Love Island viewers complain over 'unfair' axing of star as he speaks out

One Love Island star hit out at the show after he was dropped from the series, with fans showing support for the Islander online - calling his exit "unfair".

Viewers were left fuming in the week, as a surprise double elimination saw Joanna Chimonides and Joe Garratt axed from the show. Joe had only arrived days earlier and was paired up with Arabella Chi, but his recent arrival didn't save him from the elimination process.

The Islanders had been playing a game, deciding whose feelings were one-sided and who were the couple lacking sexual chemistry. However, they were asked who they thought the least compatible couple was and whilst they thought it was a game, host Maya Jama soon arrived to tell them it wasn't and their decision would have a big ramification for the others.

It was then up to the safe Islanders to axe a boy and a girl, with Joanna and Joe sent packing. Joe was clearly fuming with his exit, as noticed by fans who raced to support the Islander, calling it "a joke".

Now, another dumping is looming but new bombshell Adam Maxted has been given immunity from the vote. Seeing this twist, Joe spoke out over his exit and appeared to question why he wasn't awarded the same immunity, given he too was a new arrival and in a new couple.

Commenting under a Love Island Instagram post, he said: "Immunity sounds nice, I wonder what that’s like," with a laughing emoji. But fans shared his annoyance over the new twist, saying it was "unfair" that Joe was not given the same luxury.

With over 3000 likes on the comment, viewers shared their own thoughts calling out the show. One viewer posted: "haha yep you should have received immunity." Another said: "you don’t deserve what they did to you!" as a third wrote: "fr you should’ve been safe."

Fans also began commenting under the post, with one commenting: "So if Adam is immune from the vote as he’s new then why wasn’t Joe?" Another agreed: "God knows, that was unfair," as a third posted: "Why Joe didn’t receive immunity is beyond me??"
