LOVE Island's fans turned on Alex George and sealed his fate when he mugged off Alexandra Cane.

The 2018 voting figures have revealed the exact point when things turned sour for the 27-year-old doctor, who dodged dumpings and grafted his way around the paradise villa for almost eight weeks.

The stats show Alex was on track to be in the final when he finally partnered up with stunning Alexandra, 27, after failing to woo Ellie Brown, 20, Grace Wardle and Charlie Williams.

They were loved by people at home and came second behind Dani and Jack in their first round as a couple - taking 29.4 per cent of the public vote in week five.

But it didn't last and they slid down the leader board after Alex clapped eyes on surfer babe Laura Crane and told his partner that he wanted to graft elsewhere.

Though they re-coupled, Alex failed to convince fans he was genuine and they couldn't claw their way back - finding themselves in third place behind Laura Anderson and Paul Knops in the next vote.

also revealed Dani and Jack were on course from week two to win the show.

Their biggest haul of votes was in the last week of June where they nabbed an astonishing 76 per cent of the public's vote.

When people at home finally decided who they wanted to win, Jack and Dani were nominated by a landslide 73 per cent - leaving the other couples Laura and Jack, Kaz and Josh and Megan and Wes with less than 10 per cent each.

Love Island attracted a million more viewers from last year's finale and broke records on ITV2 - with 3.6million fans in total tuning in.
