Love Island: Jake Breaks His Silence After Leaving The Villa

Love Island's Jake Cornish has spoken out upon news he has quit the villa.

The 24-year-old reportedly walked out of the programme alongside ex-girlfriend Liberty Poole just days before the final, after they realised their relationship just wasn't working.

And Jake's Instagram seemingly confirms things for the pair are over for good.

The contestants' social media pages are ran by family and friends while they're coupling up in the villa - and the person running Jake's account posted a message that suggests the pair have walked - and since gone their separate ways.

Posting a clip from Liam Reardon's birthday celebrations yesterday in the villa, the post read: "Jake may not have found his ‘Happy Ever After’ but he’s learnt to sing Happy Birthday in Welsh.

"Sending our boy a whole lot of love and hope him and Liberty Poole are both okay."

Fans will see Jake and Liberty make the big decision to leave the programme in Friday night's edition of Love Island, seeing the pair go on their final date.

The couple, who are taken on a yacht, hash out the remnants of their relationship.

"I don’t know what happened along the way but the spark just faded," Liberty said.

“On my behalf I felt the affection died out," Jake replied. "That’s a big thing for me and that’s nothing against you as a person.”

"I’m not going to lie - I did fall in love with you," Liberty said. "And at one point I thought I had found the one but once the honeymoon passes you start seeing the cracks.”

It was reported by the Mail Online earlier today that Jake and Liberty had quit the villa.

An insider told the publication: "It was a really tough decision for the couple to make, but it felt like the right thing to do.

"They'd given it their all on camera and wanted to let their friends in other couples have a chance at winning

"Saying goodbye was emotional for all the Islanders, as they've become so close, like family, but it won't be long before they're all reunited.

"It's not 100 per cent over for Jake and Liberty, there are still a lot of feelings involved, so who knows what will happen on the future."
