Love Island's Haris Namani gets 'boot' from show after 'violent brawl' footage emerges

Haris Namani has been kicked off Love island after footage of him allegedly being involved in a 'street brawl' has emerged. However, it is being claimed that he has been given the boot in a dumping, rather than on the orders of producers

Days after he was embroiled in a heated spat with Love Island co-star Shaq Mohammad,. viewers who tuned into Monday's episode of the ITV dating show were left speculating that the young boxer had 'gone missing' when Haris was nowhere to be seen, as love interest Olivia Jenkins clashed with d Zara Lackenby-Brown.

And his 'absence' came just as a video, appearing to show the 21-year-old throwing a punch in a street fight in Doncaster started being shared online via Snapchat, although it is not yet known what the scuffle was about or whether he was provoked. The clip shows another man on the floor as Haris knocks him down with another blow, with the reality star heard shouting:" I'm not a bully, I'm not a f***ing bully."

A Love Island insider told The Sun: "Haris was booted off Love Island last night. There was a dumping and he got the chop. It is, in part, a relief for the show's bosses in light of the video of Haris in a street fight."

At the end of Monday's show, narrator Iain Stirling informed viewers that a dumping was looming and they had to play a part by voting for their favourite Islanders, with the two with the least votes than being put at risk of being given the chop.

Love Island are refusing to reveal whether Haris has left the villa or not, with a spokesperson for the show saying: "We would never comment on dumpings or show formats to avoid ruining the show for the viewers."
