After a shocking dumping that saw Finley be voted one of the least favourite boys, and then voted out by his fellow Islanders, the fan favourite girl chose to leave with him.
While some fans wanted Ellie to power on through the show solo, she didn’t even consider that as an option as she had found what she came in for.
Speaking with Capital XTRA, the couple revealed their post-villa plan, as they have over 200 miles between them, hailing from Scotland and Wales.
Finley revealed: “This is something that we agreed very early on. So we agreed on London. That’s not to say Scotland and Wales are never an option; it’s just they are very similar, and we just want to move out of there.”
Ellie added: “I’ve always said I’ve wanted to move away from Scotland anyway.”
Finley responded: “And you’ve never really been to London. That’s crazy.”
She said: “I’ve only ever come for Love Island, so I've still not even seen Big Ben, so I’ve actually got a wee bit of things to do. So many tourist things to do”
So, the couple is exchanging sunny Mallorca for the Capital, in a big move of moving in with each other, after knowing each other for around six weeks.
