He only arrived as a bombshell during the end of the launch show on Monday 1st June, but according to reports, Love Island series 13 star George Knight has sensationally quit the show.

According to The Sun, the professional footballer has left the villa due to 'private reasons'.

A spokesperson said: “For private reasons, George has left the Love Island villa.

“Duty of care for the Islanders is paramount so at this stage any further comment will come from George.

“Bosses and viewers alike had been loving his contribution.”

After arriving alongside Yasmin as the first two bombshells of the series, the pair were given a secret mission by host Maya Jama, which involved the pair having to decide which two OG Islanders they wanted to send packing, after just 24 hours.

George and Yasmin wasted no time in getting to know the Islanders, and on Wednesday (3rd June) night's show, the pair chose to send home Ellie and Samraj, but if the first look is anything to go by, not all is as it first seemed!

George will still feature in pre-recorded scenes on tonight's show (4th June), with his exit expected to air later this week.

At this moment in time, George is yet to publicly comment on his departure.

Lorenzo

Age: 28
Job: Business Owner

Lorenzo said: "I think drama is fun! As long as no one is crying, all is fair in love and war. It'll be interesting to see what unfolds…"

Mica

Age: 21
Occupation: Student
From: Barbados (lives in London)


Mica said: "I do not want a really egotistical, cringey man. That's not my vibe at all. I can't have someone who's more into themselves then they are me. They need to be obsessed with me."

Robyn

Age: 21
Job: Quantity Surveyor and DJ
From: Liverpool


Robyn said: "Finding love is my only goal. There may be a little bit of drama but I'm going in there for myself so I've got to do what I've got to do. But I would like to think I'm a girl's girl and that I handle situations quite well. I've got a mature brain."

Sean

Age: 25
Job: Primary School Teacher
From: Galway


Sean said: "I'm here for love but also here for drama. I won't be getting involved in it, I might be mixing it!"

Ellie

Age: 24
Job: Real Estate Videographer
From: West Lothian


Ellie said: "I want to find love but if drama comes from that then so be it. I want love and I'm not going to not fight for it."

Samraj

Age: 25
Occupation: Model
From: Birmingham


Samraj said: "Best case scenario I'm walking out with someone I really connect with. My first girlfriend. But I don't mind a bit of drama, it's fun! As long as no one is getting hurt."

Sam

Age: 25
Job: Electrician
From: Dudley


Sam said: "I definitely want to find love. I've had a good year being single and dating, but I'm at a stage now where I want to settle down and find the love of my life."

Lola

Age: 28
Job: Detective
From: Kent


Lola said: "I'm not overly into drama to be fair, I'm such a chilled person. I do like watching it but I don't want to be a part of it. I'm really looking for love, I want a boyfriend again. I want to find someone who is actually the love of my life, like obsessed with me kind of thing. I think I'm missing someone who is obsessed with me!"

Angelista

Age: 24
Job: Nurse
From: Staffordshire


Angelista said: "Finding love is my goal. I'm not here for drama, I'm non-confrontational. It's entertaining to watch from the sidelines, I just don't want to be involved in it!"

Ope

Age: 27
Job: West-End Performer
From: Lincolnshire


Ope said: "I'm not here for the drama and I want to find love, however the drama could be funny. I love the 'watching with a telescope, ooh what's going on, sip the tea' kind of vibe. I'm not here for the drama…but I'm here for the drama."

Jasmine

Age: 27
Job: Fashion Business Owner
From: Dubai (lives in London)


Jasmine said: "Straight for the goal. Life's too short to play it safe, that's boring. You don't go on Love Island to play it safe."

Aidan

Age: 23
Occupation: Property Broker
From: Kent


Aidan said: "Finding love is definitely the goal. That said, I do enjoy a bit of drama. I probably wouldn't get fully involved but I'd definitely be listening, taking it in - maybe stirring the pot a little bit."

Yasmin

Age: 23
Location: Broadstairs, Kent
Occupation: Recruitment Consultant

Yasmin said: "I'm here for love but I know that drama is gonna come with it. I've been from relationship to relationship, so it's my time to get stuck in. I think it would be difficult to go for the same guy as a girl if we were like best friends in the Villa. That's what I'm worried about! Then again, if I like her man, I'm gonna have to go for it and have those conversations. It's a small Villa but I'm used to this because I come from a small town where everyone knows everyone!"

George

Age: 28
Job: Professional Footballer
From: Winchester

George said: "I don't think I'd make any rash decisions, I'd review options. You don't want to get too deep, too early on. I'm open to getting to know everyone but as weeks go by, figure it out. I play midfield so maybe I'd go for that. If someone walked in that was straight away my type obviously I'd jump at it."

Love Island continues every night at 9pm on ITV2/ITVX and STV2/STV Player.
