Love Island footballer Finley Tapp didn't tell boss he was leaving
And he's meant to play this Saturday 👀
The Winter edition of Love Island yet again graced our TV screens last night (Thursday 16th January), with two new bombshells Connagh Howard and Finley Tapp entering the villa as the show's first male newcomers.
The boys immediately caused some drama, taking out Siânnise Fudge, Shaughna Phillips, Sophie Piper and Paige Turley on dates before meeting the rest of the Islanders in the stunning villa.
But it seems Finley has already created some drama in the outside world, as he reportedly failed to tell his boss that he was flying to Cape Town to appear on the dating show.
The 20-year-old is a part-time football player for Oxford City Football Club and was allegedly in the starting line-up for the team's game this Saturday against Braintree.
A source told The Mirror that Finley's boss guessed the star was heading to South Africa when he failed to show up for a medical examination earlier this week. A source from the club said, "He's left a hole on our team sheet", before jibing, "Though, we have a hole in our defence most weeks."

In his final game before his debut TV appearance, Finley was left unconscious on the pitch after he was involved in a collision during a match against Dartford.
The game had to be suspended for eight minutes until he was stretchered off the field.
However, as The Mirror reports, it seems he made a recovery in time to catch his flight.
Revealing what type of Islander he will be like, before entering the villa, Finley said, "I’m a relationship kinda guy so I’m looking for a partner to come out of the villa with. I know I’ll make friends with the blokes in there too so I should be a good contender."
