Love Island's Lolly Hart has responded to her absence from the live final.
The reality star, who was dumped from the villa shortly after her arrival as a bombshell earlier this month, was missing from last night's (July 29) live final despite many other eliminated Islanders being in attendance.
Responding to a fan who asked why she wasn't there during a Q&A on her Instagram Story, Lolly said: "Wake me up when you know the answer plz", with the answer text overlaid on a video of her on a train pretending to sleep.

It's also possible that Lolly was referring to her absence from Sunday night's (July 28) episode, which saw dumped Islanders return to the villa to eliminate one couple.
She also added in her Q&A that she would be watching the final at an event in Manchester "with some of the other girlies", later reposting photos and videos with co-stars Lucy Graybill, Ellie Jackson and Tiffany Leighton to her Instagram Stories.

Shortly after entering the villa, Lolly coupled up with Konnor Ewudzi. However, after being voted as one of the least compatible couples by the public, they were chosen to leave the show by fellow contestants Nicole and Ciaran.
Despite saying they were open to dating outside the villa during their exit interviews, the pair later explained on Love Island: Aftersun that they don't see a romantic future together and are "just friends" who would "go on nights out together".

In her Q&A, Lolly confirmed that she and Konnor had been on a few nights out together since leaving the show "and had an absolute ball – he's so much fun".
Love Island officially crowned its 2024 winners during the live final last night, with host Maya Jama announcing that Mimii and Josh had won the series and secured a £50,000 cash prize.
"Feeling overstimulated, overwhelmed, so grateful," Mimii said after their triumph, while Josh thanked the show's fans for voting for them.
Ciaran and Nicole took second place, while Sean and Matilda came in third and Ayo and Jess finished in fourth.
Love Island airs on ITV2 and streams on ITVX.
