Love Island viewers expressed their concern for one Islander after they appeared to “vanish” from the show.

The hit ITV2 dating series has made its much anticipated comeback with a fresh batch of singletons hoping to find love.

However, some fans were left scratching their heads during the latest installment as one contestant seemed to go missing.

Mimii Ngulube had found herself stuck in a love triangle yet appeared to have slipped into the background already.

The mental health nurse, 24, was recently left troubled when Ayo Odukoya took a liking to Uma Jammeh, leaving her single.

However, bombshell Omar Nyame left many jaws dropped as he made the decision to steal Uma from Ayo, leaving Mimii to enjoy her renewed relationship with the hunk.

Despite the attention being on her earlier this week, Mimii was hardly shown during Friday night’s show. It didn’t go unnoticed by viewers as one demanded: “Where is Mimii?

Put her on my screen now!” Another asked: “Can someone tell me where Mimii is. She hasn’t had any screen time for days.” Someone else wrote: “Where is Mimii @loveisland?”

A fourth quipped: “Mimii is rarely getting any screen time, I hate it.” During the episode, the villa was rocked by three new bombshells arriving in the villa, including one of Joey’s exes, Grace Jackson.

Determined to clear the air with TOWIE legend after a short-lived romance last year and a brief text message exchange earlier this year, Grace chatted to Joey and the pair reflected on their “intense” relationship, deciding to put an end to any awkwardness – but the chemistry between them remained palpable.

Viewers have predicted it has sparked the end for Samantha Kenny’s time in the Love Island villa. She had been exploring her romantic potential with Joey in recent episodes after he snatched the make-up artist away from hairstylist Sam Taylor. A drinking game rocked their budding connection as Joey was asked to share a three-way kiss with two women.

In a shocking twist, Joey didn’t pick Samantha to kiss. Instead he decided to take on the task with Grace and bombshell Tiffany Leighton.

Fans speculated Samantha will soon be packing her bags as one said: “Guys if bombshells get first pick at the recoupling, Grace will pick Joey and Samantha might go home wait.” Another quipped: “Joey said you can have Samantha.”

A third jumped in: “Ohhhhh Samantha… pack your bag babe. Joey got exactly who he wants & it’s not you.” A fourth echoed: “Samantha time to pack your bags dear.” Someone else commented: “Joey Essex has proved that he’s like every other man. Disgusting.”

“Samantha watching her career fade away as Joey is showing interest in other girls”, one viewer wrote.

“Well that’s Samantha’s feature on TOWIE out the window”, another scoffed. Another social media user said: “Poor Samantha, acc breaking my heart.”
