Love Island viewers demand major change after ‘dead reunion show’
LOVE Island viewers are demanding a major shake-up to the reunion show format after branding it “dead”.
Just one week after the villa closed its doors for 2023, the cast came together again for the annual reunion show.
However, many viewers wished more time had passed as not much has happened in the six days since the winners – Jess and Sammy – were announced.
One viewer wrote: “The #LoveIsland reunion was terrible by the way. They should probably start doing these reunions a few months after the shows finished or something to make it a bit more interesting.
Another posted: “That way there will also be new info to unpack rather than repeating old info…”
A third said: “We need a reunion right after Christmas give it a couple months and see who still wants to talk.”
“It was so disappointing. I’m not watching a reunion again.”
Despite the complaints, there were still some notable moments and a smattering of drama.
Ella Barnes left viewers open-mouthed as she hit back at Abi Moores after the Casa Amor bombshell insisted her connection with Mitchel Taylor was stronger.
The studio audience was left gobsmacked by her brutal honesty, and Ella wasted no time in defending her partnership with Mitch.
She sniped: “It’s screaming bitter.”
Mitch said the comment wasn’t worth responding too.
Putting on a united front, the couple revealed they are now an exclusive item.
Fans of the show flocked to Twitter to share their thoughts, with one stating: “Mitch was literally mute. Abi ate him up. Ella B hanging onto that man for dear life. Not sure what Mitch fed her. Still with him?!”
A second wrote: “Wait Abi concluded that she had a better connection with Mitch off TikTok???”
Another added: “I would love to see Abi and Mitch rekindle.”
It comes after Abi broke her silence after hundreds of fans complained to Ofcom accusing Mitch of bullying her on the show.
Some 913 viewers contacted the broadcasting watchdog after watching Mitch take relentless potshots at Abi once their brief partnership came to an end.
