The public voted who they thought were the most compatible couple and those who weren't the most compatible, were left at risk of being dumped.
Megan and Conor were the first couple to be axed before the vote reared its ugly head again.
On Sunday night, 18 former Islanders returned to the villa to vote out one couple from the new bottom two, which comprised of Angel & Ty and Meg & Dejon.
Fans quickly noticed the couple's absence and questioned why they did not take part despite still being in Spain and appearing on After Sun.
The Sun can now reveal the real reason why Megan and Conor were absent from casting a vote with the other Islanders.
"They were dumped as part of the public vote that also decided who was in the bottom two couples - so it wouldn't have been fair to let them vote," a source told the The Sun.
"The vote was only for people who had been axed in previous dumpings, not the current one."
When fans noticed the couple's absence during last night's show, one fan said on X: "But why Megan and Conor didn't come back to vote??? They were still in Spain because they were on aftersun."
"Why didn't Conor & Megan vote?" asked another.
"Conor and Megan not being there to vote was tactical move from the producers. They wanted Meg and Dejon to leave," speculated a third.
Love Island fans spot Shakira's 'smug' reaction as Meg and Dejon come under fire - did you?
While a fourth echoed: "I think the producers kinda rigged this though because if Conor and Meg had been given a vote Ty and Angel would more than likely have been dumped."
Megan was an OG Love Island girl before being brutally dumped midway through the series.
But she was brought back as a returning bombshell last month.
When she was axed from the villa the first time around, Megan, who had just started to get to know Conor, said she would wait for him on the outside.

2015 - Despite poor Jess Hayes being Max Morley's second choice on the show, they did win - but they didn't last as a couple. STATUS: Broken up.
But after her exit, Conor continued to get to know several other girls.
Conor first matched with Helena before moving on with Toni, who he claimed was more his type.
Then, he got to know Shakira more after the pair had been close pals.
When Shakira broke the news to Conor that she thought they would be better as friends, Megan made her epic return and the rest was history.
In tonight's final, the remaining couples will go up against one another for a £50K cash prize and the title of Love Island 2025 winners.
The remaining couples are: Toni & Cach; Shakira & Harry; Angel & Ty; and Yasmin & Jamie.

Liam Gallagher makes controversial drug reference as he plays up to the cameras after being caught on film entering a portaloo backstage at Oasis reunion show
Liam Gallagher made sure to play up to the cameras as he was spotted heading into a portaloo toilet backstage at a recent Oasis reunion show at Wembley stadium. The musician, 52, was caught on camera by a sneaky fan as he headed inside, but catching the lens the star made it known he had been seen as he mimed a drug reference. Pointing inside the cubicle he then alluded to taking cocaine before he headed inside. Reposting the video the fan wrote: 'Liam Gallagher knew he was being watched heading into the backstage toilets and of course he does this'. At the height of the band's Britpop career Liam was known for his party lifestyle fuelled by of drinking and drug taking. However the star has left his wild antics behind and now priorities his well being with his 'health trip' seeing him cutting back on booze and stop drug taking. He previously told The Sun: 'You've got to undo all the bad work you've done through f***ing getting off your head and all that. 'It's time to undo it all now and get back to reality. All that stuff that you thought was cool in the early days . . . it's time to get healthy.' 'As you get older, life is precious, do you know what I mean? I'm a pretty happy-go-lucky guy. I love waking up early in the morning.' Meanwhile it was also revealed Liam has been drinking apple cider vinegar on the Oasis tour after vowing to ditch the booze. Before the reunion gigs kicked off, Liam vowed to cut alcohol out his diet to keep his voice in check for the stage. After years of drinking heavily on tour in the nineties, Liam prefers a glass of the soft drink. Liam has previously spoke about his love for apple cider vinegar and honey and how it helps his voice. He said: 'I drink a lot of funky drinks. I have this apple cider vinegar, the one that everyone bangs on about. 'So I have vinegar, some honey and then I have some turmeric, some cayenne pepper, a squirt of lemon, hot water, stir it round and drink it. 'It's really good for when you get a hoarse voice. I've got a thyroid problem – Hashimoto's disease – so I can get a really hoarse voice.' In 2023 Liam revealed that he needed the joints replacing in his hip due to arthritis as a result of a longstanding thyroid problem. He then underwent a major hip operation. Before that in 2017 he was diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease, an autoimmune condition of the thyroid gland. In addition he also suffers with the skin condition psoriasis. Speaking about his hip issues in 2023 he said: 'My hips are f***ed, I've got arthritis, bad. 'I went to get it checked out and my bones are mashed up. The lady was going, 'Oh, you might need a hip operation, a replacement.'' He said at the time he didn't want the operation because of the 'stigma'. 'I think I'd rather just be in pain. Which is ridiculous, obviously. I know that. Just get them fixed. But it's the stigma, saying you've had your hips replaced. What's next?' Taking to social media he penned: 'Morning Rastas so I had my Hip operation last wk all went well and RESPEK to all the doctors n nurses who looked after me Big shout out to the A team for getting us home safe n sound' He told MoJo magazine: 'When the weather's cold, my hips are like snap, crackle and pop. I need warmth. 'I can't sleep at night for the pain. Tossing and turning. So I'm on herbal sleeping tablets and they've saved my life. One of them, seven hours out, no pain, nothing. 'My new thing is Deep Heat. Caked myself in it on the knees and hips, the calves, then into the steam room for as long as I can handle it.' Liam, a keen jogger, was told by doctors to run less to help manage the condition. In the interview he also spoke about his psoriasis, saying he once met a fan who thought he had cocaine in his hair - but it was actually bits of skin from his itchy scalp. He said: 'I've got psoriasis, so I had obviously been scratching it during the day and there were little white bits and s**t. They were taking it out of my hair and putting it on their gums and putting it up their f***ing nose!' Taking to Twitter last February he said of having his hip operation: 'Morning Rastas so I had my Hip operation last wk [week] all went well and RESPEK [respect] to all the doctors n nurses who looked after me Big shout out to the A team for getting us home safe n sound. 'You know who you are and Florence guru I love and adore you Riverdance here I come LG x'.

