Love Island's Whitney could be first to 'QUIT' villa after Mehdi dumping
She's said to be 'sobbing uncontrollably'
As if the return of series two Islander Kady McDermott and the brutal dumping of Molly Marsh wasn't enough drama for one week, Love Island bosses once again turned up the heat on Tuesday 28th June, when two more Islanders were sent packing from the villa.
Following a public vote, both Mal Nicol and Mehdi Edno were dumped from the villa, which has reportedly left Whitney Adebayo 'sobbing uncontrollably', with fears she could be the first Islander from series 10 to quit the show.
Speaking to co-star Catherine Agabaje after Mehdi's exit, Whitney said: "Mehdi leaving tonight has definitely thrown a spanner in my works.
"We just decided to start afresh, and it was just bad timing. I never thought it would have been Mehdi."
A TV insider told Mail Online: "Whitney is so emotional after Mehdi's departure... she sobs uncontrollably and struggles with the shock of having to say goodbye.
"She has the full support of her co-stars, especially the girls, but her future on the show is uncertain.
"Everyone is hoping she finds the strength to carry on, and even Mehdi told her not to give up."
Despite Mehdi revealing to Whitney last week that he wanted to get to know fellow Islander Leah Taylor, the 25-year-old she still chose to stay coupled up with the French native, admitting she was keen to see where things would go between them.
Following his departure, Mehdi said: "It’s always a sad feeling when you have to leave somewhere, but that was such a great experience, I’m so thankful for it. I’ve met incredible people, and made friends for life. I feel like I could’ve found love with Whitney, so it’s to be continued on that one"
Speaking about his connection with Whitney, the 26-year-old communications manager added: "I’d say it was great. We had ups and downs but if we focus on the ups they were so good. Obviously it’s hard for me to leave now as we had something good going on but I’m hopeful we can make things work, for now she needs to live her experience to the fullest."
