LOVE Island’s Lucie Donlan has not quit the villa after fans speculated she had walked ahead of tonight’s dumping.

Viewers questioned if the surfer had left the show following a difficult few days but TV insiders have revealed she is still there for tonight’s showdown.

On tonight’s show viewers will find out who has been dumped from the island after the other Islanders judged Anton Danyluk and Elma Pazar, and Joe Garrat and Lucie Donlan, as the least compatible in the villa.

One person in each of the couples will get the boot this evening but fans were concerned Lucie might have already left.

Taking to Twitter to discuss it, a fan wrote: “I’m not surprised Lucie left love island. Poor girl was just being bullied.”

While someone else tweeted: “No!!! Please say its a joke and lucie hasn’t really left love island she was the most down to earth girl in there #loveisland.”

And Love Island superfan Jake Quickenden asked: “Has Lucie actually left or is it BS #loveisland.”

Over the last few days Lucie has been left in tears after sandwich maker Joe told her to stay away from other boys in the reality show, prompting Women’s Aid to speak out about his “abusive behaviour”.

Fans of the ITV2 show have also suggested that Lucie is being bullied by her female co-stars for not wanting to spend time with them.

More than 300 complaints have been made to TV watchdog Ofcom in recent days relating to how Lucie has been treated by other islanders in the show, hosted by Caroline Flack.

ITV have said it provided psychological support to Love Island stars who appear upset.

An ITV spokesman said: “We take the emotional well-being of all the islanders extremely seriously.

“We have dedicated welfare producers and psychological support on hand at all times who monitor and regularly speak to all of the islanders in private and off camera, especially if someone appears to be upset. All the Islanders are therefore fully supported by the professionals on site and by their friends in the villa.

“This means islanders are always able to reach out and talk to someone if they feel the need. We will of course continue to monitor all of our islanders in line with our robust protocols.

“Love Island holds a mirror up to relationships and all the different dynamics that go with them.”
