Apparently Ellie was sent into the villa to break up Jack and Dani

The plot thickens.

Love Island’s Ellie Jones has revealed that she was sent into the villa for a very devious reason.

Producers sent her in to try and break up Jack and Dani – the strongest couple on the show.

SCANDAL.

The former contestant had actually dated Jack for a couple of years before Love Island – making her an obvious choice to shake things up.

We all remember when Ellie told Dani about that poster? I’m still cringing tbh.

Ellie spoke to The Sun after she left the villa, and dished all the juicy goss:

“I brought up his poster before going in and producers wanted to get it in during my chat with Dani.

“I’d told them about it as they were asking me if Jack already knew about Dani.

“Everyone thinks he’s in there just because she’s Danny Dyer’s daughter. So I mentioned it.”

“He’s not clever enough to keep up an act and would have slipped up, I do genuinely think he likes Dani. It’s just a touch that she’s Danny’s daughter.”

Well that’s kind of sweet, in a weird way?

Ellie also gave viewers a bit of an insight into how the show is actually produced.

“Producers will tell you when to talk. They will say, ‘Can you and so-and-so have a chat.’ If they want you to add something or word it differently, they might ask you.”

“I’m not very good with speaking, so would often ask to do it again. I had a conversation with Grace and we kept giggling and they told us to stop. But they do let you be as natural as you can.”

Anyway, what I’m taking from this is even Ellie is backing Jack and Dani.

Looking forward to seeing them WIN, tbh.
