Add ARY News on Google AAResize Love Island 2026 barely had time to heat up before one of its first bombshells detonated — by walking out. George Knight, the 28-year-old professional footballer from Winchester, has quit the villa after just one day in the spotlight, leaving Islanders and viewers reeling.
George arrived during the June 1 launch show as the very first male bombshell of Series 13, entering alongside Yasmin Hadlow. But before fans could even learn his surname, he was gone. ITV confirmed Wednesday that he had already left the Majorcan villa for “private reasons,” with his exit set to air later this week.
A Love Island spokesman said: “For private reasons, George has left the Love Island villa”. A source added that “duty of care for the Islanders is paramount so at this stage any further comment will come from George. Bosses and viewers alike had been loving his contribution”.
