Love Island fans demand change as they fume brutal twist was 'for nothing'
It's safe to say many Love Island fans wanted a change to the show, after a brutal dumping the day before.
But it was the actions of some Islanders in particular that left viewers fuming, suggesting a twist "had been for nothing". On Tuesday night we saw fan favourite Sophie Lee axed from the show.
Her partner Harry had been stolen by Shakira, leaving her single and dropped from the villa. But in the latest episode on Wednesday we saw hints that both Harry and Shakira were interested in others.
Not only did Shakira hear out Ben, but a teaser revealed scenes with Blu. Then there was Harry who was keen to get to know Helena, leaving fans convinced both Harry and Shakira would not stay together.
This would mean, according to viewers, poor Sophie went home for nothing. She only left because Shakira chosen Harry, and now it seems she might not even want to stay with him.
Viewers raced to X over the scenes calling out the dumping twist, saying the wrong person left. They also claimed the twist was "for nothing" and Sophie didn't even need to leave.
One fan said: "Shakira is not feeling Harry, Sophie went home for nothing." Another fan said: "Producers were wrong for dumping Sophie idc," as a third posted: "So what was the point of sending Sophie home if you will end up kissing Blu?"
Another post said: "So Shakira chose Harry who actually likes Helena, but Shakira then kisses Blu anyway, so Sophie left for nothing?" A further fan wrote: "So basically Sophie went for no reason at all...."
It comes as viewers confessed they think they already know which former Love Island star is set to enter the famous second villa, Casa Amor. Some viewers are now convinced Sophie's time on the show isn't over. With a recent series seeing a dumped girl return to the villa for Casa Amor, viewers are now speculating Sophie will be back on the show in a matter of weeks, as a bombshell in the second villa.
Taking to X, fans guessed the twist would happen with one fan writing: "I reckon Sophie will re-enter the villa as a bombshell by the end of next week at the latest or she will re-enter in Casa Amor." Another said: "Dw Sophie you'll be back in 4 weeks for Casa Amor."
A third viewer begged: "Nah bring Sophie back for Casa Amor she deserves a chance." A fourth fan agreed: "Bring her back for casa amor!!" as a fifth viewer posted: "Gutted for her and bring back Sophie as a bombshell or Casa Amor."
The comments kept on coming with one reading: "They better bring Sophie back as a Casa bombshell. Justice for Sophie." Another said: "BRING SOPHIE BACK FOR CASA AMOR!"
It comes after Sophie was axed from the show in the latest episode. Despite not initially being at risk of an early exit, the motivational speaker and author was abruptly booted out of the villa after her man Harry was chosen by newly single Shakira.

Adam Collard breaks down in tears as he bravely speaks about fianceé Laura Woods' tragic miscarriage on Celeb SAS
Adam Collard broke down into tears as he spoke about his fianceé Laura Woods ' miscarriage on Sunday's episode of Celeb SAS. The former Love Island star, 29, is engaged to TNT Sports presenter Laura, 38, and the pair share son Leo together. Adam and Laura began dating in 2023 after he DM'd her over a funny meme shared on her Instagram Story, and not long after the pair sadly suffered from a tragic miscarriage when Laura was 11 weeks pregnant. Speaking about the difficult time on the Channel 4 reality show, Adam was left in floods of tears as bravely opened up about a difficult few months in his life. An emotional Adam told Special Forces he was diagnosed with depression following the sad loss. Recalling the moment, he said: 'One of them was with my erm lost it was really close to getting there a second time and telling everyone.' Speaking about the difficult time on the Channel 4 reality show, Adam was left in floods of tears as bravely opened up about a difficult few months in his life As Adam struggled to get his words out, the Special Forces team clarify he is talking about the miscarriage. He continued: 'I think I was proud of the fact that I was excited for it, which I didn't think I ever would be. 'And when it got taken away, and it was 10 times worse for her, I think it hit us like a tonne of bricks. 'We just really, really went to a bit of a bad place. And to be honest, in front of her I pretended I was cool, and pretended I was absolutely fine.' Adam later shed tears again as the recruits were asked to write 'death letters' to their loved ones. Reading out his heartfelt speech to Laura, he stated: 'The last few months have been really tough, but nowhere near as tough as you. 'We lost a baby recently.' He then started to sob, as his upset co-stars tried to comfort him. Adam added: 'I wish I had one more night to give you the world's biggest cuddle. Love you always, Adam.' Reading out his heartfelt speech to Laura, he stated: 'The last few months have been really tough, but nowhere near as tough as you.' Taking to X after the show aired, people praised Adam for being so 'raw and honest' In a piece to camera, Adam praised Laura, saying: 'I'd say I'm pretty closed off as a person and she definitely helped me to open up.' Taking to X after the show aired, people praised Adam for being so 'raw and honest'. Comments included: 'New found respect for after #SASWhoDaresWins tonight. Such raw and honest emotion and so pleased things have worked out for him.'; 'Love Island were happy to portray him in a negative way Women's Aid were happy to slate him on watching 1 hour of a manipulated reality TV show But no one realises the person behind the criticism. That took real strength from Adam Collard can't have been easy to speak about something like that man #SASWhoDaresWins'; 'So difficult for men to feel able to talk about their feelings. Fair play to him for doing so.' Laura and Adam began dating in October 2023 and announced that they were expecting their first child in 2024 and their son Leo was born in January 2025. Their relationship came a year after Adam famously returned to Love Island in 2022 in a bid to meet his dream woman. He previously caused chaos on the show in 2018 when he coupled up with four different women - Kendall, Rosie, Zara, and Darylle. While he ultimately went on to have a relationship with the now Strictly Come Dancing star Zara McDermott, they split after seven months together. In 2022, he once again found himself a girlfriend on the show, Paige Thorne, but their romance was short-lived and they quickly split after leaving the show. Paige later accused Adam of cheating and he admitted that he used her to enjoy a longer stint on Love Island, stating he 'completely chose the right person to stay on the show'. Adam went on to date Kate Moss's sister Lottie Moss after they were set up on Celebs Go Dating, but the romance ended after a month. This was reportedly the result of Adam sleeping with another woman after he had been intimate with Lottie. She said at the time: 'I hope he finds happiness – deep down in that cold shell of a soul.' Adam's relationship with Laura has been much more successful from the get-go, with the former reality star describing the presenter as 'the one'. Explaining his reasons for joining the SAS cast, he said: 'On a personal level, I wanted to test myself mentally.

