East Lothian Love Island star dubbed show's 'villain' as star couples up with new girl

Love Island viewers are not convinced of East Lothian boy Jay Younger's real intentions on the show, as the latest episode of the ITV2 dating programme aired on Sunday evening.

The Musselburgh boy is now paired up with islander Paige, who was happily getting to know rugby boy Jacques. But Jay swooped in to throw his hat in the ring of Paige's affection, irritating viewers.

And now fans of the show are not convinced the local fitness fanatic is showing every side of himself, and took to social media to share their irritation at the star. One Twitter user even went so far as to say: "Jay is the #LoveIsland villain, you can’t change my mind."

Another said: "Jay, you are a f****** tool mate. #LoveIsland." A third wrote: "naw jay because if you were really interested in getting to know paige you should have let it be known with ekin su that you were still open to get to know the other girls #LoveIsland."

More comments read: "jay can just pack his bags and get gone rn bc no one’s interested #LoveIsland." Another added: "Jay really doesn’t give a s*** about Paige like why is he acting like a fool in love he’s not a good actor #LoveIsland."

A sixth said: "Get Jay out! He’s fake and being told to start arguments. Get Tasha out; she’s a boring moaning misery and being unnecessarily mean to Andrew."

However, some fans of Jay still remain in the audience. One Twitter user said: "I’m here for Jay telling Davide to go back to Ekin-Su because those two belong together."

Another said: "I kinda like Davide and Jay being besties now #LoveIsland." While a third added: "Jacques is immature it’s wild to me Paige is considering him over Jay. At the end of the day, neither will treat her the way she should be treated but at least Jay has some emotional intelligence."

Another wrote: "i think Jay is pretending to be boring.... underneath, he's a real player. You can tell. #LoveIsland." And a fifth concluded: "I know Jay might be a little calculated but that man is grown and he’s FINE. I would have picked him over the other guy easily. #LoveIsland."

Love Island resumes on Monday, June 27 at 9pm on ITV2. Catch-up is available via the ITV Hub.
