Love Island crew slam 2023 finalists and accuse them of stealing
Crew members working on this year's Love Island have hit out at the finalists, accusing them of stealing booze and walking around with 'bad attitudes', it has been reported.
Tonight Whitney Adebayo and Lochan Nowack, both 25, Tyrique Hyde, 24, and Ella Thomas, 23, Zach Noble, 25, and Molly Marsh, 24, and Sammy Root and Jess Harding, both 22, will battle it out to be crowned this year's winners.
But their behaviour has apparently cast a shadow over the finale, with staff said to be counting down the hours until the series comes to a close. They have been accused of grabbing alcohol that doesn't belong to them, while winding up workers on the show in the past few days with their “entitled antics”.
ITV responded by saying the Islanders have been "fantastic" this year. But show sources say crew have struggled in the latter stages of the show and are looking forward to heading home.

"One of them was even accused of stealing alcohol and it’s all become a bit silly. It’s like they know the end is in sight so they can do as they please,” the source went on.
Responding to the claims, ITV said in a statement: "All of our Islanders this year have been fantastic and we thank them all for sharing their relationships and their emotions and providing us with a great series. Our focus is on the final and celebrating love."

It could be a tough final, with two couples leading the way.
According to our poll, Mirror readers are split when it comes to who will win. Tyrique and Ella came out on top with 31 per cent of the votes with Whitney and Lochan close behind, backed by over a quarter of the thousands who responded.
Sammy and Jess will finish third if this is anything to go by with 18 per cent, with Zach and Molly left on 14 per cent. A further 10 per cent said they didn't want any of them to win.
Betting site Coral has revealed the latest predictions for the winning couple ahead of the finale and Whitney and Lochan are favourites with odds at 1-2. In second place sits Ella and Tyrique with odds of 11-4, while Jess and Sammy can be backed at 4-1.
John Hill from Coral said: “Our betting suggests Lochan and Whitney are on course for Love Island success in this evening’s final. They topped the betting not long after being coupled together and it has largely been one-way traffic for them in our market. Zachariah and Molly are most likely to be the first couple eliminated in tonight’s final according to our odds.”
