Fans of Love Island have expressed concern as one contestant appeared to be “missing” from the villa.
The popular dating show aired another episode on Friday (June 7), starting off with high tensions, particularly between Harriet Blackmore and Ciaran Davies. However, viewers quickly noticed that Munveer Jabbal was absent from the screen.
Worried fans took to X to voice their concerns. One social media user asked, “Where is Munveer?” Another queried, “Pls. Is Munveer going to get any screen time??”
A third fan added, “All Munveer has brought to the villa is his face card… I haven’t even seen his face onscreen once this episode?” Another echoed, “Is Munveer still in there? I really liked him on day one but where’s he been since then?” Yet another asked, “Is Munveer missing???? Like are they keeping him in a secret room he’s not in any of the shots?”
Fans also felt Munveer should start making connections and thought Mimii should still consider exploring a relationship with him. Currently partnered with Mimii, Munveer had previously shown interest in Ayo.
As the recoupling approached, fans urged Mimii and Munveer to make a connection. One fan wrote, “Munveer and Mimii, this is a sign to locate each other, please.” Another penned, “Does Munveer know he’s on #loveisland? Mimii needs to be friends with him again cause if Uma picks Ayo, I need my girl to be safe.” A third echoed, “Munveer and Mimii need to get together or something because why are they the only two not grafting?”
Munveer previously stated that he plans to keep things relatively PG in the villa. Speaking to news outlets, the 29-year-old shared his intention to remain respectful. He said, “I’m going to be very respectful…. Obviously representing the South Asian community, that goes against everything we stand for. So, I’m going to be keeping it PG for sure.”
