‘They absolutely HATE them’ — Viewers rage over savage Love Island dumping as awkward, tear‑free send‑off fuels claims of a deep villa divide and a feud far nastier than producers dare show on TV - suong

LAST night’s episode of Love Island saw Dejon Noel-Williams and Meg Moore unceremoniously dumped from the villa, just a day before the final.

The ex-islanders were brought back in to cast their votes and opted to vote them off the show, but not before sharing how they really felt about their relationship.

They were tasked with choosing between Dejon and Meg and Ty Isherwood and Angel Swift as least compatible.

The three safe couples, namely Jamie and Yasmin, Cach and Toni and Harry and Shakira looked on as each former islander shared their thoughts.

Ultimately, Dejon and Meg received the most votes and Maya told them to say their goodbyes and leave for good.

As the pair packed up their belongings, they told the rest of the villa inhabitants how much they loved them.

However, viewers at home insisted their co-stars “hate them” and picked up on the simmering tensions that have occurred between Meg and the girls all series long.

One fan wrote on X: “These people hated Meg and Dejon. Leaving at the semi final and no tears or nothing.”

Another expressed: “That was the least emotional send off ever. Just Harry with the tears lol.”

Somebody else commented: “Meg and Dejon are devastated, the fake smiles. Dejon wants to cry real life tears.”

Yet another joked: “Lol no tears from anyone,” while a fourth said: “The way none of the girls are crying about Meg leaving.”

A fifth added: “The girls listening to Meg’s leaving speech do not look bothered at all.”

A divide between the girls has been mentioned all series long, with Meg appearing to be on one side with Helena Ford and Megan Forte-Clarke, while Shakira Khan, Yasmin Pettet and Toni Laites were on the other side.

The two groups have clashed on multiple occasions, with the ladies on either side being involved in love triangles with the boys.

Viewers recently claimed that the divide started right at the start of the series, just hours after they descended into the villa.

On fan forum platform Reddit, one informed fan noticed that the girls were splitting in the villa all the way back in episode two of the 2025 series.

In a video posted on the platform, Shakira made a new best friend in Toni after her bombshell arrival and the duo gossiped together by the firepit.

This was as Alima Gagigo, Sophie Lee, Megan, Helena, and Meg were all sitting together in a separate part of the villa.

Shakira told the Las Vegas cabana server that she felt like she was judged from the rest of the girls for chatting with so many of the boys so early on.

She remarked: "I'm not joking, getting ready then the vibes felt so off.

"So it's not enough to like pick up on and say something about because it's nothing that is being said, but it's the energy.

Toni replied: "You know everyone is interested in you." Then Shakira stated: "I've been grafting, but I feel like the girls don't appreciate that.

"But equally what's stopping them from doing the same thing? We've all been here [only] a day. Like, I think I have a right to get to know everybody."

In the captions below, fans seemed to concur that this was the moment the villa divide started.

One fan posted: "Yep the twist of Shakira being single and having to graft the boys to stay def started the divide."

While a second added: "I'm no Shakira-Harry fan, but as a guy, it always came across to me that jealousy was a primary motivator in those in the villa that disliked her."
