A public vote on March 7 saw Casey O’Gorman and Rosie Seabrook, Shaq Muhammad and Tayna Menhenga and, finally, Will Young and Jessie Wynter appear in the bottom three after they received the least amount of votes from viewers.

While the Islanders are normally given the opportunity to choose which couple should be sent home, this one was left to viewers and – much to the dismay of Tom, who was seen crying as Casey left the villa.
