Love Island's Ron Hall confronts Samie Elishi after being told by Lana Jenkins that she is convinced he's "playing a game" after comments made during and after a recent challenge.
In Monday's instalment, Ron questions Samie on why she thinks he has a game plan but the conversation quickly turns to the Islander doubling down on her accusation.
Ron says: “I’m not going to lie, I’m quite livid, I’m just not going to have it… I’m not having a whole gaff think that after one challenge I’m playing a game.”
Samie says: “That’s the way it’s been perceived Ron and people were talking about it.”
Ron replies: “The only way that’s being perceived is by either you or Tom going away and taking that and making out as if it was said that way.”
As they continue to talk, Samie says: “It was weird though, it was a weird comment," before later adding: “Ron, you said it, all I’m saying is that's what you said and it can be perceived as weird and everyone in here has an opinion on it.”
Ron hit back: “If they’ve got an opinion, say it to me… Please relay your opinion on the fact you don’t think I'm game playing because I’m not having nine other people thinking I’m game playing when I’ve got my girlfriend in here and people are talking behind my back.”
“I can’t influence nine other people's opinion, I’ve had the chat with you, whoever does think it, you need to talk directly to them. I’m not doing that, I’m not cleaning up all of that," Samie says.
During an earlier challenge Shaq Muhammad questioned whether Ron only made Lana his girlfriend because everyone likes her.
Later, Ron told Sanam Harrinanan, Kai Fagan, Tom Clare and Samie: "When I was a viewer, I thought, the ones who have their drama nice and early and then get comfy and treat it like a holiday, They’re the ones who are probably like, they just cruise."
Samie relayed this conversation back to Lana who warned Ron that "everyone has taken that as a game plan".
Love Island viewers have defended Ron and accused the other Islanders of "bullying" him as one tweeted: "They are bullying Ron now stop it.
“It’s genuinely a new person they gang up on every week and they've made their way around back to Ron again," another wrote.
Someone else added: “I'm confused as why is everyone coming for Lana and Ron so much.”
Love Island airs on ITV2 tonight at 9pm.
