Winter Love Island 2023 has been serving up plenty of drama, with a brutal double dumping, feuds, explosive bombshells and shock twists.

Not to mention that savage takedown. Or Ron Hall’s swivelling head. Let alone the secret kiss.

We’ve had dramatic re-couplings, and couples getting close whether they’re paired up or not, leading to a very risque confession. Plus a lot of arguing. Peak Love Island, really.

But it’s not all trouble in paradise – we’ve had the L word, too!

So who’s left the villa so far, when were they dumped, and why?

Here’s what you need to know.

Who has left Winter Love Island 2023?

David Salako – Day five

Bombshell David Salako entered the villa on Day 3 with Zara Lackenby-Brown.

The 24-year-old money advisor from Essex promised to bring ‘good vibes and energy’ to the show.

David was super-keen on 22-year-old biomedical science student Tanya Manhenga and the pair went on a date, with Tanya saying she felt her head might be turned away from partner Shaq Muhammad.

But when Haris Namani asked David what it was like kissing Tanya – in front of Shaq – a heated scuffle broke out between Haris and Shaq.

Day five saw the first re-coupling, and David was hopeful that Tanya would pick him. But she stuck with Shaq.

So it all came down to Lana Jenkins, who was left with the choice of David or farmer Will Young.

In a shock decision, Lana picked Will – effectively dumping David from the villa – which left them both in tears.

Speaking after his exit, David said: ‘It was a 50/50 split between Shaq and I. Me and Tanya did have a good bond, and found it easy to have a conversation with each other. But perhaps that’s all it was between us, just good conversation.’

After leaving the villa, David also spilled to confirm the theory that feuding Olivia Hawkins and Zara know each other from outside.

On TikTok, he said: ‘This is something that was discussed in the villa, they told everyone. I think Zara told everyone that she knew Liv, and Liv confirmed.

‘The beef between them is 100% real.’

Anna-May Robey – Day 10

Anna-May Robey, an original Winter Love Island 2023 contestant, got dumped from the villa on day ten.

Although she tried to couple up with hot teacher Kai Fagan, Olivia Hawkins stole him and she ended up with boxer Haris Namani.

But Anna-May and Haris failed to bond, and in the first recoupling, she nabbed Kai again – who didn’t look best pleased at having to couple up with her.

Then the 20-year-old payroll administrator from Swansea was one of three girls and three boys who received the fewest public votes, so faced eviction.

But in a shock twist which divided fans, bombshells Jessie Wynter and Aaron Waters – who had only entered three days earlier – were told they had to choose one of the three girls to leave.

They chose to evict Anna-May, saving Tanya Manhenga and Tanyel Revan.

Speaking after she left the villa, Anna-May said: ‘When you don’t find a connection with anyone it’s a bit difficult. I was friends with all the boys but I’m the sort of person who can’t force it if I don’t feel it.’

But with Love island 2022 star Jacques O’Neill keen for a date with her, love could be on the horizon after all.

Anna-May said that in the villa, she enjoyed spending time with Will the most: ‘I couldn’t have a conversation with him without laughing’, and predicted that Lana and Ron could stay together outside the villa.

Haris Namani – Day 10

Haris Namani entered the villa right at the start, but exited in a double-dumping on day ten.

The boxer ruffled feathers early on, almost coming to blows with Shaq over comments he made about David kissing Shaq’s partner, Zara – forcing other islanders to physically separate them.

He didn’t bond with Anna-May when they were first coupled up, and seemed much happier when Olivia Hawkins chose to recouple with him.

But away from the villa, Haris was making headlines after a video emerged of him brawling in the street.

Haris was one of three boys with the fewest public votes, so Auusie bombshells Jessie and Aaron chose to evict him over Kai and Tom Clare.

Speaking after he left the villa, Haris said: ‘I’m devastated that this video has been seen. It’s not a reflection of my character.

‘This was a heat of the moment thing and the video doesn’t show everything that happened. We’ve shaken hands and we get along now.’

On his row with Shaq, Haris added: ‘I said sorry for my part, he said the same, and that’s it. We were the first two in and we got along after that as normal.’

He said he bonded most with farmer Will, who is ‘very, very funny and one in a million’ and described his time in the villa as ‘exciting, nerve wracking – a little bit – memorable and unforgettable’.

Zara Lackenby-Brown – Day 17

Zara Lackenby-Brown entered as a bombshell in episode three – and fans were quick to spot an existing pre-villa feud between her and Olivia Hawkins.

‘Do you think I’ve flown 11 hours from England to piss you off?’ Zara told her. ‘Get over yourself Liv.’

Zara set her sights on footballer Tom Clare and went to war with Olivia over him.

But ‘player’ Tom was secretly cracking on with new bombshell Ellie Spence, sharing a secret kiss with her on the terrace.

Zara and Tanya told Olivia about the kiss, who called him out on it – but it was Zara’s savage takedown of Tom – calling him ‘community penis’ – that left fans howling and Tom fuming.

The simmering feud between Zara and Olivia calmed down as they united in their loathing of him.

But when it came to the third recoupling, soon after the row, Tom was last to choose. He had the choice of his current partner, Zara, or Ellie – and he picked the latter.

No surprises there, really. So Zara was brutally dumped from the villa.

Speaking after her exit, Zara said: ‘Me and Tom calling it a day was the best thing we could have done, because we weren’t ever on the same page. The fact we weren’t each other’s types intrigued us to try and make a go of it.’

Her favourite moments in the villa were with farmer Will. ‘He’s a cherub. He’s got the best energy. The world needs more Wills.’

Winter Love Island 2023 continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2, with all episodes aired so far available on ITVX.
