Love Island viewers fume as fan favourite axed days before final

Daily Mirror23-07-2025
Love Island fans tuning into the latest episode of the ITV2 series were left very annoyed to see a fan favourite dropped from the show, a day on from two others being axed
There was another brutal goodbye on Love Island on Wednesday night, a day after two Islanders were axed.

An important decision had to be made as a third star was revealed to be leaving. A vote had revealed the favourite Islanders by fans, and those viewers were not keen on.

On Tuesday we saw a double elimination as Emma and Boris were sent packing. But it didn't end there, and on Wednesday the fallout saw Yasmin, Ty, Toni and Cach left with a huge decision in their hands.

Being the favourites, it was up to them who else left the show, and it was between new bombshell Angel and Billykiss. They understandably found it a tough choice, conflicted over who to pick as they discussed it between them.
They did come to a decision in the end though, and ultimately it was Billykiss who was dumped. Angel was saved ahead of a double return to the villa by some former Islanders.

Viewers watching at home were furious with the latest dumping, with her popular amongst fans of the show. Fans had hoped Billykiss would have stayed in the villa, with many shocked she was even in the bottom.
Angel also came as a surprise to some fans given other Islanders that fans are not so keen on. Taking to social media, fans fumed about the exit, with one fan saying: "Billykiss has been done so dirty."
Another fan said: "Okay, so Billykiss is leaving? Dang!!" as a third viewer posted: "Wait but what has Billykiss done to you guys?" Another viewer said: "I feel so bad for Billykiss."

The comments kept on coming too with one reading, as a fan slammed the show: "Should have let Billykiss go home with the others. No need to kill her confidence even more than you already have making her walk out alone in such a humiliating way is sick."
Meanwhile one fan believed the show had made it very obvious that Billykiss was going home hours before it even aired. The scenes would have been filmed together before being split across Tuesday and Wednesday's episodes.
One fan noted that the Instagram of the show had asked viewers to vote for Islanders and moments in their awards task. One such nomination saw Angel up for an award for flirtiest performance.
A fan suggested this gave away that Angel was still in the villa.
They said online: "The fact that you can vote for Angel for flirtiest performance makes it extremely obvious it's Billykiss that gets dumped tonight - or what would the point of that be."

Shaughna Phillips reveals why Love Island's top couple won't last – and it makes sense

EXCLUSIVE: Shaughna Phillips, who shot to fame on the 2020 winter series of Love Island, has shared her thoughts on why the most popular couple in the villa won't last on the outside Former Love Island star Shaughna Phillips has insisted that she doesn't see things working out between one of the most popular couples on the ITV2 dating show despite their current chemistry in the villa. ‌ Shaughna, 31, has said that she feels incredibly skeptical about smitten couple Toni Laites and Cach Mercer and doesn't see their romance lasting once the show is over. ‌ The ex Love Island star, who appeared on the winter series back in 2020, told The Mirror: "I felt bad for Toni because I think she did genuinely like Cach originally, but Harrison just threw her head into a spin." It comes after pregnant Shaughna revealed her biggest regret over her romance on the show. ‌ 'She probably acted on it mainly because she had known Harrison for a longer period of time than Cach," she added about Toni. 'She probably went with what felt familiar, and she made an uninformed decision in choosing Harrison - not through her own fault. Cach is this season's Ovie. He is an absolute king, and she did mess up the first time for a boy," Shaughna said. ‌ Despite the fact that Toni and Cach now seem on top of the world now that they are finally rid of all the love triangles, Shaughna has pointed out one major barrier for the couple in the future. 'They seem like they're going well in the villa, but sadly, I think there could be lingering animosity between the pair. I just have this feeling that although Cach hardly ever shows it, there's probably going to be a bit of tension when they get out into the real world," Shaughna said. ‌ 'Logistically as well it doesn't work – she lives in America. It's bad enough for couples who live far apart in the UK when coming out of the Love Island villa, but this is another level," she added to Card Player. Elsewhere, Shaughna has defended Cooksley for going back to Shakira Khan despite making things exclusive with Helena Ford just two days prior. Despite criticism online, Shaughna believes Harry's decision to pick Shakira was from the heart - not a tactical move. ‌ 'Harry is emotionally a donut, but he isn't a gameplayer,' she said. 'If he were being strategic, he would've stayed with Helena. 'If Harry had any chance of winning, it would've been with Helena, so he's messed that up. For him to now pick Shakira shows his genuine feelings, I believe. But wow… he left it late." ‌ 'I would love to say that Shakira should move on and not give Harry another chance, but I am a bit of a wet wipe, and so when I was her age, if I had even the smallest feelings for someone back then, as Shakira has for Harry, even if everyone was telling me they were bad news… if they turned to me and said, 'Let's try,' I'd be like, 'Okay, let's try again.' "So, I feel for Shakira. I think she does genuinely like him, and she was kind of soft-launching it when she said, 'In a perfect world, they'd be together.' I don't think anyone should judge her for that." Love Island continues Sunday at 9PM on ITV2 and ITVX.
