Fans of Love Island have speculated Michael Griffiths was saved on the show so the storyline with his ex Amber Gill can continue.
Last night’s episode saw couple Michael and Joanna Chimonides come bottom in the public vote. But in a shock twist, Islanders were then given the option to save one of them and they chose Michael.
Some viewers branded the show a set up for allowing Michael to stay after his former partner Amber revealed she still has feelings for him.
One viewer tweeted: “Love Island producers wanted Michael to go back to Amber even if he doesn’t want to. Everything is staged and a fix #loveisland.”
A second added: “Such a fix that Michael is single again, producers 100% made that happen for the Amber dramz 😂#LoveIsland.”
A third questioned: “Do you think the ending of #LoveIsland is a fix to get Michael and Amber back together?”

And another fan commented: “Very convenient having Michael and Joanna forced to split on the same night Amber lets Michael know her feelings. We know the show is a fix but at least try and cover it up.”
However, Love Island has denied the claims made by viewers.
A representative for Love Island told Ent Daily: “As we have said on numerous occasions, the show is not fixed.”

Despite the fan speculation, Michael made it clear to Amber that he sees no chance of a reunion with her.
After Joanna’s departure, he told Amber he still wants to make things work with Joanna when he gets out of the villa.
