Inside Love Island family wars that will make for VERY awkward intro including Andrew’s brother’s harsh words for Tasha
MEETING the parents is always nerve-wracking, but when they’ve watched every step of your relationship unfold on TV, it’s a recipe for fireworks.
This year’s Love Island cohort are set for a very awkward ‘meet the family’ episode, as most have at some point provoked the ire of their partner’s nearest and dearest.
And it’s not just the couples who should be worried, as some mums, dads and siblings are furious at the behaviour of other contestants towards their kids.
As we edge closer to the final, we take a look at the most savage jibes of the series.
Team Tasha vs Team Andrew
Despite being coupled up for most of the series with Andrew Le Page, 27, Tasha Ghouri‘s family have been less than complimentary about the estate agent.
They were furious at his behaviour in Casa Amor and branded him a “clown” after he made catty comments about Tasha, 23, to Coco Lodge, 27, before snogging her.

Tasha’s family, who are running her Instagram account while she’s in the villa, shared a comment made by a fan which read: “Don’t get the need to bring Tasha down while talking to Coco, it’s wrong.”
They teamed it with a clip from Keeping Up With The Kardashians where Kim told sisters Kourtney and Khloe: “So I gotta be real with you guys, you look like f*****g clowns.”
‘Crocodile tears’
Meanwhile Andrew’s family have been less than complimentary about Tasha.

After the estate agent made a move on Coco, Tasha was shown locking lips with Billy Brown.
That night Andrew’s account featured a post which read: “Oh dear, looks like team Tasha jumped the gun. Pot, kettle.”
Underneath it was a picture of Arsenal star Granit Xhaka, who many fans think looks like Billy, 23, shushing his lips.
Andrew’s brother also had a pop at Tasha for regularly bursting into tears during the series.
One one occasion she sobbed when she discovered Andrew had performed a sex act on Coco.

Adam Le Page
In response, Andrew’s brother Adam posted an Instagram story which read: “Sick of the crocodile tears #neverinthewrong keep your chin up little bro.”
The post was shared on Andrew’s Instagram page by his family.
Shortly after, Tasha’s dad claimed his daughter cries a lot because it’s a side effect of her being deaf.
Earlier in the series, Andrew’s family were unimpressed when she was chosen for a date by bombshell Jay Younger.
They shared a post from a fan which included a photo of Andrew and the caption: “This man deserves better,” as well as a meme implying he was being played by Tasha.
Team Davide vs Team Ekin-Su
Turkish soap actress Ekin-Su Culculoglu, 27, had quickly become a fan favourite for her chaotic behaviour and blistering rows with partner Davide Sanclimenti, 27.
But Davide’s family don’t seem as enamoured by Ekin-Su as he does, so it’s likely to be a frosty meeting when it eventually happens.
The Italian’s family were furious when she moaned about him not making her coffee in the morning – before sneaking to the terrace for a secret snog with Jay, whom she later coupled up with briefly.
In response to her antics, Davide’s loved ones wrote on Instagram: “How about you make your own coffee. Over the past few days we all had to tolerate a desperate attempt to steal the show.
“Like Davide said, ‘Something is not quite right’ and we really hope he figures out what is really going on and takes action.”
They added that big-hearted Davide deserves “someone genuine”, referencing the moment Ekin told newcomer Jacques O’Neill: “I’d rather be [in bed] with you.”
Davide’s family snapped: “If you want to be treated like a lady, act like one first.” Ouch.
‘S**t-shame’ row
Meanwhile Ekin’s family were left furious by the lads’ behaviour during Movie Night.
A clip of Ekin-Su in bed with George Tasker, 23, during Casa Amor was aired, but despite her denying anything happened, Davide was doubtful.
After the topic was discussed on Aftersun, Ekin’s family – who are looking after her Instagram account – raged: “The fact that the s**t-shaming is being passed off as banter and good television is very concerning at this rate #LoveIsland.”
Team Indiyah vs Dami
The friends and family visit has been on Dami Hope’s mind for a while, with him asking if Indiyah Polack‘s side would be welcoming towards him.
The hunk is unaware that 23-year-old’s mum Dee has currently got him on probation after his naughty Casa Amor behaviour.
She also issued a warning saying: “Don’t hurt my girl.”
Despite being sceptical of her daughter’s choice, she is rooting for the pair to work out and for Dami, 26, to prove himself to be the perfect man.
Chatting to The Mirror, Dee gave her cautious approval, confessing she had seen some growth in Dami since the Casa drama.
She added: “He has potential. Indi is going at a smooth pace – all the while, she is analysing situations and actions.”
Team Luca vs Team Gemma
While Luca Bish, 23, and Gemma Owen, 19, appear to be the most stable couple in the villa, they’ve had their share of ups and downs.
Throughout the series, Michael Owen and his wife have stayed pretty quiet about Gemma’s partner in Luca.
But that changed after Movie Night, as Gemma’s mum Louise hit out at Luca and Dami, claiming they were bullying Tasha.
When three boys pied her during Snog, Marry, Pie, she wrote: “I hope Tasha is ok, I feel it’s close to bullying now which is so sad to see.”
With Gemma having made it clear their relationship hinges on her parents’ approval, Louise’s comment went viral on Twitter.
Love Island fans speculated what it could mean for the couple, with one tweeting: “Gemma’s mum just gave her seal of rejection for Luca. Looks like Luca’s dream of becoming Michael Owen’s SIL [son-in-law] will never materialise.”
Both boys later apologised to Tasha for their behaviour.
‘Insensitive’
And it’s not Gemma who needs to fear the fishmonger’s family when they arrive – it’s Luca.
After he lost his head in the Movie Night challenge at Billy’s attempts to flirt with Gemma – who shut him down – Luca’s sister Claudia posted an apology to his account, calling out his “insensitive reaction”.
It read: “I know that when he watches it back, he will be embarrassed and deeply apologetic.

“We as his family don’t condone his behaviour last night, but we do understand he is in an intense environment where his actions are heightened.
“Last night was not reflective of the boy we all know and love at home.”
