The Love Island reunion exploded in chaos on Thursday night as a row broke out between two Islanders – but the incident may not make the broadcast, a source has now claimed.
The annual reunion, where the stars gather for one final time to reflect on the series as a whole, is said to have been thrown into chaos, forcing producers to step in .
The filming in London took place on Thursday evening, ahead of its broadcast on Sunday, and saw former Love Island stars Coco Lodge and Summer Botwe come to blows.
According to onlookers, Coco and Summer got into a “heated exchange”, which fans now think is a result of Coco's recent comments about Summer's boyfriend and former Islander Josh Le Grove.
However, a source has now claimed that the sweary argument may not be included in the televised reunion special, as it was not related to drama that unfolded in the villa.
The source told The Sun : “The evening was going really well until Coco and Summer started to have it out.
“Summer was accusing Coco of a number of things, using very offensive language.
“Everyone was completely shocked, it really wasn’t nice to see – and producers were forced to step in and sort it all out.”
They added: "It probably won't be shown on the show as the fight is about something that happened after the villa – the girls were so vicious to each other it would have to be bleeped anyway.”
This comes after Coco’s shock claim that she "could have" slept with Josh after they were dumped from the villa, if she had wanted to, during a podcast appearance.
Coco's comments came after Summer revealed she and Josh have started dating and the pair have subsequently unfollowed one another on Instagram.
Taking to social media, an audience member at the reunion tweeted: "Just been at the Love Island reunion episode filming, very heated exchange between Coco and Summer production had to step in and close it down.
“Summer made a comment about friends not being real friends on the outside, and Coco was trying to defend herself by saying “It was all banter”, kept going back and forth over the boys (Josh & Billy) for a fair few minutes, production obvs had no idea of context from podcast ep.”
The ITV viewer then revealed Coco stormed off, with audience members encouraging her to return: “Coco left after that exchange and we had to cheer her to come back in.
“Luca ran over to Jay, Charlie and Antigoni’s table to get the gossip as the reaction on the sofa was a bit mad.”
Speaking on the Saving Grace Podcast, Coco said she and Josh were taken to a secret villa together following their exit from Love Island.
Coco said: “You go to this amazing villa, basically as good as the main villa, with Josh and two chaperones.”
Host Grace Keeling asked: “Did you sh*g him?” Coco replied: “No and I'm actually annoyed because I feel like I could have now.
“Talking to him now after I'm like, I feel like it could have happened.
“He was like ‘Oh I'm horny and I was like, ‘Right I'm going to take myself to bed’. But I don't know why I did that because sorry, he's so fit!”
Grace replied: "Why did you do that?!” and Coco said: “I don't know. But we are really close now, like we spend like everyday, like all day together.”
