Edinburgh Love Island contestant Ouzy shares 'awkward' moment with Ella

Love Island fans were left cringing on Tuesday's episode after Ella Thomas dodged a kiss from Edinburgh's Ouzy See.

The contestants went to Casa Amor to see if they could be tempted and many viewers suspected sparks could fly between Ouzy and Ella after it was revealed they know each other outside the show.

Ella is currently coupled up with Tyrique, but the Edinburgh City football player said he reckons he would sway her.

However, as the pair were chatting on a day bed, Ouzy felt it was the right moment to go in for a kiss. He put his arm around her and lent in only for Ella to start giggling and put her hand over her mouth.

Taken aback, Ouzy, 28, asked: "Do you not want to have a kiss?" Ella 23, shook her head and told him: "No not yet!"

To which an embarrassed Ouzy replied: "Oh my God! It's The Zachariah!", comparing the moment to Kady McDermott's decision to reject a kiss from Zachariah Noble.

Ella told him: "It's too soon. I'm slow. I feel like the cuddles are a big step for me.

"I feel bad. It's not that I don't want to kiss you...I do. It's just that, like, in my own time. Do you know what I mean?"

Although many viewers are hoping Ella to return to the Love Island villa with Ouzy, fans were left cringing over his rejection.

One tweeted: "Ok but Ouzy handled not getting kiss from Ella really well….better than Zach not getting a kiss from Kady lol."

Another commented: "Ella rejecting Ouzy's kiss - what's with the girls rejecting the boys' kisses this year, it's too funny!"

"I just know the Edinburgh City Whatsapp is going wild right now," someone added.

And a fourth said: "Not Ella rejecting Ouzy's kiss and he called it the Zachariah."

Someone else interjected: "These men are finally being humbled, getting pied off from kissing is the best."
