LOVE Island fans have begged bosses to bring back the axed lie detector test, claiming it's needed to expose "rattled" Molly-Mae Hague's true feelings.

Tonight, Molly-Mae was left fuming when the headlines challenge revealed fans think she's faking her feelings towards boyfriend Tommy Fury.

Despite the couple being favourites to win the show, some fans are unconvinced by Molly-Mae and fear she is only using Tommy to win £50,000.

Reading out The Sun Online's headline, Harley said: "Love Island fans accuse 'bored' Molly-Mae of faking her love for Tommy Fury."

Fans are now hoping the infamous lie detector test will come back on-screen after it was axed in an effort to clean up the show.

One said: "Lie detector is necessary for molly mae and curtis, the public do not trust #LoveIsland."

‏Another added: "When is the lie detector??? I can’t wait to see Molly-Maes. Especially if he asks if her feelings were true.

"She’ll probably play him though, so he doesn’t ask any inappropriate questions. Why ask if our feelings are true, we know they are. #LoveIsland."

‏Someone else sneered: "Molly thinks she is smooth sailing right now. When the lie detector comes she is pissed #loveIsland."

A fan added: "Mate, Molly has been rattled & Anton is in the doghouse with his boys. Chris has shot himself the foot. We needed that challenge for small chaos, bring on the lie detector & let the whole villa shake.

#LoveIsland."

Another said: "Only one way to redeem yourself molly mae BRING ON THE LIE DETECTOR #LoveIsland."

Someone else added: "When's the lie detector test? Can't wait for Molly Maes answers #loveisland."

The Sun on Sunday revealed the lie detector would not return this year following the death of a Jeremy Kyle Show guest, and last year’s row over the way eventual winners Dani Dyer and Jack Fincham were treated.

An ITV source said: “A series of top-level meetings have been held over the past few weeks with regard to safety measures and duty of care procedures.

“One of the issues raised was the lie detector. The feeling was, in the wake of the Jeremy Kyle case, bosses must be whiter than white — they cannot mess with people’s emotions.

“The test they used last year was very basic — one not approved by the British Polygraph ­Association.

“While nothing is set in stone and ideas change on an almost daily basis, at the moment there are no plans to bring the ­polygraphs back.”

ITV outlined a comprehensive after-care package for show contestants to help them cope with fame after leaving the Majorca villa in the wake of Mike Thalassitis' death.

Cast members will now get eight counselling sessions and 14 months of contact with the Love Island crew.

They will also undergo training sessions to help them deal with fame, including lessons in social media use and how to manage their money.

The measures come after a spate of shocking reality TV ­suicides, including the deaths of Islanders Sophie Gradon, 32, and 26-year-old Mike.

Jeremy Kyle Show guest Steve Dymond, 63, is feared to have taken an overdose in his Portsmouth bedsit after hoping to convince his fiancée her had not been unfaithful — but failing the lie test.
