Love Island bombshell gets on wrong side of show's stars with 'karma' date

What did you miss?

Love Island's newest bombshell has managed to get on the wrong side of the cast before even meeting most of them - but viewers have been calling out the hypocrisy.

Lolly Hart entered a hidden area of the villa to meet three boys, but her choice of Joey Essex, Konnor Ewudzi and Ciaran Davies went down badly.

However, viewers thought Jessy Potts was being a hypocrite for calling the new Islander "disrespectful" by choosing to date Joey.

What, how, and why?

Another day in the Love Island villa, another new love interest for Joey Essex as he has been targeted by a Bombshell once again.

The TOWIE star ditched original partner Samantha Kenny for his ex Grace Jackson when she arrived on the show, claiming he only had eyes for their rekindled romance.

But he quickly turned his back on a furious Grace when a new contestant, Jessy Potts, walked in and grabbed his attention.

Joey displayed his usual warning signs of imminent heartbreak as he told Jessy in Thursday's episode: "Obviously, I haven't got eyes for anyone else," and she replied: "Me neither, not in the slightest."

So when the contestants got a text that bombshell Lolly Hart had arrived and wanted to meet three boys, naming Joey as the first one, Jessy understandably started to panic.

On the date, Joey told Lolly: "I can't fully say we're closed off, but for my head to turn, it would take a lot."

Meanwhile, an anxious Jessy told her former love rival Grace: "Karma's a b***h and she's called Lolly," adding: "I mean it's ironic, isn't it - I did the same thing to you so I have no leg to stand on."

She seemed rattled later as Joey told her what had happened on the date, saying she felt that Lolly had been "disrespectful" towards her.

But one viewer commented on X: "Was it disrespectful when you snatched Joey from Grace, Jessy ?"

Someone else wrote: "Grace is not even trying to comfort Jessy. She is like “it’s exactly what you did to me, YES”."

Another person added: "Jessy you’re grasping at straws, you did the same to Grace get over it."

Jessy wasn't the only Islander who took an instant dislike to Lolly, as she also picked Ciaran Davies to meet despite him being in a committed couple with Nicole Samuel.

Nicole looked angry at the new girl's move, calling it "weird".

One viewer agreed, commenting: "Why on earth did Lolly pick Cieron?!?! Like, she could have picked Ruben or Ayo... shes got more chance with one of the other lasses than she has with Cieron."

Someone else added: "Lolly better sleep with 1 eye open in that villa."

What else happened on Love Island?

The Islanders were reeling from the mass dumping the night before that saw original contestant Jess White as well as Emma Milton, Hugo Godfroy and Blade Siddiqi voted out of the show.

Nicole Samuel was left in tears at best friend Jess being sent home by the viewers, while Mimii Ngulube appeared to give away that she still harboured feelings for ex Ayo Odukoya as she was visibly upset when it looked as though he would be in the running to leave.

In a chat with Joey Essex afterwards, Ayo admitted that despite now being in a couple with Jessica Spencer, he still had feelings for his original partner Mimii. He looked increasingly uncomfortable speaking to Jessica and was honest with many of the others in the villa that his holiday romance with Mimii was far from over.

Love Island airs on ITV2 at 9pm.
