Furious Love Island viewers accuse producers of ‘deliberately setting up’ two girls in explosive edit scandal after Grafties fallout — as fan outrage erupts over one-sided footage, hidden comments, and a ‘pushed finale agenda’ - suong

   

LOVE Island fans are raging that producers have unfairly incriminated two Islanders to look like the 'mean girls' - Shakira and Toni.

Viewers have taken to social media to vent their anger over the supposed 'rigged edit' of Shakira and Toni - while Meg and Helena appear to have got off lightly.

Sofa detectives are saying The Grafties was set up against Shakira and Toni when they showed the clip of them bad-mouthing Meg and Helena.

Fans are calling out ITV2 bosses for editing the footage 'in favour' of Meg and Helena - whose most catty moments were not shown.

The official Instagram account for the dating show wrote alongside the toe-curling clip: "Meg reacts to some past comments made from Shakira and Toni."

Hyped up users commented on social media: “Fully set Shakira and Toni up. There was so much they could have shown from Meg and Helena talking about them both."

A second agreed: “Do Helena and Meg have friends or family in production or something because it’s 100% feeling like producers are trying to push for those two couples to be in the final. If either of them win this show it's so fixed because people have wanted them out for weeks now.”

“Funny how Meg and Helena’s comments aren’t shown… so one sided," noted a third.

 

“Whatever agenda producers have against Toni and Shakira, it’s not going to work!" raged another.

"You 100% set Shakira and Toni up then. Why not show what Meg and Helena have been saying?!" inquired a fan.

"Why are the producers doing this? Honestly! Can we make sure to make Toni and Shakira top two. After all it’s public vote based. Unless they lie about that too," accused another.

One fan asked: "Why do they never play what Helena and Meg actually say?"

Love Island rivals finally address bitter villa feud in explosive Grafties as fans slam show over ‘rigged’ edit

"So glad people aren't falling for the producers cheap tricks to make Meg and Helena win," praised another.

This year's edition of the ITV2 dating show has seen a long-running divide between the girls in the villa.

For the most part it has mostly consisted of close pals Toni, Shakira and Yasmin against Meg, Helena, and Megan.

Whilst the feud has been clear to see and has been hinted at many times in the villa, it was only during The Grafties that all six girls were forced to confront the issues head on.

It came as Toni and Shakira collected the award for Best Double Act but fans were quick to slam this decision ahead of the series finale in just over a week's time.

In the scenes, the group saw a video of Toni and Shakira expressing their disdain for Meg after a number of clashes with the star.

They also took issue with Helena and for her close bond with Meg.

As Meg pleaded that she was the same to the pair in front of their face, Toni insisted she was not as the divide was soon addressed.

Yasmin quickly jumped in to insist there had been a "divide" from the start as many of the Islanders appeared to nod in agreement.

Toni stated that the divide came from Meg, Helena and Dejon not being "warm and welcoming" and for going off on their own and leaving others out of their conversations - namely her, Shakira and Yasmin.

 

It's not the first time fans have grumbled at show bosses by claiming the editing is "rigged" to portray Shakira and Toni negatively despite them being the ones who appear to have been isolated by Meg and Helena.

Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
