Why Did Niall Leave Love Island?

Why Did Niall Leave Love Island?

Reports are still coming in from left, right and centre as to why he left.

The news seemed to come out of nowhere on Tuesday, with Alex telling the rest of the islanders that the fan favourite had to leave for 'personal reasons.'

Reports suggested that he would not be doing any press, which is rather unusual for someone who has just left the villa. 

There's been a lot of speculation as to what happened, so let's break down the rumours.

Firstly, the evening of Niall's departure, Rosie called out Adam for his shadiness. Firstly, the evening of Niall's departure, Rosie called out Adam for his shadiness. Fans, however, noticed something Rosie said in passing that they reckon might hold some clues. 

Around the 1.29 mark below, she says "You say about Niall not being honest the other night."

So, what was he being 'dishonest' about?

Viewers reckon it's a secret girlfriend.

Now, this 'dishonesty' could be about anything and it was just a passing comment.

If it was a case there was something juicier going on here, we reckon producers would have ran with it, so this seems like a dead end to us.

Secondly, rumours that Niall is unwell have been thrown into the mix.

A show insider tells the Sun "Duty of care is the most important consideration on shows like this and as soon as he felt unwell, ITV would have had a discussion with him about leaving."

The source claims "The decision they took would have been taken between all parties with Niall's health being the only consideration."

Finally, others are claiming that the pressure simply got too much for Niall. 

During his short time on the show, he opened up about insecurities about his appearance, revealing he had surgery to pin his ears back. 

A source claims that these insecurities got the better of him.

Speaking to the Mail Online, the insider claims "It's an emotionally stressful environment and he over worries to the point where he gets stressed. Before he got his ears pinned back, if anyone wasn't interested in him or made a joke he'd assume it was about his ears and put a hat on for the rest of the day just to avoid people seeing."

ITV are keeping the information tightly under wraps and Niall is yet to speak out.

Whatever the reason was, we're certainly missing him from our TV screens and wish him the very best!
