Love Island fans were thrilled by the latest twist, which gave Mimii and Omar the power to break up another couple and choose a new partner for themselves.
The stunning mental health nurse, 24, and the hunky PE teacher, 25, were at risk of elimination after finding themselves single, but a surprise text changed everything on Sunday.
In the twist, which fans labeled as ‘messy’, the duo was given the choice to either couple up together or steal someone else’s partner. Mimii and Omar discussed their options, and despite some flirtations, Mimii still seemed interested in Ayo, 25, who had been stolen in the recent recoupling by Uma, 23.
They then returned to the fire pit to announce their plan to steal before the episode ended on an epic cliffhanger. Fans took to X, formerly Twitter, expressing their excitement and urging Mimii to “steal back her man.”
One fan wrote, “This was a delicious twist, well done producers,” while another commented, “I’m dead, the twists this year are no joke; no one is ever safe!” Others chimed in with, “Steal?! Oh, they are messy,” “Steal yes Mimii, take back your man!” and “I like this twist.”
Meanwhile, in another part of the episode, fans criticised Samantha for her ‘awkward’ reaction when Joey kissed Jess during a saucy dare in the Sunday night challenge.
The episode began with a tense reaction from the 26-year-old make-up artist when the TOWIE alum, 33, kissed Jess, 25.
Joey and Samantha, who are currently coupled up, participated in a sexual position challenge during the X-rated game.
The hilarious scene showed the Liverpool-born bombshell lying on her stomach while Joey burst a red balloon placed on her bottom with his head, leaving the other contestants in stitches.
Afterwards, Joey faced a dare that instructed him to “snog the islander who you’d be with if you weren’t with your girl.”
The reality star was visibly embarrassed and struggled to make a choice. Fans commented on Samantha’s reaction, writing, “Samantha made that so awkward for Joey, saying she’s ‘not a***d’ over and over again, making it very clear she was indeed a***d. Weirdo energy.”
Other reactions included, “Why is Samantha the way she is?” and “JOEY IS FRIGHTENED ABOUT SAMANTHA LMAOO POOR JOEY.”
