Love Island star Uma Jammeh has made a sensational exit from the show, MailOnline can reveal.
The model, 23, made the choice to ITV2 villa after her partner Wil Anderson was brutally dumped.
She was chosen by the surprise Reuben Collins during a renewed relationship, resulting in Wil being removed from the series.
But she followed her heart and told her bosses that her only option was to leave with her partner, giving up her place in the competition.
The scenes will shock viewers after Uma was devastated by Wil’s actions during Casa Amor, which saw him pursue Lucy Graybill and fail to apologize when incriminating scenes aired during the show’s movie night.

The model made the choice to leave the ITV2 villa after her partner Wil Anderson was dumped in a brutal twist
She followed her heart and told bosses that her only option was to leave with her partner, sacrificing her place in the competition.
A source revealed: ‘Uma made her feelings for Wil clear by remaining loyal to him during Casa Amor.
‘But now she’s made a big decision by leaving Love Island after he dumped her when she was stolen by one of the new bombshells.
‘It was an emotional moment that she shared with all the islanders, but she wanted to do it to stay true to herself.
‘She knew at this final stage of the competition that she would not develop feelings for anyone else and she could not imagine Wil leaving alone.’
The couple left Love Island after Wil, 23, was criticised for the way he treated Uma.
She was in tears after bosses aired scenes from Casa Amor during the show’s filming night, in which he pursued other connections and insisted his type was a “petite blonde”.
He became defensive, claiming he had acted because he felt like it. He refused to apologize to Uma, who had explained that she was hurt.
Uma says ‘revenge is sweet’ after she is chosen to date newcomers Reuben Collins and Joshua Oyinsan, which ultimately leads to Wil being ousted from the show.

During her time on Love Island, the model dated Ayo Odukoya before developing feelings for Wil.
Uma and Ayo started dating, despite his connection with Mimii, with whom he continued to have a relationship later on.
She took her time getting to know Wil, waiting a week before kissing the cost calculator. But after they were separated during Casa Amor, Uma’s feelings became clear.
However, Will passionately kissed Lucy, calling his romance with Uma into question.
After his behaviour was shown on the big screen, Uma said: ‘I feel so embarrassed, I really thought he was a different person…
“For you to sit there and think, oh yeah, that’s the perfect type for me, is pretty upsetting for me to hear.”
The tables are turned when Uma starts dating the newbies. She says, “Revenge is sweet… that’s exactly what I needed to remind myself of who I am.”
