LOVE Island has been thrown into a fresh fix row after fans claimed Joey Essex and Jessy Potts being dumped was a "set up".

Last night's episode of Love Island saw Joey and Jessy leave the villa after their former co-stars returned and voted on which couple to axe ahead of tonight's final.

The likes of Samantha Kenny, Harriett Blackmore, Ronnie Vint and Uma Jammeh arrive in the villa to have their say.

But viewers later took to social media to insist that Joey and Jessy had been set up - insisting that, had it been a public vote, they wouldn't have left.

One wrote: "Producers knew not to make it a straight public vote this show is just so fixed."

Another said: "Said from the start whatever happens I reckon it will be fixed for joey to get booted out just before the final if he gets that far.

"Bbecause it would be unfair to the others for him to win the money, so predictable."

And else commented: "The producers chose the most 'dignified' way of dumping Joey from the villa."

In last night's show it became clear Joey was particularly annoyed by one Islander's reason for dumping him.

After Reuben Collins - who left coupled up with Joey's ex Grace Jackson - nominated him, the former Towie star replied: "I knew the minute he left the villa he was hating anyway.

"It was very obvious what he was going to do."

Reuben replied: "I respect Joey as a man, however I disagree with the way he handles his relationships."

‘Real reason’ behind Joey Essex’s bitter Love Island feud revealed by fans

However Joey wasn't done and hit back: "I mean, honestly, one person’s opinion I’ve never cared about in this villa is this man’s. I think he’s jealous. A very jealous person."

After leaving the villa last night Joey and Jessy appeared on Aftersun - where fans insisted they spotted that moment that 'proves' he's faking his feelings.

Host Maya Jama asked him: "You guys are now exclusive, are you going to move her in like you said you would..Is it Essex time?"

He looked panicked and quickly shut down the idea saying: "Moving in?! We're going back to Essex for sure...umm moving in, we ain't discussed moving in."
