It’s time to end the Casa Amor drama with the finale of Love Island UK season 13, which is expected to premiere on July 27, 2026. With the surreal weeks, many fans saw high-profile bombshells on the show. Whether it was the love triangles or the behavior of the islanders, many viewers did not hesitate to speak their minds. As the final episode approaches, here’s a look back at the controversial moments from ‘Love Island UK Season 13’.
Gabriel Garland – Removed
‘Love Island UK Season 13’ bombshell Gabriel Garland has been kicked out of the popular villa after being named in court documents. The 24-year-old model was involved in a serious incident on New Year’s Eve 2019, where her acquaintance had an altercation with two victims before they were stabbed. Victor Mazzer was found guilty of two counts of causing grievous bodily harm with intent after a party in Casewick Road, London, according to The Sun.“There was an incident that happened at a party that I was at when I was a teenager. Obviously, this incident is not something to be taken lightly and it was very traumatic for everyone involved,” the model said in her July 3, 2026 Instagram video, per Deadline, before adding: “I just wanted to make it clear that the legal judge has not found any criminal findings against me. I left Love Island, which is very disappointing, especially from a personal perspective.“
George Knight – Departures
George Knight, the professional footballer from Winchester, left Casa Amor six days after the opening. Citing the reason as “private family reasons”, the athlete mentioned that he would give priority to those close to him. “Villa was a decision made to be with my family. Out of respect for them, I would prefer not to go into more details,” he wrote on his Instagram. According to The Sun, another reason for his departure was the use of “unacceptable language” in the town. After warning from the manufacturers, they sent him home.
Finley Maddock – Love Triangle
Finley Maddock, the Welsh builder, had a high-profile love triangle with his original partner, Ellie Chadwick, and the bombshell, Elicia Bailey. Despite an affirmative nod between Finley and Ellie, his head turned to Elicia, all fireworks and sparkles in mind. After exploring the chemistry, Maddock backed off, but the damage was done. The big twist? Ellie left the villa, according to the Radio Times. “I’ve been through every emotion possible, made memories that will last forever, and I really wouldn’t change a second of it,” she wrote in the Instagram caption.
Hosted by Maya Jama, ‘Love Island UK Season 13’ will conclude the eight-week drama by crowning the winning couple.
