Love Island star Ope Sowande forced out after Truth or Dare challenge

Ope Sowande Love Island Truth or Dare ITV fan campaign

On 12 June 2026, the 13th series of ITV's *Love Island* featured a heated Truth or Dare game at the Fire Pit. Contestants were asked to rank their connections, and the couple Ope Sowande and Victoria Onanusi were deemed the weakest. The villa received a surprise text announcing their immediate removal, and Ope was seen packing his belongings while visibly upset.

Hours later Ope posted on Instagram, saying he was "gutted" to leave and thanking fans for their support. Viewers quickly rallied on social media, urging the network to bring him back, with comments such as "Ope was pure entertainment" and "Bring Ope back in Casa" trending on X.

The episode will continue to be broadcast on ITV2 and ITVX, and Ope is scheduled to appear on related post‑show programmes.
