Raging Sherif Lanre vowed to gatecrash force the Love Island reunion party later tonight - despite being told to steer clear.

The outspoken Islander was booted out of the villa after accidentally kicking co-star Molly-Mae Hague in the groin and joked it was a "c*** punt".

He later hinted at being the victim of racism and claimed others not removed for similar statements.

Sherif was reportedly told he wasn't welcome at Sunday's reunion finale - and then went in on bosses for a second time .

But he is so fed up with being excluded that he is going anyway, reports The Sun .

“Sherif is so angry he doesn’t care about being banned he’s going to show up anyway and get into the party," a source claimed.

"He’s determined to cause a big scene and show everyone who’s boss and make the people who banned him realise how much they’ve upset him.”

Love Island fans claimed to spot a familiar face in the highlights reel on Sunday night despite Sherif being banned from the renuion.

Some viewers thought he should have been allowed back for one last time.

One fumed: "How you gonna exclude Sherif from attending but still use clips with him in?! #rude#damncheek#LoveIslandReunion

Another said: "how can they show sherif, but ban him from the reunion.. that’s absolutely mugging it to be honest."

A third complained: "Absolute outrage how sherif hasn’t been allowed back to the reunion #LoveIslandReunion "

One grumbled: "So they were serious when they said Sherif is banned."

Speaking to the SunOnline on Friday, Sherif said: "They are saying that because my contract has ended I am not required to go.

"But I want to go so I don't see how 'not required' means that I am banned.

"I didn't get a chance to say goodbye when I had to leave and I was looking forward to seeing the friends I made in the villa.

"The reunion would have been my one chance to see some of them this summer. Several of them have said they would see me there. The situation is upsetting."

He added: "I can’t rule out that racism was a factor here. I think there may have been some unconscious racism.

"By that I mean, the producers might not have been aware of what they were doing, but they may have had an inherent bias in their minds that caused them to act against me."

An ITV spokesperson said at the time: " Sherif fully accepted and agreed that he broke the rules and that he should leave. We take any instance of inappropriate behaviour very seriously and we speak to all of the islanders to remind them of what we condone to be acceptable behaviour during their time on the show."
