Love Island's Helena slammed for resurfaced ‘xenophobic' tweet as fans demand she's kicked out
LOVE Island fans have called for Helena Ford to be axed from the show after discovering a 'xenophobic' seemingly posted by her in 2014.
Helena, 29, is one of this year's Love Island stars and is coupled up with Harry Cooksley after last night's brutal Casa Amor recoupling.

She's already divided viewers with her behaviour in the villa, with fans accusing her of being 'obsessed' with co-star Shakira Khan.
Now angry viewers are demanding that Helena is sent packing over the historic social media post, which takes aim at foreigners.
Other bizarre posts apparently shared by Helena refer to her mum as a 'sl*g' and a 'dog'.
After finding the comments, one fan said: 'Get her out.'
Another raged: 'Oh you're going home.'
Several others tagged the official Love Island account, as well as broadcasting regulator Ofcom.
A source close to Helena said: "These tweets are not reflective of the language Helena would use as a 30 year old woman and she would acknowledge she has done a lot of growing up since what she very naively posted over eight years ago.'
This week fans also begged producers to step in after watching Helena pursue Harry, 30 - despite Shakira, 22, having made a play for him first.
One said: 'I said it from the start, Helena's obsession is not with Harry or Harrison it's with Shakira.
'Even the wearing of Shakira's bikini not once. I actually think @loveisland need to do something now. It's so uncomfortable to watch.'
And someone else added: 'At this point it's blatantly obvious Helena only goes for for the men that are interested in Shakira.'
