Love Island stars Aidan and Priya have split up in emotional scenes that aired just days before the final and now fans are “genuinely worried” for one contestant in particular

Love Island stars Aidan and Priya have split up in emotional scenes just before they were dumped from the villa. The couple had been going strong on the ITV2 reality dating show, but things went awry when Aidan made a comment about his significant other, claiming that she “pounced” on him when they were in bed, and things have not really been the same since.

On Friday night’s episode of the reality show, the pair had the ultimate conversation, which viewers will know came just days after Aidan told Priya he was unsure of just how he felt about the girl who was meant to be his significant other.

Delivering the decision to break up, he told Priya: “It’s deep, it’s feelings. Maybe I’m really overthinking it, Priya. Maybe I’m really overthinking it. I’m gonna do not what I wanna do to not ruin our friendship. Let’s leave it.”

Priya then told the girls in the makeup room that they hard decided to part ways, and viewers instantly flooded social media. One fan wrote on X: “Sorry was Priya and Aidan’s friendship even that good to begin with?

Another said: “For the sake of Priya’s mental health, I hope she doesn’t open social media after the show & the wellness team helps her. I’m genuinely worried”A third wrote: “Why is Priya acting as if she’s the one that ended things with Aidan LMAOOOO”

Just moments later, it was revealed that Priya and Aidan had been voted out by the public anyway after fans decided they were the least-compatible couple on screen. Aidan was on the verge of tears as he said his goodbyes to the boys.

He told them: “The relationships, the friendships I have built in here have been incredible. It’s emotional but I feel really grateful to have been here. All you boys have helped be grow, and helped me change as a man, even though I haven’t found love.”

Priya was then quick to speak to the girls and describe them as a “sisterhood” as she thanked them for everything they had done for her.

Following the emotional exit, Priya spoke out about her time in the villa and seemed to only have positive things to say about her experience.

She said: “It feels surreal. I’ve had the best time ever. I’ve learned a lot, made mistakes, but also met the most amazing people ever. I feel very grateful for the experience.I’m really excited to catch up with my friends and family.

“If I could describe the experience in one word, I’d say humbling. Extraordinarily humbling. I’m going to remain strong and just take everything in my stride.”

When asked what it was like to leave specifically, Priya said: “It was actually really positive. We had a really nice ending. We had an amazing dinner, dressed to the nines, and left together.

“I believe that we have a genuine love for each other, whether that be platonic or romantic. I actually wouldn’t change the end to my journey in the slightest.”

Love Island continues Sunday night at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.

Despite already playing twice on home soil in the inaugural Nations Championship, New Zealand will relish a return to Eden Park, where they have not lost a Test since France were the victors in 1994.

However, the New Zealand coach said they cannot rest on their laurels when they welcome an Ireland side who are unbeaten in six games.

“It’s always nice going to Eden Park. It’ll be nice having a lot of supporters cheering for us,” he continued.

“It’s been a fortress, but what’s happened in the past counts for little. It’s about us making sure we get our prep right and mindset right.

“To play against an Irish side who, last time they toured this country, they won a series.”

Rennie also added the importance of closing down New Zealand-born scrum-half Jamison Gibson-Park.

The Leinster half-back crossed during Ireland’s tight 33-31 victory over Australia but did not feature in the much-changed team that faced Japan.

“Leinster have had a massive influence on Irish rugby for a lot of years. I like their combinations. They’re really strong. Jamison’s a big part of their success.

“We need to make life difficult for him so he can’t play on the front foot and apply pressure that way.”
