Kendall Rae Knight has become the first contestant to be dumped from this year’s series of Love Island, after her partner Adam Collard decided to couple up with lawyer Rosie Williams.
As he announced his decision Collard said he had chosen Williams because he was “attracted to her from the moment he saw her” and he felt he had not given her enough of a chance.
After making his choice Collard said in the diary room: “I care about Kendall and how she feels but I can’t see me and her moving forward down the line, so it was the right decision.”
