The lowest scoring duo on Heartbreak Island have been told to leave the show after a ruthless round of elimination.
The controversial show, which began on TVNZ 2 on Monday, sees 16 singletons looking for love while living together in Fijian bures. The last couple standing wins $100,000 and a car.
The elimination came after the show's first couples challenge that saw Ella and Izaak with the least amount of points.
They could have been saved by other contestants in a move called "ditch and switch", but no one chose to do so.
