Love Island's Samie Elishi has taken to social media to reveal she was kicked out of the final Aftersun episode after flying to Mallorca to watch it. The drama at Love Island Aftersun was happening off-screen rather than on-screen, as Samie Elishi and the partners of the panelists were escorted off set.
What Happened at the Aftersun Final?
Ahead of the Love Island final, Samie flew to Mallorca to support boyfriend Tyrique Hyde and watch the last Aftersun episode live in the audience. However, the evening took an unexpected turn when Samie, Shakira Khan's boyfriend Harry Cooksley, and Joe Bagg's boyfriend Kaine Ruddach were told to leave the set. All three are partners of the panelists.
In a viral TikTok video captioned “spend the day with us Mallorca ♀️”, Samie was seen getting ready at a holding villa and arriving to set. But she soon shared that things took a “turn for the worse” and she was escorted out.
Samie's Account of the Incident
“We got told that we weren't actually allowed to watch the show. Before everyone starts asking in the comments 'why', we don't know why there was no explanation,” Samie said in the video. “The three of us did actually have seats in the audience but they just got taken away, and then we got escorted back to the holding villa.”
Back at the holding villa, Samie was able to get the show up on her phone. She continued: “God knows how I managed it but I got the show up on my phone, found a place with actually good signal and we all watched from my phone on a tripod.” Although Samie explained that “it wasn't quite” how they expected to spend their evening, she gushed: “Ty did amazing as always.”
Other Partners Also Escorted
Shakira's boyfriend Harry was also escorted from the filming of Love Island Aftersun. In a TikTok video, he laughed to the camera and said: “And now we're being escorted away from the villa.” The next video showed the group crowded around a table watching the live Aftersun on a phone on a tripod.
Why Were They Escorted?
It remains unclear why they were escorted away from the set. Notably, only the partners of the panelists were removed. The final Aftersun was filmed in Mallorca while all previous episodes had been filmed in the UK. Samie's revelation has sparked curiosity and speculation among fans, but no official explanation has been provided by the show's producers.
The incident adds to the off-screen drama of this season, which has seen various controversies and surprises. Love Island continues to captivate audiences, but for Samie and the other partners, the experience was a memorable one for all the wrong reasons.
