Love Island fans concerned over the boys' 'childish' reaction to Paige kissing girls

Love Island viewers have been left reeling following the boys' reaction to discovering girls kiss other girls.

The ITV2 reality series was back on screens on Tuesday night as the Islanders were seen properly getting to know each other during the show's first challenge, 'Anything to Declare'.

As part of the challenge, the group were tasked with guessing each other's most shocking and raunchiest secrets.

At one point, paramedic Paige Thorne confessed to previously kissing 10 girls in one night - much to the surprise of her fellow Islanders.

The boys were later seen sitting around the fire pit back in the villa as they debriefed on Paige's secret.

Dami Hope seemed taken aback by the concept, while Luca Bish remarked: "She should send me the pictures."

Meanwhile, in episode one, Amber Beckford and Tasha Ghouri locked lips whilst playing a game of truth or dare on their first night in the villa.

During the game, 24-year-old Amber picked out a dare card and said: "Give the best chat-up line to the girl you fancy the most."

Fellow islander Luca appeared stunned over the task, saying: “You can’t do that.”

“Why can’t I?" Amber responded to him, before going in to kiss 23-year-old Tasha.

Since then, viewers at home have been left far from impressed with the boys' attitudes.

Taking to Twitter, one complained: "Not Luca saying girls can’t kiss girls, and then saying he wants to see the pics of Paige kissing girls in the same 24 hours, grow up."

Another wrote: "Luca is so gross asking to send the pics of Paige kissing girls, wasn't he just chatting that Amber and Tasha couldn’t kiss last night?? DURING PRIDE MONTH??"

A third added: "The #LoveIsland boys saying ‘send me the pictures’ about Paige kissing girls just shows that women loving women are so sexualised in our society. Us wlw do not kiss for men."

A fourth simply stated: "Made me gag hearing that."

Another posted: "Love Island do not tease bisexual representation like that... it is pride month. GIVE IT TO US PROPERLY."

While former Love Island winner Amber Gill tweeted: "The boys being shocked bisexual women exist. Just wait till they find out girls do more than just kiss! #LoveIsland."

At the end of last night's episode, it was confirmed that two new bombshells - Afia Tonkmor and Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu - will be entering the villa this week ahead of a recoupling taking place soon.

It came after Liam Llewellyn was left single following Davide Sanclimenti's decision to couple up with Gemma Owen.

Liam and Gemma were initially put together by the public after first entering the villa.

*Love Island continues Wednesday at 9pm on ITV2 and ITV Hub.
