Eagle-eyed fans were quick to spot a tooth missing from his upper right set and asked whether it might have happened on the show.

One viewer wrote: "Not to be rude but...what in the dental situation?" along with a picture of Conor and his missing tooth.

But many fans took to reddit to explain that the missing tooth was likely a result of him playing rugby.

This person shared: "Dental implants are very expensive and the process is long. He might not mind missing a side tooth which is fine! Genetic condition or a rugby injury perhaps? It’s really not a big deal or anyone’s place to judge."

A second said: "He’s played full contact rugby for years, I assume that was the cause. From following other players, they won’t get a permanent fix until they retire from rugby because the chance is high it will just get damaged again."

"Conor’s teeth actually give his face character, they suit him. They are clean and look nice. Also he’s a rugby player they tend to lose teeth it’s high contact," a third commented.

Another added: "He’s a rugby player. There is literally no point getting your teeth done before you retire. My husband was missing his front tooth from rugby when I met him…I sorted that straight out ha!"

While several other people defended the star's natural teeth.

This viewer said: "It costs a fortune to get dental implants for regular people. He’s attractive in any case. Better than the Turkey teeth."

"I’d rather have real teeth like this than those piano keys the rest of them have got in their mouths," someone else fumed.

This person posted: "Teeth are unique to people? You’re being rude. We don’t all have turkey teeth! He probably lost it with rugby or whatever but yeah.. his teeth are unique to him."

Conor's time in the villa hasn't been completely plain sailing after love interest Megan was dumped from the villa during a shock public vote.

Since then, actress Megan has revealed that Conor slid into her DMs in the past.

She told heatworld in an interview: "It's so funny, right? So on day one, Conor told me that he followed me on Instagram four years ago, and I never followed him back.

"But then since coming out, I've seen that he follows me on TikTok and he's actually commented on one of my TikToks.

"Again, I've not followed him back or even realised he had commented on one."

She laughed: "So, yeah, it's nice that he's still trying four years later.

"It's worked out for him now, I suppose."

Eagle-eyed fans went wild over the theory that Megan and Conor knew each other before entering the villa - after photos seemingly showed them at the same nightclub.

Old snaps show Megan with a pal in a night club, while another picture supposedly clocks Conor in the same club long before they entered the ITV2 dating show. 

The speculation comes after Megan was voted the least favourite girl by the public after an ugly split from Tommy.

The Irish star was booted out the villa after finding herself in the bottom three girls, along with Shakira, Megan and Toni.

The brunette bombshell's departure followed days of drama after she cracked on with Conor while in a couple with Tommy.
