Love Island’s Fitzy & Lola Drop Bombshell Over Unseen Producer Intervention, Finally Address Julia ‘Bu-l-ly’ Backlash
LOVE Island’s Sean and Lola have revealed the shock moment producers stepped in that viewers didn’t see.
The pair coupled up on day one of the current series of Love Island, but on Sunday night’s episode, they nominated themselves to be sent home from the villa when Lorenzo and Julia were forced to pick between the three couple that had received the fewest votes from viewers.

Lola and Sean had plenty to share on the new episode of Showbiz Fix
Sean and Lola have since flown back to the UK and one of their first ports of call was to The Sun HQ to appear on our weekly show, Showbiz Fix.
The couple had plenty to divulge, including the moment producers stepped in after overhearing them discussing whether to leave the show in the days leading up to their eventual exit.
Sean explained: “We probably talked about it I’d say every day. Like for I’d say for a week and a half probably before it happened, we were talking about it most days saying ‘Oh will we just go today?’
“But it was just kind of getting like we were getting nothing out of it. And I know originally I said the only thing we get from being there is 24 hours together every day.

“Even with the tests or whatever I was sick of the tests. I was like ‘alright we’ve had enough tests we can leave?’”
Obviously producers became aware of these conversations, having got eyes and ears all over the villa, and they did speak to Sean and Lola about it, which viewers never saw.
He said: “Obviously they’d be kind of like ‘Oh no you know, you stay and all this kind of stuff.”
Lola added: “I think we’d sort of made our minds up a little bit.”
Sean and Lola also spoke about the clashes they had with Julia in the villa, which lead to bullying accusations and complaints to Ofcom.
Lola said: “It’s difficult when obviously you can’t fit all of that [what’s been filmed] in there.
“And the stuff that being shown isn’t necessarily like contextually what had happened. So I think in that sense it’s like I don’t want ever to anyone to get hate. I’ve been getting so much hate.
“I do not want her to get hate at all. That’s s***. And I think it’s so unjust for anybody. I’m not just saying this about me.
“I just think it’s there was a lot of things where it maybe looked like I was sort of instigating stuff that I tried so many times to sort of squash it.
She continued: “I never had drama with anyone. I’m not that person. So I think obviously like for me it’s like we both said, let’s just leave it.
“And it was sort of then constantly getting reignited, reignited. And I think that’s when you struggle because it’s just like in some minutes I’m like ‘okay it’s done we’ve finished it’. And then like suddenly it’s been brought back up again and I’m like ‘where is it coming from?’”
Asked if she could understand where fans claiming she was bullying Julia were coming from, she added: “I actually don’t to be fair.
“Obviously I think a lot of context is missing. However I think you ask anybody in there, like whoever comes out they would be able to say that’s not the case.
“For example, when we left Lorenzo was hugging me for like the longest time. He was so upset that we were leaving.
“If I was a bullying especially to him like if I was bullying his like partner in there would he be doing all that? No.
“If that was the case, do we think that I would be getting so much love in there and like everyone absolutely crying? They didn’t want us to go.”
