Love Island fans fumed during Tuesday night’s episode as Casa Amor boy Blade used ‘dirty tactics’ to win over OG Islander Uma.
Casa Amor kicked off on Sunday night and Mimii, Nicole, Jess, Grace, Matilda, and Jessy were introduced to Blade and five more boys.
Blade set his sights on Uma and Grace, and didn’t hold back in his conversations with either women.
Uma is currently happily coupled up with Wil, but Blade quickly sowed doubts in her mind about their relationship.
Blade told Uma: ‘It’s all well and good you feeling like things are going really well and secure and stuff, but, obviously, you want to make sure that that’s being reciprocated from the other person’s end.’
Uma questioned: ‘Do you think that’s not being reciprocated?’
Blade replied: ‘In my honest opinion, no. His eyes were elsewhere other than on you. Where they should be, and rightly so. You know what I’m saying?
‘There was talk among the boys about Wil taking notice of Jessy when she’d come in, quite heavily, but also as well when Matilda come in (sic).
‘So, if you wanted to know my reasons for that, I feel like you deserve to know why I said that.’
Uma seemed appreciative of Blade’s insight but fans at home were appalled.
Taking to X, formerly Twitter, they wrote: ‘Blade and his dirty tactics LOOOOL the boys in the main villa are gonna rush him #loveisland’;
‘Blade and his thick tree bark neck needs to be EXPOSED on movie night. So he is telling Grace and uma the same story woooow #Loveisland’;
‘Not Blade recycling the lines he told Uma to Grace. He really wants to get in that villa sha #loveIsland’;
‘Blade is planting the seed in Uma’s head that Wil is using her, but there’s been no indication of that at all in what we’ve seen #loveisland’;
‘Of course Blade is gonna say Wil isn’t that into Uma, like he has an agenda and that is to get into the main villa #loveisland’.
However, not everyone was so quick to criticise Blade, and some appreciating his honesty. They wrote: ‘I mean if we count the amount of times Will has said “I’m open” & “ I like petite blondes” I guess Blade is spot on with what he’s telling Uma #loveIsland’;
‘I LOVEEEEEE BLADE !!! He is my type of messy! He been clocking all the OG Villa boys tea! He just clocked Wil so bad to Uma! Wil want a petite blonde and that’s not you!!! #Loveisland’.
Elsewhere in the villa, Mimii and Ayo’s relationship was left in tatters when he sprinted to kiss Casa Amor girl Jess S twice.
Love Island airs Sunday to Friday at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
