Why did Gabriel leave Love Island?

The Sun have reported that ITV removed Gabriel from the villa when they were made aware of an incident that allegedly happened when he was 17 years old.

They've said that since Gabriel hadn't been convicted of anything, the routine DBS checks didn't reveal anything untoward. However, the event was brought to light when the Casa Amor cast was announced on socials and some fans flagged an issue in Love Island's comments.

An ITV spokesperson has said: "Gabriel has now left the villa and will not be returning. We will not be commenting further out of a duty of care towards participants."

The Sun have also revealed that no one will be coming in to Casa replace Gabriel.
