Narrator, Iain Stirling (voice-over):

Welcome back to Love Island where four Islanders

are about to be chauffeured directly to the airport.

And when I say chauffeured,

I of course mean one of them rusty old airport mini buses.

And when I say directly, I of course mean...

directly to every hotel on the island to pick up every man and his dog.

Only joking... They don't allow animals.

Too much howling and crying.

Wait till they pick up our dumped Islanders!

In the Beach Hut (BH) Priya: "Even though it killed me, and it does a bit, I can't stop people from being happy. I don't want to be bitter and jealous and ruin someone else's happiness. Like, let it go, not harbour any resentment, and just, like, move on from it."

The kitchen felt quieter than usual, heavy with the kind of stillness that came before a goodbye. She's filling up her water bottle by the sink.

Priya's leaving the Villa. You hesitated at first, your throat tight as your eyes were already starting to well up. "Priya!" Your voice cracked.

Priya turned, surprised but smiling. "Oh, hey, Grace."

Without another word, you run over and flung your arms around her. You start to well up.

She gives you a warm hug, surrounding you with wafts of strawberry perfume. She starts to choke up a little, sniffing. "Oh, babe. I'm going to miss you so much." For the first time you can hear a waver in Priya's voice.

Grace pulled back slightly. "I'm so sorry."

"Don't worry about it, babe." Priya gently shook her head.

You murmured, "I'm really... I'm sad."

"Don't be sad. No. What's meant to be will."

BH Grace: "I'm gutted. I feel like she didn't get a chance in here to find the one, to be honest. I'm gonna... I'm gonna really miss her."

You wipe your face with the back of your hand. "I would like... them to do a recount. It's a fix!"

"Oh, honey, it's not," The beautiful estate agent let out a small, bittersweet laugh. "If I could, I would pack you up in my suitcase and take you home with me!"
