Love Island viewers criticise producers for 'breaking the fourth wall' as they allow Blu to reveal drama from his time on the outside

Daily Mail​2 days ago
Love Island viewers criticised the producers for 'breaking the fourth wall' during Wednesday's episode when they allowed Blu to discuss the outside.
In a shock twist former contestants Blu and Megan re-entered the villa last week despite being dumped and fans are the show aren't happy.
Upon his return, Blu wasted no time in revealing drama from his time on the outside and relayed information to the boys.
Dejon was speaking to Blu and Harry about Megan and said: 'You know how much I love Megan but I just feel like the first time Megan came in compared to this time is completely different.'
Blu asked: 'Is that because she's been on the outside?'
He then went on to reveal what had happened during their time back at home and explained: 'Megan and Tommy were speaking before they came in here. I've heard it.'
Blue continued: 'When Tommy and Lucy were in Tape [London club], cracking on... she was fuming.'
Dejon asked: 'Connor is our boy man, it's such a hard situation to be in. Don't you think we should tell him?'
Harry agreed and added: 'We have to chat with Con, mate.'
Megan and Conor's relationship was cut short when she was dumped but her return saw them reunite.
Going over to chat with Connor, Harry passed on the news and said: 'Lucy was getting with Tommy and Megan was behind and she was fuming.'
Connor questioned: 'Fuming that Lucy and Tommy were getting together?'
Blu added: 'She's going to tell you that it's a lie and come at me but that is what I saw.'
Fans at home were left furious over the conversation and aired their feelings on X: 'This is why producers shouldn't bring back previous islanders…';
Others shared: 'Nooo this needs to be like Big Brother, if you're talking about what you know on the outside you need to be dumped. Get Blu gone'; 'I don't like this outside intel';
'Producers allowing Blu to give away the whole dynamic??'; 'No because doesn't that fully defeat the entire purpose of the show??';
'Surely there's some sort of policy/contract breaking here Blu telling the opinions and info from the outside people shouldn't be allowed to be brought back after being dumped!!!'
Love Island fans have already accused Blu of ''stirring drama' to get more 'air time' as the final approaches.
The former dumped Islander returned to the villa on Tuesday alongside Megan after being the second contestant to leave the show earlier in the season.
During Friday night's episode, the Spanish lad had plenty to say about Toni during the infamous Grafties.
As part of the game, a clip was shown of Cach - who Toni had previously split from to pursue things with Harrison - crying on the terrace.
Fans at home were left furious over the conversation and aired their feelings on X: 'This is why producers shouldn't bring back previous islanders…'
After the clip was shown, Blu turned to Toni and said: 'Did you see what you did to Cach?'
Toni quickly responded: 'Shut the f* up, talk about situations that you've been here for.'
Blu hit back: 'What you on about? I am here now, so I can speak if I want to.'
Yasmin then jumped in to defend Toni, saying: 'She was upset about that though, she was crying about that too. She wasn't heartless about it — she was genuinely really upset.'
After the game wrapped, Blu pulled Toni for a chat in the outside lounge.
'I don't agree with what you said,' Blu began. 'Like, I have respect for you, but if I have something to say - my opinion - and then you have your opinion, which is completely fine, why are you being hypocritical?'
Toni replied: 'I just feel like you're involving yourself with something that has nothing to do with you.'
Blue said: 'We're all sat around here, we all live in the same villa. I can have my own opinion - just like you always have your own opinion.'
You've been outside watching it,' Toni said.
'Exactly,' Blu fired back before Toni continued: 'You know how I felt. You saw me sit there crying. When I apologised to Cach, was I not up on the terrace bawling my eyes out?'
After the game wrapped, Blu pulled Toni for a chat in the outside lounge
'I don't agree with what you said,' Blu began. 'Like, I have respect for you, but if I have something to say - my opinion - and then you have your opinion, which is completely fine, why are you being hypocritical?'
Toni replied: 'I just feel like you're involving yourself with something that has nothing to do with you.'
'"Toni how do you feel?" - you know how I felt. I don't understand what you want.'
'You can make Cach cry and that's fine?' Blu said.
Toni responded: 'Did I ever say that it was fine?
Blu responded: 'You've just done the same thing.'
Toni said: 'I'm not going to lie to you. I literally don't care about this conversation.'
Blu dismissed her with: 'Pfft, all right... so I have the right to have my own opinion and voice my own opinion. What are you on about?'
'Go for it. I don't care,' Toni added.
Blu then said: 'OK cool, so don't tell me I can't put my two pence in when you're the one always putting your f*ing 50p in.'
'I still don't get what the point here is,' Toni question.
Blu replied: 'Are you trying to belittle me or something? I'm pulling you here because I genuinely think you're a nice girl and I'm trying to, like, brush it under the f*ing bridge.'
Toni pushed back: 'Then why were you trying to get a reaction out of me? Did you want me to say I'm sorry again?'
Blu replied: 'Can I not ask my question? I'm asking a question. So you can ask a question but I can't ask my question?'
Toni said: 'But I was involved.'
Blu shot back: 'What are you on about? So? I'm involved now and I can ask my question.'
At that point, Toni stood up and walked away from the conversation.
Blu muttered: 'You walk away when it's convenient for you to walk away - coz you know I'm fing right. Absolute fu**ing weirdo.'

