LOVE Island fans were left disgusted by Ben Holbrough's 'gross habit' during last night's episode.
ITV2 viewers struggled to conceal their horror when taxi driver Ben, 23, began to bite his fingernails while chatting with the boys outside.
Taking to X, formerly Twitter, to share their dismay, one asked: "Is Ben full on munching his fingernails on tv," alongside crying emojis.
Another bluntly said: "Ben is gross."
Also in the installment, Shakira and Toni's savage comments behind Ben's back were exposed before an explosive row kicked off.
Tensions rose as the girls' critical remarks come to light, triggering a heated argument.
Shakira said, “His presence pi**es me off,” as Toni warned her, “The ick! He likes to throw this word around, maybe you should. Don’t make any rash decisions.”
During a Firepit game, Look Who’s Talking, Islanders read out quotes and try to guess who said them.
Shakira’s comment about Ben, “I don’t know if the conversation is stimulating for my brain, I’m quite a smart girl," was confirmed by the group.
When confronted, Shakira wanted to discuss it with Ben, who replied, “Well, it’s an open discussion,” but disagreed with her explanation.
Ben’s quote about Shakira also came up.
He had said: “I don’t know where she’s at, I don’t know if she’s a respectful girl, I feel like she’s a very flirty girl that didn’t know her boundaries.”
The prompted Shakira to tell him to “pipe down”.
Meanwhile, Toni admitted to saying about Dejon, “I think it goes back to the fact that we see a different side of you when she’s not breathing down your neck,” and stands by the comment.
She said: “It’s true, we do, she knows it.”
- Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
