Love Island fans brand bosses ‘evil’ after shocking twist during Harriett’s exit
LOVE Island fans have furiously hit out as show bosses as they branded them as ‘evil’.
Last night’s edition of the long-running ITV2 dating show saw a shocking twist where Harriett Blackmore and Ronnie Vint were dumped.
This was after Harriett, 24 was engulfed in a furious clash with Jess White, 25.
Jess admitted that she “couldn’t help” the fact that Ronnie previously had feelings for her.
This led to Harriett furiously storming away to the other side of the Love Island villa as she struggled to communicate.
But it was not long before it was revealed the couple received the fewest votes from the public.
The islanders were all gathered round the fire pit as they read text instructions by producers.
Presenter Maya Jama was missing as Jess was the one who received the dramatic text.
The Stockport retail manager was given the responsibility by producers of revealing that Harriett and Vinnie were dumped.
As she read out the instruction, the reality star couldn’t help but smirk as she read out the news to the rest of her co-stars.
Fans took to X – formerly known as Twitter – in their droves as they blasted producers for giving the text to Harriett’s biggest villa rival.
One fan angrily exclaimed: “THE PRODUCERS ARE EVIL FOR MAKING JESS READ THAT TEXT OUT ITV YOU WILL CRUMBLE FOR DUMPING HARRIET.”
Another wrote: “The producers love being messy so when jess got a text I knew it was home time for harriett,” along with a sarcastic GIF of Reah Housewives of Orange County’s Vicki Gunvalson shrugging her shoulders.
“Producers have Jess read the text dumping Ronnie and Harriet was DIABOLICAL and you can tell Jess was trying not to laugh,” noted a third user.
Whilst a fourth commented: “I knew it was Harriet and Ronnie getting dumped as soon as they sent the text to Jess… of course the producers would make her be the one to read it out the savages lol.”
As a fifth posted: “Not Jess smirking after reading the text of Harriet and Ronnie being dumped from the island.”
And a sixth viewer added: “Knew the second Jess’s phone went off it was Ron is and Harriet. Jess couldn’t be happier I’m sure.”
Love Island's biggest Ofcom complaints
Love Island has been hit with thousands of complaints over the years - here are the most moaned about moments
Dani’s tears: in 2018, Ofcom received 2,644 complaints when Dani Dyer was left in floods of tears over Jack Fincham during the Casa Amor. Viewers felt the show had been manipulated to make it appear Jack was going to cheat, when in fact he wasn’t. And poor Dani didn’t learn the truth for days.
Maura fury: Although she later won over the public, Maura Higgins got off to a bad start in 2019. After arriving as a bombshell, she made a beeline for Tommy Fury – who was coupled up with Molly-Mae Hague – and tried to kiss him while straddling him on a daybed. 709 people accused her actions as ‘sexual harassment’.
Faye explodes: The 2021 series of Love Island remains the most complained series about yet. 4,330 complaints were made to Ofcom after Faye Winter received a postcard from Casa Amor, which appeared to show her fella Teddy Soares kissing a bombshell. But a whopping 24,763 complaints flooded in when Faye came face-to-face with Teddy again. Faye’s shocking outburst even sparked a reaction from male domestic abuse charity, ManKind Inititive, who branded her ‘unacceptable’.
Bish bash: The following year, the fallout from Movie Night sparked 3,617 Ofcom complaints. Fans of the show were horrified by Luca Bish’s harsh reaction when Gemma Owen was shown speaking to bombshell Billy Brown.
Muggy Mitch: Almost 1,000 Ofcom complaints flooded in last year in the final week of Love Island. Viewers were unimpressed with Mitchel Taylor’s treatment of Abi Moores and felt he was ‘targeting’ her. Fans even urged Love Island bosses to check on Abi’s ‘mental health and welfare’.
