Love Island fans have been left furious after one islander was seen in tears following a brutal hideaway revelation. The dramatic episode aired on June 18, 2026, and has sparked widespread outrage among viewers.
Simba's Confession Sparks Tears
During the episode, Simba found himself in hot water with fans once again after confessing to Angelista that he had kissed Mica during an overnight stay at a second villa. He admitted, 'I just felt like I owed it to myself to explore that little bit further.' He then expressed his desire to share a bed with Mica, suggesting a trip to the hideaway.
Angelista, visibly upset, questioned Simba's intentions, dabbing away tears as she replied, 'You want to go to the hideaway and leave me sleeping by myself? No-one's been to the hideaway you'd be the first.'
Viewers React with Fury
Social media erupted with anger, with one viewer posting on X: 'Sorry I can't watch this.' Another vented: 'Simba is twisting the knife, what do you mean go to bed with her.' A third echoed: 'She's crying and you're still bringing up the hideaway? IS SIMBA MAD.'
Many fans expressed sympathy for Angelista, with one commenting: 'Seeing this beautiful woman cry with no one around her is so sad, she deserves all the love and happiness in the world.'
Simba and Mica's Kiss Sparks Backlash
Earlier in the episode, Simba and Mica shared another kiss before returning to the main villa, prompting one fan to demand: 'Get Simba OFF my screen.' Another raged: 'Nah they're so gross for this get them off my screen.' A third remarked: 'Simba and Mica disgust me. Producers should send video footage to Angie so she can see how loved up they are moving.'
Later Developments
Later in the episode, Mica rejected Simba's invitation to head to the Hideaway, a move that did not sit well with Simba. The drama continues as Love Island airs tomorrow at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
