Love Island star suddenly leaves villa after ITV alerted to a 'situation in his past'

Love Island star suddenly leaves villa after ITV alerted to a 'situation in his past' One of the Casa Amor boys has reportedly been removed from the Love Island villa after ITV was alerted to something that had happened in his past A Love Island newbie has left the villa after ITV bosses was reportedly alerted to "something in his past". Casa Amor model, Gabriel Garland, who viewers will see on tonight's show, is said to have left the series after those behind the scenes discovered reportedly something which was not revealed during the programme's official background checks. The information is said to have only come to light after the Casa Amor line-up was unveiled - though it is not clear what led to his exit. Following the reveal of this year’s bombshells, a number of comments began to surface under the social media post, which questioned ITV’s background checks. One person wrote: “Love Island ain’t good at background checks.” Another added: “Love Island gotta fix up their background checks [sic].” According to The Sun, these comments are connected to model Gabriel, 24, and his sudden departure from the villa. Speaking to The Mirror, ITV confirmed his departure saying: "Gabriel has now left the villa and will not be returning." Although he has left Love Island, viewers are still set to see him in tonight's show as he enters Casa Amor for the first time. Hi exit is said to have occurred during filming of the Casa Amor twist and there are no plans for him to be replaced by a new bombshell. It comes after Love Island was hit by more than 180 complaints in a week earlier this month, after viewers claimed some of the Islanders were behaving badly. The new series of the ITV2 show, filmed under the Spanish sun in Majorca is well underway and predictably packed full of drama. However, some viewers are less than impressed by the class of 2026 and called independent watchdog, Ofcom, to complain, claiming some of the boys were being "misogynistic" in "hard-to-watch" scenes. Fans were left fuming over Tommy's interaction with the girls earlier this month and complained his kiss with Namibia was "forced". In a busy night for the Newcastle-based builder, Tommy snogged Namibia - and Ellie - and even tried to kiss Priya. Viewers complained they felt sorry for Namibia after Tommy pulled her in for a kiss just hours after he'd locked lips with Ellie. However, he wasn't done yet as the Geordie then told the boys he also had his sights set on Priya, and tried to kiss her too. Fans were also unimpressed by Simba after he was rejected by Mica. After suggesting they go to the Hideaway to spend the night together, Simba thought his luck was in. However, after Mica decided it wasn't the right time, Simba fumed: "Now I’m going to look like a f*****g idiot, go talk to Angie and that.” Mica told the girls: “He carried on venting to the rest of the group, saying: 'I’m f***ed now, so f***ed, oh my f***** days.'” Simba was then see marching off to the bedroom as he muttered: “I don’t even know what they want man.” Ofcom reports that the majority of complaints logged in June have been related to alleged misogyny towards the female contestants.
