Some of the stunning singletons on stand-by have apparently pulled the plug, fearing to enter the now 'war-zone' villa, and leaving ITV bosses scrambling.
The hit dating show saw temperatures soaring amid an ongoing explosive feud between Belle Hassan and Lucinda Stafford, who fuelled a dramatic showdown.
A source said: 'They're not going to stand a chance really getting a connection with someone so close to the end, and it's unlikely they will get any real airtime with all of this kick off between Belle and Lucinda.
'The bombshells who have been on standby to go in are starting to pull out.'

They continued to tell The Sun: 'One was asked to fly to South Africa to go into the villa but turned it down because of all the drama.'

Tensions started to fray when Lucinda stole Sean Stone from Belle - who gave her a dressing down - with the tables then turning as Belle made a play for Scott, despite him being coupled up with Leanne Amaning.
Viewers watched as Belle pulled Scott for a chat in the Secret Garden despite his rolling romance with Leanne, prompting Lucinda to take Belle aside.
But that sparked a huge row between FIVE of the Islanders last night, with Belle left shouting at Lucinda to 'f**k off' and 'keep her nose out of her business'.
It all culminated in Belle storming out of the villa, lying on the floor and then sobbing in the dressing room to co-stars Whitney Adebayo and Samie Elishi.
The ongoing drama sparked a series of complaints to Ofcom by fans watching at home, as it continues to roll through a number of the episodes.

It was then Jessy to get the text to alert the Islanders to gather around the fire pit for another recoupling - this time with the girls going first in picking which boys they want to couple up with.

Later, as Lucinda makes her speech by the fire pit, she appears to take aim at Belle once again, saying: 'There’s been some people in here that explored connections that hasn’t been genuine and some double standards that I’ve had to watch…'
Belle soon hits back: 'Why is this f*****g speech about me?'
The two women continue to argue, and nothing is resolved between the duo, with Belle concluding: 'I don’t want to speak to you, my issues I've dealt with - they’re none of your business.'
Lucinda later confessed to former show winner Millie Court: 'I just wanted to say one final thing at the fire pit…I just want her [Belle] to see where I come from.'
Millie replied: 'I don't think any of you are ever gonna see eye-to-eye, you’re gonna go round in circles it's pointless…at that point drop it.'

'The last person I thought that would do the exact same is Belle, especially not to someone like Leanne… when I do it, I get screamed and shouted at…'
Jessy told her: 'You know you love to rage bait…I think that you’re a smart girl and you’re underestimated.'
But Lucinda hit back: 'I’m not here to explain the way I am…' prompting the girls to engage in a furious clash as the rest of the villa watched on in shock.
Jessy later told Sean: 'I back that you’re gonna support Lucinda no matter what but it’s not a conversation between us…'
Defending Lucinda, he responded: 'I don’t think it was ever your place to say anything [to Lucinda] anyway…I‘m struggling to find your whole point to the conversation.'
