The three couples at risk were Harrison and Lauren, Emma and Conor and Tommy and Lucy.
After weighing up their options, Shakira and Ty decided to ultimately dump Tommy and Lucy, saying they "weren't buying" their romance.
During his exit interview, Tommy addressed Shakira and Ty's decision for picking them, describing it as "frustrating".
He said: "Shakira and Conor have a thing going on so she obviously wanted to keep him.
"Shakira's also close with Toni and knows she still really likes Harrison.
That's all the decision came down to.
"So to leave in that way, getting voted out by another Islander who I'm not that close with, was frustrating.
"At the end of the day it's all part and parcel of the game.
"Lucy was only there for nine days, so I feel like she deserved to experience it more.
"I'd like to have had more of a journey with her in the Villa.

Lucy also had her say on the unexpected exit and revealed if she and Tommy will continue their romance on the outside.
Lucy said: "It was a bit of a shock getting dumped. But I do believe that everything happens for a reason, so obviously it was our time to go.
"Even if I was there for a day or the whole time to even get the opportunity to go into the Villa an d experience it all was just amazing.
"We love food, so we'll go for some nice food and drinks. He likes a bottle of red wine, I like a bottle of rose, so we're going to get a few bottles and a steak!
"I can't wait for that, it will be great to have some alone time.
"I'm gonna come to London to see him."

Watch the moment The Hit List star wins £10k jackpot for first time in show history with tricky music question
A CONTESTANT on The Hit List made show history by winning the £10,000 jackpot for the first time. Hosted by Marvin and Rochelle Humes, the BBC music-based quiz launched in 2019. 3 3 3 Since then, more than 250 contestant duos have hoped to win the show's top prize -only to fall short. Father and son duo Paul and Tom, from Liverpool, walked away with the full £10,000 - achieving what had seemed impossible. The high-pressure Final Chart Rundown sees contestants try and name 10 songs and artists. After five seconds of each song has played, the money in the prize pot starts to drop. This means that players make less money the longer time they take. However, dream Paul and Tom answered every one correctly in less than five seconds, therefore keeping every penny. Events and marketing coordinator Tom, 26, and catering business owner Paul 61, share a love of music. They credited their success to complementary music taste -Paul's love of 60s,70s,80s and Tom's knowledge of 90's and 00's. Meanwhile, the final song that secured them the money was the final song that won them the money was Queen, A Kind of Magic. Reacting to the incredible achievement, Tom said: "We've been watching The Hit List for years, this was our third time applying to be on the show, and it was third time lucky. HIT LIST WIN "We always knew that we'd go on together, as you need knowledge of music spanning all decades. "The two teams we were competing with were incredible, I couldn't believe when we go through to the final round, the adrenaline was immense and obviously over the moon with the result.' Paul said: "Tom inherited his love of music from me, we are big quizzers, and music is always our speciality subject. "To get through to the final round was a big achievement as it was competitive game play throughout. Hardest Quiz Show Questions Would you know the answers to some of quizzing TV's hardest questions Who Wants To Be A Millionaire - Earlier this year, fans were left outraged after what they described as the "worst" question in the show's history. Host Jeremy Clarkson asked: 'From the 2000 awards ceremony onwards, the Best Actress Oscar has never been won by a woman whose surname begins with which one of these letters?' The multiple choice answers were between G, K, M and W. In the end, and with the £32,000 safe, player Glen had to make a guess and went for G. It turned out to be correct as Nicole Kidman, Frances McDormand and Kate Winslet are among the stars who have won the Best Actress gong since 2000. The 1% Club - Viewers of Lee Mack's popular ITV show were left dumbfounded by a question that also left the players perplexed. The query went as follows: "Edna's birthday is on the 6th of April and Jen's birthday falls on the 15th of October, therefore Amir's birthday must be the 'X' of January." It turns out the conundrum links the numbers with its position in the sentence, so 6th is the sixth word and 15th is the fifteenth word. Therefore, Amir's birthday is January 24th, corresponding to the 24th word in the sentence. The Chase - The ITV daytime favourite left fans scratching their heads when it threw up one of the most bizarre questions to ever grace the programme. One of the questions asked the player: "Someone with a nightshade intolerance should avoid eating what?" The options were - sweetcorn, potatoes, carrots - with Steve selecting sweetcorn but the correct answer was potatoes. "I would have been happy with £1,000 and a day out with my son. "We weren't aware that no-one had won the jackpot before and as we got to song seven in the final round the tension in the studio was palpable. "I was very proud of Tom for getting the song names in about three seconds."

