A Casa Amor bombshell has been removed from the U.K. version of Love Island following reports that he was connected to a stabbing in London.

Gabriel Garland, 24, briefly appeared in Sunday night’s episode of season 13 before he was pulled from the popular ITV2 dating reality series. He entered the villa alongside five other Casa Amor men. “Gabriel has now left the villa and will not be returning,” an ITV spokesperson told The Guardian in a statement on Monday.

The Hollywood Reporter has also reached out to ITV for comment.

Though ITV didn’t share a reason for his departure, The Guardian reported that producers removed Garland after learning that he was named in court documents connected to a 2019 stabbing that happened in south-east London on New Year’s Eve. Vitor Mazzer was convicted after being found guilty of two counts of grievous bodily harm with intent.
