Love Island: All Stars viewers were left cringing as Jack Keating and Whitney Adebayo finally kissed on Monday night's episode of the ITV2 show. The couple, who are both former contestants, locked lips for the first time outside of a challenge during the latest visit to the South African villa.
After pulling Jack aside for a chat, Whitney remarked: "It's definitely going forward!" Jack then pointed out they were the only couple who hadn't kissed outside of a challenge. Whitney asked: "What are you trying to insinuate? Do you want a kiss?" to which Jack replied: "I would love a kiss to be fair." After the kiss, Whitney joked it "wasn't bad" and noted that some of her lipstick had transferred onto his moustache.
However, fans at home were not convinced. Many took to social media to share their reactions, with one writing on X: "I'm sorry but I don't buy Whitney and Jack at all.. these couples feel so forced." Another said: "The high five after made me cringe sm, they are not feeling it I fear." A third added: "That Jack and Whitney kiss was the most awks thing ever."
The first episode of the series saw 12 former Islanders return to the villa for another chance at love. The public coupling vote paired Sean and Belle Hassan, Jack and Whitney, Tommy Bradley and Jess Harding, Shaq Muhammad and Leanne, and Ciaran and Millie Court.
Love Island: All Stars airs weeknights at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
