Love Island viewers slam 'disrespectful' Dejon for his 'rude' behaviour towards Yasmin as tensions in the VERY divided villa bubble over
The Islanders all took part in a kissing game on the episode where they rated each other's snogging abilities.
But Dejon made his disdain for the game clear in not wanting to properly kiss any girl apart from his partner Meg.
The other Islanders were quick to share their theories on why saying he just wants to look good to the public.
Yasmin went to call him out at the end of the episode but when he was approached by her for a chat he rudely said 'I'm going to decline' as he was busy eating a snack.
Taken aback Yasmin then had to walk off after politely asking for a chat as she told the other girls how 'rude' she thought he was.
Viewers at home were quick to comment on the awkward moment as they penned on X: 'Ugh get Dejon OFF my screen NOW #loveisland #loveislanduk.',
'I'm going to decline' Dejon is the most DISRESPECTFUL man on this show, declined then had the audacity to laugh about it, he's a walking ICK and needs to go #LoveIsland.',
'dejon you do NOT speak to yasmin like that #LoveIsland #LoveIslandUK.',
'Dejon declining Yasmins chat?? He's straight up rude I need him out of my villa #loveislanduk #loveisland.',
'Not Dejon declining the chat. Yasmin should have thrown that pasta at him #LoveIsland #LoveIslandUK.',
'dejon doesn't need to enjoy everyones kisses but there's no need to be absolutely disrespectful to the girls to please meg. #loveisland.',
'Cannot believe Meg likes how dejon puts down every other girl to make her feel more uplifted #LoveIsland #LoveIslandUK.',
'The villa is AWAKE bc the way they've almost all got Dejon clocked #loveisland #loveislanduk.',
Yasmin went to call him out at the end of the episode but when he was approached by her for a chat he rudely said 'I'm going to decline' as he was busy eating a snack
Viewers at home were quick to comment on the awkward moment as they penned on X: 'Ugh get Dejon OFF my screen NOW #loveisland #loveislanduk'
'dejon is practically reading off a script at this point bro why is he so desperate for that 50k #loveisland #loveislanduk.',
As the kissing challenge kicked off, most boys enthusiastically delivered their scores and feedback.
However Dejon's feedback dampened the mood saying: 'That kiss was two words… no good. Zero out of ten.'
Toni questioned his involvement: 'Are you not participating in today's game?'
Later, at the Firepit, Yasmin, Toni and Shakira discussed Dejon's approach to the challenge.
Yasmin stated: 'We all saw what happened in the challenge today with Dejon. In a lot of these scenarios he goes on the attack straight away. His comments were just rude and he didn't need to be that nasty. He's obviously trying to play things safe because he's exclusive with Meg… I'm going to speak to him.'
Elsewhere, Emma discussed the same issue with Cach, saying of Dejon: 'Why does he behave like that? I just don't get it, he's such bad vibes all round.'
Earlier in the day Emma got a text, reading: 'Islanders, pucker up and prepare to bring the passion.
He criticised multiple kisses, referring to them as 'no good' and even saying he didn't think it could get worse
'It's time to find out who's the ultimate snogger in today's kissing competition #LipsDontLie #SnogLikeYouMeanit.'
The girls proceeded to kiss the boys who are blindfolded, and wearing headphones with music playing.
Each kiss was rated out of ten, with the highest score determining the winner. Between rounds, the music paused so the boys can hear each other's scores and feedback.
Toni hosted the game, asking the group 'Who's ready to get their snog on?' and kept track of scores on a blackboard.

Sister's mix tape left Elbow's Guy Garvey in tears
"It all started off with stuff I'd heard that he hadn't that I knew he was going to love."The sister of Elbow frontman Guy Garvey has told how his love of music was inspired by mix tapes she made for him, beginning in the Garvey, who is now a BBC 6 music producer, said he was even left in tears by one she made, which included an orchestral version of Joni Mitchell's A Case of heard it over lunch in the Granada TV canteen in Manchester in the late 1990s, where she worked at the time, just before Elbow got signed. She said she had been excited to see his reaction to the opening song and when she saw him cry she was thinking "result" whereas he was "looking around thinking... people from Coronation Street are over there watching me blubbing". Beckie was speaking about the influence her mix tapes had on her brother as the BBC launches Mix Tape, a drama looking at two teenagers bonding over their love of music in the said she made the mix tapes for Guy - from Bury, Greater Manchester - to introduce him to different music and she would set aside a day to do this."It was a labour of love," she said. "It was partly to impress him but it was mostly to educate him and share something because that sharing of music is such an emotional thing." Beckie said she started making mix tapes in the late 1970s and started making them for Guy in the mid 1980s, with her last cassette produced about 2000, when the minidisc arrived. But even now she makes compilation CDs for her nephew. Music had always been a big part of the Garvey family's life, she said, and she used to make mix tapes for all her said she would "put all sorts on there - Joan Armatrading, Chet Baker, Ella Fitzgerald, Genesis". Home-made mix tapes recorded on blank cassettes were a way of putting a play list together long before the advent of online play lists."Making an online playlist is very quick and you can mess about with the order and things like that, whereas when you're doing a mix tape most of it is in the planning and you really put time, thought and effort into it," she said she would sometimes add speech to the mix, something which could not be done via online recounted one occasion where she added a clip of the "beautiful soporific voice" of actor Anthony Hopkins reciting the WB Yeats poem, He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven to a mix tape for from the 1987 film, 84 Charing Cross Road, Beckie said this was the perfect complement to some "beautiful music" and she "put it on the beginning of a tape to help him sleep".Beckie said "Guy was a listener like me" and she knew he would succeed as soon as he started making Garvey is a three-time Ivor Novello song-writing award winner.

