Uh oh.

Love Island fans are calling the show a 'fix' after last night's episode - and it is all because of which couples are at risk of being dumped. In Friday night's episode, the Islanders were told they had to secretly select the least compatible couple. After a lot of deliberation, it was revealed that Maura Higgins and Curtis Pritchard had received two votes; and so did Ovie Soko and India Reynolds. Anton Danyluk and Belle Hassan got one vote, while Tommy Fury and Molly-Mae Hague; and Amber Gill and Greg O'Shea didn't receive any votes.

Many fans had assumed that it would be the two couples who had the most votes that would be vulnerable. However, Iain Stirling announced at the end of the episode that fans now had to pick between the bottom three couples: Anton and Belle, Maura and Curtis, Ovie and India. The results of the public vote - as well as the arrival of the Islanders' family and friends in the villa - will be shown on Sunday night's episode.

But Love Island fans took to Twitter to claim the show was a fix after the announcement that the vote was between the bottom three couples.

Deff a fix. Curtis/Maura 2 votes. Ovie/india 2 votes. Anton/Belle 1 vote. Surely it should just be the couples with most votes that are up, usually the way it goes. So producers know Anton/Belle wont be saved

#LoveIsland So a couple with one vote could be voted out, while two couples with two votes remain, and how quick was molly mae to say anton and belle send the message now, I smell a fix

Anton and belle receive 1 vote, the other two couples receive 2 votes each so how come anton and belle are at risk of getting dumped ? I’m sorry but that doesn’t seem fair to me it should be between the other two ?‍♀️ #fix #loveisland
