On Love Island, the contestants were shown controversial scenes of all their antics that they might not have wanted to be shown.
This may have included private conversations about other people in the villa, flirty interactions or kisses from Casa Amor.
However, some viewers have hit out at not showing certain clips to the contestants, as they say it makes others look worse.
One fan started a thread on Reddit, titled 'Why didn't the producers add this clip?' alongside a video.
In the clip, some of the girls - which did not include either Shakira Khan or Toni Laites - were sat in the garden as they dissected Shakira's behaviour.
Megan Moore stated to the group: "Shakira's cool and that's why she's been grafting her f****** ass off today."
However, Helena Ford interjected as she stated: "Oh no. She's gonna choose Connor, I know it."
The rest of the girls, which included Alima tried to suggest otherwise, before Helena added: "I think she fancies everyone doesn't she?
"She probably fancies the plants."
Underneath the clip, the viewer commented: "I think the producers want to give Shakira the mean girl edit."

Fans flooded the comments section of the post in agreement as they claimed that producers deliberately set up Shakira to look a certain way.
One loyal Love Island viewer fumed: "Defs mean girl edit, along with a couple others."
A second noted: "It seemed like they wanted to use the clips with ppl that are still in the villa."
"Yep this is what started everything and there's so much more they could've included. Idk why they gave Shakira the bad guy edit knowing she's so loved in the outside," stated a third fan.

Strictly star's horrifying photo of ‘lowest moment' as he reveals he's been sober for a year
STRICTLY star and Olympian Iwan Thomas has bravely opened up about his secret struggle with alcohol and shared a picture of his lowest moment. The 51-year-old retired athlete took to Instagram today to mark one year of sobriety after admitting he needed four or five drinks to become relaxed in any social situation. 3 Those drinks then escalated into downing shots and wild nights that led to periods of hangxiety and depression. Iwan wrote on Instagram: "Well today is a big milestone for me. Being sober isn't for everyone and it might not be for me forever. "But at the moment it's how I'm choosing to live and if I'm honest I think it makes me a better person. I'm in no way trying to tell people how to live their lives, all I'm saying is I'm proud of myself…" In a video filmed at his home, Iwan said that while he didn't view himself as having an alcohol problem, he drank for acceptance and not pleasure. He admitted he missed drinking, but that he preferred the man he is without it and that it also made him a better dad. The final slide of his post showed him passed out on the floor beside a toilet. Alcoholism campaigner Calum Best said: "Really good video this." One follower wrote: "This is everything…..you don't have to have a 'problem' with drink to want to remain sober, it's about being & feeling a better person." A second said: "Yes my man! incredible and i hope you continue with it! nothing beats feeling great! legend! you've got it." A third posted: "Great stuff Iwan! So honest of you and should be great advice for many." Strictly star secretly welcomes third child as he reveals adorable name and shares sweet first picture Father-of-three Iwan is a decorated 400m runner who won World Championship gold in the 1997 4x400m relay, a silver in the same event at the Olympics in 1996 and individual gold in the 1998 European and Commonwealth Games. He's starred in reality shows like Strictly Come Dancing and Celebrity Hunted since retiring with injury in 2006. The Welshman became a father for the third time last year when his youngest son Bowie was born. He also has sons Dougie, six, and Teddy, three, with his longtime partner. 3

