Love Island fans have accused Dejon Williams of being a 'game-player' after he declared his love for Meg Moore on Tuesday night.
The episode saw the Islanders' families and friends enter the Mallorca villa to deliver their verdicts, with Meg's mother and sister having some choice words for Dejon.
In awkward scenes, Meg, 25, defended Dejon, 26, as her mother Nathalie and sister Paige warned her about 'letting him away with a lot' before branding him a 'player'.
After the tense meeting, Dejon was quick to take things to the next level with Meg, pulling her on to the terrace to declare his love for her.
'Like the feeling comes, even when I think about you, like this feeling in my chest, but saying it has been hard for me because it's such a big thing,' he told her.
'But honestly like, I do I love you,' he added, prompting a smiling Meg to say the all-important three words back before they shared a kiss.

However, viewers were less than impressed as they took to X - formerly known as Twitter to claim that the declaration was all part of his plan to win the £50,000 prize.
They branded the couple as 'fake' as they claimed it seemed like Dejon had 'studied' previous years of Love Island and had planned the timing for his love declaration.
Comments included: 'Dejon has studied love island sooo well WOW I wouldn't be surprised if these two win at this point';
'Dejon and Meg really going for the ''I love you'' in an attempt to win the £50k... fair';
'The way Dejon has carefully curated the path he's paved with Meg… In the history of Love Island, I don't think we've ever seen anyone as shamelessly calculated and competitive as him. The funniest part? He thinks we don't see it. No good Dej';
'Dejon and Meg the fakest of them all. In the history of love island Uk, this is the fakest I've ever seen, especially Dejon';
'Producers of love island stopppp forcing Megan and Dejon on ussss'; 'Dejon really studied the love island game lol';
'Dejon is never getting past the game player allegations. He's gotta know how this looks - why is he acting like an AI bot who's watched 100 episodes of love island?'
'Like the feeling comes, even when I think about you, like this feeling in my chest, but saying it has been hard for me because it's such a big thing,' he told her

And his fellow Islanders also seemed less than convinced as they received quite the mixed reaction upon telling the group their news.
Though the other Islanders all clapped and cheered them, the truth later came out during a challenge, where they had to share their true feelings on other couples.
The Islanders repeatedly brought up Dejon and Meg's love declaration as they questioned the timing, before they were voted as the 'fakest' couple.
Yasmin Pettet was very vocal after voting for them in the category, recalling how Dejon had repeatedly been caught out for not being truthful about his flirty chats.
She claimed: 'I think there's been a lot of times D where you've been caught out on movie nights or saying certain things and downplaying certain situations with other girls that have been in this villa.
'And I think sometimes it can seem like things have been rushed between you two.'
Toni Laites also voted for them as 'fake' because they never told her about her ex Harrison Solomon having sex with Lauren Wood despite using their 'friendship' as an excuse after arguments.
