It has been a week of drama in the Love Island villa with a new arrival, a dramatic departure as well as a fair share of tears and tantrums. However, the mood was lifted after a surprise performance by singer Becky Hill.
The special appearance was met with whoops and cheers, turning around the atmosphere created by Jacques O'Neill's unexpected departure from the villa, which was shown in the episode on Tuesday, July 12. However, the mood amongst some fans wasn't improved by the star performance with some followers of the series taking to social media to complain.
As the Brit Award-winner took to the stage for the VIP performance with backing dancers for a high energy show by the pool, the mood lifted in the villa. Islanders were thrilled to let off some steam after a tense and upsetting time, reported Manchester Evening News. To recap, following the Casa Amor recoupling process, viewers witnessed the arrival of 2018 Islander Adam Collard as a new bombshell. What followed was the departure of Jacques O'Neill, which left both his partner Paige Thorne and best friend Luca Bish in tears.

As Becky Hill lifted the spirits of the occupants of the Mallorcan villa, Paige and Luca were shown dancing the night away. But many fans were unimpressed that their favourite show wasn't extended for more drama in the famous villa. Others complained that it was being 'dragged out.'
Taking to social media to share their thoughts about the ITV dating contest, one fan complained on Twitter: "When #loveisland is supposed to have challenges but instead they got Becky Hill wasting our time." Another agreed: "Becky Hill extended this episode for another 20 minutes I'd rather movie night or a challenge please." And a third grumbled: "The 15 mins is for Becky Hill isn’t it."
Others had more to say: "These ads are so long for no reason, why are you dragging all of this out for the episode to end with a Becky Hill performance?". With others added: "Why are we getting extra time for Becky Hill when we didn’t have extra time for recoupling?" And another tweeted: "Did we need 20mins extra for Becky Hill?
But on the flip side, fans of the Remember and False Alarm hitmaker were not impressed at being kept waiting for so long to see her in action. One viewer asked: "Where’s Becky Hill?" Another remarked: "Wait isn’t Becky Hill supposed to be coming in tonight?" While someone else tweeted: "Sitting through todays episode waiting for Becky Hill to come on… "
