Luca Bish has been rumbled by Love Island viewers after microphones picked up him muttering a savage remark to other half Gemma Owen.
After initially being frontrunners with various bookmakers in the opening weeks of the new series, as well as being firm favourites with fans, they have drifted in the odds as the ITY show hurtles towards its finale, with many Love Island followers blaming Luca for the reversal of fortunes, claiming he's given them 'red flags' with his behaviour towards Michael Owen's daughter and his actions in the much talked about Movie Night episodes.
There was clear tension between Luca and Gemma in the aftermath of the Mile High challenge which played out on Tuesday's Love Island, with him left seriously annoyed by the fact she licked Adam Collard's chest during the challenge, with her, in turn, unimpressed with his reaction.

Several attempts to clear the air between the two failed, even after Luca once again told Gemma how much she meant to him, although a comment on how he'd 'expect her to behave' once again set alarm bells ringing for people watching at home.
The end of Tuesday's show brought yet another dumping, as a text summoned the remaining Islanders to the fire pit. But, before the results had even been revealed, Luca muttered something to Gemma that had viewers quickly rewinding their TVs to catch just what was said.
The exact words that came out of his mouth were: "Let's just hope this text does us both a favour," with fans speculating he was hinting he wanted out, having walked out of the villa and removed his mic earlier in the day after a row with Gemma.
Having got clarity on Luca's comment, plenty of Love Island fans flocked to Twitter to have their say. One posted: "I still can’t believe luca said to gemma “Let’s just hope this text does us both a favour” saying he hoped they get kicked. I hope gemma clocks how nasty he is, serious," with another tweeting: "Luca you what mate. She said she wants to be with you and you just said the text might have done you a favour??? WTAF"
