Though the cast celebrated on-air, tensions backstage hit a boiling point.

A production insider told The U.S. Sun, “The last few days — especially the finale — were full of fireworks, but not the fun kind.

“Some couples were livid and made it clear behind the scenes. They believed the results were unfair and that they deserved to win instead.”

The source added: “We had to step in and calm people down — emotions were running at an all-time high.”

💥 “Scandalous” Ending

According to the insider, several Islanders were “shocked and scandalized” they weren’t kept until the final vote.

“They were extremely upset. We had to remind them to respect the decision and that we had no control over the outcome.”

😬 Huda & Chris Fallout

Despite making it to the finale, Huda Mustafa and Chris Seeley’s relationship crashed and burned — with the two breaking up in the middle of the episode, a first in Love Island USA history.

One source previously told The U.S. Sun the pair wanted to quit the show immediately after their breakup.

“They tried to leave, but we had to convince them to stay until the final results,” the source revealed. “They’re under contract — they can’t just walk out.”

The blow-up happened after Chris refused to cuddle with Huda during a tense exchange.

“Huda is unpredictable,” the source said. “We didn’t expect things to get that bad with Chris, but he completely lost it. The emotional pressure was off the charts.”

The insider added: “Chris didn’t like feeling controlled or ‘taught a lesson’ by Huda. He snapped.”

Another source confirmed: “It caused chaos for everyone. Their fight soured the finale — and honestly, their behavior was selfish.”

“They begged to leave, but we had to remind them of their obligations.”

Reps for Huda and Chris declined to comment.

💕 Meanwhile…

Amaya and Bryan had a fairytale ending.

Amaya told Bryan: “You make me believe fairytales are true because I’m living one with you right now. This is the end of our journey on Love Island, but the beginning of our fairytale.”

Bryan responded: “You said I was the water to your fire, but you are my peace in all this madness. I can’t wait to keep growing together.”

The reunion special airs August 25 on Peacock.
