Martha Rothwell from York has left Love Island villa

25-year-old Martha Rothwell, who is from York but now lives in London, is one of the latest contestants to be dumped from this season of Love Island after surviving on the show for 15 days.

Love Island features single contestants, or ‘Islanders’, who are looking for love and stay in a secluded, luxury villa with cameras watching their every move, and must consistently pair up to avoid being eliminated, with the public ultimately voting for their favourite couple to win a cash prize.

Martha arrived at Casa Amor on Day 23 as one of 12 new ‘bombshells’ whose arrival was designed to turn heads among the existing contestants.

After three days, she was chosen to ‘couple up’ with original boy Aidan before entering the main villa where she entered a new couple with Jordon four days later on Day 30 – before going on a date with new boy Ethan on Day 32.

The next day, Martha and Jordan were in the bottom three following a public vote for favourite couple and were saved by their fellow contestants Julia and Lorenzo – recoupling again on Day 36, before Martha was voted out on Day 38.

Speaking to the Daily Sport, Martha said that the experience was ‘the weirdest rollercoaster experience ever’ and that she had no regrets’.

She added: “It’s just a crazy, surreal experience and I loved every second.”

In media interviews before the show, she shared a few snippets about herself including her love of football and that fact that she plays for a five-a-side team but admits she is ‘not very good’ at it.

She also came out as bisexual on-screen, saying her most recent relationship was a nine-month relationship with a woman.

She is the latest person from York and North Yorkshire to make it onto the popular show.

Javi Shephard, now in his mid-30s, was a surveyor from York when he appeared in series two as part of the initial line-up. He remained single and was evicted from the island when he didn’t couple up with anyone.

Georgia Steel joined the villa for series four as a 20-year-old a performing arts student and barmaid from York who later returned for Love Island: All Stars.
