Love Island's Michael Griffiths speaks out on Jordan Hames and Anna Vakili's relationship
He and the boys agreed he shouldn't make Anna his girlfriend
Author: Georgie HollandPublished 24th Jul 2019
Love Island viewers' jaws hit the floor last night (23rd July) when Jordan Hames revealed he wanted to get to know new girl India Reynolds a little more, despite asking Anna Vakili to be his girlfriend just DAYS prior. And now, dumped villa bad-boy Michael Griffiths has revealed to Lorraine that the boys had advised him not to go official with the pharmacist.
Being the catalyst for one of the most dramatic story-lines of the season so far, fans were eager to hear what Michael had to say about Jordan, who is seemingly following in his pal's footsteps. Speaking to Lorraine, he said, "I really don't know what's going on in Jordan's head to be honest."
Continuing, he said, "We spoke about the whole getting into a relationship thing, and we sat round and said it's not the best thing to do, then Jordan's gone ahead and done it.
"I didn't think there was a doubt in Jordan's mind (about Anna), but it just seems he's had a bit of head loss and stumbled at the first hurdle." Easily done, hey Michael?

After being confronted by Anna herself, we saw a pretty volcanic eruption in the villa, followed by Jordan accusing her of being, "negative all the time." This sparked a lot of fury for many viewers, who quickly drew comparisons between his and Michael's behaviour.
One fan Tweeted, 'Did Michael’s spirit somehow switch into Jordan or what #loveisland' sic, whilst another wrote, 'Michael left and the same demon that possessed him to leave Amber for Joanna has now gone and attached itself to Jordan' sic.
