Love Island fan theory accuses producers of ‘fixing’ results of tonight’s elimination – and here’s why
LOVE Island viewers have accused producers of "fixing" the result of tonight's elimination by getting the Islanders to choose. Furious fans flooded Twitter to theorise that producers were left disappointed by the public vote as Tasha Ghouri and Andrew Le Page were placed in the bottom three couples.
