Love Island loophole allowing dumped stars to return as angry fans 'call Ofcom'
Fans of the ITV2 dating show Love Island have discovered a loophole that allows dumped Islanders to be brought back if bosses choose to do so. m Love Island fans have threatened to 'call Ofcom' as they discovered a loophole that could help bosses bring back stars who have been voted off. It comes after the shock revelation that dumped Islanders Megan and Blu would be making their way back to the villa just days before the final, even though Megan was voted off by the public and Blu was dumped by his fellow Islanders. Viewers were outraged to discover a clause in ITV's terms and conditions for the dating show which claimed that producers will be able to bring back a Islander despite the vote. The clause that reads: "The producers of the Programme may in their discretion reintroduce an Islander seen in earlier stages of the competition who was previously evicted. The Programme producers' decision will be final. " And when the clause surfaced on social media, angry viewers weighed in with as they claimed that the government-approved regulatory and competition authority for broadcasting must be informed. One wrote: "Ofcom must hear of this!! Them bringing Megan back despite the reason she was dumped, defies the agreement of the public vote + coming back at this stage, she's almost guaranteed a spot in that final. It's unfair." Another claimed it could spell the end of the progamme, as they said: "Once they start doing it, it's the beginning of the end of the format. Nobody will care who is dumped if they just choose to bring them back." However, another user pointed out that this is not the first time that any of this has happened, as they referenced the fact that Mike Thalassitis and Sam Gowland made a similar sort of comeback in 2017, which, at the time, left then-contestant Olivia Attwood in particular in shock. But in appearing to justify the decision behind the voting clauses, one user said: "Love island barely has a strict format as it is, I don't know what people expect here," whilst another. Another clause explains to viewers that any new sort of voting format can be introduced at any time, insisting: "Throughout the Programme, the Promoter reserves the right to introduce any other votes in a format which will be announced in the Programme including but not limited to a vote by the public for islanders they would like to see coupled up, as indicated in the Programme, the app and/or website. " Just ahead of her return, Megan expressed her anticipation, saying: "I'm excited to go back in, I think I left quite abruptly and I'm going back in for some clarity. It was an easy decision to make. When you can't speak to people for a couple of weeks and have to watch them on telly every night, you want some answers." Megan had just struck up a connection with Conor before being booted out of the villa. She left alongside Remell last month after she was voted as one of the least popular contestants - however, she's back for another chance. After Megan left, Conor connected with a number of Islanders but nothing seemed to work. He brought back Harry's ex Emma from Casa Amor, but things didn't work out. He'd been friends with Shakira from the start - and the two later explored a connection. She then broke things off with Casa Amor's Ty to pursue things with Conor. The news came after Emma and Boris were brutally dumped from the Island. It came after Maya Jama crashed the Love Island festival to deliver the news of the public vote. It was revealed that Yasmin and Toni and Cach and Ty had received the most votes. And on Wednesday night, viewers were left fuming as just one day that another dumping would place .An important decision had to be made as a third star was revealed to be leaving. A vote had revealed the favourite Islanders by fans, and those viewers were not keen on. Yasmin, Ty, Toni and Cach left with a huge decision in their hands. Being the favourites, it was up to them who else left the show, and it was between new bombshell Angel and Billykiss. They understandably found it a tough choice, conflicted over who to pick as they discussed it between them. They did come to a decision in the end though, and ultimately it was Billykiss who was dumped. Angel was saved ahead of the double return to the villa made by Megan and Blu. Viewers watching at home were furious with the latest dumping, with her popular amongst fans of the show. Fans had hoped Billykiss would have stayed in the villa, with many shocked she was even in the bottom. Angel also came as a surprise to some fans given other Islanders that fans are not so keen on. Taking to social media, fans fumed about the exit, with one fan saying: "Billykiss has been done so dirty." Angel also came as a surprise to some fans given other Islanders that fans are not so keen on. Taking to social media, fans fumed about the exit, with one fan saying: "Billykiss has been done so dirty." Another fan said: "Okay, so Billykiss is leaving? Dang!!" as a third viewer posted: "Wait but what has Billykiss done to you guys?" Another viewer said: "I feel so bad for Billykiss."

