Love Island viewers have raised eyebrows over a scene aired during a recent episode of the new series, with some suggesting it was unnecessary for the show.
During Monday night’s episode of the ITV2 series, which made its return last week, various moments unfolded as relationships progressed and tensions simmered in the villa. One particular scene caught attention, featuring Ayo Odukoya, 25.
The model was depicted taking an outdoor shower at one point while other islanders discussed recent villa events. Ayo was shown scrubbing his body in the scene, dressed in blue and white shorts. The segment followed Ronnie Vint, 27, initiating a conversation with Jess White, 25, after kissing Harriett Blackmore, 24, in the Hideaway. Ronnie and Jess later conversed at the firepit during the episode.
As Ronnie approached the villa’s central area in the middle of Monday’s episode, he seemed to notice Ayo in the outdoor shower. Viewers heard him remarking as the camera showed Ayo showering: “Look at that fine specimen!” Following the airing of the scene earlier this week, viewers took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to express their thoughts. Many questioned the necessity of broadcasting the scene, while some suggested Ayo should have used the indoor shower.
“Why did they just show us Ayo digging his a** out in the shower?” one person queried. Another commented, “Why would they do him like that?” Expressing disbelief, a third viewer recently reacted, “Floored me cause why would they show this?”
“They did Ayo DIRTY with that shower shot,” another viewer lamented. Someone else remarked, “I had to do a double take like what.” Questioning the decision, another Twitter user wrote, “Why would they show us Ayo scrubbing his ass in the shower???”
Reflecting on the scene, one individual tweeted, “Was Ayo rubbing his bum clean in the shower on national television?? Big man go inside.” Another criticized, “They have an indoor shower but Ayo decided to do this outside.” Meanwhile, some questioned Ayo’s choice, with one asking, “Do they shower outside lol? What is Ayo doing?”
