According to this report, after coming under intense scrutiny from the public after ITV's Jeremy Kyle was axed after death of one of it's show's guests who failed a lie detector, Love Island is considering scrapping their own version from the show.

The test has caused some of the most explosive dramas on the show since it began back in 2015 and a TV insider told the publication: "The lie detector episode is everyone’s favourite but it does cause some serious arguments between couples."

Former contestant Olivia Attwood has spoken about the reports, tweeting "Hmmm interesting, VERY interesting" which has now had over 1k likes.

Two former contestants from the show, Mike Thalassitis and Sophie Graddon have died by suicide in the past year and it has sparked debate about the wellbeing of people appearing on TV and reality shows.

The lie detector, or polygraph test, has been hooked up to each contestant as a series of questions are put to them as the rest of the villa watch on a TV screen from another room and has caused relationships within the villa to be put to the test.
