Model Sophie Anderton has become the 14th person to leave Love Island, narrowly missing out on a place in Monday's final after losing to Kelle in a straight fight.
To her credit, the 28-year-old has been one of the show's more memorable contestants, albeit often for the wrong reasons.
Yesterday she admitted to being a "psychopath" in the first few weeks of Love Island, leading to very public spats with Victoria Hervey; although Sophie denies being "obsessed with ex-contestant Shane Lynch.
"He's an incredible man. I think I was more obsessed with the idea of what he stood for. I spent three more intimate days in that love shack than ever in my previous relationship," she said in the after-eviction interview.
But while Sophie may be a little sad at leaving the lovely resort behind, her fellow islanders seem quite ok about it.
It didn't take long for Brendan and Chris to revert to their favourite pastime of talking about people behind their backs, with the latter saying of Sophie "she's not a supermodel".
Not to be outdone, Brendan chipped in with: "I can't quite get over the whole thing where she keeps saying 'the originals' in front of Calum and Kate. Now, if that's how you feel, understandable, but f***ing shut your mouth and try not to put people in the position where they feel bad about the situation."
Kelle meanwhile was ecstatic about surviving another nervy eviction night, although she appears to have slightly misjudged how Sophie has been perceived during the series' run.
"Coming up against Sophie and knowing that I beat her in votes is ridiculous. I'm speechless. It is so amazing. I'm not happy that I beat Sophie but just because it is Sophie. She has told me what she has done and how popular she is in the press. I'm gobsmacked. I appreciated it so much," she gushed.
Must be the heat.
