Love Island fans have taken to social media to express their discomfort after watching the show's latest family and friends episode, with many declaring the winners' behaviour 'painfully awkward'.
The highly anticipated reunion special, which aired last night, saw this year's champions reunite with their loved ones - but viewers were left cringing at what they described as 'forced interactions' and 'zero chemistry'.
Social Media Erupts Over 'Uncomfortable' Scenes
Twitter and Instagram exploded with comments from disappointed fans who claimed the winning couple appeared 'disconnected' from their families. One viewer tweeted: 'This is the most uncomfortable TV I've watched all year - how did these two even win?'
Prize Money Controversy
The backlash has led to renewed debate about whether the right couple won the £50,000 prize. Many fans are now questioning if production influenced the voting results, with some calling for greater transparency in the selection process.
Production Team Defends Episode
Insiders from the show have reportedly defended the episode, suggesting that the 'awkward moments' were simply down to nerves and the pressure of being on live television. However, this explanation has done little to calm the storm of criticism online.
As the controversy continues to grow, ITV bosses are said to be reviewing feedback ahead of next season's production.
