Love Island star George Knight was reportedly axed from the villa after receiving a warning from bosses for using an offensive slur.
Just days after heading to Mallorca as a bombshell, ITV announced earlier this month that the professional footballer would be leaving the show for 'private reasons'.
George has since insisted he quit the villa after learning that a member of his family had a health concern, but sources have now shared the real reason behind his departure.
It's claimed that while George's story about his family is true, he has used it to hide the fact that he was axed after receiving a formal warning for using 'unacceptable language' in the villa.
George then learned of his family news at the same time, but there is no suggestion that ITV bosses attempted to cover up his behaviour.
