NO BASKET 'Chernobyl levels of toxic' rant Love Island fans as they beg bosses to boot girl out of villa Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island fans have begged bosses to boot one girl out of the villa. Previous episodes of the long-running ITV2 dating show have seen chaos erupt within the villa. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 Some fans think Megan Forte Clarke should be booted out of the villa Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 5 She left Tommy Bradley in tears after a huge row Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 5 She shared multiple snogs with Conor Phillips on the terrace Credit: Shutterstock Editorial The main source of friction on Love Island has focused on the sleepover twist where four islanders were presented with the ultimate test, new bombshells in a secluded area. However, in the main villa, Meghan Forte Clarke, 24, left Tommy Bradley, 22, in tears. This was after she shared two songs with fellow Irish native Conor Phillips, 23, on the terrace. Events culminated in a huge row as Tommy was left fuming over her dalliances with his villa rival. The Sun later revealed that the pair spent a night in The Hideaway - and things got steamy. Now, one fan took to social media forum site Reddit with an essay in a dedicated thread titled 'Meghan's lies are nuts.'. They wrote: "Her whole entire rampage against Harry is about her allegedly being giddy in response to Connor saying he'd pick her in a recoupling and how it wasn't as one sided as she made it out to be to is 1000% the truth "All she had to say was that she took it as a compliment, liked it, and Tommy is still her priority. "But instead she went on a full on rampage about Tommy not trusting her for even having the audacity to consider what Harry what Harry was saying and she decide to berate Tommy and say it's too late. The fan continued: "Her entire justification for treating him how she has is based on such a minuscule situation that she chose to lie about instead. Love Island shock as TWO couples split up and shocked Emily finds out about Conor's kiss with Megan "She's Chernobyl level of Toxic and want to see her come crawling back and him reject her." The fan added: "We don't even know if she's more into Connor. She's just been into the ego boost of Connor pulling her Infront of everyone and him going out of his way to get to know her. "Now Tommy has moved on there's no risky element to her interactions with Connor." "Her crying to Meg (after her basically calling her untrustworthy to Toni which is a whole other thing) is an indication of where this thing will go and it'll be satisfying to watch if it happens." Other fans seemed to completely agree as they took to the comments section below. One fan exclaimed: "A 'Chernobyl level of Toxic' is too funny to me." A second suggested: "She is a red flag but unfortunately red flags make for great tv." "If it was the other way round, we wouldn't be hearing the end of it," noted a third user. While a fourth viewer added: "She has gone way down in my books in the last couple of episodes. I hope Tommy hits it off with someone new." 5 Megan Forte Clarke and Tommy Bradley were a strong couple till recently Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 5 Tommy declared that he did not want to be in a triangle as Conor cracked on with her Credit: Shutterstock Editorial Love Island continues on ITV2 and is available to stream on ITVX.

Love Island fans rage at 'fake' Megan as things get hot in hideaway with Conor
Love Island fans hit out at Megan and Conor's actions as the Irish duo left their current partners to share a night together in the Hideaway following their kiss on the Terrace Love Island fans were left unimpressed as Irish duo Megan and Conor went for a cosy getaway in the hideaway. Despite not being coupled up, the duo are growing closer following a sneaky kiss on the terrace while Conor's partner Emily was away from the villa. After returning, Emily wanted clear the air talks with her man and headed to the Snug for a chat. There, however, he told her about his kiss with Megan. Speaking of his actions, Emily said: "That's quite intense... I thought Megan was more into Tommy to the point where she wouldn't have done that…" And in an honest confession, Conor told her: "My head has been with her [Megan].' Emily replied: "I wouldn't have cared about the kiss…the words 'while you were away my head was with her' pushes me out of the equation.' And later that evening, Conor told Emily that he and Megan will be spending the night together in the Hideaway. Megan and Conor then shared a kiss in and Conor went as far as giving Megan his bracelet. His actions upset fans online, with one user on Twitter /X saying: "Conor didn't care one bit about dumping Emily. She basically did it without him asking." Another fumed: "OMG not Megan and Conor going to the hideaway MINUTES after dumping Emily and Tommy." While speaking to Tommy and Harry and the bathroom, Emily said: "I don't expect anything from him, but from her [Megan], I would've expected more." The next day, Tommy and Emily caught up by the mini Firepit, as he told her: 'I don't know why I've been moving so closed off," before Emily told him: "Now is your time to shine darling." Elsewhere, tensions in the villa have reached an all-time high as not one but two couples split after the fallout from unexpected Sleepover. Yasmin found herself hit with a difficult truth when Ben finally admits that his feelings have cooled. After pulling his partner for a chat, Ben said directly: 'I feel like we went from 0 to 100 real quick and I'm going to be taking a step back.' The timing of Ben's confession is particularly brutal, coming just one night after fans were left speculating about what may have happened between the two under the covers. Yasmin, unaware of his growing doubts, could be blindsided by the sudden change in tone.
