Well, last nights votes were as expected – Joe and Elma's time in Love Island has come to an end. 

While Anton once again single, Joe's departure leaves Lucie without the guys he's been coupled up with since pretty much day one.

While Joe's behaviour towards her has gotten a huge media backlash and he has been accused of being controlling and possessive, Lucie's reaction when he was booted off showed that she does have feelings for the lad.

Joe took Lucie to talk before he left the villa and he said that he would wait for her. 

Lucie then said later, ''If it were me going, what would Joe do?''

He would go probably…but should she?

Fans had varied opinions – some think that she should keep her options open while others want her and Joe to be together.

One said, ''Why does nobody do a @ItsRykard on #loveisland anymore?? If you're really into someone you'd go with em #Lucie #Joe.''

I think Lucie should follow her heart – and if that's with Joe, then good for her.

But maybe someone will come in who doesn't mind her being friends with guys?

Just a thought…

The Lucie-Joe situation on Love Island is getting out of hand – if you look at social media.

The 22-year-old Londoner has been accused of manipulative and controlling behaviour towards his partner, 21-year-old Lucie Donlon.

The surfer has been shown to be in tears on numerous occasions when Joe has said he doesn't like her close relationship with Tommy and thinks she should hang out with the girls more.

Now, Women’s Aid UK has released a statement regarding this behaviour.

Adina Claire is the Co-Chief Executive of the woman's advocacy group and she was the one who spoke about the subject.

She said, ''Controlling behaviour is never acceptable, and with Love Island viewers complaining to Ofcom in record numbers about Joe’s possessive behaviour towards Lucie, more people are becoming aware of this and want to challenge it.''

She continued, ''Abusive relationships often start off with subtle signs of control, so it’s important that it is recognised at an early stage. Love Island viewers are now very vocal in calling out unhealthy behaviour between couples on the show, and this is a positive development.”

Fans of the show are also worried for Lucie as it seems that she is quite isolated in there now, with no-one except Maura going to see if she was ok after her talk with Joe.

One said, ''Can’t believe Joe really just said “think it’s time to get close to the girls” to Lucie like????? Is she not allowed male friends. Lucie pls leave him.''

While another wrote, ''Lucie is probably the least shadiest girl in the villa and she's been nothing but nice but sis is out here crying every night because she feels so alienated thanks to Amy's manipulations. And to make things worse now Joe's turned too.''

Producers of the show have said that they are taking the situation seriously.

A spokesman said, ''We take the emotional well-being of all the islanders extremely seriously. We have dedicated welfare producers and psychological support on hand at all times who monitor and regularly speak to all of the islanders in private and off camera, especially if someone appears to be upset.''

They continued, '' All the Islanders are therefore fully supported by the professionals on site and by their friends in the villa.This means islanders are always able to reach out and talk to someone if they feel the need. We will, of course, continue to monitor all of our islanders in line with our robust protocols.''
