Love Island fans were quick to brand the outcome a “fix” while Samantha admitted she was “devastated” at the dumping.
Yet the sassy star – who had been paired with TOWIE‘s Joey, 33, before his head was turned by his ex, bombshell Grace, 25 – made sure she had a memorable exit.
Samantha was evicted from the show as model Grace – and her two fellow bombshells – were given first choice to pick their partners, leaving Samantha single at the end.
As Grace entered the bedroom while she was packing last night, she attempted to issue an apology and admitted she “felt bad” – after she had swiped Sam’s man Joey.
Yet the businesswoman was quick to put her in her place, saying she “didn’t want to hear it.”
Samantha was even more direct to Joey, who attempted to enter the bedroom for an apology.
She said to him: “Save it mate, save it.”
Later on she told him: ‘I don’t want to hear it.
“It’s all a load of s**t to me.”
GUTTED GIRL
Samantha was candid as she opened up on her show experience after leaving the compound.
She said: “Obviously I am devastated to leave all of the girls behind but I am very excited now to see what my future holds and look forward to seeing what is next.
“I was true to myself and didn’t feel like it was a waste of my time because I followed what I felt was right for me.
“When it comes to Joey, I think if I knew what I know now, I perhaps would have done things differently.”
FAMILY AFFAIR
Meanwhile, Samantha’s family have been quick to have her back on social media.
Love Island line-up 2024

Dumped:
- Patsy Field – Influencer Patsy Field went in week two.
- Munveer Jabbal – Munveer Jabbal also left the villa in week two.
- Sam Taylor – Hairdresser Sam Taylor was first to go after Joey Essex stole his girl.
Her sister Toni took to Instagram to share her support after the upsetting scenes.
She wrote: “Nobody makes my little Sam cry.
“Proud beyond belief of how strong you are my love. Keep telling them all to get f***ed & keep being the star of that show. Your mans on his way.
“Thanks for everyone’s lovely comments we all see them all & couldn’t be prouder of our girl.”
GIVE-AWAY
As well as believing Samantha exit is a fix, Love Island viewers also reckon Joey and Grace’s relationship is staged.
In scenes on the day bed, Joey told Grace: “I’ve missed your lips.”
Despite the pair claiming they split a year ago, they now speculate that Joey’s comment hints the lovebirds specifically broke up to reunite on the show.
One fan took to social media to muse: “What if, Joey and Grace actually planned this beforehand?”
They also called out a major flaw in the pair’s relationship storyline.
This came as Grace admitted Joey had messaged her two months ago – with some wondering why they hadn’t managed to patch things up then.
