Love Island's Remi posts downbeat message after exit and Aftersun disaster

Love Island’s Remi Lambert has shared a downbeat message following his exit from the villa on Sunday night.

The 22-year-old had only joined the other contestants on Tuesday and had his time cut short last night.

It came as the girls had to pick who they wanted to couple up with during the episode.

Remi had formed a flirtatious connection with Indiyah after choosing her for a date upon his entrance, but she decided to go for Ikenna - who she has been coupled up with from the start - instead.

This meant Remi was single and had to be dumped from the island.

Following his exit, he joined host Laura Whitmore on Aftersun, the show’s spin-off, where he said he was upset that he had to go.

Laura then asked him to rap and, after a moment's silence, he began spouting lyrics at the crowd, before cutting off halfway through.

He was then greeted with an applause after the awkward silence.

Many fans rushed to Twitter to comment on the interview - with people saying Remi looked upset and that he shouldn't have been asked to rap.

One wrote: “Laura Whitmore should not have put Remi on the spot like that when he was clearly disappointed and sad. That was hard to watch.”

Another tweeted: “I hope Remi’s mental health is okay when he gets his phone back man.”

“Nah Remi should delete his socials when he gets home,” a third said.

Remi has since returned to social media and shared a message following his exit.

The model thanked his fans for support and said: “Grateful for all the support from you all.”

He continued by showing his vulnerable side and said: “It’s not easy being in there. I tried my best.”

Love Island returns this evening at 9pm.
