Love Island viewers reckon Jordan was 'forced' to ditch Anna for India by 'meddling producers'

Jordan Hames messed up any chance of finding love or winning £50k last night as he attempted to switch girls and epically failed.

The Manchester model had only just gone official with Anna Vakili when he randomly decided to turn his attention to new girl India.

Viewers were up in arms as Jordan told Curtis that he fancied India - just days after asking Anna to be his girlfriend.

But the 24-year-old - still reeling from being in the bottom three in the public vote - got pied by India, who friendzoned him within minutes.

After pulling her aside, Jordan told her: "Just wanted to pull you because, this is a bit of a tough conversation to have with you but we need to have it.

"Obviously I know that you are getting on with Ovie, I'm not trying to get in the way of that, but I feel like I just need to get some of this off my chest.”

As India started looking uncomfortable, he continued: "Over the past couple of days I've found myself gravitating towards you.

"I feel, like, over the past couple of days I've found myself gravitating towards you and looking forward to bumping into you in the kitchen, washing up and stuff."

India, who is coupled up with Ovie, was in no way swayed by Jordan’s chat, and quickly put the breaks on any potential miscommunication.

She said: “Obviously I talk to Ovie and I talk to some of the other girls. But other than that, you're my mate.”

The villa kicked off royalty last night after Jordan made his feelings known - Anna went off, while Maura also erupted, and Amber didn’t keep quiet either.

While show bosses deny the claims, fans believe that producers must have been meddling in the relationships - with some suggesting Jordan switched because he realised he didn’t have a chance of winning with Anna.

One tweeted: “Curtis talks to Maura the exact same time Jordan professes his love for a girl he barely knows....so obviously manufactured by producers.”

A second said: “The producers watching Anna kick off after they perfectly scripted Jordan’s head turning,” followed by a gif of Michael Jackson eating popcorn.

Another posted: “Jordan has sacrificed himself to be the biggest tw*t just so the producers can get last minute ratings.”

A fourth said: “I can’t believe how staged Love Island is it’s actually boring me now. The producers said Jordan won’t win with Anna so he goes for India.”

A Love Island spokesperson said: “The opinions they have and the relationships formed are completely within the control of the Islanders ­themselves.”

Love Island airs tonight from 9pm on ITV2.
