LOVE Island fans are convinced one show star is a "producer plant" just hours before the show final.
They have claimed the ITV2 show hunk - who is battling it out for the £50k cash prize in tonight's final - "feels off" with a series of behaviour traits.

Now Barnsley-born Ty Isherwood has been put under the spotlight by a variety of eagle-eyed Love Island fans.
The 23-year-old entered proceedings at the Casa Amor stage and coupled up with Shakira, with the pair then being voted the most compatible by the public.
Yet a few days later, after briefly being coupled up with Lauren, he found a spark with Angel when she ranked him as her number one boy.
Despite the duo appearing to go from strength to strength, a portion of fans are hugely sceptical about his place on the show.
One took to Reddit to outline their view that the site engineer has been placed in the villa by show bosses and said: "Okay, hear me out. I genuinely think Ty might be a producer plant.
"Just my POV, but there are too many things that feel off."
They then outlined five reasons why this may be the case and argued: "Starting from Casa — he didn't seem to care much whether he ended up with Helena or Shakira. (Yes, maybe he just wanted to secure a spot, but the indifference felt too flat.).
"When Shakira and Ty did the voting to dump a couple he just agreed with whatever Shakira said.
"Then when Shakira dumped him for Conor, there was zero reaction. He was just suddenly was okay with Lauren."
For the fourth reason, they continued: "Then, just as he's settling with Lauren, boom — Angel enters, and suddenly he dumps Lauren like a formality."

They then wrapped their argument and put: "And through all of this, no real emotional depth, no strong connections, and almost no air time.
"It honestly seems like he's just going with whatever the producers lay out for him. He hasn't actively pursued anyone. No spark, no persuasion — just vibes and scripted transitions.
"I feel like they brought in Angel mostly for Harry — and to stir things up. Ty would have been so cool to re-couple with Helena, especially since they didn't during Casa. Anyone else feel like something's off?"
Fans were quick to respond to the wild claim.
Another replied: "He's just not as attention seeking as other guys. All of them and none of them are producer plants. They are all told what to do by producers."
A third then wrote: "I mean this would align with the fact Ty was on the dry run (where he both met and slept with Lauren before the show).
"You definitely could be going somewhere with this but I'm unsure how much manipulation the producers can realistically do."
COUPLE DOUBT
The claims came after fans already had doubts about how committed Angel was to Ty.
Eyebrows were raised as Ty asked Angel if they could 'go exclusive' – essentially making them boyfriend/girlfriend in all but name – yet her reaction left viewers believing there's doubt in place for Angel.
Throw in their differing lifestyles, and some are thinking that they could already be on the way out.
A Reddit poster explained: 'Hear me out. Angel is a fairly big Instagram influencer, who if you look at her instagram seems to be all about the boujee life.
'Her entire feed is her hanging with super stunning models all with huge followings on yachts in Spain, ski trips in the French Alps, constant trips to Dubai and seems to be living a pretty expensive glamorous life.'
'Ty is a sweetheart but does seem just like a genuine working class guy from a normal background,' they added.
'Absolutely nothing wrong with that, I just find it hard to believe this is the type of guy Angel is genuinely interested in with the lifestyle she projects on Instagram.'
Other fans are convinced the duo had a connection before the show even started, while others were left confused by Ty's kissing technique.
The remaining couples still in the villa and battling it out in the final are: Ty and Angel, Toni and Cach, Shakira and Harry, and Yasmin and Jamie.
Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2.
