Love Island fans are convinced they have caught Priya Jaswal in a 'shameless' slip-up that exposes her true intentions to win this year's series. The moment came during a tense evening following a recoupling that left the Surrey star visibly frustrated.
Last night, the girls were tasked with choosing the boys, leading to an awkward outcome. Bombshell Elicia selected Aidan, Priya's current flame, as her new partner. This cleared the way for newcomer Ethan, who chose Priya, leaving her unhappy with the result.
Priya's Late-Night Chat with Aidan
Later that night, Priya pulled Aidan aside for a conversation to make it clear she still wanted to be with him. Aidan agreed, believing their connection was stronger. However, Priya's explanation revealed a different motive: strategy to bag the prize money.
She told Aidan: "If I could be in the bed with anyone, I would be in a bed with you." Aidan reciprocated, saying: "I'd be the same." Priya continued: "I might be being cocky here but I actually feel like we've literally been in here for 7 weeks and been friends, friends, friends. And then we've naturally, there's no other outside, we've naturally come together."
Aiden replied: "I think it was meant to be but also this is what I'm saying to you, maybe this is just a big test." Priya laughed and asked: "Who do you want to be in the final with baby?" Aiden gasped, confused: "In the final?" proving it had not crossed his mind. Priya clarified: "Who do you want to do the rest of this experience with? That's what you've got to think."
Fan Reactions on Social Media
Fans quickly flagged her 'obvious' plan to steal the Love Island series 13 crown and took to X to express their skepticism. One wrote: "Priya saying 'who you want to be in the final with?' Is one of the worst things I've heard an islander say that's begging it." Another highlighted: "Priya just said the final hahaha she can't hide her intentions. This girl is fake man." A third fumed: "Priya thinking about the finals and doing it with Aiden. Girl you on thin line. Also lower your tone with Julia she's not your problem."
A fourth added: "Priya is getting on my nerves, oh who do you want to be in final with and to enjoy your experience with... you can tell she a love island superfan." A fifth agreed: "Priya already talking about the final… she's not beating the fangirl/game player allegations omg and when I was just rooting for her." A sixth said: "Priya is spiralling because she thinks Aidan is a fan favourite who's going to make the final and she doesn't want to be in the bottom three with Ethan. A shameless game player."
Previous Suspicions from Dumped Islanders
Viewers and some of this year's cast have had their suspicions about Priya since she entered the villa. Dumped co-stars have been vocal about their thoughts. Casa Amor star Carlos Borges alleged she was playing a calculated game and claimed to have evidence. OG Islander Robyn Langton said Priya had signed up for the 'wrong reasons'. Namibia Rosa accused the reality star of being 'frosty, unwelcoming and fake' when she first entered, saying she was on Love Island 'purely for fame'.
Fans will have to wait until the final to see if their suspicions are confirmed, with the end date approaching soon. The Love Island 2026 final is expected to air on ITV2, with the remaining islanders vying for the crown.
