LOVE Island's rivals have finally addressed the group's bitter divide during an explosive Grafties ceremony.
This year's edition of the ITV2 dating show has seen a long-running divide between the girls in the villa.

For the most part it has mostly consisted of close pals Toni, Shakira and Yasmin against Meg, Helena and Megan.
Whilst the feud has been clear to see and has been hinted at many times in the villa, it was only during tonight's Grafties that all six girls were forced to confront the issues head on.
It came as Toni and Shakira collected the award for Best Double Act but fans were quick to slam this decision by insisting it was a rigged edit in order to portray the two girls in a negative light ahead of the series finale in just over a week's time.
In the scenes, the group saw a video of Toni and Shakira expressing their disdain for Meg after a number of clashes with the star.
They also took issue with Helena and for her close bond with Meg.
In response, Meg appeared defensive and annoyed as she swiped at Toni and Shakira: "You two are crazy for saying all that about me!"
Sharkia then replied: "How? We had an argument that night?"
Meg then told the pair that they were "fake" to her to which the girls insisted that "was the point".
Toni said: "Meg, so are you. You act like you never say a bad word about anyone and then all we do is walk down the f***ing thing and you are like, 'look at them walking down the runway'."
As Meg pleaded that she was the same to the pair in front of their face, Toni insisted she was not as the divide was soon adressed.
Yasmin quickly jumped in to insist there had been a "divide" from the start as many of the Islanders appeared to nod in agreement.
Toni stated that the divide came from Meg, Helena and Dejon not being "warm and welcoming" and for going off on their own and leaving others out of their conversations - namely her, Shakira and Yasmin.
As the Islanders bickered over the divide for the first time, unhappy fans grumbled at show bosses by claiming the episode was "rigged" to portray Shakira and Toni negatively despite them being the ones to appear to have been isolated by other members of the group, whilst Meg and Helena appeared to be shown in a much more positive light.
Writing on X following the airing of the scenes, one fan said: "Nah these f***ing producers have p***ed me off.... why are they not showing all the f***ing s*** muggy Meg and hideaway Helena have said.
"Like f*** off. These last few episodes have been rigged in favour of muggy Meg."
Another added: "Producer at it again making meg and Helena look like they don't chat s*** about people I swear this show is so rigged."
A third went on to say: "This is actually rigged how have they made MEG look like a saint."
Someone else said: "This show is rigged. I've wasted weeks for this?"
"WHY are the producers making Shakira and Toni look SO bad and not showing Helena and Meg saying a load of s***? RIGGED," ranted another before another chimed in to write: "Helena and Mug have said worse things!! This game is rigged."
