Monday night’s episode of Love Island saw the boys seemingly forget about their partners back at the villa as they took part in a kissing game with the new girls at Casa Amor.
ITV viewers saw the male contestants sneak out on their partners and head for a ‘boys’ holiday’ at the rival house which has become and annual tradition in an effort to turn heads.
After being introduced to six new girls at Casa Amor, the boys became embroiled in a game of truth or dare which saw many of them kiss girls from the group.
Back in the main villa the girls stayed committed to their partners and only took part in a platonic game of “never have I ever”.
In Casa Amor, the boys did later express guilt that they had taken part in the kissing game but agreed they were just “getting to know” the six new girls.
Viewers took to social media to express their ‘shock’ at the behaviour of the boys.
One viewer tweeted: “I'm really mad at these boys especially Liam.”
“So basically, just expect good looking men to cheat at the first sign of temptation? This is my 'pretending to be shocked' face,” added another.
