Love Island fans fumed over a “wild” All Stars twist on Monday (February 16), as they asked, “What’s going on?”
The third series of the popular spin-off returned to ITV2 last month, with a group of ex-islanders returning to the South African villa for another shot at romance.
Audiences have already seen lots of heated clashes, numerous bombshell entrances, and surprise dumpings over the past few weeks. Belle Hassan has found herself embroiled in several dramatic scenarios, after Lucinda Strafford formed a bond with her partner Sean Stone whilst she was in villa USA.
Belle’s exchanges with Lucinda and Sean have remained frosty in recent episodes. More drama unfolded when Belle began getting to know Scott van-der-Sluis, much to the annoyance of his partner Leanne Amaning, reports OK!.
The surprises continued when Sher Suarez and Jack Keating became the latest pair to exit the villa last week, after receiving the most votes in a nail-biting game of To Be Honest.
Sunday’s (February 15) episode saw the girls receive heartfelt phone calls from home, with the stars resolved to leave the drama behind them. The confrontations appeared to be put on hold during tonight’s episode, with Belle declaring that she was “retiring” from the drama.
As they prepared for the day, Sean attempted to reconcile with Belle, stating: “We had a night off Belle. No drama.”
Belle responded: “I’m retiring now,” prompting Sean to enquire: “Can we retire together?” Belle confirmed: “Yeah, the storms clearing. No more hurricane.”
Sean then questioned whether they could be “best friends”, with the former partners subsequently sharing a hug. Belle also resolved matters with Scott at the firepit, whilst Leanne and Lucinda observed from the daybeds.
Love Island viewers were baffled by the sudden shift in atmosphere, with many taking to X (formerly Twitter) to voice their opinions. “The switch up is wild today, what’s going on?” one viewer questioned.
Another commented: “I’m so tired of this storyline,” whilst a third remarked: “The switch up is crazy. Surely the producers have got involved to sort all the drama?”
A fourth fan expressed similar frustration, stating: “Belle couldn’t make it any more obvious she was pulled my producers. Every second it’s, ‘Hurricane Belle is over,’ or, ‘I’m so glad the drama is over’. I’m so tired,” with another equally puzzled viewer sharing: “I’m confused how Belle can make amends with Scott AND Sean but not Lucinda or Leanne? Why is she always 10x angrier at the girl and not the boy?”
Elsewhere during tonight’s instalment, the couples tested their connections in a game of Knowing Me, Knowing You. Following their defeat in the challenge, Whitney Adebayo and Yemen Sanders deepened their bond over a date, whilst Sean asked Lucinda to become his girlfriend.
Love Island All Stars airs Sunday to Friday on ITV2 and ITVX at 9pm
