Love Island 2022: reaction as Preston’s Jamie Allen is dumped from the island with Danica Taylor

27-year-old Halifax Town footballer Jamie Allen was dumped from the show last night alongside 21-year old dancer Danica Taylor.

The public had been voting for their favourite couple, and on Tuesday night viewers learnt that Jamie and Danica, Dami Hope and Indiyah Polack, and Adam Collard and Paige Thorne, were at risk.

But it was the Preston footballer and his Leicester lady who ultimately received the fewest votes, saying their goodbyes in last night’s episode.

What did Jamie say about his departure?

Whilst packing his suitcase, Jamie was asked if he would pursue things with Danica on the outside, to which he replied: “100% why not?”

Speaking after his exit, Jamie said: “My journey was a lot shorter than Danica’s obviously but I went in there trying to find a genuine connection and I feel like I have done that.”

What did Jamie’s fellow islanders say about him?

His partner Danica said: “I’m walking out of here with somebody I genuinely think I’ve got a good connection with”

Adam added: “Jamie’s back out for preseason but also he’s got a little fireball in Danica with him”

Davide Sanclimenti summarised: “Jamie’s a nice person”
