Overview
- Ellie and Lorenzo topped a public vote held on June 24 and were awarded the role of villa favourites with the ability to choose one man and one woman for elimination.
- After deliberation on June 25 the pair removed Tommy and Tina from the villa, a decision that produced visible emotion among contestants including Lorenzo and left others upset.
- Bombshell contestant Priya was shown in tears on recent episodes as relationships and trust frayed inside the villa following the eviction and earlier recoupling scenes.
- Viewers reacted strongly on social platforms, with many calling the choice a 'cop out' and arguing that letting islanders pick evictees undercuts the public vote mechanism.
- ITV confirmed Casa Amor will begin on Sunday, June 28 and outlets have published the 12-person bombshell line-up — a twist that will separate couples and test loyalties while intensifying scrutiny of production choices and contestant welfare.
