Love Island fans slam 'terrifying' boys over 'bully' behaviour

Love Island fans have been left "terrified" by two male members of the cast.

Viewers of the ITV2 dating reality show, which is currently in its final weeks on air, were left shocked when Harry Cooksley decided to flirt with Angel Swift, even though he is currently coupled up with Helena Ford.

The 30-year-old footballer riled fans up even further when he commented on Angel's underwear, right in front of his girlfriend. The move came just moments after he assured Helena that he had "binned off" Bombshell Angel so he could be fully committed to their own romance.

Meanwhile, fellow Islander Dejon Noel-Williams disappointed fans when he declined Yasmin Pettet's request for a chat after he had dished out a string of mean comments during a Snoggathon challenge. At the time, he claimed that he was busy eating but later told her that he "was just joking" but insisted that if it was all taken in offence, then he apologised to her. Still, the two boys have ruffled the feathers of those who tuned into Love Island and the loyal fans of the programme took to social media to make their opinions known.

One wrote on X: "Dejon is one of the worst islanders to enter this villa. The gaslighting, the manipulation, the deflection, the lack of accountability and the bullying. It’s been hard to watch," whilst another took great issue with Harry, writing: "Harry giving googly eyes to Angel in front of Helena is so disrespectful. What is wrong with these men?” In venting their frustration at both, a third fan wrote: "Harry’s the devil you know, Dejon is the devil you don’t."

Another fan was quick to describe Dejon as "very calculated" with how he conducts himself in the Spanish villa, saying: "Dejon is very very calculated. Even how he has reflected and used the very things he knows the public voted them down for… Byeeee", but another viewer claimed that both the footballer and his current girlfriend Meg Moore are simply a construct that have come from behind the scenes. They said: "Meg and Dejon is propaganda I am seriously not falling for love island producers.”

The social media furore comes just days after - who has embarked on an on-off relationship with Helena since the show started but haven’t yet "closed things off" - said in Friday evening’s episode that he was "open" to getting to know bombshell Angel. Only time will tell if he has a better connection with Angel than he has with Helena.

Despite the high drama of Monday's episode, none of this was enough to keep viewers interested, with many fans calling it "the most boring" one of the entire series. Viewers kept repeating they were "bored" with some wanting to "skip" to the end of the episode.

Taking to social media, one fan commented: "So obviously today is gonna be the most boring episode of the season." Another fan said: "Can we skip to the end," as a third viewer asked: "Is anyone else mad bored?"

Another fan wrote online: "I'm bored and theres still the date to come," while a further comment from a viewer said: "Can’t lie it’s starting to become boring now." This was echoed by another fan who posted: "This is such a boring episode."

The same comments kept on being shared, as one fan said: "This episode is so boring." Another fan agreed: "Most boring episode to date."

As the episode came to an end, a tomorrow night teaser revealed a dumping was looming. Not only that but there's a special guest performing at the Love Island 'festival' before the Islanders must say goodbye.

Viewers went back to commenting about the episode after seeing this, making a plea to bosses. A fan posted: "What a waste of my time @LoveIsland. Don’t do that again." Another fan posted: "What a waste of an episode."
