A Love Island star has revealed he had a secret romance with another contestant before he was dumped.
Josh Brocklebank was told to leave the villa on Tuesday night after he and Amber Wise received the least votes for viewers' favourite couple.
He didn't manage to find love while on the show but it seems he gave it a good go.
Setting his eyes on Jess Harding from the start, he seemed to try and graft her but unfortunately she was already closed off with Sammy Root.
But Josh has said he also tried to get to know another islander but had no luck.

Josh said he got on with Ella B (ITV/REX/Shutterstock)He said that he wishes he had tried harder with fellow bombshell Ella Barnes, but she already had her sights set on Michell Taylor.
Once he left the show, Josh said: "When me and Ella B met we got on really well. Her type is Essex boys - tall and tanned.
"When we first met on the first day, we were getting on like a house on fire. We’ll see what happens with the Mitch situation I guess."
He added: "Jess was the person I was originally attracted to when I went in. She’s got a lot of good qualities - she’s a bubbly character.
"We’re both quite loud and energetic which compliments each other because I think I’m the same.
"I think her head was always with Sammy. You can see how well they get on and how genuine their feelings are so I’m happy for them."
Josh left the show alongside Amber who he was coupled up with. However, the pair agreed they were in a friendship couple and there seemed to be no sign of romance between the two of them.
Amber told ITV: "I’m obviously gutted to have left but happy to have had the experience and grateful that I was able to meet such amazing people."
In a double dumping, Kady McDermott and Ouzy See were also left packing their bags. They said they would be continuing to get to known each other when they touch down back in the UK.
