When did Joe Garratt leave Love Island 2019?

Happy chappy Joe was the second boy to be dumped from the villa on Tuesday 18th June, after a shock double dumping meant he was made to pack his bags and sent back to rainy England.

Having initially coupled up with Lucie, their relationship went from strength to strength, with their pair even giving their relationship an 'exclusive' label. But, their fellow islanders didn't fall for it, as they voted for them as one of the least compatible couples in the villa. A shock twist meant the public had to decide to keep either Lucie or Joe, with the public choosing surfer Lucie. Joe's exit came amidst controversy, following many viewers criticising him for his 'controlling' behaviour whilst Womens Aid released a statement calling Joe 'possessive'. Joe said he is going to wait for Lucie on the outside.

Who is Love Island's Joe Garratt?

Joe's a catering company owner who thinks his 'fun' outlook on life makes him the 'perfect Islander.'

Chatting about his best and worst personality traits, Joe says: "I’m fun, I’m a bit of a romantic as well and I don’t take life too seriously. I’m chilled out and I’m quite laid-back. It could be a positive or a negative that I don’t take things too seriously all the time but in a relationship that’s quite hard... Some girls don’t like that!

"Sometimes I joke around too much. I’m also quite indecisive and I’ll question things. I’m always late as well, I can be super late!"

How old is Joe Garratt?

Joe's 22 years old.

Where is Joe Garratt from?

South East London, mate.

What's Joe Garratt's type on paper?

He's not fussy, apparently.

Joe says, "I don’t really have a specific type. For me, it’s just more how we click, if she is fun, outgoing and doesn’t take herself too seriously and is open to talk about things. I’m looking for a connection, obviously initial attraction is key but the connection is the main go-to."

Who is Joe Garratt's celebrity crush?

He explains, "I really fancy Jorja Smith, I really fancy Lily Collins and then I really fancy Amber Heard."

Has Joe Garratt ever cheated?

Nope!

He reckons, "When I’m committed to somebody, I’ve only got eyes for them. I’ve never cheated and I’ve never been cheated on. I’m not that type of guy. If I’ve got eyes for somebody then I commit to them."

What will Joe Garratt be like in the Love Island villa?

We're predicting a Chris Hughes and Kem Cetinay-esque bromance between Joe and a fellow male islander.

He says, "I’m a guy’s guy, I’ve got loads of guy mates and I haven’t snaked any of my mates out. At the same time if I felt a connection with somebody that was so strong and I was to not go for it, just because a guy was talking to her or seeing her, especially in the villa, I wouldn’t be being true to myself."
