Love Island first look: Jess left horrified after row with Sammy as he cuts her down with savage comment in challenge
LOVE Island’s Jess will be left horrified tonight after Sammy cuts her down with a savage confession.
The beautician rows with Sammy hours after he picked her in the recoupling and left Leah in floods of tears.
Tonight, Jess is still seething from the argument and can be heard telling Zach that Sammy is “a 22-year-old little boy”.
The islanders then gather for a challenge called Situationships and are told: “It’s time to see if you and your partner can keep your head above water in today’s challenge.”
While sitting in colourful canoes, they’re asked: “Girls, could your partner’s head be turned by someone new?”
Sammy leaves everyone stunned when he writes on his paddle “yes” and blurts out: “I don’t think I’m ready to cut myself off completely after a week-and-a-half of knowing someone.
“It’s hard to believe if someone came in I wouldn’t be interested in getting to know them.”
It comes after fans vowed to report Sammy to Ofcom after his recoupling speech.
The project manager dismissed Leah as “a little test” and showed zero remorse when he snubbed her for Jess.
Standing around the firepit during a surprise daytime recoupling, he said: “I’d like to couple up with this girl because since we met we’ve got this weird, naughty click between us. We’ve got each other laughing and in stitches.
“The last couple of days we’ve had this little test, but talking to other people, I’ve come to realise that they’re not her.”
His remarks struck a nerve and Leah was later seen crying her eyes out inside the villa.
She told co-star Molly: “Sammy just standing up and being like, ‘We’ve had a little test’.
“He was the one pulling me for every single chat, yes I was flirting back, but he was the one giving me them vibes.
“You haven’t for a second pulled me for a chat and said, ‘Oh by the way, just so you know, I’m fully with Jess.’
“Like how are you going to be that flirty with me and say all that stuff and then just stand there and call me a test? I’m a human. That just felt so horrible.”
Wiping away more tears, she added: “I don’t want someone to just use me like a test, that’s just rubbish.”
Continuing her point in the beach hut, she said: “It’s a bit out of order Sammy just standing up there and calling me a test.
“That is so rude. I’m not here to be someone’s test I’m here to find a genuine connection for myself.”
She started to cry again and said: “Yeah, that just genuinely upset me.”
Viewers were not impressed with Sammy’s lack of tact, and one said today: “Catching up with Love Island and if it means I have to submit an Ofcom report by the hr to get Sammy OUT, so be it!”
Another echoed: “Is sammy urging us to make Ofcom complaints about him because what is this behaviour towards Leah.”
And one more raged: “Sammy… what kind of response is this? Can’t even pretend not to be a pr**k omg. OFCOM!!!”
Love Island airs tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
