Love Island’s Dominic Lever threatens to quit the villa to pursue romance with Jessica Shears after she is booted off the show in shock twist
Heartbroken Dom has told bosses he’s thinking about leaving the show to be with Jess
LOVE Island’s Dominic Lever has threatened to walk out of the villa to be with Jessica Shears after she was kicked out last night.
Dom was left heartbroken when Jess left the villa and The Sun Online can reveal he’s close to quitting the ITV2 dating show.
A source told The Sun Online: “Dom’s in torment at the moment. He's spent all day in there wondering what to do - should I stay or should I go.
“He knows people from the past have left before. Last year Sophie Gradon walked out of the show to get back with boyfriend her ex Tom Powell so Dom knows that really, because he's found someone he truly cares about, he could leave just like Sophie.
“But quitting the show would be a big step for him.
“He's been anxious about it all day and really tormented by it.
“He's been weighing up the options in his mind all day as he doesn't know if he can see out five weeks without Jess.
“Bosses are hoping he stays - currently he's still inside the villa.”
When Dom heard Jessica was leaving he was so upset he dropped to his knees.
The pair had an emotional farewell and, speaking exclusively to The Sun Online after her exit, Jessica told us she saw their relationship going the distance.
She explained: “It feels like I’ve lost out on the chance to keep going with Dom in there because we had we had become so close in such a short time.
“And there were conversations we were having about what was coming for us in the next two weeks, let alone the next seven weeks…
“Mine and Dom’s relationship was just sexual [but] it was also an intellectual and emotional bond.
“Olivia said to me as I left, ‘No matter what you’ve won. You’ve got an amazing guy and you’ve best friend for life.’
“I have already won even if I came out early. I’ve come out with more than I could have ever expected. I don’t feel remorseful or regret anything that happened.”
Love Island continues tomorrow at 9pm on ITV2.