Love Island fans distracted after latest recoupling as Conor makes bold move
There was a surprise recoupling tonight with one unexpected couple raising eyebrows Love Island fans have been asking the same question after an unexpected twist. Alima and newcomer Ryan became the most recent contestants to be booted from the villa earlier this week after a shocking recoupling twist. The drama unfolded when bombshells Ryan and Billykiss each selected two islanders to accompany them on dates. Ryan opted for Toni and Shakira, whilst Billykiss picked Dejon and Conor, before they made their entrance into the villa ahead of another revelation that caught everyone off guard. The islanders were then asked whether anyone wanted to recouple with the fresh arrivals, reports OK!. Conor decided to pair up with Billykiss, leaving Alima without a partner and subsequently eliminated from the show. Meanwhile, no one stepped forward for Ryan, sealing his exit from the villa as well. Tonight (July 4), saw yet another recoupling - but with an unexpected surprise. The islanders received a message stating: "Islanders, today there will be a recoupling where the boys will choose which girl they'd like to recouple with". As the girls stood around the fire pit awaiting their fate, one boy made a surprise selection, explaining: "I don't really know her as well as I should and I think this is a good opportunity to get to know her fully... I find her attractive and over the last few days she's really changed my opinion of her." Sign up to get the gossip from inside the villa through our free Love Island newsletter Factor 50 Eyebrows were raised when Conor picked Yasmin to recouple with, leaving Giorgio to pair up with Billykiss. And people were quick to have their say as one fan wrote on social media: "Also Conor moving off Billykiss already basically means that Alima went home for NO REASON!". Another was puzzled: "Have I missed something? Since when did Conor and Yasmin like eachother?". One person asked: "Anyone else confused by Connor's decision there????". Another commented: "Have i missed an episode or something? connor and yasmin? #LoveIslandUK #Loveisland". In another coupling, Harry chose Helena. Earlier, Shakira had called it quits with Harry, refusing to be part of a "triangle" involving Helena. She confronted him saying: "You said you've fully ended it with Helena, [and that] there's nothing there with her... Then all of a sudden Meg stands up, who's Helena's best friend, and says that you're telling two different girls two different things. Something's not adding up there." The following day saw Harry and Helena escape to the Hideaway.

A lot of rumblings happening online and there's supposedly 2-3 instances of her using the racial slur. Just curious if Love island is aware?' A person reposted screenshots of Ortega's post. 'Found this on a fp and this should definitely be shared,' they wrote. Premiered on June 3, Love Island USA Season 7 is available for streaming on Peacock.

Love Island fans claim there's ‘been a glitch in the matrix' as ‘AI' beauty Yasmin breaks habit for the first time
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island fans have joked there's a "glitch in the matrix" after they became convinced bombshell Yasmin Pettet is an "AI" show plant. The London-based star - who wiped the entirety of her social media pages ahead of her villa stint - has been at the heart of a shock speculation. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 6 Love Island fans have made a tongue-in-cheek joke about bombshell Yasmin Pettet Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 6 Some viewers have suggested she is an 'AI' producer plant due to her impeccable posture Credit: Eroteme 6 Yet they suggested there was a 'glitch in the matrix' as she slouched back Credit: X/ITV Recently, some ITV2 viewers have claimed the Love Island singleton is an "AI bot" due to her poker-straight posture, glitches on screen and serious expressions. Yet during a recent episode which showed her chatting to Shakira and Toni on the sofas, fans noted a huge change. They captured the moment the commercial banking executive "finally lent back" as she rested on the white chairs. One Love Island regular then joked: "Glitch in the matrix!|" A second put: "Still stiff," as a third mused: "New added features to her software update." One then joked: "She's on holiday mode." Yet others stood up for the late villa arrival and one put: "God forbid a girl has good posture ffs." Another posted: "Tbf she does have very good posture! Wish mine was that good." BIZARRE SUGGESTION The claim gained traction on social media when Yasmin, 24, appeared unusually rigid during the recoupling. Viewers noted that she stood stiffly by the firepit, blinking slowly and barely reacting to the events unfolding around her. Love Island fans claim Ben 'looks like he's being held hostage' after surprise new couple is revealed Clips of Yasmin sitting bolt upright in her bikini during Wednesday night's instalment have added fuel to the theory, with fans describing her as 'glitching' and 'robotic'. One TikTok user posted a video of Yasmin with the caption: 'She genuinely scares me,' while another joked, 'Is Yasmin AI?' on X, formerly Twitter. A third viewer wrote: 'I saw someone say Yasmin is AI and bro she is literally not real.' Someone else joked: "Yasmin is the certified first Love island AI icon," as a fifth chimed in with: "is Yasmin Love Island's first AI contestant?" SHOW PLANT? Show fans previously shared their convinction the commercial banking executive had been planted by producers, ranting, "she CANNOT be real!" Due to her outrageous antics, fans are convinced Yasmin is a Love Island "mole" and has been put in the villa by producers to stir things up. So far she has asked Dejon for a threesome, propositioned Harry, and talked no stop about sex - despite saying she had only slept with two men. Taking to X, one wrote: "I am convinced Yasmin is a producer plant and was told to f**k s**t up. She cannot be real!" Fans also previously branded Yasmin "the real villain" of the villa as they felt she is doing all she can to split up Meg and Dejon. Yasmin has come under fire over her flirty interactions with Dejon, and asking him for a "threesome". 6 Yasmin's posture was at the centre of attention during a recent chat on the sofas Credit: Eroteme 6 The AI rumours started after fans suggested her behaviour was 'glitching' Credit: Eroteme
