Love Island fans convinced there was ‘unaired argument' as couple appear VERY frosty after ‘missing scenes'
LOVE Island fans are convinced one couple locked horns in an off-camera spat after appearing VERY frosty on-screen.
It came as the first episode of the matchmaking series - which is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year - kicked off with the unexpected arrival of American bombshell Toni, 24.

Yet before the Las Vegas pool cabana server caused chaos by stealing Ben, fan noted supposed bad blood between one pair.
The show's six couples opening couples - picked by the girls from the dating bios of the lads - were Shakira and Ben, Meg and Dejon, Sophie and Harry, Helena and Conor, Alima and Blu, and Megan and Tommy.
Yet fans now reckon Shakira, 22, who offended swathes of viewers as she made a stark comment about 9-5 jobs, had also irked her partner too.
They noted a strange vibe between the model and taxi driver Ben after they were coupled up, and one fan took to X to muse: "Shakira and Ben are clashing already yikes yikes yikesssss."
Another quizzed: "Did I miss something between Ben and Shakira - why does everyone hate each other?"
A third wrote: "Can we just get a brand new cast I don't like this one."
The awkward attitude came shortly before ITV2 viewers after Shakira was left single - when Toni chose her man to couple up with.
Yet show fans already suspect issues with the new couple, claiming Ben simply "doesn't fancy" the American bombshell.
Meanwhile, others have suggested Meg isn't attracted to Dejon "at all" as the first show twist played out.
Some have even called for one lad to be kicked out - and his partner saved - as the new couples start to get used to each other.
FIESTY CHARACTER
Prior to her time in the villa, Shakira dropped a huge hint about her fiery attitude.
She warmed: "I could argue with a brick wall.
"If arguing was an Olympic sport, I'd have gold medal, and I will just argue in the face I'm even if I'm wrong, I will argue in your face just until, until I have no breath left.
"I'm stubborn."
Shakira added: "I won't go hunting for the drama but if someone wants to pick a fight with me, girls or not, then they're gonna get a response."

Shameless star and Everton manager to be honoured at Windsor Castle
Bafta-winning Shameless actor Anne-Marie Duff and Everton manager David Moyes will be honoured by the Prince of Wales at a ceremony at Windsor Castle on Wednesday. The pair will both be formally made Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) for services to drama and Association Football respectively. They were named in the New Year Honours list. In 2024, Ms Duff, 54, won a best supporting actress Bafta for her lead role as Grace Williams in Apple TV's comedy series Bad Sisters. She also secured awards for playing eldest daughter Fiona Gallagher in Channel 4's Bafta-winning show Shameless. The comedy drama followed a dysfunctional working-class family living on the fictional Chatsworth council estate in Manchester with an alcoholic father. Former Celtic and Preston centre-back player Mr Moyes, 62, went on to manage Manchester United and West Ham. The Glaswegian managed Everton from 2002 to 2013 and returned to the job this year. Chief executive of fashion giant Chanel, Leena Nair, 55, will also be made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE). The British-Indian national became the first female, first Asian, and youngest ever chief human resources officer at consumer goods multinational Unilever.

England national team footballer Millie Bright was made an OBE for services to Association Football but will not now be attending Wednesday's ceremony. The Chelsea defender underwent minor knee surgery last week, the day after she withdrew from the European Championship selection.

Meet Helena Ford: The Air Hostess Who Ditched Her Job for Love
Some of us go for looks, some of us go for personality. Leaving her job behind, meet Helena Ford, one of the Love Island Season 12 girlies who's big on personality and has hopes that at almost 30, she can find her funny prince once and for all. The joint-oldest in the Love Island villa out of the OG girlies this season is Helena Ford. At 29, Helena's sights are on a someone funny and hopefully Northern as she claims they have much more banter is better than Southerners… erm not sure about that. In the first episode of Season 12, Helena made it very clear she's a personality kind of gal, saying she likes them medium-ugly. Humour is top of her checklist, 'You can pretty much laugh me into bed. I like a four out of 10 that's funny', she admits. She's racking up those Avios points as a British Airways air-hostess. She confirmed she has left her cabin crew job but they've kindly said she can come back to her role after the Love Island stint, if needed. Her team don't actually know what should she signed up to… but we're sure they are aware now and probably recruiting to fill her position. She has 12.4k Instagram followers, where she shows less work and more play, island hopping across the likes of South Africa, Ibiza, The Maldives, Turks and Caicos, Bermuda, Dubai and Miami, to name a few! She has a connection to Zara McDermott from Season 4 of Love Island. Helena's friend is besties with Zara but unfortunately the pair didn't get chance to speak before Helena flew to Spain for this season because Zara was wrapped up in filming her new documentary. She is also loosely connected to Justin Bieber! The pop star followed Helena's old twitter account back when she was 13. Claim to fame hunny, we'll take it. As Episode 1 closed, Helena is coupled up with last minute entry to the villa, pro rugby player Conor Phillips but has eyes for semi pro footballer, Harry Cooksley. Most nervous about sharing a room with so many people, we're looking forward to seeing Helena's journey and have no doubt that she'll be doing #ad content before we know it. Season 12 of the hit ITV dating show kicked off on 9 June and is on at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX every day of the week except Saturdays. Afia Kufuor writes celeb news for Grazia, Heat, Closer, Bella and Yours – and loves nothing more than a good interview. From red carpets to radio mics, she's always asking the questions we're all thinking. Off duty, she runs @DontPopThatSpot, a safe space for acne-prone huns online and IRL.
