LOVE Island viewers were left heartbroken as Ovie Soko broke down in tears while voting to dump best pal George Rains from the villa.
The 28-year-old hunk disagreed with partner Anna Vakili’s choice and sobbed as she delivered their verdict to the group.
The Islanders were horrified when they were told that they had to choose to dump either Amy Hart and Curtis Pritchard or Lucie Donlan and George from the villa.
Ovie desperately tried to fight George’s corner with Anna, telling her that he’d be on his own in the show if the blonde gets kicked out – having previously been pied by the brunette beauty.
But Anna refused to listen, and as she told the group that they’d chosen to save Amy and Curtis Ovie put his head in his hands and wept.
The shocked pharmacist asked the others if Ovie was crying, with the group offering comfort to the hunk as he cried.
Lucie and George ended up getting the fewest votes and were forced to leave the Island, which only upset Ovie further.
Explaining his heartache, the star told Anna: “I am supposed to be one of his only friends and I didn’t even fight for him.”
Speaking in the Beach Hut, he continued: “I put the ball in Anna’s court and it hurt me because I feel I didn’t stick up for my mate.
“It’s a bitter pill to swallow.”
Fans at home were heartbroken by Ovie’s emotional response, flocking to social media to share their reaction.
One wrote: “Ovie is Breaking my heart. We love a sensitive man.”
Another added: “Aww my heart is breaking for Ovie.”
A third asked: “Who else was crying with Ovie?”
