Love Island fans ‘complaining to Ofcom' after two Islanders clash in awkward scenes
LOVE Island fans said they are "complaining to Ofcom" after two Islanders clashed in very awkward scenes. Viewers were left disgruntled following a tense confrontation between Dejon and Billykiss last night, and the hunk was heard making a cruel jibe. 5 5 5 Earlier this week, the pair got off to a great start when Irish bombshell Billykiss picked Dejon for a date upon arriving in the villa. However, things started to sour when he opted to remain coupled with Meg. Last night, the two were seen having a row, after also arguing the previous day in a challenge. Sitting down for a chat with Billykiss, Dejon said: "The challenge yesterday, a lot of things were said that I don't agree with at all." She then replied that it was "not fair" that Dejon had been leading on her despite knowing his "heart is with Meg." Continuing, she tried to explain how the situation was making her and Meg feel - but the villa boy kept shutting her down. Dejon then shocked fans when he cruelly said to a stunned Billykiss: "You're not someone that I would want to get to know in here, or on the outside, from the conversations that we've had." After this mean remark the bombshell tried to say her piece, but Dejon stood up and told her: "Alright Billykiss. I'm not going to keep begging to speak." And he walked off. The way that Dejon spoke to Billykiss did not sit well with fans. Taking to social media, one said: "Complaining to @Ofcom Love Island. Allowing Dejon to speak to BillyKiss like that is not appropriate. "You need to do better, that was so bloody awful to watch." While another added: "That comment from Dejon! "That was HORRID and such a show of his character. "I honestly rate Billykiss for standing her ground during that conversation." This one vented: "That was a horrible scene to watch play out." Things between Dejon and Billykiss took a nasty turn on Thursday's episode during the Superman-inspired game when she asked him about how "his future" with meg.
