Oh Liberty Poole, one of the sweetest Islanders we’ve ever come across. Her Love Islandjourney hasn’t been the easiest, as her relationship with Jake Cornish – who she's been with since day one - has disintegrated in front of our eyes over the past two weeks, but she’s kept her head held high. She’s incredibly emotionally intelligent, has learnt so much about herself in the past seven weeks and loves so hard – whether that be Jake or her bestie Kaz Kamwi.

A worthy winner of Love Island, right?

A teaser for tonight’s episode of the show sees Liberty, who is only 21 years old, reach her breaking point as she storms off, takes her microphone off and breaks down in tears. It was hard to watch and it was only ten seconds.

In the clip, we saw Liberty joined by Jake as she breaks down in tears, telling him, “I just don’t think we’re right for each other.”

The reason as to why Liberty is so upset will become clear very soon, but some fans are speculating that her tears are a result of the famous tweet or headline challenge, where random tweets from fans or headlines in the media throughout any time of the show are read out to the Islanders and they have to guess who they are about.

WATCH: Hugo, Lillie and Lucinda reveal the secret conversation CUT from the show | Love Island Secrets

However, with just four days until the final of Love Island, there is also speculation that the tweet challenge has been axed from this year’s series and was replaced by the Movie Night challenge.

If we’re being brutally honest, we think Liberty has had enough intervention about her relationship with Jake (even her friends have told her their doubts) and if she comes to the realisation that they’re not right for each other on her own without being shown opinions from the outside – it just shows how headstrong she is.

With or without her boyfriend, we think Liberty, who worked in Nandos as a waitress before signing up for the show, is the perfect candidate to follow in Amber Gill’s footsteps and be crowned a winner. Amber famously won the show with Greg O’Shea in 2018 after her rocky relationship with Michael Griffiths saw her triumph, they left together, but split soon after, and Amber's win had nothing to do with their relationship with Greg. It was all to do with her.

Love Island: why we all should give Jake Cornish a break

Why is Love Island cutting sexuality and race conversations?

This year, many Love Island fans have become more invested in single Islanders, there’s been so many tweets about how they want the girls to win the show and not share the 50K prize pot with their partners.

“Liberty is just the sweetest person ever i wish she could win alone #LoveIsland ,” tweeted one viewer, whilst another said, “Not Liberty in tears. I will fly to Majorca I swear to god #LoveIsland.”

Another added, “When it said ‘tomorrow night’ and showed this.. my heart sank. Omg can we please change the rules so Liberty can win on her own??! #LoveIsland.”

It’s safe to say, we think Lib will be absolutely okay on her own – she’s our 2021 Love Island queen – even if she doesn’t win and ends up single.
