Millie Court made a stunning move on January 22, choosing to send her partner Charlie Frederick home from the Love Island: All Stars villa. As the public’s favorite female contestant, Millie had the power to save one boy from elimination and, in a twist viewers celebrated, she did not choose Charlie. This decision followed days of tension after Charlie was caught in a messy situation involving Millie’s close friend, Jess Harding.
The moment unfolded after host Maya Jama revealed the results of a public vote. Millie was named the favorite girl, while fellow Islander Scott van-der-Sluis was the favorite boy. Their prize was a major responsibility: each had to choose one contestant to dump from the villa. Scott chose to send home AJ Bunker. Millie’s choice came down to Konnor Ewudzi, Sean Stone, and Charlie, the man she had been coupled with.
The Red Flags and Secret Garden Drama That Led to the Breakup
In the days before the dumping, Charlie’s actions raised concerns with both Millie and other Islanders. The main issue began when fellow contestant Scott van-der-Sluis confronted Charlie about his behavior. Scott accused Charlie of “having his cake and eating it” after he walked past Millie to take Jess to the villa’s “Secret Garden” for a private chat.
Scott van-der-Sluis said to Charlie: “Me and Mills were sat on the sun decks earlier and you walked straight past us with Jess [to go to the Secret Garden]. That’s the first time I’ve been shocked in here… Maybe having your cake and eating it a little bit”.
Charlie defended himself, stating he was a single man in the villa and could do what he wanted. However, the situation escalated when, just before a recoupling ceremony, Charlie kissed Jess on the terrace. Viewers noted the kiss was awkward, with Charlie leaning in while Jess was still talking. Despite this new connection, Charlie still chose to couple up with Millie immediately afterward, telling Jess his decision was because Millie was a “good kisser”.
Fan Reactions to Millie’s Power Move and Charlie’s Exit
The audience’s reaction to the dumping was overwhelmingly supportive of Millie. On social media, fans praised her decision as a powerful moment of self-respect. Many felt Charlie’s behavior throughout the week justified the dramatic exit.
- Viewers called the dumping “TV gold” and celebrated Millie for “throwing out the trash”.
- Comments on platforms like X (formerly Twitter) included sentiments like, “Put some respect on Millie !!! ABSOLUTE SAVAGE” and “I take back everything I ever thought about Millie. She’s a WOMAN!!”.
- Others simply stated, “Millie just pulled a power move dumping the guy who did her wrong”.
A separate fan poll conducted around the time of the public vote seemed to reflect this sentiment, showing Charlie as one of the least favorite contestants among viewers. Meanwhile, Millie’s popularity secured her the top spot among the female Islanders.

Following the dumping, speculation quickly turned to Millie’s next moves. Unseen footage released after the episode showed Millie thanking Scott for his support and advice during the situation with Charlie.
Millie said to Scott in unaired scenes: “You have very much looked out for me in my situation…I kind of just want to say thank you. I feel like you’ve given me some good advice over the last few few days”.
Scott replied, “It’s on to bigger and better things. You deserve better than that”. This conversation led some fans to speculate that Millie might now explore a connection with Scott, who is currently coupled with Leanne Amaning. Comments on social media suggested viewers believed Millie was making a smart strategic play by aligning herself with the most popular boy.