Prince William or Harry, who would you choose as the godfather?
Who didn't shrivel a little bit inside and think, 'Oh God, Poor Them' when they read that the Duke and Duchess of Westminster have been losing sleep over whether or not they can ask Prince William and Harry to be godparents to their firstborn child Cosima. It's not often that we can imagine what it's like being the Duke and Duchess lying in the marital bed at Eaton Hall, gazing up at the four poster canopy, but now we have a pretty accurate idea, right down to the bottle of Gaviscon on his bedside table, the intermittent heavy sighing and a lot of sentences whispered in the dark beginning: 'OK, let's not panic…'. I mean, where to begin? Even if the brothers weren't estranged and guaranteed to cause a bone chilling, side eye frost up at the font (this isn't like a society wedding when you could put one of them on a table in the north end of the marquee and the other one in the deep south and they need never meet) this would be a very testing moment for the Westminsters. In normal civilian circs couples get to the point of tearing their hair out deciding who is and isn't going to make the cut, even if it's a fontless, low-profile situation with barely a ceremony. The Westminsters are experiencing the horror of being a parent obliged to publicly choose the most important people in their lives — two of whom are extremely high-profile warring royalty — and their first problem is they probably can't have both. There are a limited number of these godparenting gongs to hand out (who knows what the decent number is for aristos but Prince George has seven godparents, which is probably a good gauge) which means the heir and the spare is almost certainly one Windsor too many. So how to choose which? Naturally Cosima's parents will want the brother who means the most to them, to reward their loyalty, acknowledge their suitability (because they're lovely to be around/great with kids/the future king) and then there are the pragmatic considerations. Is there any point having a godparent who won't ever be in the UK on account of his security issues and all his old friends' wives being very much not up for sharing hairdressers with Meghan? Is it a wise move when the brothers are on non-speaks, their mutual friends are more or less (minus a van Straubenzee) on William's side, therefore not speaking to Harry, and pretty much everyone apart from Princess Eugenie is in cold-shoulder mode. Choosing Harry as a godparent instead of William would at this point be a bit like picking Elon Musk when you could have Elton John. (They won't be asking Elton, that's one easy decision, and presumably Elton is closed for business now anyway because he has ten godchildren including Brooklyn and Romeo Beckham and Liz Hurley's son Damian.) The Westminsters will be asking themselves what will Harry be able to bring to the party as a godparent that William can't? Hmmm. Juggling and impersonations for sure, but on Zoom… not quite the same. Would have said cocktail-making classes down the line, but that's no longer guaranteed. Hands-on Africa experience trips. Again, less likely than they were. • Kate is downsizing — and living life on her own terms now On the other hand it's well known that a small part of choosing godparents is locking them in for the future. It's saying, 'We will be seeing each other in 30 years' time for better for worse, for richer for poorer and you'll be at my kid's wedding.' It's like marrying your friends in a small way and reminding them that they've made a vow of constancy and you'll be holding them to it. Maybe hooking in Harry at this point is the sensible and forward-thinking move. An insurance against things getting any worse on the royal family division front. An act of selfless peace making. Maybe not. Maybe they could send Harry a note asking if he minded being a gent and passing on this one and being godparent to the next one, perhaps adding that with any luck that one will be a boy and Harry can teach him polo. (The Westminsters have another problem if they're playing this by the book, and they probably are, besides too many applicants for too few positions, which is the rule of requiring more female godparents for girls and more males for boys — or at least an even split. All Damian Hurley's godparents are male but then Liz was making up for an absence of a father figure at the time. Two Windsors might just tip the male balance and force them to leave off a vital future Anna Wintour.) Last, but very much not least, on the list of headaches for the new parents: who else might they upset when they finally lay out their top team. There's the current King and Queen — they probably wouldn't mind either way if they picked Harry over William — they seem to be over it all and just desperate to be left to get on with the job. There's the future King and Queen — they probably would mind and think come on Hugh who's going to be there for you and who can get you into the royal box at Wimbledon and who wrote Spare? Poor Westminsters.
