The Love Island finale this year saw some unexpected drama behind the scenes. Following the crowning of Julia Majchrzak and Lorenzo Alessi as winners, several cast members were abruptly escorted out of the villa by security before the live show.

Among those asked to leave were Samie Eilishi and Harry Cooksley, who were looking forward to watching their partners Tyrique Hyde and Shakira Khan film their scenes. Aftersun commentator Joe Baggs’ partner Kaine Ruddach had also flown in for the final but was similarly sent away despite having seats reserved in the audience.

Samie shared her disappointment with fans, recounting how they were excited to be on set for the show, only to be abruptly told they could not watch. Harry also posted a video of their group being escorted away, expressing confusion at the turn of events.

After being escorted back to a nearby villa, Samie managed to stream the final on her phone so they could all watch it together. Despite the unexpected turn of events, they made the best of the situation and enjoyed the finale.

One fan who attended the final and Aftersun taping revealed some behind-the-scenes details, mentioning that the Islanders watch some pre-recorded segments on screens. Security was tight at the villa, with strict checks at the entrance adding to the intrigue of the evening.
