Furious Love Island fans ‘complain to Ofcom’ saying ‘I’m absolutely fuming – what a set up’
LOVE Island fans have slammed the show as a “set-up” and said they’ll be “complaining to Ofcom” after last night’s dramatic recoupling.
Makeup artist Samantha was sent packing after bombshell Grace Jackson stole ex Joey Essex after they rekindled their romance.
But many viewers were furious that Samantha was axed and said she should have been given a second chance.
One wrote: “Sorry but this has been so set up by the producers and Joey. He prob only agreed to come on the show if Grace was brought in at some point.
“That’s why he stuck with Sam for two weeks and never bothered with the other girls, because he’s been waiting on her coming in.”
A second posted: “Justice for Samantha! Time to place an OFCOM report cause wtf! I’m not having it.”
A third said: “They better send Samantha right back in like the LI producers really f***** her over.”
And viewers weren’t alone, as Samantha’s sister Toni has also hit out at last night’s outcome.
Toni shared a touching photo of her and Samantha on her Instagram Stories and wrote: “No comment, shame on you ITV is all I have to say.”
Samantha was left in tears when she said her goodbyes.
Following her departure, Samantha said: “Obviously I am devastated to leave all of the girls behind but I am very excited now to see what my future holds and look forward to seeing what is next.
“I was true to myself and didn’t feel like it was a waste of my time because I followed what I felt was right for me. When it comes to Joey, I think if I knew what I know now, I perhaps would have done things differently.”
Samantha made the mistake of putting all her eggs in one basket even though another lad caught her eye.
“Ronnie’s more my type than Joey was,” she said. “But I feel like Ronnie didn’t pursue anything with me because he didn’t want to go up against Joey.”