Dad of 'lifelong fan' who fell to death at Oasis gig pays heartbreaking tribute
Lee Claydon, 45, died after falling from a balcony at one of Oasis's performances at Wembley Stadium - in an emotional tribute, his father described him as a 'lovely, lovely bloke' The father of an Oasis fan who plunged to death at their Wembley Stadium gig has paid a heartbreaking tribute to his "lovely, lovely" son. Lee Claydon, from Bournemouth in Dorset, was pronounced dead on Saturday after sustaining "injuries consistent with a fall". The 45-year-old is thought to have fallen from the upper tier balcony of the stadium during the concert. Lee leaves behind his son, dad, partner, brothers, sisters, nephews and niece. His father Clive Claydon, 75, has now revealed that his son was a "lifelong" fan of the band, and had been excited to see them live along with his brother Aaron, and his niece and nephew. It comes after a mum left a 16-month-old baby home alone to die when she went on holiday. Clive told The Sun: 'He was a lifelong Oasis fan and he was so looking forward to going. Out of all the thousands of people there why's it got to be my son?" He said Lee lived with his partner and son Harry in Bournemouth, and was "lovely, lovely bloke" who "no one could say a bad thing about ever." At the weekend, shocked gig-goers described witnessing the horror moment the dad fell from the balcony during the lively concert. Writing on social media, one parent said her teenage son "saw him falling" but couldn't see the landing, while another woman said she saw the man fall into their block, calling the incident "awful". Claire Collier posted: "It happened about [five] mins before the end of the gig, it was awful... thinking of his family and friends and everyone that witnessed it." Vincent Muylle, who was also at the gig, described the mood inside the venue as "euphoric" until the "very shocking" fall occurred. "He fell, right in front of us," he recounted. Petrina Whiley also spoke of the collective disbelief among those who were in the block the following day, saying: "I think we are all in a state of shock at what happened last night." A GoFundMe page has been set up in the hope that any donations, big or small, will go a long way towards helping his family throughout this awful period. A message on the page reads: "Lee was a loving family man who was a role model to his son Harry and was loved so much by all his family. Lee would have done anything for any of us and he was taken from us far too soon and we will miss him so very much "Lee loved all outdoor activities, one of his favourite hobbies was fishing. He also loved music and his guitar. He also really enjoyed going to watch and support the boys and his nephew at their football games. Amanda and the boys have our full support at this very sad time which is why we would love to be able to help them financially as well as emotionally. "Please help us raise as much funds as we can to take one worry off Amanda and family right now as they are going through any family's worst nightmare." A statement released by the band following the incident said: "We are shocked and saddened to hear of the tragic death of a fan at the show last night. Oasis would like to extend our sincere condolences to the family and friends of the person involved."
