Dumped Love Islanders Will, Jessie, Casey and Rosie mobbed by fans as they arrive back in the UK after missing final

LOVE Island's final dumped stars were mobbed by loved ones and fans after arriving back in London.

Will Young, Jessie Wynter, Casey O'Gorman and Rosie Seabrook narrowly missed out on the Love Island finale, but were in high spirits as they touched down at Heathrow airport.

All four didn't stay to see Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan take home the win, catching a flight home on the day of the final instead.

Will and Jessie – who were eliminated on Sunday night – were all smiles as they gave out hugs, took selfies and shared giggles with those waiting for them.

The pair were the final couple to be dumped from the villa after being voted by the other islanders as "least compatible".

But that hasn't seemed to dampen their spirits as they beamed and celebrated at the airport.

Casey and Rosie were close-by, smiling for cameras and sticking close together as they made their way through the arrivals gates.

While fans thought they may have already split after being dumped from the show this week, the couple remained tight, with Casey throwing a protective arm around Rosie as they walked to get their ride home.

Casey and Will, who became tight friends in the villa, had an awkward moment just the day before on spin-off Aftersun after Maya Jama showed Will a clip of what Casey said about his relationship.

Branding his bestie a 'snake', Will looked genuinely upset as he heard Casey bad-mouthing his relationship with Jessie.

A gobsmacked Will was left open-mouthed at the scene, and pointed his finger across the studio at Casey, shouting: "Snake!"

Casey tried to respond: "We actually spoke about that," but Will was unimpressed, and turned away from him.

"I said so many times, be honest with me, be open with me and the boy lied," he shouted, to which Casey responded: "Me and Will, straight after that, I said I felt like it was a complete act."

"Did I not?" he asked Will, who hit back, turning away from him again: "Roll the tapes. Just roll the tapes."

Though the four may not have been there in person, they should've been home on time to watch the final episode.

Kai and Sanam were crowned the winter 2023 winners, taking home £50,000 after beating Lana Jenkins and Ron Hall at the final hurdle.

Tom Clare and Samie Elishi came in third place, with Shaq Muhammad and Tanya Manhenga coming in fourth.

Love Island is available for catch-up on ITV2 and ITVX.
