ITV Love Island bosses deny Jacques O'Neill was removed from villa for mocking deaf Tasha Ghouri

Love Island bosses have been forced to deny online rumours that former contestant Jacques O'Neill was removed from the villa for bullying Tasha Ghouri.

ITV bosses have denied the unsubstantiated allegations after a series of text messages circulated, supposedly from someone who met a Love Island producer at a party. The texts claimed that Jacques, 23, was removed from the villa for misogynistic behaviour and doing an impression of Tasha, who is deaf.

The texts soon went viral on Twitter and began picking up traction, forcing Love Island bosses to squash the claims. According to Metro.co.uk, ITV said the claims are completely false.
