LOVE Island fans are claiming producers stepped in as Dejon made a 'calculated apology' to Yasmin after last night's kissing challenge.
After much backlash online following his harsh score for Yasmin during the kissing challenge, Dejon pulled her for a chat and attempted to clear the air.

He said: “In that moment in time, I just wasn’t in the right headspace. And I feel like I denied you that opportunity.”
Yasmin replied: “For me it was more so in the challenge. You gave me a zero. I would’ve had more respect if you’d have said something like, ‘I didn’t kiss her out of respect for Meg and we’re exclusive,’ but you kind of made out like it was me.”
Dejon tried to defend himself, saying: “I was just making jokes, I didn’t think anyone would take it seriously.”
But Yasmin wasn’t having it: “It sounded like it was on me, that’s why it got my back up a little bit.”
Dejon eventually backtracked: “I was just joking, but if you took it offensively I apologise.”
Yasmin ended the chat with: “I hope that pasta was good though.”
However, the apology didn’t land well with viewers — many of whom felt the moment was staged.
One fan posted on X, formerly Twitter, “Meg and Dejon is propaganda I am seriously not falling for love island producers x”
Another wrote: “dejon and harry are terrifying. it’s really uncomfortable to watch them be so casually disrespectful and unaware of their behaviour."
And a third added: “Dejon is very very calculated. Even how he has reflected and used the very things he knows the public voted them down for… Byeeee."

A fourth viewer fumed: “love island producers - ‘even the stupid people are starting to realise dejon isn’t a nice guy, let’s get him to say sorry and then we will send him on a date straight after, these reform fiat 500 idiots will love it’ ‘oh and make him mention men’s mental health’."
And another simply concluded: “love island producers can try all they want i will never like dejon and his mug."
Love Island's annual Snogathon created some serious divisions between the Islanders this year.
The lads were blindfolded, wearing headphones, while the girls make their way down the line and smooch each of them in turn.
The boys then rated each snog out of ten, leading to inevitable jealousies erupting.
Yasmin was not only upset over Dejon's feedback, but also Jamie getting handsy with the other girls.
“What the f*** am I watching?” she exclaimed, clearly unimpressed.
