Love Island fans were quick to point out a 'shady' comment from one of the islanders as tensions continued to simmer during the villa's infamous talent show. Monday night's (March 6) edition of the ITV2 dating show saw the contestants wanting to impress as they pulled out all the stops in the annual talent show.
Tom Clare gave his own rendition of Bruno Mars' track Just The Way You Are, while Casey O'Gorman offered a poor attempt to play the trumpet. Meanwhile, Jessie Wynter and Rosie Seabrook performed a rendition of Don't Cha by the Pussycat Dolls, Samie Elishi showed off her tap dancing skills, Shaq Muhammad did a striptease and a special lapdance for Tanya Manhenga and Will rapped a very special song about his fellow islanders.
However, it didn't seem to do enough to hide the cracks appearing between the contestants as Samie was spotted making a dig at Ron Hall following their earlier disagreement. Prior to the talent show, Samie and Ron sat down for a chat after she relayed his 'game-playing' comments to the other islanders.
"I’m not going to lie, I’m quite livid, I’m just not going to have it… I’m not having a whole gaff think that after one challenge I’m playing a game," Ron said, whilst Samie replied: "That’s the way it’s been perceived Ron and people were talking about it."
Ron then commented: "The only way that’s being perceived is by either you or Tom going away and taking that and making out as if it was said that way," Samie added: "It was weird though, it was a weird comment ... Ron, you said it, all I’m saying is that's what you said and it can be perceived as weird and everyone in here has an opinion on it."
They were referring to when Ron told Samie, Tom, Sanam Harrinanan and Kai Fagan: "When I was a viewer… I thought, the ones who have their drama nice and early and then get comfy and treat it like a holiday, they’re the ones who are probably like, they just cruise. I can see why people probably thought, ‘Oh Lana [Jenkins] and Ron are just cruising through.’
"I’m not bothered by any of that. As I know I’m not, otherwise, I never would have made her my girlfriend, it means too much to me." Ron made the statement after confronting Shaq about his accusations he only made Lana his girlfriend because everyone likes her.
So as the talent show unfolded, Ron impressed by solving a Rubik's cube in less than 90 seconds. However, fans couldn't help but notice Samie's sly dig at Ron as she made a comment after his performance. "We know Ron is good at getting himself out of sticky situations, and that Rubik's cube was definitely one of them," she quipped.
And Love Island viewers wasted no time in calling it out whilst also comparing Sami to recently dumped islander Olivia Hawkins. @ITDolly1395 tweeted: "#loveisland FFS Samie even used Ron's rubick cube talent against him good at getting out of sticky situations." @ElKneeKnow said: "How does Samie still wanna throw shade at Ron from solving a Rubik’s cube lol these lot are genuinely so trash. Might as well admit they have an agenda against Ron cos it’s pretty bait #loveisland."

She really thinks the public are backing her #loveisland."
@katlove1982 shared: "#loveisland When did Samie become like this? Shes Olivia 2.0." @seriesofthought added: "Nah Samie is proper shady. Why did she need to say that #loveIsland."
