Furious Love Island viewers are calling for Medway's Ellie Jones to be taken out of the villa after old social media posts of her appearing to support Tommy Robinson emerged.

The former Mid Kent College student's Facebook page appeared to show two posts supporting the campaigner, reports MirrorOnline.

On her page, the 22-year-old customer service and office administrator shared posts seemingly applauding Robinson, who is currently behind bars for contempt of court.

Dated May 23 2017, the first post saw Ellie add three 'OK' emojis to a video post by a man who captioned it: "LONDON. I'm not a racist, but this guy speaks sense! he is branded a racist by many.. whether he is or isn't that's none of my business.

"I just know he speaks the truth."

The video showed Robinson speaking at an alt-right rally in London, in which he dubbed Islam an "infestation" and called for martial law to "destroy this enemy".

Ellie's second post, shared on June 4, 2017, was three clapping emojis on a video link of Robinson - whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon - ranting at the camera, which had been captioned: "Tommy Robinson: 'Why do we let these terrorists back into our country?' (Strong language)."

The two posts have been screengrabbed and shared online by furious Love Island fans as they demanded the former Walderslade Girls' School pupil be axed from the ITV2 show.

As heart-to-heart scenes between Ellie and love rival Dani Dyer aired on last night's show, one viewer wrote: "This Ellie ting is a Tommy Robinson supporter, Dani you better just finish the orange juice and glass her immediately."

While another tweeted: "ELLIE SUPPORTS TOMMY ROBINSON LOOOOOL F****** HELL SHE JUST GETS WORSE."

And a third added: "Wish Ellie would have followed her mate Tommy Robinson to prison instead of Jack to Majorca."

Some viewers made jokes regarding her questionable social media activity, while others were furious that she could remain in the villa after sharing them.

"Can u imagine Danny Dyer finding out Ellie supports Tommy Robinson, he's flying straight to Mallorca and telling Dani to smack the b****," one viewer fumed.

And yet another said: "WAIT... does this mean jack treated ellie badly coz she likes the racist a****** tommy robinson? If so then protect jack at all costs."

Robinson, the former leader of the English Defence League (EDL), was jailed for 13 months in May after breaching court orders for a second time.

He was detained outside Leeds Crown Court after using social media to broadcast details of an ongoing trial which is subject to blanket reporting restrictions.

The right-wing activist was given 10 months in jail for contempt of court, and a further three months for beaching a previous suspended sentence.

Meanwhile Medway girl Ellie has already caused a stir on the show after contacting producers when she saw her ex Jack Fincham was going in.

And viewers were worried her arrival would disrupt Jack's budding relationship with Dani - especially after he was moved to Casa Amor to be introduced to the batch of new girls last week.

Last night's show saw Dani take Chatham's Ellie out for a drink and a chat to clear the air - and what Ellie said about Jack seems to have rattled the young actress.

She revealed that Jack didn't treat her well and that they'd been seeing each other on and off for two years - far longer than Jack had told Dani.

And the worst red flag uncovered by Ellie was that Jack - at the age of 23 - still has a poster of Dani's dad Danny Dyer above his bed, which Dani said she would dump him for if it turned out to be a giant portrait of his face.

Kent Live's sister title MirrorOnline has contacted ITV for comment about Ellie.

*Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2.
