Love Island fans spot ‘giveaway clue' that axed villa girl IS returning to Casa Amor
LOVE Island fans are convinced Megan Forte Clarke is set to return for Casa Amor in a major twist. Last week after the public were asked to choose their Advertisement 2 Love Island fans think Megan Forte Clarke is returning for Casa Amor Credit: Eroteme 2 The Irish beauty was brutally dumped after a public vote Credit: Eroteme But now viewers are convinced Irish beauty Megan is set to make an epic comeback - similar to when Molly Marsh returned to Casa in series 10. Some fans have cottoned on that Megan has remained largely silent on social media and has stopped posting. This led fans to speculate that she's already on her way back to Mallorca to join the Casa Amor line-up, which kicks off on Sunday. One fan wrote: "I have a feeling Megan will return for casa, she hasn't been posting on her social stories and she doesn't strike me as a girl to not be posting anything since leaving Advertisement READ MORE ON LOVE ISLAND "It's reminding me heavily of the molly marsh situation, done a couple interviews to prove she's in the UK and now she's in holding again." A second posted: "I'm with it if they do. Immediately brings Tommy and Coner back in the game." A third commented: "Im rooting for this to happen. But I think getting voted least fave girl could be an explanation as to why shes off socials." "I really hope so.. didn't love her but her connection with Conor was probably the only genuine connection in there. Would love to see how that goes plus she brings drama," another added Advertisement Most read in News TV Fans were left unhappy Love Island's Megan blames fellow islanders for her treatment of Tommy as she admits regrets over behaviour The pair Fans turned on her when she appeared to be gleeful when Conor and Tommy rowed over her, even calling it "brilliant".

Speaking to On Demand Entertainment on TikTok, Megan was asked if she would do anything differently, and she said: "I'd taken a breath." Appearing to blame her fellow Islanders for her actions, she said: "But you know when you hear something and you just see red, and I saw red for about four days, and then obviously, while I was seeing red, Connor swooped in, so it was just a really bad time. "And of course you only see the hour out of the 24, so I know I've left things on good terms with Tommy, we obviously didn't have a lot of time on our side. Advertisement "Well, I like to think of time as if the essence, we could have been mates. But no, like, it was fine. When you see red like that, someone needs to sit you down and say, girl."
