Love Island fans are voicing their frustration over the latest bombshell twist, with many calling Ethan's late arrival 'a waste' and demanding format changes. The new male bombshell entered the villa alongside Elicia, but viewers believe he should have been an original islander or sent to Casa Amor.
Ethan and Elicia Enter as Late Bombshells
This evening, Love Island is poised for another explosive twist as yet another dumping looms large. After a public vote, viewers chose Lorenzo and Julia as their preferred couple, while the three pairings with the lowest votes now face elimination. Tonight, the responsibility falls to Julia and Lorenzo to determine which couple gets booted from the ITV villa among Martha and Jordon, Lola and Sean, and Mica and Samraj.
Fortunately for Ethan and Elicia, they remained protected from the public vote due to their status as fresh bombshells. While Ethan has made his attraction to Priya abundantly clear, Elicia seems to have targeted both Aiden and Finley—a development that has reduced beloved islander Ellie to tears.
Fans Demand Ethan as an Original Islander
Several viewers have already voiced their annoyance regarding Priya's rekindled interest in Aiden, particularly given that gorgeous newcomer Ethan has concentrated all his attention on her. Yet this wasn't their sole grievance concerning Ethan's villa stint, as everyone appeared to echo identical sentiments about the fresh bombshell, reports OK!.
Flocking to the comments beneath Love Island's Instagram post featuring the islander, fans shared their opinions on Ethan's belated arrival. 'Now that's a Bombshell,' one viewer declared, while another concurred: 'He's the best looking boy this season...' Multiple comments demanded Ethan should have been an original contestant, with one lamenting: 'Why was this facecard not served at early days man? ? What a shame.'
Calls for Ethan in Casa Amor
'Should've been an OG [shaking my head],' another echoed, as one more concurred: 'Definitely should have come in as an OG or early days.' 'This man is beautiful, WHY was he not in the at the start?' yet another fan lamented, while one perplexed viewer asked: 'Why waste this fine man till the end, as a bombshell??' Others reckoned Ethan should have joined the lads in Casa Amor, with one writing: 'Why not put him in Casa!?'
'Petition to have public vote for who to send to Casa!' one more person exclaimed, before adding: 'Now if they would have send him into Casa!! Baby!!'
What's Next on Love Island
Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX. With tensions rising and eliminations looming, fans are eager to see how Ethan's presence will shake up the villa—even if they wish it had happened sooner.
