Poor Sophie Piper was left in tears last night after being told she had to leave Love Island after spending three weeks in the South African villa alongside her fellow Islanders. But ~on the plus side~ Sophie said she now can't wait to get back to the UK and see Connor Durman, which is excellent news because Connor said he's just as excited to see her.

After watching her exit last night, Connor shared a snap of them cuddling on Instagram and sweetly wrote next to it: "Proud of @SophiePiper_ and can't wait to see her."

The pair coupled up straight away and, despite a few ups and downs, they appeared to genuinely like each other. Despite choosing not to follow him out of the villa, Sophie said she's hoping they can now rekindle their villa romance.

Speaking in her exit interview, the 21-year-old medical PA said: "I definitely was debating leaving when Connor was dumped because I just thought, there's no way I can get to know someone else like I did with him all over again. I didnt want to either. But at the same time I didnt want my experience to end from me leaving off my own back so thats why I wanted to stay.

"I cant wait to see Connor when I get back, it would be nice to go on a few dates and see what happens," she continued. "I am very nervous to speak to him. I keep thinking, Will he even answer a DM? because I dont have his number!"

Love Island airs at 9pm on ITV2