Michelin-starred chef 'shuts down restaurant' in 'the finest dining room in London' after just six months
A Michelin-starred chef has shut down his restaurant in the finest dining room in London after just six months. Victor Garvey at the Midland Grand, based out of the St Pancras London hotel near the famous train station of the same name, only opened in February. But it now appears to have served its last diners, after stopping taking bookings and staff telling The Caterer it closed its doors on July 15. The eponymous American chef had only just replaced Irish cook Patrick Powell's The Midland Grand Dining Room in the five-star hotel's 65-seater dining room. It came after he won his Michelin star, the highest culinary gong, in 2021, for his Californian restaurant SOLA in the capital's Soho area, which opened in 2019. It is as yet unclear why the restaurant appears to have closed without warning, with the website down and guests unable to make bookings. Mr Garvey, working out of what is widely considered one of London's most opulent dining spaces, charged an eye-watering £139 for a seven-course tasting menu. There was also an even more lavish 14-course tasting experience, alongside the normal a la carte menu, The Standard reports. Dishes included red tuna, with white peach, roasted leek and a green almond sorbet - as well as a lobster served out of its shell with its own roe, along with spiced carrot. The two businesses that have most recently occupied the restaurant space were called after the building's original name - The Midland Grand Hotel. The Grade I-listed Gothic revival building in central London is one of the most iconic sights in the capital - with a restaurant space equally as impressive. Upon taking over the historic dining room earlier this year, Mr Garvey said: 'A dining room of this stature deserves a menu that matches its grandeur.' Calling the space 'one of the best dining rooms in the world', he described the menu as 'honouring the foundations of classical French cuisine while embracing modernity'. When the restaurant launched, he told The Caterer: 'A chef only gets an opportunity like this, where they are offered a big dining room, once or twice in their life. 'It happened to Joël Robuchon, to Alain Ducasse, all the big guys, and I'm very excited.' He had explained the menu as a reinvention of traditional French dishes: 'We're making it sexier, we're making it lighter.' Mr Garvey described being approached by St Pancras London hotelier Harry Handlesman to take over the space. 'He wanted to have a Michelin star here and for it to be one of the best restaurants in the world and one of the best dining rooms in the world', he explained. 'I thought - I'm pretty sure I can do that.' The restaurant's adjoining Gothic Bar currently remains open. The apparent closure of Victor Garvey at the Midland Grand will be a shock to food lovers across the capital, after it received glowing reviews from the country's top critics. Giles Coren said: 'Victor is doing fancy French now, and quite brilliantly, of course.' The chef's predecessor Mr Powell was behind the room's relaunch in April 2023 but he left just over a year later, in July 2024. He said at the time: 'The time has come for me to move on and I am hugely excited for the future and my next chapter.' Mr Powell also left his restaurant Allegra, in London's Stratford area, at the same time, which he also worked on with St Pancras London hotelier Harry Handlesman. The Irish chef is currently working as culinary director at French and New York-inspired restaurant One Club Row in the capital's Shoreditch area. The building is more than 150 years old, with several hotels having been run out of it over the years. The Midland Grand Hotel was designed by English architect Sir Gilbert Scott - also behind the Albert Memorial in London's Kensington area - and built in 1873. But it shut down in 1935 and was nearly demolished in the sixties - before it was reopened as The Renaissance in 2011, after being used as railway offices. The restaurant was relaunched as The Gilbert Scott and run by British celebrity chef and MasterChef: The Professionals judge Marcus Wareing until the pandemic. The building is now known as the St Pancras London Autograph Collection hotel and managed by Marriott International. But the name change came only last month, when Marriott transferred the hotel from its Renaissance brand to its Autograph Collection. The dining space appears to have closed only just over a month after this rebrand. Renaissance hotels aim to give guests 'curious, unique and local experiences', according to the brand's website - while Autograph ones offer a distinctive interior. As part of the rebrand, the hotel's 254 rooms and suites have been undergoing extensive renovation since January. Marriott boss Sandra Schulze-Potgieter explained at the time: 'St Pancras London is exactly the kind of property Autograph Collection was created to celebrate - rich in character, rooted in place, and full of story. 'This new chapter brings that story to life in a way that feels both intentional and unforgettable.' Mr Garvey was born in New York to an American father and French-Spanish mother, moving to Barcelona aged six. He has worked in restaurants across Spain and in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Tokyo and Copenhagen before arriving in London.

