Love Island producers have been accused of sparking fury among their female contestants who were put into Casa Amor.
An insider has claimed that several Islanders signed up to enter the villa with the assumption they would enter the villa as bombshells but were subsequently told they would be thrown into Casa Amor instead.
This allegedly came after a number of contestants expressed their reluctance to join as Casa Amor islanders, who often don’t get as much airtime as the regular bombshells and can be dumped from the villa within days.

A source close to the show told Daily Star: “Many of the girls made it clear to the producers that they had no interest in being part of Casa Amor, as it is widely known that such contestants do not tend to last long on the show, and they are not taken as seriously.”

However, despite their reservations, when it came time for their arrival, the girls were blindsided by the producers’ decision and informed that they would, in fact, be heading into Casa Amor.
“The girls were furious,” the insider claimed.
“Some of them explicitly stated that they would only join the show as bombshells, given the perception surrounding Casa Amor contestants. It’s a matter of credibility and longevity on the show.
