Love Island star Paige Thorne came under fire last night, including from former contestant Amber Gill, after she told Danica and Indiyah that they couldn’t join in on the girl’s chat.
After the latest recoupling caused some tension in the villa, Paige ushered Gemma Owen, Antigoni Buxton and Tasha Ghouri for a ‘girls’ chat.
However, when Danica and Indiyah tried to join in on the conversation, they were told they couldn’t.
Following the recoupling, as Danica and Indiyah walked over to join the chat, Paige, the 24-year-old paramedic from Swansea, said: “Girlies, do you mind if we just have a little catch up and then we can all catch up together?”
Indiyah questioned Paige’s request: “You four?”
“Just us lot,” Paige replied, “It’s not like that.”
Antigoni then grabbed Paige and Tasha’s hands and said, “love you girls”.

Other Twitter users expressed their views on Paige’s actions.
One user voiced: “Paige is gonna turn into a mean girl if she’s not careful.”
Another added: “Paige’s behaviour last night has completely changed my mind on her, bitchy behaviour.”
One tweeted: “Completely changed my mind on Paige. She isn’t nice at all and neither is Jacques, so they are well suited to each other.”

Support for Paige
However, there were some Twitter users backing up Paige’s actions.
One user said: “What I don’t know about this show is that the public can turn on you in an instant for one little comment and this might be a very unpopular opinion but I actually think Paige asking the girls to give them a minute was a kind thing to do to Antigoni.”

A third Twitter user commented on Paige’s actions: “Everyone turning on Paige for something that literally just meant nothing.
“Antigoni obviously wanted to talk with Danica you all will do the MOST to try and turn people against her.”

Wednesday night recoupling
Following Wednesday night’s recoupling, Antigoni seemed upset after Ekin-Su chose to recouple up with Davide, the boy she had previously been coupled with.
Danica also chose Jay, despite him earlier in the show expressing romantic interest in Antigoni.
Due to these two recoupling, Antigoni was left to couple up with Charlie Radnedge, a property developer from London.
During their girls chat that excluded Danica and Indiyah Polack, Antigoni expressed that she was frustrated that Ekin-Su had not pre warned her about her decision to couple up with Davide.

Paige and Jacques
Discussion on Twitter also turned to Paige and Jacques current coupling on the show. On Tuesday night, Jacques had called Paige ‘pathetic’ and viewers did not like this.
Users on Twitter pleaded for Paige to have her head turned in Casa Amor, expressing that Jacques was not a good suit for her.
One Love Island fan, said: “Nah it’s actually horrible that when Paige opens up about being hurt by Jacques (after literally forcing it out of her) he calls her pathetic for what having feelings?!
“Yet he expects her to be so understanding of his feelings.”
