Stop the Love Island press. Jake Cornish is said to have quit the show just three days into All Stars.

According to reports, Jake was shocked to find his ex Liberty Poole was also taking part in the show.

A public vote decided who would initially be coupled up, and fans put Liberty and her ex together because OF COURSE THEY DID.

“Jake couldn't stay in the villa so he quit the show - it's not his time and it's not the right time to find love," a source told The Sun.

Before she went into the villa, Liberty revealed that she and Jake hadn't spoken for years, saying, "I don't know who he is now. I literally don't even know who he is as a person or what he is like.

She went on, "If a girl likes him and they're getting on and they're really happy then that's great for them and I'm not going to interfere with that. But I wouldn't say he’s for me.”

Jake spoke about being "done dirty" by Love Island in an interview before All Stars, saying, "When I came out last time, it was a case of, ‘Mate, they did you dirty on there’, and now I look at it and go, ‘If they want to do me dirty, that’s absolutely fine.’ It is what it is. There’s not a lot I can do about it. It’s out of my hands, I’m out of control of it."

What happened when Jake Cornish was on Love Island?

Back in 2021, Jake was part of the dating show from day one but ended up walking out on day 54 alongside Liberty.

The duo declared true love for each other when they were in the villa before realising their feelings were platonic. Jake and Liberty ended up quitting the show as they didn't want to ruin another couples' chance of making the final or winning the show.

What does Jake Cornish do?

Before his time on Love Island, Jake was a water engineer. After he left the villa, Jake went on to run his very own furniture brand. However, the 2021 Islander also announced he was working on another new venture with a very famous face from the world of soap...

Jake took to Instagram to let his followers know that he had taken up acting and will be appearing in a new film called Bermondsey Tales: Fall of the Roman Empire.

"The script for this is a blinder, you wait until it comes out," he teased.

"The first of many projects coming up, thank you to everyone who has helped me along the way."

Among the cast of the film is former EastEnders star and Strictly contestant Maisie Smith in her first acting role since she left the BBC soap.

She shared a series of behind-the-scenes snaps from filming on social media and admitted, "Feels so good to be back doing what I love most."

Was Jake Cornish in the army?

It doesn't look like Jake was ever in the armed forces, but he does have a rather large tattoo on his back connected to Remembrance Day; as such, some fans wondered whether perhaps he was a soldier himself.

What happened with Jake Cornish and Amber Gill?

Jake found himself in hot water when he commented on Love Island 2019 winner Amber Gill taking part in SAS: Who Dares Wins.

Jake tweeted, "Loving the SAS who dares wins with a certain someone getting beasted".

Amber, of course, didn't take it lying down and retaliated, "I was getting paid while you were *checks notes* selling garden furniture..."

OUCH. Don't mess with Amber, just ask 'chaldish' Michael Griffiths...
