Love Island Criticised Over On-Air Handling Of Sherif Lanre’s Exit

A spokesperson for the show had previously said: “After breaking the villa rules Sherif had conversations with the producers and it was mutually agreed that he would leave the Love Island villa.”

They declined to comment further when approached by HuffPost UK.  

Sherif himself added: “In a case of poor judgement, I broke the villa rules and as a result agreed with the producers that it was best for me to leave the villa.

“I regret that I didn’t conduct myself in the right way and, as a 20 year old guy, it’s something I know I will take on board and learn from.

“I really enjoyed my time in the villa and look forward to catching up with everyone on the outside.”

Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2.
