Winter Love Islandhas barely returned but the producers have not held back when it comes to bringing the drama. And, as Anna-May Robey becomes the first female contestant to be dumped from the villa, fans have THOUGHTS.

The Welsh islander was picked by Aussie imports Jessie Wynter and Aaron Waters to be kicked out of Love Island alongside boxer Haris Namani and although it was clearly a tough decision for her fellow islanders Anna-May has mainly nice things to say about her time in the villa.

"I had such an incredible time, I’ve made really good memories and friends that will last a lifetime," she said.

"I’d definitely recommend it... It’s such a good experience."

As much as she enjoyed her short-lived stay in South Africa, Anna-May was, however, frank about her tricky times.

"When you don’t find a connection with anyone it’s a bit difficult, everybody’s friends in there but I was looking for love and I’m the sort of person who can’t force it if I don’t feel it."

We feel you, Anna-May and it seems that the viewers did too as when she was dumped from the villa the fans were NOT happy bunnies and declared the voting rigged.

One person commented, "This is 100% rigged!!" with another declaring, "I think it's rigged ngl"

One Anna-May stan even (rather dramatically) announced, "I'm actually crying for Anna-May😭😭"

Pull yourself together everyone, we have a few more weeks left of the season and about seventy more bombshells to meet.

We may have said farewell to Paige Thorne 2.0 but let's take a look at what we know about Anna-May and her search for true love.

Anna-May Robey's worst date story....

According to Anna-May (and respect to her for admitting to this), despite her energetic personality, she once went out with a guy who fell asleep DURING THE DATE.

She revealed, "I went on a date once and I never saw him again. We went for food and shared a bottle of wine. As I was speaking to him he fell asleep! I had to clink his wine glass to wake him up."

NOT. THIS.
