Wednesday’s episode focused on the fallout from yesterday’s surprise twist, with OG couples Sammy and Jess Harding and Mitchel Taylor and Leah Taylor officially becoming single in a surprise twist.
Sammy, 22, previously accused Scott Van Der Sluis and Catherine of not being “compatible” in the final vote and questioned their “physical” attraction to each other.
Catherine and Whitney Adebayo pulled Sammy aside and demanded to know why he said she and Scott were not physically attracted to each other.
Although he emphasized that she is a “beautiful,” Catherine ended up in tears over his “lack” of understanding.
Viewers immediately offered their perspective on the situation, with one person writing, “As a dark-skinned black woman, I know why Cathrine is upset, there’s more to the comment Sammy made.”
One other added, “Many black women have felt the frustration that Cathrine expresses. It is such a f***ing feeling.’
A 3rd weighed in: “Black women on love island who’re seen as undesirable is the worst factor about watching.”
Sammy later spoke to Catherine once more to apologise, admitting that he had merely meant that she and Scott weren’t a “sensitive” couple, somewhat than commenting on any bodily attraction.
The 22-year-old infuriated followers on yesterday’s episode after admitting, “With out sounding very unhealthy, I used to be Jess’ kind.
‘She wasn’t mine. I am the one who form of labored to… strive one thing new, discover Jess, and now she’s attempting to play video games. Nah!’
Love Island continues tomorrow at 9pm on ITV2.
