Love Island's Summer slams reunion edit as fans praise her for bringing 'only drama'

Love Island bombshell Summer Botwe has hit out at the ITV2 show's editing following her spat with Coco Lodge.

The reality stars came to blows on Sunday evening during an awkward encounter featuring Josh Le Grove and Billy Brown.

As the group sat together, Summer appeared to threaten to expose some of Coco's antics during their tense war of words.

Taking to Twitter last night, Summer slammed the show's editing of the altercation - following reports Coco stormed off set when filming took place a few days ago.

Alongside a laughing emoji, she tweeted: "Of course they edited it, we move thooo."

But while the spat may have been edited, viewers rushed to praise Summer following the clash.

One fan said: "Summer thank you for bringing something to this reunion wow."

Another posted: "Summer and Coco are bringing the drama the reunion needs cause right now it's not giving... #loveislandreunion."

A third shared: "If it wasn’t for Summer and Coco this s**t would’ve been dead. Thank you girls for your service #LoveIsland."

It kicked off between the pair as regular AfterSun guest Darren Harriott decided to have a chat with Billy Brown, who was sat with Coco, Summer and Josh.

As Darren urged Billy to spill the beans about who had been with who since leaving the villa, Summer butted in and said: "I know someone who wishes they would have got with someone, but we move..."

As the live studio audience reacted, including the rest of the Islanders, Coco was seen shaking her head as she said: "It's all bullsh*t."

She then told Summer: "It's just banter. If you can't handle a big personality, don't go on reality TV, it's banter!"

Summer fired back: "Friends don't say certain things hun, but alright."

As Coco continued to shrug it off, Summer was then heard threatening to spill all as she announced: "If you wanna talk about you, we can..."

"It was a joke," Coco said, in reference to comments she made about wishing she'd slept with Josh when they were dumped from the villa.

Summer was keen to have the final say and said matter-of-factly: "I just wanna clarify I never fight over a boy coz there's no competition!"

It was previously reported Coco stormed off the set following her bust up with Summer at filming.

A 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.

"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.”
