ITV Love Island: 'Nose pick' contestant Ikenna Ekwonna leaves fans horrified

Love Island fans were left reeling on Monday night after a contestant appeared to pick their nose on live television.

Ikenna Ekwonna made his first appearance on the hit ITV2 dating show and was pictured with his finger up his nostril during a night by the fire pit as the series returned on Monday (June 6) BirminghamLive reports.

JT said: "Was this guy just sat there digging out his nose? Home training? #loveisland" Liv asked: "Did Ikenna just pick his nose on National TV??? #LoveIsland."

Stan said: "Ikenna picking his nose..." It came after Ikenna coupled up with Indiya during the opening episode. As the girls lined up in front of the villa's pool ahead of meeting the other contestants - Dami, Liam, Ikenna, Andrew and Luca - Whitmore said: "Well, girls, it's time to couple up. There is something I haven't told you yet - things are a little different this year.

"You thought you'd all be stepping forward for the boys you fancy the most. However, this is Love Island and you never know what to expect.

"For the first time ever, we asked the public to play Cupid and pick the boy they thought you should couple up with." After being paired up, the islanders were in for another shock as the first bombshell contestant - Davide - made his entrance.

Indiyah, 23, a hotel waitress from London, said in the Beach Hut: "When I saw him, I was very confused because I had no warning but he is very good looking!"

As Ikenna made his way into the Love Island villa to see who the British public had paired him with, eagle-eyed viewers were left in disbelief when they discovered the handsome Islander's choice of footwear.

"Never has the disparity between men and women been more apparent than the girls in 4 inch heels and a guy wearing crocs," @mcbride_caitlin tweeted.

"The only way Ikenna can live this down is if Crocs gives him a brand deal," @MissVeeDeeBee joked.
