LOVE Island’s Ben Holbrough had his identity hijacked – with his Instagram pictures used on a male escort website without his permission.
The taxi driver, 23, who fans have called to be axed from the villa, finally managed to get the profile, which used a fake name, removed.

A source said: “Ben was shocked to be told that a website he knew absolutely nothing about was using his images.
“He and some of his friends tried to have this profile removed. He was really upset to learn that someone was using his Instagram pictures, especially with many of them taken on his holidays.
“Ben explained the situation to the Love Island team during casting. It has been a really stressful time.”
A bio on the website read: “Hey ladies, I’m Lewis (London based). I believe that good company and a good connection is unbeaten.
“I’m an open minded and confident individual, who wants to turn them nerves into excitement. Whether it’s a sit-down meal, getting wine and dined at the end of a long week, going out and partying and everything in between – I’m here to make sure of a good time.”
Users were invited to “message for rates”, with “Lewis’s” statistics listed as 6ft 3in, aged 27 and based in London.
The “services” included: “Outcall, dinner/drinks date, day out, shopping trips, weekend away/holiday, go out nightclub/events and full body massage.”
It added: “I’m flexible and always up for listening to your ideas and what you enjoy doing…
“Please only message me on WhatsApp, you’ll always get a reply!
“Please note, female bookings only.”
Ben sparked outrage on last night’s show as he rowed with Yasmin Pettet, 24, and cruelly slammed her.
In a brutal put down, he told her: “You’re lucky Shea even picked you. To be fair, I think you’re lucky you’re even in here now to be fair.
“No one rated you when you were in here let’s say. You’ve only come out your shell because you’re in a couple with me.”
Things turned nasty on last night’s Love Island Ben had been coupled up with YasminEroteme Shutterstock EditorialHe was with Shakira until things turned sour[/caption]As she walked away, Ben shouted to the rest of the villa: “Eh, she’s made content for the next three weeks lads.”
After watching what could be one of the most hard-to-watch arguments in Love Island history, fans took to social media to slam Ben in droves.
Writing on X – formerly known as Twitter – one fan wrote: “Ben resorting to insults. Immature. Bye Felicia.”
A second claimed: “Ben is the type to only respect women he finds attractive. Nasty piece of work,” along with a puke emoji.
“I don’t think Ben did himself any favours in the chat,” noted a third viewer.
