Love Island fans have claimed Dejon Williams has 'shown his true colours' with the TV show comment and say he and Megan Moore 'won't last three months'.
Viewers were left outraged after they witnessed Dejon be confronted by girlfriend Megan over his romantic confession for show favourite, Yasmin Pettet.
On the show Dejon, 26, has come under fire for his behaviour towards Meg, 25, after keeping her around but continuously flirting with every bombshell that enters the villa.
And while the couple have appeared to go from strength to strength as they are now officially boyfriend and girlfriend and confessed that they 'love' each other.
But there seems to be trouble in paradise as Meg told Dejon he had not been completely honest once again about his antics around Yas.
During a game of Knowing Me, Knowing You, the islanders were asked who they would couple up with if they were not with their current partners.
Dejon confessed that he would couple up with Yas because he has previously explored that connection earlier in the season.
The comment shocked Meg as she explained Dejon had never expressed that she would be his number two in the competition before.
This unsettled Dejon and he accused Meg of trying to make him look bad in front of the cameras.
Speaking at the fire pit Dejon quipped: 'You're trying to make me look bad. And I don't understand why you are trying to make me look bad.'
In defence, Megan replied: 'I am not trying to make you look bad' which prompted Dejon to say: 'At the time, Billykiss was also in the villa. I said to Yas you are my number one.
'And then after you, it would be if I had to, it would be Yas and Billykiss.'
Megan replied 'yeah' to which Dejon remarked, 'so you do remember the conversation?'
Smiling, she explained, 'yeah I do remember you say that' but Dejon cut her off and added, 'I know but I know what I am saying. You just tried to act like I didn't tell you that. That's a big thing.'

Megan tried to finish her explanation and continued, 'no but you didn't say the words, if Meg wasn't there then she would be your number one priority. You didn't say them words, you said if Meg wasn't there, then it would be Yasmin and Billykiss.'
This conversation sparked outrage among viewers as they claimed he was controlling and was gaslighting her.
Taking to X, one penned: 'all my disdain for meg aside the way dejon speaks to her is so off putting and uncomfortable. if he is gaslighting her and speaking to her like that infront of cameras on a national tv show what on earth will he be like behind close doors'
'the gaslighting from dejon here is CRAZY. meg is literally calm and collected and didn't even say there was an issue, just said how she felt. for someone who didn't care what other people thought of him, dejon seems to care way too much'
'dejon lowkey scary look at how he looks genuinely annoyed at meg for getting things wrong and belittled her after it… i don't even like her but free her fr'
'That conversation between Meg and Dejon was a masterclass in emotional abuse. Ladies in real life make sure you never let a man speak to you like that'
'blu tells dejon that meg isn't that popular outside the villa and suddenly dejon is picking fights with her'
'Dejon knows the public hate him and now he's looking to blame Meg for that'
'DEJON DEFLECTING AND BLAMING MEG. HOW DARE YOU SAY BECAUSE THE CAMERAS ARE AROUND YOU ARE TRYING TO MAKE ME LOOK BAD. EWWWWWWWW. TOXIC BEHAVIOR AGAIN.'
Love Island fans have already accused Dejon of being a 'game-player' after he declared his love for Meg on Tuesday night.

The episode saw the Islanders' families and friends enter the Mallorca villa to deliver their verdicts, with Meg's mother and sister having some choice words for Dejon.
In awkward scenes, Meg defended Dejon as her mother Nathalie and sister Paige warned her about 'letting him away with a lot' before branding him a 'player'.
After the tense meeting, Dejon was quick to take things to the next level with Meg, pulling her on to the terrace to declare his love for her.
'Like the feeling comes, even when I think about you, like this feeling in my chest, but saying it has been hard for me because it's such a big thing,' he told her.
'But honestly like, I do I love you,' he added, prompting a smiling Meg to say the all-important three words back before they shared a kiss.

However, viewers were less than impressed as they took to X - formerly known as Twitter to claim that the declaration was all part of his plan to win the £50,000 prize.
They branded the couple as 'fake' as they claimed it seemed like Dejon had 'studied' previous years of Love Island and had planned the timing for his love declaration.
Comments included: 'Dejon has studied love island sooo well WOW I wouldn't be surprised if these two win at this point';
'Dejon and Meg really going for the ''I love you'' in an attempt to win the £50k... fair';
'The way Dejon has carefully curated the path he's paved with Meg… In the history of Love Island, I don't think we've ever seen anyone as shamelessly calculated and competitive as him. The funniest part? He thinks we don't see it. No good Dej';
'Dejon and Meg the fakest of them all. In the history of love island Uk, this is the fakest I've ever seen, especially Dejon';
'Producers of love island stopppp forcing Megan and Dejon on ussss'; 'Dejon really studied the love island game lol';
'Dejon is never getting past the game player allegations. He's gotta know how this looks - why is he acting like an AI bot who's watched 100 episodes of love island?'
'Like the feeling comes, even when I think about you, like this feeling in my chest, but saying it has been hard for me because it's such a big thing,' he told her

And his fellow Islanders also seemed less than convinced as they received quite the mixed reaction upon telling the group their news.
Though the other Islanders all clapped and cheered them, the truth later came out during a challenge, where they had to share their true feelings on other couples.
The Islanders repeatedly brought up Dejon and Meg's love declaration as they questioned the timing, before they were voted as the 'fakest' couple.
Yasmin was very vocal after voting for them in the category, recalling how Dejon had repeatedly been caught out for not being truthful about his flirty chats.
She claimed: 'I think there's been a lot of times D where you've been caught out on movie nights or saying certain things and downplaying certain situations with other girls that have been in this villa.
'And I think sometimes it can seem like things have been rushed between you two.'
Toni Laites also voted for them as 'fake' because they never told her about her ex Harrison Solomon having sex with Lauren Wood despite using their 'friendship' as an excuse after arguments.
