Love Island crew are reportedly counting down the hours for the ITV final following claims the final eight contestants have “bad attitudes.”
During Sunday night’s (July 30) instalment of the hugely popular dating show, Ella Barnes and Mitchel Taylor were dumped from the Majorcan mansion after they received the most votes for the least compatible couple.
And with the live final just hours away, ITV staff have reportedly lifted the lid on the cast’s “entitled antics” away from the cameras.

One insider told The Sun how the final eight contestants have pushed them to their limits with their behaviour which has “nose-dived” since they made it to the final, with one contestant even accused of swiping extra booze.
An insider told the publication: “It’s been a long summer for some of the crew on Love Island and they’ve been moaning about the attitudes of the final eight stars.
“They have rubbed people up the wrong way. One of them was even accused of stealing alcohol. It’s all become a bit silly. It’s like they know the end is in sight so they can do as they please.”
Millions of viewers are expected to tune in to the live final tonight with fan-favourites Whitney Adebayo and Lochan Nowacki, both 25, expected to steal the £50,000 prize.
They are up against Tyrique Hyde, 24, and Ella Thomas, 23, Sammy Root and Jess Harding, both 22, and Zach Noble, 25, and Molly Marsh, 24.
It’s fair to say the tenth series has been one of the most explosive throughout the show’s history, but has averaged around 2.7million viewers per episode – approximately half the viewers of 2019.
Despite the dip in fans, ITV claims the show has seen the biggest jump in numbers in audience members between aged 16 to 24 on a commerical channel since th eWorld Cup has been streamed 300million times.
A spokesperson told The Sun: “All of our Islanders this year have been fantastic. Our focus is on the final and celebrating a series of love.

It comes after fans shared their shared embarrassment for Olivia Attwood and Sam Thompson after the dynamic duo returned to the Love Island villa in a prepared skit ahead of the final episode of Aftersun.
The ITV spin-off show began with the Made In Chelsea star and his girlfriend as contestants in the villa with this series' finalists before the former TOWIE star arrived as the latest 'bombshell' despite recently tying the knot to footballer Bradley Dack.
Sam immediately had his head turned by Olivia in the skit and stood at the firepit to announce who he would couple up with, however he was interrupted by a text announcing Aftersun was starting and would be live in Majorca.
Love Island airs tonight at 9pm on ITV2 or catch up on ITVX.
As Maya Jama welcomed viewers back to the show, fans flooded to Twitter to mock the light-hearted segment online, with one tweeting: "I turned Aftersun on to see Scott not for this awful acting #LoveIsland."
Another agreed: "Nah this acting on this segment of Aftersun is so cringe omg #LoveIsland."
A third echoed: "What in the YouTuber acting is this #LoveIsland" which a fourth chimed in with: "Love Island Aftersun is giving GCSE drama lool #LoveIsland."
