David Salako has become the first Love Islander to be dumped from the villa after a recoupling left him single.
The property developer entered as a bombshell and sparked fiery scenes when he chose to kiss biomedical student Tanya Manhenga, who was coupled up with airport security officer Shaq Muhammad, during a dramatic game of beer pong.
Following the game, TV salesman Haris Namani quizzed Shaq, 24, over the kiss, which provoked Shaq to call him out for antagonising the situation, and a shouting match ensued.
In Friday night's recoupling, Tanya decided to stay coupled up with Shaq.
In his exit interview, David said: "I didn't know who Tanya was going to pick. It was a 50/50 split between Shaq and I. The four things she said during the recoupling, I thought were about me, and then she picked Shaq. I was like, 'That's wonderful...'"
He went on to say that he thought the couple had a "good bond".
"But they'll have tests," he added.
"Shaq will have a girl come in who likes him. So it'll be interesting to see if his head turns. But for now, they are a good couple, definitely."
David described going in as a bombshell as "nerve-wracking", but said he felt he and fellow bombshell Zara "did shake things up a bit".
The recoupling saw six pairs formed: Lana and Will, Anna-May and Kai, Olivia and Haris, Tanya and Shaq, Tanyel and Ron, and Zara and Tom.
The series continues on Virgin Media Two and ITV2.
