She said on her Instagram Story: "On another note, Love Island tonight is really cringing me out. [...] Why are they all just declaring their love for each other? It's a bit staged, no?"

Seemingly mimicking the cast before questioning such, she said: "'I'm falling for you, I'm falling for you, I'm falling for you, I'm falling for you.' Are you though? Are you really?"
