Now, former Love Island star Wes Nelson, 21, has addressed why he believes 2019 contestant Sherif Lane, 20, may have been kicked off. The ex finalist was quizzed about Sherif’s mystery exit by Jamie Theakston, 48, and Amanda Holden, 48, on their Heart Radio Breakfast show this morning. Sharing his thoughts, he said: “My best guest would be fighting or arguing with the producers and getting aggressive. That’s zero tolerance if you get aggressive.” Following Sherif’s departure from the show, many viewers speculated he may have been caught sneaking a phone into the villa, but Wes doesn’t believe this could have been possible.

He added: “No, your phone is locked away. They search your bag twice… when you’re there and when you’re in lockdown.
“They do spot checks all the time.”
When quizzed further about why he thinks producers have not yet revealed the reason behind Sherif’s exit, he said: “It’s the same with anything, I think it’s just privacy.
“Last year there was Niall [Aslam] who went home after the first week but they never revealed that, he did.”
News of Sherif’s departure from Love Island emerged yesterday, with a Love Island spokesperson telling Express.co.uk: “After breaking the villa rules, Sherif had conversations with the producers and it was mutually agreed that he would leave the Love Island villa.”
