Omar was left single when Wil stole Uma from him and despite viewers never seeing him even talk to Jess, Omar decided to save her, meaning Samantha was sent packing.

Those watching at home took to social media to complain, with some even going as far as to claim it had been ‘rigged’.

One person wrote: “I think Sam wanted to go home & the producers did this to let her go…In what world does Omar pick JESS?! Also, Sean picking Harriette stating that shes always had his back, when Jess is the 1 that coupled up with him last! Sams dumping seems 100%producer orchestrated.”

A second added: “Omar you saved Jess ??? I don’t think I’ve ever seen you even converse with Jess ??”

While a third speculated: “The producers telling omar to couple up with jess so sam could get out of the way of joey winning.”

“Producers held Omar at gun point and told him to pick Jess,” joked a fourth.

In upsetting scenes, Samantha left the villa last night after having spent the day in tears over Joey.

Joey made the decision to end things with her and move on with his ex Grace, who has now entered the villa.

Speaking about her exit, an upset Sam said:  "Obviously I am devastated to leave all of the girls behind but I am very excited now to see what my future holds and look forward to seeing what is next.

"I was true to myself and didn't feel like it was a waste of my time because I followed what I felt was right for me. When it comes to Joey, I think if I knew what I know now, I perhaps would have done things differently."
