LOVE Island has been thrown into chaos after Jake Cornish dropped out of the All-Stars series after just three days.
The 26-year-old, who previously worked as a water engineer in Weston-super-Mare, had coupled up with his ex Liberty Poole while on the show but has now dropped out in an emotional exit.

A source close to the ITV show said: "Jake was really shocked to see Liberty in the villa - they had no idea the other person would be there.
“It was clear from the start they wouldn't get back together, then none of the girls wanted to step forward for him.
“Jake had a nice three days in the villa and had a very emotional chat to Maya Jama.
“Jake couldn't stay in the villa so he quit the show - it's not his time and it's not the right time to find love."
Jake and Liberty met during series 7 of Love Island but they soon broke up just days before the final.
Last night, it was reported that Jake looked dismayed after coupling up with Liberty.
After hearing the news from Maya Jama, he shouted: "I knew it."
Speaking of how he felt about the situation, he said: "I don't hate the girl."
The pair were the first to enter the villa, leaving both surprised.
He later told the other islanders: "Me and Lib left the show, not seen her about, not spoke to her, but I've definitely matured massively. Older, bigger, wiser, better looking."
Liberty explained in her video: "I was on series seven. I'm probably best known for breaking up with my ex Jake a few days before the finals."
