So far Sean Fitzgerald’s Love Island journey has been plain sailing as he is “locked off” with detective Lola.
However, a major shake-up could be on the way for the Galway footballer.

According to reports, Fitzy’s ex has yet to agree to enter the villa.

Thursday’s episode picked up in the immediate aftermath which involved plenty of tense discussions and Fitzy was there to witness it all.
The main focus was on Ope and Simba who were rowing over the kiss with Angelista.

To this Ope replied: “Of course it’s not looks bro I’m 10/10.”
The cameras picked up Fitzy laughing at Ope’s comment and fans were quick to draw attention to his reaction.
