Who left Love Island 2023?
David Salako
Bombshell David became the first contestant to leave the villa in 2023 after a recoupling in episode 5. While David was interested in Tanya, she chose to couple up with Shaq. After Tanyel chose to couple up with Lana’s first choice, Ron, Lana had to make a decision between the two remaining boys: Will and David.
Lana ultimately chose to couple up with Will, meaning David was left without a partner, leading him to become the first contestant to exit the villa in the series.
Anna-May Robey & Haris Namani
Anna-May and Haris were both part of the original cast to enter the villa. However, a public vote ultimately led to them being eliminated.

Viewers were asked to vote for the boy and the girl they most wanted to keep in the villa, with those who received the lowest amount of votes in danger of being eliminated. The bottom three girls were Tanya, Anna-May, and Tanyel, and the bottom three boys were Kai, Haris, and Tom.
It was new bombshells Jessie and Aaron who had to make the final decision about which boy and which girl were sent home, and at the start of episode 10, the pair eventually decided that Anna-May and Haris would be leaving the villa.