We bought a family house in Bulgaria for £6,500, we couldn't believe what we found when we turned up, it was a nightmare
A BRITISH family-of-five has revealed how they decided to buy a house online for just £6,500 in Bulgaria. Documenting their journey in a campervan from the UK with three children, the family behind @ therollingrucks has garnered 621.6k views and 517 comments in just six days. They have shared the dramatic transformation of their new, incredibly cheap home. Having arrived in Bulgaria, the family admitted they had no idea what to expect from their incredibly cheap property. The initial reveal left them "really, really overwhelmed," with the mum confessing, "I thought oh my gosh we might have made a mistake." However, just two days in, things are looking up and now the family are feeling 'much better' about it, explaining that local residents have "got involved' with helping them which has helped. After "slogging for a couple of days," the land surrounding the house is "looking much clearer now." They've even got "stick piles, some log piles," and the locals helping out have been able to "help themselves to firewood as well." The video shows a tour of their new Bulgarian abode. The front steps "have seen better days," and upon entering, you're greeted by a small hallway leading into what she describes as a three-bedroom house. The first bedroom features "nice Bulgarian furniture left behind for us and a few broken windows." The second bedroom has "a bit of damage" and a "little candle window," while the third is currently "literally full of rubbish to get cleared away." I bought a house for £162k at auction but made a MAJOR mistake - I wasn't sure if I'd be able to come back from it The video also reveals an old, "completely knackered" open fireplace, a basement that's "a bit of a mess", and intriguing ventilation features like an open storage area and un-windowed top windows. Despite some roof tiles having been knocked off by felled trees, the mum is "really, really happy with the progress that's been made." Many people rushed to the comments section of her video to share their thoughts. Safer than you think it reminds us of the UK 80s where people look out for each other and are friendly @therollingrucks 'My husband and I are wanting to buy in Bulgaria, however we would only be able to be there during school holidays, the aim being that once our son finishes secondary school, we can move there full time. 'I've heard so many horror stories of people being robbed whilst not there and also squatters etc.' To which @therollingrucks replied: 'We have heard it's perfectly safe but depending on the area you choose, everywhere has good and bad places.' A second asked: 'How safe is it there.? I'd love to leave England. This place is finished.' And the @therollingrucks replied: 'Safer than you think it reminds us of the UK 80s where people look out for each other and are friendly.' Another said: 'So cute the little candle window to light both bedrooms.' Moving house hacks 1. Declutter Before You Pack Sort through your belongings and get rid of anything you no longer need. Donate, sell, or recycle items to lighten your load. 2. Create an Inventory Make a list of all your items. This helps keep track of everything and ensures nothing gets lost in the move. 3. Use Quality Packing Materials Invest in sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, and packing tape. This will protect your belongings during the move. 4. Label Everything Clearly label each box with its contents and the room it belongs to. This makes unpacking much easier and more organized. 5. Pack a 'First Day' Box Include essentials like toiletries, a change of clothes, snacks, and important documents. This will keep you from rummaging through boxes on your first day. 6. Take Photos of Electronics Setup Before unplugging your electronics, take photos of the wiring setup. This will make it easier to reconnect everything at your new place. 7. Use Suitcases for Heavy Items Pack books and other heavy items in rolling suitcases. This makes them easier to transport and reduces the risk of injury. 8. Colour-Code Your Boxes Use different coloured stickers or markers for each room. This will help movers quickly identify where each box should go in your new home.
