LOVE Island fans in Ireland have been left fuming that they can’t vote for the show’s Irish stars Maura Higgins and Greg O’Shea.
The pair have become firm favourites on the show and yet fans in the Republic of Ireland still aren’t able to cast their votes.
“So now that there’s two Irish people in the villa can all Irish people PLEASE now be able to vote?” one frustrated fan tweeted.
“Love Island are really giving us Irish rep this year yet we still ain’t allowed vote? Something stinks,” another added.
Only viewers in the UK, Isle of Man and Channel Islands can take part in voting on the app.
This means that people in Northern Ireland cant vote as it’s part of the United Kingdom – but not fans in the Republic of Ireland.
So now that there's 2 Irish people in the villa can all Irish people PLEASE now be able to vote?????

Earlier this week fans spotted Molly-Mae Hague’s snide dig at Maura’s accent after Irish rugby hunk Greg entered the villa
The 28-year-old has kept viewers amused with her thick Irish accent throughout the series, and now she’s been joined in the villa by Greg, 24, from Limerick.
The rugby hunk took Amber Gill, 21, on his first date and Amber was quick to give her friends a debrief once they returned to the garden.
Maura asked her friend: “Do you really like the Irish accent?”
While Amber said she “loved” it, Molly-Mae, 19, piped up: “On a guy it’s different.”
Viewers quickly picked up on the comment, with many seeing it as a dig.
Taking to Twitter, one wrote: “Did Molly just tell Maura the Irish accent is only good if it’s bloke.”
Another tweeted: “You like the Irish accent?!’ ‘It’s different on a boy’ Molly Mae you talk sh** #Loveisland.”
Meanwhile Amber’s date with Greg lead viewers to accuse Michael Griffiths of “playing games” with her by saying he still has feelings for her.
The 27-year-old star, wanted nothing to do with the beautician until he saw her on a date with newbie Greg, 28.

Other viewers insisted he was trying to use the 21-year-old as his “ticket to the final” after his partner Joanna Chimonides got voted out.
On Sunday’s show, hours before Joanna was booted from the island, Amber admitted she was still into Michael – but he knocked her back.
However, in a dramatic U-turn Michael admitted: “Now Joanna has gone it’s given me time to think about things, and I realise I do like Amber.”
