The 24-year-old model was involved in a serious incident on New Year’s Eve 2019 when an acquaintance got into an altercation with two victims before being stabbed. Victor Maazel was found guilty of two counts of causing grievous bodily harm with intent following a party in London’s Keswick Road, The Sun reported.“There was an incident at a party I attended when I was a teenager. It was clearly something that should not be taken lightly and was extremely traumatic for everyone involved,” the model said in an Instagram video on July 3, 2026, per Deadline , adding, “I just want to clarify that the legal judge found no wrongdoing on my part and I have no criminal record. This has obviously led to me leaving Love Island, which is very disappointing, especially from a personal perspective.”“
George Knight – quit
George Knight, a professional football player from Winchester, left Casa Amor six days after the premiere. The athlete described the reason as “private family reasons” and said he would prioritize his loved ones. “The villa was a decision I made to be with my family. Out of respect for them, I don’t want to reveal more details,” he wrote on Instagram. According to The Sun, another reason for his exit was the use of “unacceptable language” in the villa. After a warning from the manufacturer, he was sent home.

After exploring the chemistry, Maddock changed his mind, but the damage was done. The major twist?
