Love Island 2020 winner Finn Tapp has revealed he secretly rowed with show producers after the controversial News Splash challenge that the winter Islanders took part in earlier this year.
The Islanders had to guess which of them were being mentioned in a series of newspaper headlines during the game but viewers accused bosses of trying to split up him and Paige Turley by including a misleading story which made it seem as if Finn’s head had been turned in Casa Amor.
The former semi-pro footballer had in fact remained entirely faithful to his girlfriend in the second villa but she was left convinced that he’d strayed, which caused a right old barney.
Finn’s now spilled the tea about that infamous moment on The Reality Tea podcast and admitted that he shared a few cross words with producers after his argument with Paige.
He said, “When the headline came out that apparently my head had turned, I was like, 'What? Like, what's been shown?' I was like, how have they got this?
“And then I came out and obviously all the support [from fans] is like 'his head didn't and Paige needs to realise'. And then I realised, 'Okay, it was just a dodgy headline'.”
Recalling the moment he confronted producers, Finn continued, “If I'm honest, I had a few little tiffs with the producers just because I was angry.”
