Love Island's Blu is already back in the UK and ‘demands justice' after savage villa exit

Last night viewers watched the Islanders vote to save new bombshell Shea Mannings over original villa boy Blu, evicting him from the show.

When both lads were left single at the end of Thursday night's recoupling, they were tasked with deciding which one should go home.
Immediately, Shea and Blu stated their intent to stay, meaning the decision went to their co-stars.
Shea won out with more Islanders feeling that Blu had exhausted his options in the villa, while the new arrival had yet to have a proper opportunity to pursue the girls.
This afternoon Blu shared a video from the back of a car after returning to London.
He said: "I want to say it's good to be back, but it isn't. I'd rather be back in Spain, but thank you for all the love and support.
"My time in there was cut short, unfortunately. I didn't find the connection I was hoping for but it's Love Island, you don't know what you're going to expect, especially this year.
"It's been a bit crazy. So looking forward to going back and chilling with friends and family."
He then shared a post from fashion influencer Harvey Jeans that read "Justice for Blu Chegini!!!"
In his exit Q&A, Blu seemingly took one final swipe at Shea as he lifted the lid on his final moments on the show.
He explained: "We asked them [the Islanders] for their point of view as we were both really stubborn in that situation.

"We weren't going to budge, so we had to get them to make the decision.
"I felt like I had a stronger bond with everyone in there, obviously I'd been there a bit longer.
"I was constantly trying to make a connection and exploring everyone.
"I was making moves as quickly as I could, as opposed to Shea who was a bit more laid back."
He went on: "Everyone had their own thoughts.
"But listen, someone's got to go at the end of the day.
"The way it went was better than I thought it would have gone; I had some nice things said about me and that meant a lot to me."
