A MARKETING consultant from Co Down has been dumped from Love Island.

Matthew McNabb left the programme after Priya Gopaldas opted to couple up with Brett Staniland during a recoupling on Wednesday’s episode of the ITV2 dating show.

Priya and Matthew had previously hit it off and even shared a kiss at the beginning of the episode.

However she chose to partner with Brett, a 27-year-old PhD student and model from Derbyshire, after the pair went on a date during Wednesday’s programme.

Following the recoupling, Priya said: “It’s bittersweet, because Matt is such a good guy.

“I have so many positive things to say about him and I think that’s why I’m so upset.

“I hope I haven’t made a mistake.”

Matthew, who is from Ballynoe near Downpatrick is the co-founder of marketing firm MCN.

Speaking in the Beach Hut, Priya also described newcomer Brett, who arrived in the villa on Wednesday, as “fit”.

“He’s so good looking and he’s a health student!

“He’s a studier, nearly got a PhD – Dr Brett! I was drooling.”

Wednesday’s episode ended by teasing an upcoming clip of Liberty Poole expressing doubts about her relationship with Jake Cornish.

Love Island continues on ITV2 and ITV Hub.
