LOVE Island viewers have blasted an "awkward" change to the show's format as the Islanders enjoyed their final evening in the villa.
This year, after enjoying their final dinner together, the Islanders all remained seated as they delivered passionate speeches to one another about their time in the show and their romances with one another.
In an unusual move, the finalists did not stand up in front of one another to deliver their messages - which are akin to wedding vows.
It left fans insisting the whole segment was "awkward" especially given that the major final dates were axed for this year's series.
It has even seen some fans blame ITV budget cuts for the lack of dates and the "awkward" final scenes.
Writing online, one Love Island viewer penned: "Love Island clearly spent their budget on blu’s flights because why are there no real final dates and WHY are the final speeches so awkward???"
Another added: "This is so f***ing awkward at least get them to stand up."
Before a third echoed: "How awkward must it feel to sit and speak to you partner whilst everyone is looking at you in silence, I couldn’t be on this show."
This year's final four saw Angel and Ty, Shakira and Harry, Toni and Cach and Yasmin and Jamie vying to be crowned the winners as well as taking home the £50,000 prize.
Later in the episode, the show was rocked by a double cheating shock.
Tommy Bradley confessed to snogging the same girl as Ben Holborough behind Lucy Quinn's back.
Tommy had been romancing Lucy after they left the villa but despite enjoying a few dates, it all crumbled when he enjoyed a smooch with another woman on a night out.
Speaking to host Maya Jama on Love Island, hunky Tommy confessed his budding romance was over after his actions.
Admitting he acted "disrespectfully", he told Maya how he "messed up" for going behind Lucy's back for the secret snog.
But in another shock, it was later revealed that Tommy had kissed the same girl that Ben had also cheated on partner Andrada with.
The Sun told how Ben had been pictured all over The Only Way Is Essex star Dani Imbert at a glitzy showbiz event with the pair reportedly going on to enjoy a series of snogs together.
It is likely to spark speculation that Dani is also the woman in question in the middle of Tommy and Lucy's romance.
