Love Island viewers have taken to social media to complain after the latest episode of the ITV2 dating show kept "glitching". Those tuning into the show were left frustrated by the distraction as the drama continued to unfold on the programme.
Thursday night's episode saw Swansea-born contestant Paige Thorne struggle as Adam Collard, who she is coupled up with, was taken on a date by new bombshell Nathalia Campos.
As Adam and Nathalia enjoyed their date, Paige, who remained in the villa, headed to the Beach Hut where she said: "Really? Can I not just have this one for myself? Like can you just back off please?"

She later confided in Gemmav Owen and while tearing up she admitted: "She's literally a Brazilian bombshell and I'm a paramedic from Swansea." Gemma reassured Paige there was nothing to worry about and it seems she was right.
While Adam appeared to enjoy his flirty date, upon his return he told Paige he only had eyes for her and wanted to be more exclusive. Discussing how he felt at the firepit, Adam told the 24-year-old: "I hate the word exclusive, but like I want to use it as well, 'cause that's the way I feel right now."
The episode also saw new contestant Jamie Allen choose Danica Taylor for a date, while Lacey Edwards picked Deji Adeniyi and Reece Ford choose Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu. The four couples set off for a romantic date in the park for a picnic.
And while Danica and Jamie and Lacey and Deji sealed their dates with a kiss, Ekin-Su told Reece that her heart was 100% with Davide.
But as the scenes aired, many admitted they were distracted by a technical issue and took to Twitter to complain. "Nah how are the adverts working fine but the actual show is glitching?" quizzed one fan.
While another added: "Omg im so glad im not the only one with glitches, I thought my phone was breaking." And a third asked: "Is anyone else's Love Island glitching out tonight or do I need a new phone?"
"It's glitching every 5 seconds for other people too right?" said another, while a fifth commented: "Love Island keeps glitching for me, and its so annoying."
"ITV need to sort out this livestream the glitching is doing my head in," admitted another social media user," while someone else agreed: "Glad it's not just me. I'm watching on ITV Hub it's been glitching like mad."
Love Island continues at 9pm on ITV2 and ITV Hub. Episodes are available the following morning on BritBox. For more showbiz and television stories get our newsletter here.
