The public voted who they thought were the most compatible couple and those who weren't the most compatible, were left at risk of being dumped.
Megan and Conor were the first couple to be axed before the vote reared its ugly head again.
On Sunday night, 18 former Islanders returned to the villa to vote out one couple from the new bottom two, which comprised of Angel & Ty and Meg & Dejon.
Fans quickly noticed the couple's absence and questioned why they did not take part despite still being in Spain and appearing on After Sun.
The Sun can now reveal the real reason why Megan and Conor were absent from casting a vote with the other Islanders.
"They were dumped as part of the public vote that also decided who was in the bottom two couples - so it wouldn't have been fair to let them vote," a source told the The Sun.
"The vote was only for people who had been axed in previous dumpings, not the current one."
When fans noticed the couple's absence during last night's show, one fan said on X: "But why Megan and Conor didn't come back to vote??? They were still in Spain because they were on aftersun."
"Why didn't Conor & Megan vote?" asked another.
"Conor and Megan not being there to vote was tactical move from the producers. They wanted Meg and Dejon to leave," speculated a third.
Love Island fans spot Shakira's 'smug' reaction as Meg and Dejon come under fire - did you?
While a fourth echoed: "I think the producers kinda rigged this though because if Conor and Meg had been given a vote Ty and Angel would more than likely have been dumped."
Megan was an OG Love Island girl before being brutally dumped midway through the series.
But she was brought back as a returning bombshell last month.
When she was axed from the villa the first time around, Megan, who had just started to get to know Conor, said she would wait for him on the outside.

In tonight's final, the remaining couples will go up against one another for a £50K cash prize and the title of Love Island 2025 winners.
The remaining couples are: Toni & Cach; Shakira & Harry; Angel & Ty; and Yasmin & Jamie.

Love Island's Harry speaks out on ‘breaking Helena's heart' as he reveals their final words – and Shakira won't be happy
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island star Harry Cooksley has spoken out for the first time on breaking Helena Ford's heart after coming second with her love rival Shakira Khan. Harry, 30, found himself going between the two women constantly during his time on the ITV2 show. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 3 Love Island's Harry has opened up on his romance with Helena Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 3 He reached the final with Shakira and came second on the show Credit: Shutterstock Editorial It seemed that he had finally settled with 29-year-old Helena when he asked her to be exclusive but just days later he found himself flirting with Shakira, 22. He soon confessed that his feelings were lingering for Shakira and when Helena decided to leave him for good, he soon found himself back in the arms of Shakira - whom he was first coupled up with. Now, the star has discussed the ups and downs in his romance with Helena and recalled the last conversation they had with each other which is likely to rattle Shakira to the core. Speaking to Amy Hart and Indiyah Polack shortly after coming second on The Morning After podcast, Harry opened up on his Love Island journey. The semi-pro footballer said: "I obviously hurt [Helena's] feelings and I didn't handle things the right way, but at the end of the day, I went after what I wanted. "I'm not in the business of hurting people's feelings, that's not what I was trying to do. I was really trying to move things forward. "I think we were great friends and before she left, she said to me we can still be friends, which is a great thing for me." Harry then continued: "It wasn't, like, there [with Helena]. "I think you feel it and I really tried to work on it and try to do the right things but this [with Shakira] was just so natural." In a very telling moment, Shakira then agreed with show host Amy Hart that Harry was likely influenced by his best mate Dejon to date Helena so that he was going out with someone in Meg's friendship group. Love Islander hits out at 'red flag' finalist The villa girls were famously divided this year and Shakira agreed with Amy's statement that Dejon didn't want Harry to date outside of their little group. Amy also pointed out how Dejon encouraged Harrison to get with Lauren as opposed to Toni, again to keep it in the same circle. In response, Harry said: "Yes, there is some truth to that. "D would naturally want that. As a four [Dejon, Harry, Meg, Helena], we all got on really well. "But I would say it was across the villa - everyone kinda saw me and Helena, apart from Toni and Yas. "Everyone was rooting for us."

Whilst applying her everyday morning skincare routine in the latest episode of Vogue's Beauty Secrets, Bieber revealed she picked up a new favourite facial sunscreen on a recent trip to the capital of France: Isdin's Fotoprotector Fusion Water MAGIC Urban SPF 30. Fotoprotector ISDIN Fusion Water MAGIC Urban SPF 30 £21.30 Shop Offering broad-spectrum protection and blue light filtering, this sunscreen with SPF 30 is formulated with antioxidant-rich ginger root extract to help combat oxidative damage from pollution and screen exposure. It has an ultralight, water-based texture that's oil-free, non-comedogenic, melts into the skin and doesn't irritate the eyes. 'I love sunscreen that's really hydrating and that's going to make your skin glowy. I typically gravitate towards milkier sunscreens, or a really nice tinted sunscreen,' Bieber says in the video. 'I feel like finding the right sunscreen just takes trial and error because one of the things that breaks me out the most is sunscreen.' 'Whenever I go to Paris, or I go to Europe, I love to go to the pharmacy and raid the suncare section because I just think the sunscreens from Europe are so much better than in the US,' she adds. 'They're my favourite. I got this one at the pharmacy when I was in Paris last time and I'm obsessed with it. I wish that I had bought five.' Before she continues with her minimal makeup routine, Bieber applies sunscreen to her hands, a body part many of us forget to shield from the sun. 'When I have leftover [product], I rub it on my hands,' she explains, 'because when you're driving and it's sunny, I just feel like your hands get the brunt of ageing.'
