FUMING Love Island fans beg producers to step in and AXE 'disgusting' star from villa after Maya Jama calls out nasty comment
LOVE Island fans have demanded ITV bosses step in after one Islander was slammed for making a 'disgusting' comment – with Maya Jama stepping in to call him out live on screen.
The 30-year-old host wasn't having any of it during last night's tense episode as Ben Holborough made a savage dig at Toni Laites that left viewers stunned – and demanding he be kicked out of the villa.

Tensions were already sky high as Harrison Solomon came back hand-in-hand with bombshell Lauren Wood, despite being coupled up with Toni before Casa.
When Maya turned to Toni, 24, for her reaction, she took the high road, saying: "Tommy obviously surprised me, the rest of them not so much.'
But Ben couldn't help himself, cutting in to say: 'I think I've got to give it to Harrison – what Lauren's been able to give him in three days, you haven't been able to do in two or three weeks.'
Toni shot back: 'Save it, b****.'

And Maya quickly stepped in, telling Ben: 'I didn't really like that, Ben. That was unnecessary.'
Fans at home couldn't believe what they'd heard – and took to X (formerly Twitter) to vent their fury.
'get ben out the VILLA now why is he always opening his mouth????,' fumed one fan.
'ben's comment towards toni was so nasty idc how 'funny' people think he is- the way he speaks to women is disgusting and i'm glad maya called him out,' said another.

'The sooner Harry, Ben and Helena are out of that villa the better,' added a third.
Even fellow Islander Shakira Khan jumped in to defend Toni, firing:
'There's two brain cells up there, I swear.'
Maya also called out Helena Ford for laughing along with Harry Cooksley as footage aired of his flirty Casa antics.

She told Helena: 'I don't know… I probably wouldn't find that funny if I was in a couple with someone like that.
'You laugh quite a lot when he's been doing things. Is that to avoid upset or are you genuinely not bothered?'
Helena replied: 'It's not that I'm not bothered, I'm just not surprised.'
Harry tried to defend himself – again – saying: 'If I wanted to come back with Rheo I'd have coupled up with her…'

But Maya wasn't having it. 'It doesn't exclude everything that happened,' she snapped.
Love Island fans are now begging producers to take action against Ben, calling his comments 'nasty', 'vile' and 'completely out of order'.
'What exactly did Harry say that Conor agrees with???? Get him out omg I hate him. Harry, Dejon, Harrison, Ben and Conor get out now,' raged another viewer.
Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.

Love Island reveals the show's iconic baby challenge will RETURN as the final couples get an early glimpse at parenthood
Love Island's iconic baby challenge is set to return, as this year's remaining couples get an eye-opening early glimpse at parenthood in Thursday's show. The segment had been a fixture of series past as couples were tasked with looking after some adorable new arrivals, with mixed results. And in a teaser at the end of Wednesday's episode, it was revealed the babies would once again be heading back into the villa. For some couples it will no doubt be a rude awakening, with many yet to even declare themselves exclusive. But for others, it could bring them closer together, as they get a glimpse at what their future could be when they leave the villa in a matter of days. The baby challenge had previously sparked a string of viral moments, including the naming of Chris Hughes and Olivia Attwood 's child Cash Hughes, or Molly-Mae Hague 's incredulous reaction to her boyfriend Tommy Fury 's hilarious treatment of their bundle of joy. Elsewhere in Wednesday's episode, the girls proved the divide was still well and truly in place. Called the biggest divide in the show's history, the entire series has centred around the ongoing feud between the two groups of girls: Shakira, Toni and Yas versus Meg and Helena. The Islanders continued to take part in the tense Couple Goals challenge - but when the Islanders were asked 'Which couple are you most scared to give your honest opinion on?' shockwaves were sent through the Villa. Shakira and Harry chose Meg and Dejon, which did not go down well. 'I think if people were honest in the first place and told us to our faces instead of saying it constantly behind our back, it would be a different story,' Meg raged. Shakira responded: 'You throwing around the fake word is rich to be honest. I don't know why you keep acting like we're the best of mates in here. 'From day one, you were very standoffish with any girl that was posed as a threat.' 'I think you've called every single person in this Villa fake,' Meg bit back, to which Shakira said: 'No, I will never pretend to be your mate.' But for others, it could bring them closer together, as they get a glimpse at what their future could be when they leave the villa in a matter of days Meg interrupted 'You won't be my friend on the outside' before Shakira said: 'I will never speak to you on the outside. I honestly can't stand you sometimes.' But that wasn't all because when it comes to Meg and Dejon's turn to answer, both Meg and Blu become embroiled in a back and forth with Toni before Blu brands Toni a 'pick-me girl'. The chaos came just two episodes after Toni brought the girls around the firepit to try and bridge the divide and call a truce. But recent scenes have shown the divide is as strong as ever. Viewers said: 'The divide is actually insane… i'm sat here raging at my TV screen,'; 'I've watched love island since Series 1 and this series is hands down the most uncomfortable to watch. This girl divide is f****n awful. The smart ass comments thrown about, the sly digs, the ganging up on 1 girl…it's actually draining,'; 'The Great Villa Divide of 2025 is alive and well,'; 'I've never seen THIS strong of a divide in the villa before,'; 'so funny they had a whole convo about no more divide and now it's like even worse AHAHAHAH,'; 'So much for Tonie and Meg wanting to squash the divide between the girls .. It's gone further apart since their girls intervention the other night'. While others noted that they had never seen such a 'toxic' series, especially with the finale just days away.

