Love Island viewers have branded one contestant’s behaviour as ‘disrespectful’ as they are convinced he has “sealed” his fate ahead of a voting twist.
Earlier episodes this week saw bombshells Caprice, Poppy, and Will leave the villa after a brief stay. Shea was also left saying goodbye after he was left without a partner.
It came after Dejon, Remell, Helena, and Emily’s venture to the sleepover villa where they met four newcomers. They were eventually asked whether they wanted to recouple or stay in their pairs.
Helena was the only contestant who opted for a fresh start, which inadvertently led to Shea’s exit from the main villa. As audiences tuned in tonight (June 26), tensions escalated further.
In attempts to distance himself from Yasmin, Ben revealed to the boys that things weren’t going well, and this soon reached Yasmin. He later admitted to her: “I feel like we went from 0 to 100 real quick and I’m going to be taking a step back.”, reports OK!.

After relaying her conversation with Ben to Toni, Toni said: “Someone needs to give Ben a piece of their mind and you’re the perfect one.”
Stirred by Toni’s words, Yasmin confronted Ben only for the situation to sour quickly. The argument saw Ben tell Yasmin she was “irrelevant” and that “no man wants you in here”.
Yasmin added that Ben “thinks it’s the Ben show and it’s not” and expressed how difficult it was for her to keep her composure by saying “it’s taking everything in me not to snap”, to which Ben responded, “snap then”. He added: “This is amazing content… You’ve just given Love Island loads of content.”
His actions have been widely criticised on social media, with fans branding him “disrespectful” and noting that he had probably “sealed his fate” following the show’s recent voting twist, which requires viewers to cast their vote for their favourite boy and girl at the close of Thursday’s episode.

Someone else said: “Think Ben just sealed his fate lol.”
Another commented: “#Ben, come on! ! You’ll be out next. You’re on #LoveIslandUK. That was too low”, and one more added: “Omg I don’t think a guy has ever been so disrespectful to a girl #LoveIsland” while another stated: “Nah Ben is disrespectful #LoveIsland.”
Someone wrote: “I want Ben OUT he’s so disrespectful it’s insane #LoveIsland” and another echoed “Ben needs to be voted out #LoveIsland!”
