Love Island is watched by so many people that every contestant on the show has got their fans, even Adam Collard (we assume, we've not met any of them).

So when their favourite hopeful doesn't get much – or any – screentime, you can be sure those watching at home will let you know they aren't happy.

That's what happened with last night's (June 19) instalment of the mammoth ITV2 reality show, with fans even getting 'Where is Samira' trending.

Cue tweets that all include the phrase 'Where is Samira':

This year's series of Love Island has come under fire for the lack of diversity in its line-up, with even former Islanders and voiceover man Iain Stirling himself calling for a greater range of ages, body shapes and ethnicities.

As of one of the few non-white contestants on this year's show, it's easy to see why fans are annoyed that Samira Mighty isn't getting the airtime. There's also the fact that she turned down Star Trek and Wonder Woman actor Chris Pine to come on the show.

It turns out that Samira actually knew fellow contestant Charlie Frederick before entering the show, although we say 'knew each other', what we actually mean is they matched on Tinder and never met up. Standard.

Love Island airs nightly on ITV2 at 9pm.
