The footballer was exploring a solid connection before his sudden exit from the ITV2 show
Love Island star George Knight has reunited with his villa ex just days after quitting the show.
The 28-year-old footballer entered the series alongside Yasmin Hadlow on day two, but unexpectedly called it quits after just six days on the island.
While details of his exit were kept private at the time, George has since revealed that he received a phone call from home that sparked his decision to leave. He has explained that a family member had a health concern that he felt the need to fly back home for.
Before saying goodbye to the villa, though, the Winchester lad was exploring a romantic connection with OG Islander Robyn Langton. He even invited the Liverpool DJ to the Hideaway within 24 hours of meeting her, but she declined.
Robyn has now been booted out of the villa, after she was left single following the arrival of new bombshells Simba Kudyiwa and Tommy Murphy.
The ITV star has wasted no time finding her way back to her villa ex. George recently shared a clip of the duo’s reunion, with the pair excitedly running into each other’s arms.

They went out for a meal with ex-Islander Ope Sowande, who also shared snaps of them cosying up to one another.
While their bond was quickly growing in the villa, Robyn has shared a hesitant update on their post-show relationship. Speaking on Love Island: Aftersun on Sunday (June 14), the 21-year-old admitted she’s unsure about where their partnership is heading.
“We’ve spoke, we’ve had a little FaceTime,” she said. “But I don’t know. I’m just enjoying time with my family at the minute, I’m not even focusing on that.”
Robyn added: “But yeah, we’ve had a good conversation. George is boss. We get on really, really well. We’ve had a few convos, and we’ll see.”
It comes after the newfound reality star issued a lengthy statement following her eviction.
Taking to Instagram, she wrote in part: “Although finding ‘the one’ wasn’t as easy as I imagined, I wouldn’t change a single thing. Every moment taught me something, and I’m so grateful for the journey. Most of all, I’m so happy to be back home with my family and friends.”
Love Island continues on ITV2 and ITVX tonight at 9pm
