-year-old butler in the buff was one of three boys at risk of going home on last night's episode, and the public decided that his time was up.
"Overall, it was such a pleasure and a privilege to be a part of," he said after his departure.
"For me, it’s an experience of a lifetime and something I’ll always look back on fondly."

Blade was one of 12 new bombshells who arrived as part of the Casa Amor split a little over 10 days ago, and he coupled up with Grace Jackson to enter the main villa.
He quickly caused a stir, as comments about Joey Essex not being "the sharpest tool in the box" angered the former Only Way is Essex star.
"You might beat me in an English exam but you ain't never beating me in anything else, mate," Joey said after a row between the pair.
