Love Island fans are claiming producers stepped in as Dejon made a 'calculated apology' to Yasmin

He said: 'In that moment in time, I just wasn't in the right headspace. And I feel like I denied you that opportunity.'
Yasmin replied: 'For me it was more so in the challenge. You gave me a zero. I would've had more respect if you'd have said something like, 'I didn't kiss her out of respect for Meg and we're exclusive,' but you kind of made out like it was me.'
Dejon tried to defend himself, saying: 'I was just making jokes, I didn't think anyone would take it seriously.'
But Yasmin wasn't having it: 'It sounded like it was on me, that's why it got my back up a little bit.'

Dejon eventually backtracked: 'I was just joking, but if you took it offensively I apologise.'
Yasmin ended the chat with: 'I hope that pasta was good though.'
However, the apology didn't land well with viewers — many of whom felt the moment was staged.
One fan posted on X, formerly Twitter, 'Meg and Dejon is propaganda I am seriously not falling for love island producers x'
Another wrote: 'dejon and harry are terrifying. it's really uncomfortable to watch them be so casually disrespectful and unaware of their behaviour."
And a third added: 'Dejon is very very calculated. Even how he has reflected and used the very things he knows the public voted them down for… Byeeee."

A fourth viewer fumed: 'love island producers - 'even the stupid people are starting to realise dejon isn't a nice guy, let's get him to say sorry and then we will send him on a date straight after, these reform fiat 500 idiots will love it' 'oh and make him mention men's mental health'."
And another simply concluded: 'love island producers can try all they want i will never like dejon and his mug."
Love Island's annual Snogathon created some serious divisions between the Islanders this year.
The lads were blindfolded, wearing headphones, while the girls make their way down the line and smooch each of them in turn.
The boys then rated each snog out of ten, leading to inevitable jealousies erupting.
Yasmin was not only upset over Dejon's feedback, but also Jamie getting handsy with the other girls.
'What the f*** am I watching?' she exclaimed, clearly unimpressed.
Love Island continues tomorrow at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.

Love Island fans accuse Dejon of being a 'game-player' as he takes major step in relationship with Meg in lead-up to final - before 'fake' row in challenge
Love Island fans have accused Dejon Williams of being a 'game-player' after he declared his love for Meg Moore on Tuesday night. The episode saw the Islanders' families and friends enter the Mallorca villa to deliver their verdicts, with Meg's mother and sister having some choice words for Dejon. In awkward scenes, Meg, 25, defended Dejon, 26, as her mother Nathalie and sister Paige warned her about 'letting him away with a lot' before branding him a 'player'. After the tense meeting, Dejon was quick to take things to the next level with Meg, pulling her on to the terrace to declare his love for her. 'Like the feeling comes, even when I think about you, like this feeling in my chest, but saying it has been hard for me because it's such a big thing,' he told her. 'But honestly like, I do I love you,' he added, prompting a smiling Meg to say the all-important three words back before they shared a kiss. After a tense meeting with Meg's family, Dejon was quick to take things to the next level with her, pulling her on to the terrace to declare his love for her However, viewers were less than impressed as they took to X - formerly known as Twitter to claim that the declaration was all part of his plan to win the £50,000 prize. They branded the couple as 'fake' as they claimed it seemed like Dejon had 'studied' previous years of Love Island and had planned the timing for his love declaration. Comments included: 'Dejon has studied love island sooo well WOW I wouldn't be surprised if these two win at this point'; 'Dejon and Meg really going for the ''I love you'' in an attempt to win the £50k... fair'; 'The way Dejon has carefully curated the path he's paved with Meg… In the history of Love Island, I don't think we've ever seen anyone as shamelessly calculated and competitive as him. The funniest part? He thinks we don't see it. No good Dej'; 'Dejon and Meg the fakest of them all. In the history of love island Uk, this is the fakest I've ever seen, especially Dejon'; 'Producers of love island stopppp forcing Megan and Dejon on ussss'; 'Dejon really studied the love island game lol'; 'Dejon is never getting past the game player allegations. He's gotta know how this looks - why is he acting like an AI bot who's watched 100 episodes of love island?' 'Like the feeling comes, even when I think about you, like this feeling in my chest, but saying it has been hard for me because it's such a big thing,' he told her However, viewers were less than impressed as they took to X - formerly known as Twitter to claim that the declaration was all part of his plan to win the £50,000 prize And his fellow Islanders also seemed less than convinced as they received quite the mixed reaction upon telling the group their news. Though the other Islanders all clapped and cheered them, the truth later came out during a challenge, where they had to share their true feelings on other couples. The Islanders repeatedly brought up Dejon and Meg's love declaration as they questioned the timing, before they were voted as the 'fakest' couple. Yasmin Pettet was very vocal after voting for them in the category, recalling how Dejon had repeatedly been caught out for not being truthful about his flirty chats. She claimed: 'I think there's been a lot of times D where you've been caught out on movie nights or saying certain things and downplaying certain situations with other girls that have been in this villa. 'And I think sometimes it can seem like things have been rushed between you two.' Toni Laites also voted for them as 'fake' because they never told her about her ex Harrison Solomon having sex with Lauren Wood despite using their 'friendship' as an excuse after arguments.

Someone who is beautiful on the inside and out, looks after themselves and is healthy CLAIM TO FAME? My dad being an ex-professional footballer. I've met all kinds of famous people through him.

NAME: Megan Moore AGE: 25 FROM: Southampton OCCUPATION: Payroll specialist WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? I'd like to meet someone who is tall, with a nice tan, nice eyes and a nice smile. He needs to have a good fashion sense and a really good, funny personality that I can get on with HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR LOVE LIFE? Bankrupt, right now. But we're going to make sales and get on that corporate ladder and be booming. Profits, profits, profits! NAME: Helena Ford AGE: 29 FROM: London OCCUPATION: Cabin Crew WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?

NAME: Harry Cooksley AGE: 30 FROM: Guildford OCCUPATION: Gold trader, semi-professional footballer and model WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? The girl next door that makes me laugh and can hold eye contact with me. I don't think I'd go for the most obvious girl, I like a real sweet girl. CLAIM TO FAME? I'm the body double for Declan Rice. So when he does a shoot, any body close ups will actually be me. You'll never see my face, but you'll see my shoulder or chest, that kind of thing.

I've lived in three different states and I'm still single. It's time to try something new! I have some British friends and they're pretty charming. I think all Americans love a good accent.

Someone who doesn't take themselves too seriously and has a sense of humour. If they're not bad looking, that's always a plus. I love a boy that's a bit pasty, like Timothé e Chalamet. I don't mind scrawny, or a bit of a 'dad bod'. I'm 5ft1 so any height really. CLAIM TO FAME? Me and my friends made a Derry Girls TikTok for Halloween and it went a bit viral around Brighton.

Love Island fans fume as Harry charms Helena's parents after heartache and is branded a ‘lovable villain'

Helena's parents were full of praise for their daughter and how she'd handled Harry's controversial behaviour. "From my end, it was so genuine and so real," Helena told her mum, Jasmine who replied, "Helena, you're a winner."

But as Helena bonded with her parents, the Islanders watched on as Harry approached them for a chat. "Ah the man himself," Phil said to Harry who responded, "I just wanted to come and say to you both in person - I apologise for a lot of my behaviour towards your daughter."
