Love Island fans brand friends and family episode 'uncomfortable' as Cach's siblings suffer awkward exchange with Toni
Love Island fans branded Monday's friends and family episode the 'most uncomfortable yet' as Cach's siblings met Toni for the first time. The Islanders' friends and relatives piled into the villa to give their live reactions - as well as some 'needed' candid feedback during the instalment. But viewers were left cringing at one awkward exchange when Cach's siblings, his brother D'Shae and sister Ayjah, entered the house. Fans at home claimed it was 'obvious' the duo didn't like his partner Toni after a series of stern looks were thrown her way. A previous episode saw the couple part ways when Toni decided to recouple with her ex Harrison again, leaving her man Cach in tears as he was forced to partner with Emma - they eventually got back together. But it seems Cach's siblings have not forgiven Toni for the drama, with fans sharing their thoughts on X. They wrote: 'I don't see anyone else's family doing the most as Cach's, that was an uncomfortable watch'; 'Well that was the most uncomfortable meeting, #LoveIsland Cach's brother & sister do NOT like Toni, at all! They clearly see what others do too! You're too good for her Cach!'; 'Idk.. that convo with Cach's siblings was sooo awkward she made one mistake pls i don't think its that serious. without context you'd think she cheated on him with 10 different guys'; 'I'm not getting the vibe that Cach's family love Toni tbh'; 'Cach's siblings are weird can't lie if you don't like the girl just voice it but throwing faces is crazy.' During the episode Toni was sitting on the terrace, when suddenly she heard her mum Leslie shout: 'Is Toni here? Where's Toni?' Realising friends and family have come to visit the Villa, she raced down stairs to greet her mum who had flown in from Florida. Her best friend Marielle also made the trip and she joked of being in the Villa: 'It's like meeting our Sims in real life!' As they caught up, talk turned to her daughter's romantic relationships in the Villa, Leslie said: 'The Harrison thing - I'd love to know what voodoo spell he put on you.' Fans at home claimed it was 'obvious' the duo didn't like his partner Toni after a series of stern looks were thrown her way Realising friends and family have come to visit the Villa, she raced down stairs to greet her mum who had flown in from Florida 'Sometimes you have to get burned 150 times before you can't get burnt anymore,' Toni replied. Leslie added of Cach: 'You have the most amazing man. His morals, his ethics, his calm demeanour when he is confronted with a bad situation… he is my king.' Meanwhile, Cach caught up with his brother D'Shae and sister Ayjah as they discussed him being upset by Toni and Harrison's actions. Cach admitted: 'You don't understand how embarrassing it was.' His sister said: 'Everyone felt it. It hurt to see you cry,' while his brother D'Shae added: 'I had to look away.' At the time Cach broke down in tears 'for the first time in years' as he branded his rejection off Toni 'one of the most embarrassing moments of his life'. Toni decided to go for it with her ex Harrison again, leaving her man Cach to couple up with Emma, and Harrison's girl Lauren ended up with Ty. Cach entered as a Casa Amor bombshell and swept Toni off her feet, while she was in an on/off situation with Harrison. 'I can't believe I'm crying. I haven't cried in years,' Cach told Ty during the scenes. Ty said: 'This is real though, it's you. It's better to let stuff like this out than bottle it up. It doesn't make you any less of a man, in fact more of a man.' Cach had previously said to Toni: 'That was one of the most embarrassing things I've been through in my entire life… 'You knew what decision you wanted to make, you were just waiting for the go ahead from someone else.' As he walked off, he added: 'I can't respect that. Good luck with your endeavours.'
