'Love Island': Is Noah's disappearance linked to his former gay porn star days? Fans can't help but speculate

Noah became an instant fan-favorite for being bold enough to tell the truth to Cely. So, when fans couldn't spot him on the latest episode, they began wondering about his absence

If you watched the latest episode of 'Love Island', you might have noticed that Noah Purvis, one of the new guys in the villa wasn't shown at all in the episode. Noah played a crucial role in the previous episode. He revealed all about Johnny Middlebrooks' shenanigans at Casa Amor to Cely Vazquez. Following this, Noah became an instant fan-favorite for being bold enough to tell the truth to Cely. So, when fans couldn't spot him on the latest episode, they began wondering about his absence.

A fan tweeted, "I just got to the re-coupling...like where is Noah? Whattt happened. I feel like they needed to give us answers #LoveIslandUSA." Another shared, "Where did Noah go? He spilled tea and dipped out #loveislandusa." Another fan wrote, "Where did Noah from Love Island go? He just disappeared from the episode. Someone respond to me and tell me pls #loveislandusa #LoveIsland."

Some wild theories immediately began doing the rounds on Twitter, explaining Noah's absence. According to some fans, Noah's past career choices may have come back to haunt him. Hawk-eyed fans immediately noticed that Noah resembled a lot like one of the stars from Corbin Fisher's movies named Ethan. After a little bit of sleuthing on the internet, fans came to the realization that Noah and Ethan are the same person, which meant that Noah starred in some gay pornography.

On the show, Noah declared that he worked as a home healthcare provider who specialized in giving massages with claims of being good with his hands. Fans began wondering if his career as an actor in gay pornography might have led to his unexplained departure from the show.

A fan shared, "Not the producers kicking Noah off for being a porn star then pretending it nvr happened #LoveIslandUSA #LoveIsland." Another fan expressed, "So #LoveIslandUSA Contestant Noah Was A Gay Porn Star...And They Removed Him And Removing Any Trace Of Him On The CBS Website. Seriously Does ANYONE Over At CBS Do Background Checks If THAT Was A Problem (Which It Shouldn't Be). Seriously Production Sucks At CBS." "Did Noah get kick off for telling what really happened in Casa Amor? For making Kierstan feel uncomfortable for staring at her breast? For being a porn star? #LoveIslandUSA #loveisland," wondered a fan.

"Right. This one's on them. Why does Noah have to suffer because of their own sloppy research? Also justice for sex workers. #LoveIslandUSA," questioned a fan. Another fan pointed, "Those saying it’s wrong they kicked Noah off for being a pornstar.. I don’t think it’s because he does porn. It appears he failed to disclose it and they didn’t know until fans brought it to their attention. Definitely something you should disclose! #LoveIslandUSA."

"I'm not sure if Noah got kicked out b/c he's allegedly bi, which would be biphobic of #LoveIslandUSA or b/c he's been a sex worker but there are a ton of islanders who have done glamour modeling so I don't think that's fair either. If I were Noah I'd call my lawyer #LoveIsland," observed a fan.

'Love Island' Season 2 airs every day at 9/8c on CBS.
