Love Island viewers were left fuming after show bosses failed to offer an explanation for Sherif Lanre’s removal from the villa.

The 20-year-old was absent from the entirety of Tuesday night’s episode despite a post on his Instagram account claiming he would star.

Sherif reached a ‘mutual agreement’ with show bosses to leave the dating competition after he broke a rule.

On Tuesday, viewers were hoping to find out exactly what had led to his removal, but narrator Iain Stirling simply paraphrased the statement ITV2 had released on Tuesday.

“Earlier today following conversations with producers Sherif left the villa,” he said. “But for the other islanders it’s another day in paradise.”

“One sentence on Sherif’s departure you know #loveisland,” tweeted one fan.

Another asked: “SO WTF HAPPENED WITH SHERIF???? #loveisland.”

A third posted: “So all we gone get is that one short f****** sentence about Sherif and we're supposed to be ok with that?? #loveisland.”

Sherif left the villa after breaking the rules “in a case of poor judgement”.

A spokesperson said in a statement: “After breaking the villa rules Sherif had conversations with the producers and it was mutually agreed that he would leave the Love Island villa.”

Sherif said: “In a case of poor judgement, I broke the villa rules and as a result agreed with the producers that it was best for me to leave the villa.

“I regret that I didn’t conduct myself in the right way and, as a 20 year old guy, it’s something I know I will take on board and learn from. I really enjoyed my time in the villa and look forward to catching up with everyone on the outside.”

It still remains unclear which rule he broke.

A post on Sherif’s Instagram account, which was allegedly being monitored by friends and family during his time in the villa, claimed he would star in tonight’s episode.

The post, which was swiftly deleted, read: “So sadly Sherif has left the villa. But will STILL be appearing on our screens tonight.

“Everyone on endz is BEYOND proud and excited to have him home.”

Sherif was in the Majorcan villa for nine days, in which time he partnered up with pharmacist Anna Vakili.
