Love Island viewers were sent into fits of rage on Tuesday night after hearing bombshell Sammy Root reveal the girl he is coupled up with wasn't initially his type but that he was hers. He said of partner Jess Harding that he had to "work to try something new and explore [her]".
It came after things got rather heated between the pair on ITV2 after Sammy found out that Jess was interested in getting to know Mitch Taylor on a more romantic level following Monday night's Situationship challenge. This sparked Sammy to fume which caused some controversy amongst the girls in the villa and viewers alike as the previous few days saw the 22-year-old explaining he was open to getting to know the villa's latest addition Leah Taylor.
Following a debrief on the events that occurred during the challenge Sammy was seen talking in the villa's diary room and said: "Without sounding quite bad I was Jess' type. She wasn't mine. I'm the one that worked hard to try something new and explore Jess. Now she's trying to play games. Nah!"
