Key exits included early departures from the villa due to personal reasons or after failing to couple up during recouplings. The public vote determined which Islanders remained in the villa each week, with the bottom two or three couples facing elimination. The final week narrowed the field to the last two couples, with the winning couple decided by a public vote. The season's format remained consistent with previous Love Island series, emphasizing daily recouplings, public voting, and villa drama. Detailed contestant profiles and weekly results were published by ITV and referenced by entertainment outlets.
