Love Island fans have been left in hysterics by the villa’s latest clash, after a ‘ridiculous’ insult thrown by Tommy Bradley.
Following a ill-planned plot by the boys to sabotage the challenge in a bid to kiss any girl they wanted, a furious Tommy clashed with Shea Mannings over his decision to kiss Megan Forte Clarke.
While Harry protested ‘it was only a challenge’ Tommy made the decision to pull Shea for the chat, and things soon took a turn.
Tommy accused Shea of being ‘snakey’, only for him to hit back by repeatedly asking the visibly-calm hunk to ‘calm down.’
As Tommy walked away, insisting he ‘didn’t want to speak to Shea all night,’ the latter snidely branded him a ‘t**t.’
Tommy then furiously hit back by branding a Shea a ‘lanky f*****g lamppost,’ before accusing him of being ‘patronising.’

Earlier in the episode, Alima Gagigo was praised by Love Island fans for ‘standing up’ to Megan Moore after an explosive row between her and bombshell Malisha
Tempers boiled over in the TV villa on Sunday night as Malisha entered alongside two other bombshells Yasmin and Emily.
Viewers watched as the trio crashed the boys’ night away from the villa as they each went on a date with the hunks.
However, unbeknownst to the men, the original girls were watching every moment of the action, including Meg as her man Dejon appeared to hit it off with Malisha.
As the night went on, Dejon and Malisha continued their chat on the sofas in the garden whilst a fuming Meg stood nearby in the kitchen.
She then told the girls: ‘I said where do you go out partying? He said Tape. I said shock, of course you’re a Tape boy in Mayfair. What does she do? F*****g stand in Mayfair and go Tape every weekend? Boring!’
As Malisha, 24, a teaching assistant from Broxbourne, Hertfordshire, was in earshot, she heard her name being mentioned and asked Meg to repeat what she had said, which she did – leaving out the boring part and adding: ‘I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that, do you?’
Malisha confronted Meg directly about her harsh words. But instead of backing down or offering an explanation, Meg coolly replied: ‘I’ll say it with my chest’.
Later on, tempers flared again as Meg pulled Malisha for a chat, which the bombshell assumed was to clear the air.
Instead, Meg raged at her for attempting to pull Dejon into the Hideaway, and the pair exchanged more words before storming off.
Following the heated scenes, Love Island fans have praised Alima as she ‘stood up’ to Meg and called out her behaviour.
She told her: ‘Megan, I’m not going to lie, that was not nice to see, like both of you guys, what just happened in there with Malisha.
‘I do get like obviously what happened, but that was not nice to see.
‘All the shouting, and then I was in between them.
She added: ‘At the end of the day we can be nice to boys, so be nice to girls as well, that’s all I’m asking for.’
Viewers took to social media to comment on the scenes, with posts including: ‘Alima is actually a queen!’
‘Alima the only OG girl not scared to stand up to Meg love to see it.’
‘Not Alima the only one with balls to tell Meg she was wrong in front of everyone. Dejon silence is p***ing me off. He needs to grow a pair.’
