LOVE Island's Dejon has been slammed by show stars for his half-hearted exclusive proposal to Meg.
The villa lothario hatched an overly elaborate plot to get Meg onto the terrace for a private chat last week, using pal Conor as a decoy to lure her up there.

Once the pair were alone, he set about finally closing off their relationship, having come under fire for flirting with numerous bombshells.
Dejon read out a heartfelt speech, in which he said his "respect for Meg was endless", sending Meg giddy.
He told her "your smile brightens up any room that you enter" and "when I'm with you I feel like the happiest man in the world".
Dejon's move came after Movie Night exposed his true behaviour and former Islanders Indiyah Polack and Amy Hart, as well as celeb super-fan Joe Baggs, felt he could have given her more.
Speaking on Saturday's The Morning After podcast, Joe said: "It's gone on so long it lowkey doesn't mean anything anymore."
Amy chipped in: "I think he should have asked her to be his girlfriend."
Joe continued: "To make all that fuss with 'Conor, can you go and grab her' not even a pancake or waffle, a flower, a bow'. I thought it was pretty poor from my side."
Indiyah said: "It was pretty low budget. I feel like that he could have asked Meg up there, he didn't need Conor to ask Meg up to the terrace."
She then claimed that Dejon doesn't want to be Meg's boyfriend but was forced to make a gesture after exhausting all his options.
Viewers felt the same, with one posting on X: "Dejon is so lazy couldn't even do a nice breakfast or a makeshift exclusive proposal like the previous years."

Another said: "Blah, blah, blah! This is so textbook."
Ultimately, the trio don't hold much hope for a happy future for them, stating, "the bar is on the floor".
Prior to going exclusive, Meg was forced to watch Dejon's antics on a big screen.
She was particularly shocked by his kiss with Andrada during a game of Truth or Dare in Casa Amor and the fact he called her "Babygirl".
Meg fumed: "Babygirl? Baby f****** girl. That's crazy."
But she ultimately cooled off and directed more of her anger towards Andrada.

Love Island star slams Shakira for ‘f* up' comment to Harry saying ‘you can't say that'
A FORMER Love Island star has slammed Shakira Khan for her 'f***** up' comment to Harry, saying 'you can't say that.' Josh Ritchie, 31, rose to fame on the hit dating show in 2015 and more recently appeared on All Stars, where he met now girlfriend Sophie Piper. 4 4 4 And the former builder is clearly engrossed in the current series of the show, and shares his thoughts on the scenes and Islanders on his socials. In a recent update, Josh disagreed with something Shakira said, while she was sitting on the stairs with Harry. The 22-year-old from Burnley insinuated that she wouldn't even be able to go to supermarket Aldi after the show, hinting towards her newfound fame. And Josh was quick to tell fans: 'She can't say that.' Speaking to his camera, the star said: 'Shakira has not just said 'I wonder what life is going to be like after, I can't even go to Aldi.' 'It's not the fact that of shopping at Aldi because I actually don't mind that - I've shopped there a few times. 'But it's the fact that she thinks that she's going to be famous. You can't say that, the fact that you think you're going to be mega famous.' Looking unimpressed, Josh covered his head with a blanket while saying: 'Oh God.' He went on: 'That is f***** up, that. Wow.' It's been nothing short of a turbulent week for Shakira on Love Island, and The Sun revealed that she threatened to quit the show as a result. She had a meltdown in the beach hut after ending her blossoming relationship with Conor over fears she'd never get over Harry. The Sun can reveal Shakira was so upset by the situation, she went to seek support from the 24/7 duty of care team and asked to leave. Bosses were able to help her through the turmoil over a number of hours and she made the decision to stay. The meltdown happened after she ended things with the Irish rugby lad. A source said: 'Shakira has been through the wringer and was already at breaking point over her heartbreak by Harry. 'When Harry made it exclusive with Helena, everything unravelled and she realised she wasn't ready to be with Conor properly. 'She did the brave thing by ending that, but then the floodgates opened and she just didn't want to be in the villa anymore. 'She went to the beach hut and asked to leave the villa. 'The duty of care team were able to help her through her emotions and she decided to stay.' 4