Huge Girls Aloud star reveals she's working on new girlband talent show after reunion
GIRLS Aloud star Kimberley Walsh hinted she's returning to our TV screens in the hunt to find the next best girlband. The pop star, who reunited for a special comeback tour last year in memory of late bandmate Sarah Harding, said she was blown away by the incredible fan reaction and believes the UK needs a new girl group. 7 7 Much loved singer Kimberley, 43, has now revealed that she' s keen for a new talent show to grace our screens, seven years after X Factor ended. Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Kimberley said: "I was chatting to a commissioner the other day and we were chatting about formats. "There is actually a guy that I knew from years and years ago that worked on our Pop Stars: The Rivals programme and we were saying that maybe it's time to create another show that would create a really amazing girl band." Kimberley, who found fame on Popstars: The Rivals in 2002, said she believes there is space for a new singing competition. "I feel like the reaction to us coming back was quite something and none of us really expected it to be quite so huge, which clearly shows people still love girl bands and there's a space for more," she said. "There's just not really any new bands coming out or we're not really seeing them in the mainstream anymore which is a shame I really nice for young boys and girls to have girl bands to aspire to." The Love Machine hitmaker said she'd love to be a panel member - but won't be channeling Simon Cowell 's energy. She shared: "I think I'd really enjoy something like that because it's mentoring and I've got a lot of knowledge over the years to give but equally there's a lot of responsibility there and I think I'd be really soft, I wouldn't want to say no to anybody. "I'd have to be the nurturing mother hen, I can't be doing any of the other roles." Last year Kimberley and bandmates Cheryl, 42, Nicola Roberts, 39, Nadine Coyle, 40, reunited for the first time in 11 years - for a special concert for Sarah Harding, after she passed away following a cancer battle in 2021. 'The reunion tour was amazing, I feel like we had that incredible moment and it was a way for us to obviously honour Sarah. That was our main focus and we massively achieved that I think," Kimberley said. "People really did feel they were able to celebrate her and that was really special for us. Who knows [if we will reunite], it's really hard to say right now it's not where we're at. "If you had asked me 10 years ago if we'd be doing a tour, last year I'd probably have said no - so you never know, do you. 'I definitely [feel like me and the girls are closer than ever now], we spent all that time last year together, back to like the old days, back to our kind of sisterhood and it's actually been so lovely to reconnect fully. "It was a really special time.' Meanwhile DIY enthusiast Kimberley has tapped into the demand and launched her latest paint colour in collaboration with home improvement retailer, Wickes - Blush Rose – available now for £14 per 2.5L pot. The pop beauty, who has previously taken part in some of the biggest TV reality shows - including Strictly Come Dancing, said she would jump at the chance to do one show in particular. She told us: "I've done a lot of the big shows that I would personally enjoy doing, just because for me, if I'm going to do a show like that it's got to be something that I'm really interested in and really into because it takes a lot of time and dedication. Strictly was amazing. "Nadine [Coyle] was amazing in the jungle - I did not in a million years think she'd be able to cope with it like that, she's terrified of her own shadow but she did so well. "I think for me the hardest thing is being away from the kids, I've got three kids, I think they'd find it really really tough. For me, it's not something I'd ever consider just because of the isolation element of it, being away, it's not the one." Kimberley then teased: "There are always new shows coming up, I think my ultimate is if they did an All Stars Strictly, I'd be like 'sign me up straight away' because I just loved it so much. Maybe they should do that." She took part on the dance show in 2012 and was partnered with Pasha Kovalev, where she finished as one of the runners-up, alongside Denise Van Outen, while Louis Smith won the competition. Elsewhere, Kimberley said she may even be eyeing up a DIY show like Stacey Solomon 's BBC show Sort Your Life Out. Taking all things DIY, Kimberley said: "My biggest renovation is my own home, it's a relatively big house to do yourself, I took on the challenge when we moved in 14 years ago and I was having a little break from Girls Aloud at the time. "I just bought the house and had nothing else to do and said 'i'm just going to do it myself'. "It was no mean feat, it was a big challenge to take on, big spaces. I think now that I've done so much of it, nothings really daunting to me now. I just find it actually really therapeutic to decorate and it's almost like my form of mindfulness to just switch off and have a DIY day or decorating day. "I get a real kick out of transforming a space and I just get it in my head that I want to revamp somewhere and there's no stopping me. I do absolutely love it - if you could find the right format that's not existing, for me I'd want to do something that's empowering people to stuff themselves a bit more, rather than me coming in and being like 'look, this is how I can change your space', just showing people the really small changes like repainting a room in a different colour can actually change how you feel in that space. "It would be fun to do a DIY show, they are addictive, people always want to see the finished version. "I've always loved DIY, I used to make interior mood board, I'm still more likely to spend money on the house than myself, that's my passion, that's my first love. "If I wasn't a singer, I always thought if I didn't make it as a singer, I'd be an interior designer, that's what I thought in my head, but now I get to merge both." The Something New singer has teamed up with Wickes to create her latest pain colour. The world has gone mad for all things pink this summer, with #pinkdecor sporting over 32k videos on TikTok as homeowners and renters alike play with pink in their homes. Kimberley said: 'I've always had a soft spot for dusty, vintage pinks - they're already a big part of my own home and so choosing this shade for my Wickes collection felt completely natural. "It's a colour that lifts the mood instantly, bringing little sparks of joy and a burst of energy to any space." 7 7 7 7

How has Tesco's F&F upped its game By Fabulous' Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend ZARA has become a high street staple in recent years thanks to its hot-off-the-catwalk designs and affordable prices. But recently those prices have risen with the brand's popularity. However, if you are looking for high fashion inspired outfits with low price tags you needn't drag yourself to your local shops, just head to the supermarket instead. F&F has come a long way from selling a few backs of T-shirts and fluffy dressing gowns and is now a must have shopping destination for thousands. They produce good quality, long lasting and on trend clothes that puts others to shame. F&F is filled with Zara dupes and other looks inspired by our favourite shops that will set you back less than £50 - and you can get them while you pick up your dinner. I for one love F&F denim, it's durable, fits really well and has all the best silhouettes. So even if you're not looking for reasonable prices but just want good clothes, get yourself to Tesco.
