Love Island couple brutally dumped from the villa just one day before final as ex-Islanders have their say
Meg and Dejon became the latest couple to be dumped from the Love Island villa during Sunday night's episode after the ex-Islanders had their say. Maya Jama returned to the Majorca mansion for the dramatic scenes as the last days in the villa got well and truly underway. She revealed that couples Angel and Ty, as well as Meg and Dejon, were at risk of being dumped from the villa after receiving the least amount of votes from the public. Addressing the couples, she announced: 'I have some very important news. Can you come and join me on the lawn?' She then continues: 'As you know, last night Megan and Conor were dumped as a result of receiving the least amount of votes for most compatible couple. 'I'm now going to reveal the two other couples who received the fewest votes and are at risk of being dumped from the island.' But in a shock twist, Maya said that the bottom two couples' fate would be decided by their ex-contestants as they returned to the show. Each former contestant then gathered at the fire pit and were asked to share their honest opinions about the remaining couples. Maya continued: 'Today, one more couple will be dumped from the Love Island Villa. And that decision will be made by some very familiar faces. 'Welcome back guys. You must now individually decide which couple is the least compatible. The couple with the most votes will be dumped from the island immediately.' Meg and Dejon received the most votes from the former contestants, who decided that their arguing made them the least compatible. The winning couple will walk away with a cool £50,000 during the live finale on Monday night, with the British public determining who wins. Meanwhile, The Mail on Sunday can reveal the broadcaster will be reviewing the show later this month, with insiders forecasting the winter series and All Stars are facing 'the chop'. Love Island viewers this season have been rocked by the 'abusive' behaviour of the contestants towards one another, leading to 9,000 Ofcom complaints in a week and prompting the TV watchdog to begin an investigation. The charity Women's Aid even waded in by issuing a statement criticising the show as a place where 'women are often lied to, slut-shamed and manipulated'. One insider said: 'ITV is stuck between a rock and a hard place because this sort of behaviour is generating incredible viewing figures, with this series being the most watched since summer 2022 – it's averaging 2.4million viewers. 'ITV also can't be seen to be promoting the values some of these contestants are displaying – it's all getting a bit too much.' Another issue raised by the insider was 'over saturation', with viewing figures dropping since the launch of the winter series in 2020 and the All Stars last year. At its peak in 2019, it attracted 6million viewers a night, falling by a million a year later. And after the All Stars series was introduced in 2024, figures plummeted to an all-time low of 1million for the launch of this series. The insider added: 'The plan is to follow the US formula of one show a year with more vetting of contestants, higher quality and more control, which will mean the winter series and All Stars get the chop.' The majority of complaints were about the 'bullying' of Shakira Khan, 22, with one viewer saying: 'This isn't entertainment, it's emotional neglect.' Jessye Werner, of Women's Aid, said 'more must be done to educate contestants on sexism and misogyny'. And she praised viewers 'who call out these behaviours'.

Why isn't Maura Higgins at the Love Island: A Decade of Love anniversary special? Star's absence explained
Love Island fans, tonight is the night. At 9pm this evening, a group of iconic villa alumni will reunite as part of the 10th anniversary celebrations, and we literally cannot wait. (Sidenote, how has it been a decade already? Feeling old.) Over on ITV2, former contestants are set to look back at some of the show's biggest - and most dramatic - moments, while sharing their own hot takes on the scenes. Hey, Maya Jama did ask for big twists and more drama on the new series, which is also set to air this month, so it looks like she'll be getting what she asked for a little earlier. Theatrics aside, exactly which ex Islanders can we expect to see this evening? And who is set to skip the big event? Because rumour has it, Maura Higgins, one of the show's biggest breakout stars, seems to have lost her invite. Which leads us to our next question... why? First things first, we're not confirming that Maura is going to be a no-show. For all we know, she may surprise us and turn up at the hottest event of the year. After all, she does have a history of arriving late: the 34-year-old rocked up to last year's I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! a few days after everyone else, remember. The reason we're not sure if Maura is on the bill is that we've not seen her on the list of names expected to appear. Rather, the alumni we know are returning include Cara De La Hoyde-Massey and Nathan Massey, series seven champs Millie Court and Liam Reardon, series nine winners Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan, and series eight finalists Indiyah Polack and Dami Hope. Also on the lineup are Gabby Allen, Montana Brown, Dani Dyer, Georgia Steel, Hannah Elizabeth, Whitney Adebayo, Anton Danyluk, and Catherine Agbaje. From her Instagram posts, we also know that Maura is currently soaking up the sun in Mykonos - a long way from the Majorcan villa. She's also not posted anything to the grid about the special, which could also be a hint. But if you want our advice, we suggest tuning in tonight to find out for yourself. We know we will. Love Island: A Decade of Love will air on ITV2 at 9pm tonight.
