Watch the moment Love Island’s Ronnie issues warning to Matilda about Sean as he takes swipe at him
LOVE Island’s dumped star Ronnie Vint left fans elated when he issued a stark warning to pal Matilda Draper regarding her partner Sean Stone.
The duo are exclusive in the ITV2 villa yet have recently faced a series of bumps in the road due to the candy store owner’s opinionated ways.
During Love Island‘s penultimate episode for the 2024 season, all the dumped Islanders made their comeback – including Samantha Kenny, 27, who said her piece to former partner Joey Essex, 33.
Yet it was semi professional footballer Ronnie, 28, who left with partner Harriett Blackmore, 24, who dug in the knife in unexpected scenes.
When it was his turn to vote, he took the chance to issue a warning to Matilda.
He told the group: “Missed you all man.
“You’re all smashing it but obviously, knowing Matilda on the outside, I don’t think you’d couple up with Sean
“And I feel like this connection in here is just in here.”
Targeting his next words at Sean he said: “The obsession with another couple in here, I feel like you’ve took your eye off the real reason you’re in here.
“So the couple I am going to send home is Sean and Matilda.”
After a huge pause, in which the duo stayed silent, host Maya Jama said: “So you think Sean’s obsessed with Jess and Ayo, and Josh and Mimii?”
Ronnie added: “Yeah, the way its come across and what I’m seeing.
“I feel like these two have got something good, I feel like these two [the two couples] have got something special, you know what I’m saying?”
Directing his comments to the sweet seller he said: “What you’v got there is special.
“Just concentrate on that.”
Sean took some responsibility as he replied: “I have been very opinonated in here.
“But I feel what we’ve got is special, so I appreciate you comments.”
Maya flagged that Matilda looked less than impressed at her pal’s analysis.

The pair realised they knew each other when Matilda made her bombshell entry into the villa before it was revealed she had dated Ronnie’s mate.
She clapped back: “I don’t get the outside world comment because he’s seen one person that I’ve been with.”
Ronnie interjected: “It’s nothing persona to you, I love you, you know that.
“But I’m just seeing what I’ve seen.
“And going on the outside world I don’t think it’ll last – that’s my reason.”
And while Matilda might not have been pleased, fans were delighted that Ronnie showed his straight-talking side.
One took to X to remark: “TURBO SMOKED Matilda and Sean!!! idc what anyone says I love Ronnie. idc. idc. flog me!”
A second put: “Nah big up Ronnie for actually speaking up about Sean’s weird obsession fr.”
A third added: “Ronnie’s explanation for why he picked Sean and Matilda is the best so far.”
One then mused: “Ronnie!!! You kept it 100 per cent. #Loveisland Sean been obsessed with Mimi, Josh, Ayo and Jess!”
Ronnie was voting for the couple to be dumped just a day before the final.
Earlier in the weekend, The Sun had exclusively revealed how two stars had been dumped – and had already left the ITV2 villa.
It came after fan worked out the killer twist – which came at the hands of the return of the former dumped Islanders.
Joey Essex and Jessy Potts were ultimately given the boot.
Yet, during a chat on Aftersun, fans questioned their connection and suggested Joey was faking his feelings.
