Love Island’s latest season has been anything but short of drama, but contestant Ben Holbrough has sparked outrage after his shocking remarks toward fellow islander Yasmin Pettet.

Fans are now calling for his immediate removal from the villa, branding his behavior as “disrespectful,” “immature,” and downright “disgusting”.

The explosive confrontation unfolded during the June 26 episode, leaving viewers stunned and flooding social media with demands for Ben’s exit. With a public vote looming, his fate on the show now hangs in the balance.

The Explosive Argument That Sparked Backlash

The tension between Ben and Yasmin reached a boiling point after Yasmin confronted him about allegedly badmouthing her to the other male contestants. What started as a civil conversation quickly escalated into a heated exchange, with Ben making a series of derogatory remarks.

“No man wants you in here.”
“You’re lucky Shea even picked you.”
“Yasmin’s the most irrelevant girl I’ve ever met.”

Yasmin, maintaining her composure, fired back: “Don’t f*** waste my time,”* before calling him “so immature.” Ben, however, doubled down, even breaking the fourth wall by shouting: “This is amazing content… She’s made content for the next three weeks, lads.”.

Fans were quick to condemn his behavior, with many pointing out the misogynistic undertones in his comments.

Viewers took to X (formerly Twitter) to express their disgust, with the hashtag #GetBenOut quickly trending. Some notable reactions included:

“Ben is a nasty human being. I hope no one ends up with this man.”
“If Ben speaks to women like this on national television, imagine what he’s like on the outside…”
“Ben is like a kid in the candy store, he’s too fkn old for the way he acts.”

Even former Love Island star Molly Marsh weighed in on Instagram, calling Ben’s behavior “vile”.

Will Ben Be Dumped in the Next Vote?

The timing of Ben’s outburst couldn’t be worse—the first public vote of the season opened immediately after the episode aired, allowing viewers to choose their favorite male and female contestants. The least popular islanders risk being axed from the villa.

Given the overwhelming backlash, many fans believe Ben has “sealed his fate.” One viewer tweeted: “Think Ben just sealed his fate lol.” Another added: “Ben needs to be voted out #LoveIsland!” .

With Yasmin gaining widespread support, Ben’s chances of survival look slim.

A Pattern of Controversial Behavior

This isn’t the first time Ben has faced criticism. Earlier in the season, he made headlines for claiming the female contestants “hadn’t been tested enough” and needed a “wake-up call.” His comments, made during a boys’ night out (while the girls secretly watched), were met with widespread condemnation.

His latest clash with Yasmin has only solidified his reputation as one of the most disliked male contestants in recent Love Island history.