Parenthood with Sir David (not Steve Martin) By Paul Glynn, culture reporterSir David Attenborough returns to BBC One on Sunday with a new five-part wildlife series showing how parents from across the animal kingdom sacrifice everything in order to raise their spoilers but this is quite literally true in the case of the African social spiders who, as we discover in Parenthood, eat their mothers and elderly relatives alive.

Cruz and Romeo Beckham show off family's £16m superyacht as they pose with dad David – after blocking Brooklyn in feud

CRUZ and Romeo Beckham posed alongside dad David as they showed off their family's £16m superyacht. The family trio all looked in good spirits as they soaked up the sun together. 5 5 Taking to Instagram, Cruz shared a series of snaps including on the superyacht. He captioned the post: "Sorry I don't have more speedos pictures." He was joined in the snap by brother Romeo and While a third chimed in: "Lovely picture with your brother." It comes as eldest son Brooklyn, 26, and wife Nicola Peltz, 30, have reportedly been keeping their distance from his family, This originated after they failed to attend David's 50th birthday party earlier this year. The Sun revealed Brooklyn and Nicola were left "blindsided" after Romeo and Cruz seemingly blocked them on social media. It was initially thought that Brooklyn and Nicola had unfollowed his younger siblings but those close to the couple said this was not true. A friend said: 'Brooklyn had no idea about any of this until he read about it online. 'It's possible Romeo and Cruz blocked them, which would make it appear as no longer following the brothers 'They certainly didn't unfollow them or block them - they're as confused as anyone else. 'The first they heard about it was when it was being reported on.' The Beckham Family Feud April 2022: Brooklyn marries Nicola Peltz. Wedding Dress Controversy: Rumours begin circulating that there's tension between Nicola and Victoria Beckham after Nicola chooses not to wear a Victoria Beckham -designed wedding gown. Nicola later clarifies in August 2022 (and again in March 2023) that Victoria's atelier couldn't make the dress in time, but reports in May 2025 suggest Victoria actually changed her mind about making the dress. Post-Wedding (2022 onwards): Minimal interaction between Nicola and Victoria on social media, and noticeable absence of Nicola at key Beckham family events. Alleged Wedding "Hijack": In May 2025, a source claimed Victoria "ruined" part of the wedding by allegedly hijacking a dance with Marc Anthony, which was meant for Brooklyn and Nicola. Nicola reportedly ran from the room crying. March 2025: A resurfaced TikTok of Romeo and Cruz mimicking a "baby voice" (which fans associate with Nicola) sparks speculation of sibling shade. April 2025: Brooklyn and Nicola are reportedly absent from Victoria Beckham's 51st birthday celebrations in Miami and her Paris Fashion Week show. May 2025: David Beckham's 50th Birthday Snub: Brooklyn and Nicola are notably absent from David Beckham's 50th birthday celebrations in London, despite being invited. Reports suggest their absence was due to Brooklyn not wanting to be in the same room as Kim Turnbull, the girlfriend of Romeo who had previously been reported to have been dating Brooklyn, who David allegedly opted to have at the party over Nicola. Rumours emerge of a falling out between Brooklyn and his younger brother Romeo, reportedly due to Romeo's new girlfriend, DJ Kim Turnbull, who allegedly had a past connection with Brooklyn. Reports surface that the Beckham parents are "hurt and disappointed" that Brooklyn is "playing no part in family life." Sources claim that tensions between Brooklyn and Nicola and his parents are "definitely not beyond repair." June 2025: Brooklyn and Nicola reportedly enlist a "crisis team" similar to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for "reputation management" due to the growing media scrutiny. Cruz Beckham posts cryptic lyrics on Instagram that some interpret as a swipe at Brooklyn. July 2025: Reports indicate David and Victoria are "desperate" to reconcile with Brooklyn. Brooklyn publicly wishes his sister Harper a happy 14th birthday on Instagram, tagging Nicola, which is seen as a potential "olive branch" and a rare public message to his family amid the rumored rift. Brooklyn UNFOLLOWS his brothers Romeo and Cruz just 24 hours after his birthday message to Harper. Nicola quickly follows suit and also ditches the Beckham bros from her Instagram following. Romeo and Cruz are now also no longer following Brooklyn. 5