Why Mariah Carey is such a big deal for Brighton
Summer 2025 has seen an Oasis homecoming in Manchester, Black Sabbath's farewell concert in Birmingham and now international superstar Mariah Carey set to perform in Brighton. The five-times Grammy winner, who has sold more than 220 million albums worldwide, performs in Preston Park in the city on Saturday night as the headline act at Brighton & Hove a private jet on Wednesday, Carey posted on TikTok: "Nothing beats going to Brighton Pride."But what has brought the All I Want for Christmas is You singer to Brighton and what boost could she give the city? The simple answer is that Mariah Carey is fulfilling a promise made to fans and Pride's organisers in 2020. She had been booked to headline that year, but Covid-19 kicked in and the event was cancelled, leaving many "gutted".Five years on she's finally coming to the East Sussex seaside city, promoting her forthcoming 16th studio album Here For It All. Brighton is one of only a handful of venues worldwide where Carey has announced concerts in Pride is one of the largest events of its kind in Europe. Paul Kemp, Brighton & Hove Pride managing director, told BBC Radio Sussex: "Mariah is on her way and is really excited. "This really puts our city on the map."Brighton and Hove as an events city really punches above its weight." Mr Kemp went on to tease fans: "I've heard there might be a surprise - a legendary moment."But I can't say any more."She is still relevant, she's still a diva and I just can't wait." Carey joins the ranks of divas who have played at Brighton Pride in recent years in front of tens of thousands of fans, including Britney Spears and Kylie. The 56-year-old has been a long-standing supporter of the LGBT+ community and played Los Angeles Pride in her career began in the late 1980s, she has had three UK number one singles and two UK number one albums. Birgit Miller, the councillor responsible for tourism at Brighton & Hove City Council, said Carey's appearance was a "big deal".She said: "Pride is a huge event for the city and brings in a benefit of around £30m to Brighton's economy. "That is really important for our hospitality and tourism."I am so looking forward to Mariah."

Thrill-seeker to attempt to ride 120 rollercoasters in UK in just over two weeks
A thrill-seeking man is to begin an attempt to ride every rollercoaster in the UK in little over two weeks. Dean Stokes, 36, believes he will become the first person to achieve the feat if he can succeed in riding 120 coasters across 32 theme parks in 16 days, starting in Brighton and ending at Thorpe Park. Mr Stokes worked for five years at Google before leaving the corporate ladder to set up his own business delivering technology training, having grown tired of being unable to try new things. The former UK head of Google for Education decided to set up his own YouTube channel as part of his new work and has already seen his videos about his planned adventure viewed hundreds of thousands of times across social media platforms. Mr Stokes, from Brighton, in East Sussex, told his former Google colleague Simon Fasolo, 44, about his plan to travel the UK in pursuit of the aim. And Mr Fasolo, from Perth, Australia, decided it would be a great way to explore the country – despite hating rollercoasters himself and refusing to join his friend on the rides. The two will begin at Brighton Palace Pier, home to the Crazy Mouse and Turbo rollercoasters, and, according to the route map on the website, hope to have conquered four parks and eight rides in total by the end of the first day. Mr Stokes said: 'I've ridden over 100 rollercoasters in around 25 different theme parks across 10 different countries. 'But I still haven't actually ridden loads of rollercoasters in the UK, so I just thought, why not? ' One of the reasons I left the corporate world was to have a bit more variety in the work that I do and so starting the YouTube channel on the tech side was part of that. 'And I just thought, if I was going to make a channel that was completely different to that, what would it be? And it would probably be rollercoasters and theme parks because I'm a big fan. 'I've included every rollercoaster that's classed as a thrill or extreme rollercoaster, to avoid family and children's rides. But we plan to do all of them consecutively. 'As far as I know, I think I'll be the first person to do it – the only person mad enough to do it.' Mr Stokes said he is open to ideas or suggestions from his followers on social media of tasks within the challenge. The duo have booked around half of the hotels, and plan to travel in a hire car, but delays and unforeseen issues could lead to a stressful journey. He said: 'I think it's going to be quite a lot of stress at points, but I'm looking forward to it overall. 'On social media, I realised it was really resonating with people. 'I think people want to go out and have fun and I think that often we are too scared to get out and just do the things that we love, especially as adults. 'There's this whole community out there that loves theme parks, whether they're proper enthusiasts or just people that like going in the summer with their family, and they are now really excited to follow my progress.' He added: 'Someone commented and said it is the UK theme park enthusiast's dream. It might be difficult, so I'll have to decide whether it feels like a dream at the end of it or not. There are theme parks the two plan to visit across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, and they are planning on driving to Dublin for an extra set of rides in the Republic of Ireland. Mr Stokes is excited to support many of the amusement parks which are run as independent businesses, as well as visiting historic seaside resorts, such as Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach, which is over a hundred years old. He has asked for permission to film for his YouTube, TikTok and Facebook, and a number of the theme parks have even offered him free tickets. Mr Stokes said: 'A lot of the parks have come back to me and are really on board with the whole idea. 'I need the good summer weather to continue, as I've only packed shorts and T-shirts, and one jacket. But if it all goes to plan, it should be a great trip 'And I'm already looking for inspiration for my next challenge once it's complete – I think the natural next step would be to choose another country and do the same. 'Germany has loads of world world-class theme parks, so we could go and do it there. 'But maybe it could be a country that I've never been to. I know Japan has a few theme parks that'd be cool to get around. But I'll do well to finish this challenge first.'
