With the final of Winter Love Island due to take place live this evening (13th March), fans were excited to tune in to the penultimate episode last night, to discover which couple would be dumped at the final hurdle.

After fans witnessed the Islanders' families visit the villa, the remaining couples were gathered for the results, with Will Young and Jessie Wynter, Ron Hall and Lana Jenkins, and Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan all at risk.

But as bosses tried to build suspense further with an ad break, fans were left fuming as host Maya Jama gave away the results whilst promoting spin-off show Aftersun.

She said on the ad: "Join me tonight in South Africa live from the villa. Dumped Islanders Will and Jessie and Casey and Rosie will be sharing the goss."

Fans were quick to take to social media to express their confusion and anger at the blunder.

One wrote: 'are we not going to speak about the spoiler 😭😭', with another adding: 'Not love island showing will and Jessie as the dumped islanders in the after sun promo before the dumping." (sic)

Another gasped: 'WHY ARE THEY TELLING US WHO IS DUMPED ALREADY #loveisland', with another writing: 'Not love island spoiling it again with the aftersun ad'. (sic)

It seems Maya, who is out in South Africa for the final, got a little too excited to promote the show earlier in the day, also giving away the results in a behind-the-scenes video on her Instagram page.

Check out all of the Love Island rules below:

No getting drunk

According to 2017 contestant Kem Cetinay, contestants are allowed one small glass of wine or beer a night with dinner.
Being drunk's an absolute no-no, so sex while intoxicated is obviously against the rules too.

No masturbating

No solo sex acts are allowed in the villa, though obviously allowed to get jiggy with their partner.

No nudity

Contestants cannot be naked in front of other islanders, since the villa is technically a public space.

No books, phones or magazines

The islanders are given snazzy phones from their sponsor, Samsung (what else would they get their texts on?); but anyone sneaking their own mobile phone into the villa would risk being removed.
Same goes for books and magazines, too.

No inappropriate language or behaviour

This could cover homophobic, racist or aggressive language and is quite the broad rule. Inappropriate behaviour is again at producers' discretion, and would include violence and sexual harassment.

No discriminating against staff

Any Islanders who are rude to crew could run the risk of being booted off the show, and contestants must NOT take their mic packs off unless instructed to.

Follow the rule book

Simple. Contestants must obey the rule book they're provided with; which includes information on safe sex, consent and how to know if you're following the guidelines.

Now that Will and Jessie have left, only four couples remain for Monday night's live final, including Tanya and Shaq, Lana and Ron, Sanam and Kai, and Sammie and Tom.

Speaking about what is next for herself and Will, Jessie said: "I’m heading to Will’s farm for the interim! I’m very excited to go there. I’ll be looking to move to London. Samie and I were going to look at apartments so we’ll see how all of that goes."

Admitting he would be open to moving to Australia, Will added: "I think it’s very fair to say I would go to Australia. A relationship is a two-way thing. It would be unfair for me to rely on Jessie moving here 100%. Australia has always been a place I’d like to go to and travel."

The Love Island final takes place at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX tonight.