Love Island fans slam 'worst' talent show in villa history as baffling segment sees Helena 'read' while Yasmin shows off her posture
Love Island fans branded Wednesday night's talent show the 'worst' in villa history as the baffling segment saw Helena read while Yasmin showed off her posture. Over the years ITV2 viewers have been treated to classics like Indiyah Polack 's recorder playing, Chris Hughes and Kem Cetinay 's impressive rapping and Millie Court 's piano performance. But it seems this year's Islanders had little to offer with no musical talents on offer for the 'Love Island band.' Taking to the stage for the performance fans saw hula hooping, a magic trick, juggling and Blu hit the deck when his boxing talent took an unfortunate turn. Cach kicked things off as he showed off his dance moves, whilst Yas balanced a book on her head. Helena then delivered a flight-themed roast aimed at her co-stars, but fans were left confused and questioned if her talent was just 'reading from a script.' Giving their verdict on X, fans slammed the lack of talent and shared their disappointment over none of the Islander's being able to play an instrument. They wrote: 'Omg this series has got to be the worst in love island history what kind of talent show is this?'; 'Where is my annual musical talent that inevitably endears me to the islander? 'The final week of love island is when it becomes unbearable to watch, because no I don't want to see Dejon forcing everyone to lift kettle bells in the name of talent'; 'After watching the talent show can see why they are on Love Island...'; 'I don't think we'll be adding to the love island band tonight. Not a single musical talent.'; 'This is a talent show not a career fair'; 'The talent show is the biggest ick known to man'; 'This is the worst talent show of the season.' Earlier in the episode, Love Island viewers were left shocked as the girls proved the divide was still well and truly in place.

Viewers confused as Love Island star makes reference to fan nickname for her and ask ‘how does she know?'
Has this islander been given the download lowdown about fan jokes already? Viewers confused as Love Island star makes reference to fan nickname for her and ask 'how does she know?' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island fans were left baffled on tonight's episode after noticing one of their jokes was already known by an islander. On tonight's episode, the villa held their annual talent show, allowing the remaining contestants to show off their secret skills. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 7 Yasmin showed the gang how to achieve perfect posture Credit: Eroteme 7 The star referred to herself as "AI-generated" leaving some fans to think she knows their joke Credit: Eroteme 7 Yes helped the others learn the secrets behind having a good posture Credit: Eroteme Thinking outside the box, this year the islanders brought everything from magic and plate-spinning to muay thai boxing to the table. However, it was Yas's presentation on achieving perfect posture that truly had fans talking. Taking to the "stage" by the firepit with a chair and a collection of mock books, she aimed to train the others to improve their posture. Before she started, she joked the segment was called: "How to get the perfect AI generated posture." But fans were confused as there's been a long-running joke on the show that the stunning star – who entered as a bombshell on day five of this year's series – was "made by AI". This is in part due to her responses, deadpan way of delivering jokes and also, as she noted, her perfect posture in all situations. In fact, as time has gone on, Yas has even been given the unofficial nickname "YasGPT" by viewers . Her twin sister Zara, who also boasts similar traits, has also been named ZarAI - mocking her sister's sometimes stiff demeanour via skits on her TikTok. But to see the joke play out on screen left viewers baffled – even though Zara appeared in the villa as part of the meet the families day just 24 hours before. "How does Yas know about the AI stuff by the way? Did an islander come in and tell her or something?" asked one fan. Love Island in fix row as Yas lets slip she knows what the public call her and insisted she's not AI generated "but which producer told Yas we're calling her chatgpt and ai ?? how did our joke get into the villa ?" wrote one fan on X. "I'm sorry but how tf do they know that yas looks ai generated?" noted a second unhappy fan, who added "Telling the islanders the outside ppl's opinions of them ruins so much. this is why love island is s**t now" Love Island continues weeknights at 9pm on ITV2. 7 Yas has become centre of a bizarre conspiracy that she's made by AI Credit: Eroteme 7 The star's fellow islanders found the lesson hilarious Credit: Eroteme 7 Naturally classes descended into chaos Credit: Eroteme
