Love Island viewers want two stars out of the villa after the latest recoupling twist saw one Islander dumped.
Joey Essex and Grace Jackson once again came under fire with fans after their treatment towards a co-star, amid speculation their arrivals on the show were staged. After bombshell Grace was revealed to be Joey's ex, the pair claimed they were seeing each other last year but things didn't work out.
After their reunion in the villa in a recent episode, they soon picked up where they left off and have been all over each other. Viewers are convinced the pair faked their break-up, and are actually still together in a set-up.
Joey had been paired up with Samantha Kenny before Grace's arrival, with them seeing how things were going for the first two weeks. As soon as Grace arrived, Joey dropped her and moved on to his ex, all while suggesting Samantha had "pushed him away".
As things escalated on Tuesday night, we saw Samantha dumped from the villa after being left single. Grace picked Joey in the recoupling, and then a text message confirmed Samantha had been axed from the show leaving her and the girls in tears.
Following the twist, and Samantha refusing to speak to either Joey or Grace before she left, fans have called for the new couple to be voted off the show. Some fans were not happy with their actions, and didn't want to see them in the villa anymore.
Others were quick to point out, amid the rumours they were already a couple, that they didn't need to stay on the show as they had rekindled an off-show romance. Taking to X, one fan posted: "Bring her back and dump Joey and Grace."
Another viewer said: "Samantha didn’t deserve that wtf?!??? Joey and Grace should just leave together already since they’re soooo in love." A third fan said: "Let’s get Joey & Grace out next, they’ve found love & that’s what it’s all about."
The comments kept on coming with a fourth reading: "Get Joey and Grace out of the villa NEXT!!!" Another said: "Joey and Grace have no need to stay on the show any longer?? Public vote get them off."
As the Islanders prepared to say goodbye in that moment, Sam headed off to the villa bedroom to pack her things. As Grace tried to talk to her she said: "No offence but I don't wanna hear it." Joey then tried to speak with her, but Samantha shut him down.

She said: "Save it mate, save it. Leave me with the girls. I don't wanna hear it, it's a load of s**t." She then headed out of the villa, without saying goodbye to Joey or Grace or clearing the air.
