Love Island contestants Summer Botwe and Coco Lodge argued over a fellow islander during the show’s reunion episode on Sunday.
The eighth series of the hit ITV2 dating show concluded last week, with Ekin-Su Culculoglu and Davide Sanclimenti crowned the winning couple and receiving the £50,000 prize. During the Love Island: Aftersun reunion episode, Summer and Coco clashed when a group of islanders were asked who they had spent time with since leaving the show.
Speaking to Summer, Coco, Josh Samuel Le Grove and Billy Brown, presenter Darren Harriott asked: “Spill the tea, who’s been getting off with who? Come on, let us know!” After Billy confirmed there had “been a few,” Summer added: “I know someone who wishes they would have got with someone, but we move. Better not talk too much.”

This appeared to get under Coco’s skin, as she responded saying: “It’s just banter. If you can’t handle a big personality don’t go on reality TV.” An argument then ensued, with the pair raising their voices to speak over one another.
Summer said: “Friends don’t say certain things hun but alright.” Coco responded: “OK, well he’s been moving mad friendly, so.”
Tensions reached boiling point as Summer said: “Maybe we shouldn’t talk about you, if you want to talk about you, we can. Lean back.” Comedian Harriott, 33, finally stepped in to diffuse the situation.
It was not clear exactly who the pair were referring to during the argument. After the show’s finale, ITV revealed Ekin-Su and Davide had been the clear winners of the public vote with 63.7%.
Gemma and Luca secured 14.5% while Indiyah and Dami came third with 11.8%, and Tasha and Andrew scored 10.1%. The latest series launched to a consolidated five million viewers across all devices, according to ITV, making it the biggest launch since 2019.
ITV also announced there will be two series of the show in 2023 – a winter series in South Africa and a summer series in Majorca.
