LOVE Island viewers have called for subtitles to be added to the show as they struggle to understand one of the islanders.

Ben - a private hire taxi driver and model from Gloucester - has raised eyebrows for mumbling his way through various conversations.

One person moaned: “I need subtitles to understand Ben he’s so mumbly.”

A second said: “Can we have subtitles for Ben while he decides on what accent he will be using.”

While a third added that it wasn’t just Ben they couldn’t hear, writing: “Why do so many men mumble nowadays? You're not emasculating yourself by opening your mouth more when you speak.”

Another said: “Lived in England my whole life and I don’t understand some of these accents.  Where’s the subtitles.”

In tense scenes on tonight's Ben calls it quits with Toni after admitting she gave him the ‘ick’ after her reaction to Sophie Lee being sent home.

It quickly turns sour and he tells her: “I don’t feel like me and you have got that spark if I am being honest.”

 

Looking taken aback she replies ‘okay’ as he continues: “That is just me being honest but I know when I have got it with someone. That I feel it straight away. But yeah I don’t feel like you and me have got it.”

Toni tells him: “I mean I don’t think that technique is going to work for you here.”

He asks what she means and she replies: “Right away off the bat.”

Smirking, he responds: “You’d be surprised. I feel like sparks have already been made.”

A very unhappy Toni hits back:  “Good luck pal.”
