Love Island’s Ellie Chadwick has quit the villa after her fellow islanders chose to dump Finley Maddock.

It was revealed on Wednesday that the Scottish villa favourite had reportedly left the ITV dating show just days before the final.

And during Thursday night’s episode her final moments were aired as her fellow islanders chose to send home her partner Finley. 

After the public vote, it was Elicia, Martha and Mica who were revealed as the three least favourite girls. And Finley, Jordan and Samraj who were the least favourite boys. 

In a dramatic episode, Elicia and Jordan were revealed as the least popular and were automatically dumped from the villa. 

It was then the difficult job of the remaining islanders to vote to decide which two islanders to send home out of the remaining four. 

Announcing her decision to leave, Finley asked her: ‘Are you sure? I feel like I’ve put you in this situation. I feel I’ve just ruined your experience’

And after tense back and forth, the group decided to send home Martha and Finley.

Despite a turbulent past week in her relationship with Finley, Ellie began to cry as she told the islanders: ‘I know that he is my person.’ 

But as the vote was revealed the tears streamed down her face as she said: ‘I’m going guys I am going I can’t do it.’ 

Announcing her decision to leave, Finley asked her: ‘Are you sure? I feel like I’ve put you in this situation. I feel I’ve just ruined your experience.’ 

Ellie replied: ‘Who’s going to come walk through the doors and I’m going to have a connection like I did with you in two weeks? No one. I fought our corner, and it was a vote. There’s not much else I can do from that.’

The pair then had a tearful goodbye with their fellow islanders before packing their suitcases and heading on their way.

While Ellie and Finley survived the test of Casa Amor and their relationship appeared to be going from strength to strength, last week they faced a major bump in the road when Finley had his head turned by bombshell Elicia Bailey.

Ellie threatened to leave the villa several times during the heartache as Elicia recoupled with her man before they went on a flirty date which saw them share a kiss.  

Yet Tuesday night’s episode saw the pair’s on/off romance back on track after Finley cut off his flirtation with Elicia and Ellie chose him in the recoupling.

Ellie is the third person to leave the show this year not via a dumping.

Days into the series George Knight left the villa for ‘personal reasons’. George has insisted he quit the villa after learning that a member of his family had a health concern, but sources have since shared the real reason behind his departure.

It’s claimed that while George’s story about his family is true, he has used it to hide the fact that he was axed after receiving a formal warning for using ‘unacceptable language’ in the villa.

George then learned of his family news at the same time, but there is no suggestion that ITV bosses attempted to cover up his behaviour.

Casa Amor bombshell Gabriel Garland was axed from the show after just a day when revelations about his past came to light, after it was not picked up in official background checks.

Andy Burnham will inherit a ‘fragile’ economy gripped by stagflation fears, experts warned on Thursday after the latest dismal growth figures.

Days before Mr Burnham enters Downing Street, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said gross domestic product (GDP) grew by just 0.1 per cent in May, after shrinking by 0.1 per cent in April.

It came as the International Monetary Fund (IMF) delivered a stark warning to the incoming Prime Minister not to put up public spending and instead get the public finances under control.

Official figures suggest the economy enjoyed a strong start to the year but has stuttered after Donald Trump’s Iran war disrupted supply chains and pushed up costs.

Some businesses also point to the ongoing impact of Labour’s tax hikes, minimum wage increases and workers’ rights policies in holding back growth.

And experts point to the risk that Britain suffers a bout of ‘stagflation’ – the toxic combination of stagnating growth and rising inflation.

It comes in stark contrast to Chancellor Rachel Reeves’s claim in a speech to the City this week to have ‘beaten the odds’ to deliver a ‘strong’ economy.

Thursday’s GDP figures showed that while the huge services sector – ranging from bars and hotels to accountancy and law firms – grew by 0.3 per cent in May, other parts of the economy struggled. Manufacturing grew by just 0.1 per cent and the construction sector shrank by 0.8 per cent.

Stuart Morrison, research manager at the British Chambers of Commerce said: ‘The latest ONS data shows a fragile economy weighed down by geopolitical tensions and domestic cost pressures.’

And Suren Thiru, chief economist at the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, said: ‘This dishearteningly weak rebound is unlikely to ease anxiety over the UK’s economic health.’

Mr Thiru said the ‘underwhelming’ figure highlighted that the UK remained vulnerable given the resumption of hostilities in the Middle East, pushing oil prices higher again.

Such an outcome ‘would further damage an already frail economy, strengthening stagflation risks’. he added – eroding the new PM’s ‘headroom’ for changing tax or spending plans.

‘The imminent change in Prime Minister risks casting a shadow over the UK economy, with heightened uncertainty over future tax policy likely to make consumers and businesses more reluctant to spend and invest,’ Mr Thiru said.

It came as the IMF’s latest report on the UK also stressed that the parlous state of the public finances could tie the new PM’s hands.

The IMF said that, amid ballooning debt and pressure from bond investors, Mr Burnham’s priority must be to stick to plans to bring down borrowing.

And in advice unlikely to find favour with Left-wing Labour MPs, it said the government must be ‘very selective’ when responding to new demands for spending.

The IMF acknowledged the pressures posed by the UK’s ageing population and rising defence spending commitments but warned against raising taxes even further to meet them.

‘With the tax-to-GDP ratio already set to reach historic levels by UK standards, meeting these pressures through tax measures alone would risk amplifying distortions and undermining growth prospects,’ it said.

The advice from the IMF came a day after Mr Burnham refused to rule out imposing a wealth tax when he comes to power, saying he ‘might be having to ask for a little more’.

England captain Harry Kane has taken to social media to share his disappointment at his team’s World Cup exit at the hands of Argentina, admitting the 2-1 defeat in Atlanta was ‘hard to take’. 

Bayern Munich striker Kane led England with distinction, scoring six goals at the tournament, but could do little to avert the late defeat against Lionel Messi‘s team on Wednesday.   

‘No words are big enough right now to overcome this empty feeling in the stomach,’ he says. ‘We were close, really close to another final but it wasn’t enough. 

‘We’ve given everything over these last 7 weeks and to fall short is hard to take! I know the expectations are high and rightly so, we’ve been knocking on the door for 8 years now but again are missing that final piece of the jigsaw! 

‘That’s where we have to go away, process it and find a way to get better. I’m so proud of the boys and what we have shown throughout this tournament – some tough games and tough environments that we have overcome. 

‘Some memories that will stay with us players and I’m sure you fans for a long long time! Going for glory doesn’t always mean you will get it. You have to fight for it, get knocked down, pick yourself up and go again and that’s what we will do, there’s no other way but to keep believing and keeping pushing. 

‘Thank you to every single fan that travelled and showed their support in the stadiums. Thank you to every fan back home for believing in us. Thank you to the boys and staff for everything you have given. As always Win or lose, we learn and go again!’ 

Kane was seen in am embrace with Messi at the finish, a rare example of sportsmanship by the poorly-behaved South Americans who did little to enhance their reputation on an ill-tempered night. 

‘I’m gutted,’ Kane said in his post-match interview. ‘I’m gutted for the boys, I’m gutted for everyone, the team, the staff, the fans. We played a good game for the large majority of it. 

‘Once we went 1-0 up we seemed to just try and hold on which at this level is just not enough, so I’m gutted.

‘We worked so hard to be here. The lads have given every last bit of running, sweat, blood, tears, whatever it is, so to fall short like today is just gutting.’
