Love Island hunk sparks concern as fans convinced he's suffered painful injury – did you see it?
LOVE Island fans are convinced Conor may have suffered a painful injury before the show after spotting a clue on the show. The rugby player, 25, recently sparked concern after he showed off his pearly white gnashers while in the villa. 4 Love Island fans noticed Conor's missing tooth on the right upper row Credit: Eroteme 4 Some viewers think it may be a result of a rugby injury Credit: Eroteme 4 Many viewers have defended Conor's natural teeth Credit: Eroteme Eagle-eyed fans were quick to spot a tooth missing from his upper right set and asked whether it might have happened on the show. One viewer wrote: "Not to be rude in the dental situation?" along with a picture of Conor and his missing tooth. But many fans took to reddit to explain that the missing tooth was likely a result of him playing rugby. This person shared: "Dental implants are very expensive and the process is long. He might not mind missing a side tooth which is fine! Genetic condition or a rugby injury perhaps? It's really not a big deal or anyone's place to judge." READ MORE ON LOVE ISLAND A second said: "He's played full contact rugby for years, I assume that was the cause. From following other players, they won't get a permanent fix until they retire from rugby because the chance is high it will just get damaged again." "Conor's teeth actually give his face character, they suit him. They are clean and look nice . Also he's a rugby player they tend to lose teeth it's high contact," a third commented. Another added: "He's a rugby player. There is literally no point getting your teeth done before you retire. My husband was missing his front tooth from rugby when I met him…I sorted that straight out ha!" While several other people defended the star's natural teeth. Most read in News TV This viewer said: "It costs a fortune to get dental implants for regular people. He's attractive in any case. Better than the Turkey teeth." "I'd rather have real teeth like this than those piano keys the rest of them have got in their mouths," someone else fumed. Love Island star sparks fears she'll quit the show after tense bust-up saying 'she's going to walk' This person posted: "Teeth are unique to people? You're being rude. We don't all have turkey teeth! He probably lost it with rugby or whatever but yeah.. his teeth are unique to him." Conor's time in the villa hasn't been completely plain sailing after love interest She told heatworld in an interview: "It's so funny, right? So on day one, Conor told me that he followed me on Instagram four years ago, and I never followed him back. "But then since coming out, I've seen that he follows me on TikTok and he's actually commented on one of my TikToks. "Again, I've not followed him back or even realised he had commented on one." She laughed: "So, yeah, it's nice that he's still trying four years later. "It's worked out for him now, I suppose."

Although Dejon and Meg have been in a pairing since the start, the flirty hunk has aimed to get to know each new bombshell with little to no consideration for Meg's feelings. Despite this, Meg has made it her mission to claim Dejon as her own and found herself in a number of rows with the new villa girls - and it seems like it will be no different with Billykiss. In tonight's challenge, Dejon finds himself under fire when Yasmin and Gio describe him as the "least dedicated". Read More on Love Island In reference to Meg, Yasmin says to Dejon: 'I don't feel like you've dedicated yourself fully to the whole experience. "I hope you've only dedicated to getting to know one person…' Dejon replies: 'I didn't know when all of a sudden it's become a problem wanting one woman.' Yasmin goes on to explain that Billykiss has shown an interest in him but he may have shut it off, stating: 'There's other girls in here like Billykiss who picked you to go on a date because she was obviously attracted to you…' Most read in Love Island This comment rattles Meg as she takes a shocking swipe at Billykiss as she makes a dig that Dejon "doesn't want" her.

'You say you're open then when she's not around you don't act like you're closed.' Clearly irate, Dejon shot back at Billykiss to suggest she was simply looking for some air-time on TV, ranting: 'Please Billykiss, is this like your five minutes of TV or what? "I don't understand why you're still going on.' It comes as Dejon's sister had her say on Meg as she In a new TikTok, she said: 'I love my brother and I'll support whatever decision he wants to make on Love Island but if he fumbles the bag with Billykiss. "If he fumbles the bag with her, I'm going to have to stop watching the show. Im going to have to stop watching it. 'I support him in whatever decision he makes, but I'll be so upset.
