Piers Morgan has been left raging over Sherif Lanre's shock departure from Love Island on Tuesday.

The Good Morning Britain host, 54, took to Twitter shortly after the news broke to stick up for the chef, 20 - claiming that the real reason he was removed was because he was in 'possession of a brain cell.'

'BREAKING: Someone called Sherif has been kicked off the Love Island villa. Unconfirmed reports he was found in possession of a brain cell which was deemed to give him an unfair advantage,' the broadcaster tweeted.

Piers added a promotional Love Island picture of Sherif alongside his tweet to make it clear who he was talking about. 

The host has been long vocal about his disdain for dating show Love Island, and labelled all the contestants 'dimwits' ahead of the show's return this year.

Meanwhile, it's unknown which rules the chef and rugby player broke specifically, but a spokesperson for the programme confirmed his departure to MailOnline.

Sherif broke his silence soon after he left the show, with an apology, admitting he 'didn't conduct himself in the right way.'
