A Love Island<\/a> All Stars pairing has been eliminated from the villa mere hours before the series three finale.<\/p>\n

The ITV2 spin-off returned last month, giving former contestants another opportunity to find romance. This series saw the reality TV<\/a> personalities jetting off to South Africa, where they’ve been working hard to remain in the competition.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow (February 23), the series finale will air, with presenter Maya Jama<\/a> set to announce the 2026 champions.<\/p>\n

With the finale imminent, original contestant Belle Hassan and late arrival Harrison Solomon have been sent packing from the programme.<\/p>\n

Their departure follows Friday night’s dramatic return of previous Islanders to the villa, who were given voting power.<\/p>\n

The returning cast members were asked to select the pairing they considered least compatible, and justified their decisions in front of everyone, reports OK!<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The former contestants questioned Harrison’s sincerity, given his recent separation from ex-girlfriend Lauren Wood, who was devastated to discover Harrison on All Stars as they’d maintained regular communication.<\/p>\n

Harrison has stated they ended their relationship in October last year, though they’ve continued to stay in touch.<\/p>\n

Prior to tonight’s broadcast, viewers had been predicting that Scott van-der-Sluis and Leanne Amaning, along with Sean Stone and Lucinda Strafford, would garner the highest number of votes.<\/p>\n

Whilst both couples share deep bonds, Lucinda and Scott have found themselves embroiled in fiery rows throughout this season, which many anticipated would resurface.<\/p>\n

Viewers’ predictions proved accurate when Charlie wasted no time taking aim at Scott following his comeback, branding the footballer “the biggest snake” in the villa.<\/p>\n

At the same time, Shaq expressed doubts about the authenticity of Lucinda’s emotions towards Sean, suggesting she has been delivering “an act”.<\/p>\n

Following the tense firepit elimination, just five couples remained in the competition.<\/p>\n
