Love Island viewers have called out the show's apparent lack of diversity after All Star islander Kaz Kamwi was unceremoniously dumped from the villa.
Kaz, 29, who first appeared on the programme's seventh season returned for the series' first All Stars iteration, currently airing on ITV2 .
However, she struggled to find a connection in the villa. After three new blonde bombshells entered, a shock recoupling took place on Tuesday night's episode (6 February), which left Kaz single and therefore eliminated from the competition.
In response, some fans have accused the series of racism , claiming that producers made no effort to cast someone who would make a suitable match for her.
"Kaz never stood a chance. They never brought in someone for her. This show couldn't be any more racist," reads one comment.
Others suggested racial dynamics were at play in how Kaz "became a therapist" for other contestants.
Former islander Rachel Finni, who was also on season seven of the show, has been vocal about the show's treatment of its Black contestants over recent years.
