Love Island fans have been left fuming after uncovering a 'whole side plot' that was edited out of the main episodes, only to be revealed in the Unseen Bits show. The ITV reality series has seen tensions escalate among Islanders, with Priya and Julia clashing and Finley caught in a love triangle with Ellie and Elicia. But viewers were sidetracked by an unseen moment involving Tommy and a strawberry.
Tommy's Strawberry Feeding Sparks Hilarious Reactions
During Unseen Bits on Saturday, Tommy discussed feeding Elicia a strawberry on their date, leaving the villa perplexed. One viewer shared a compilation on Reddit, writing: 'It's a shame Tommy gets no screentime.' In the clips, Tommy defended his actions, saying: 'Bro, it's a f***** strawberry. I don't know what's worse the strawberry or the twirl.' He later told Yasmin: 'She was hungry... I wanted to make sure she was hydrated. I'm a people's person.'
Fans were bewildered by the limited screen time, with one commenting: 'Lmao not the whole strawberry side plot we missed.' Another added: 'I wish they would include stuff like this in the main eps because the past couple of weeks have been upsetting.' A third joked: 'I forget Tommy's in that villa sometimes! This is killing me though.' Over on X, viewers echoed the sentiment, with one saying: 'If producers actually gave Tommy decent screentime he could've won the favorite boy.'
Fans Demand More Tommy in Main Episodes
Many fans expressed frustration that the strawberry incident was cut, calling it more entertaining than recent storylines. One wrote: 'This is the first season in ages I've been watching unseen bits because they've all been gold.' Another stated: 'This is cracking me up they should've added this into the main ep.' A sixth viewer commented: 'Why aren't they showing stuff like this lolll.' The outcry highlights a growing demand for more lighthearted moments in the main show.
Love Island airs Sunday to Friday at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
