Edinburgh Love Island host Iain Stirling's subtle dig at Scottish town in new episode

As the Love Island contestants dealt with one of the hardest dumpings on the show, Edinburgh-born comedian Iain Stirling still had time to make the situation a little more light-hearted.

As Iain spoke about all the islanders wanting to "avoid the dumping", he had a subtle dig at a Scottish town during a tense moment. When discussing who wanted to avoid the "dump", Iain said: "That's is what my dad said to my mum when she asked if he wanted to go to Kirkcaldy."

It wasn't only the joke that caught viewers attention, but Iain's pronunciation of the local town. Fans flocked to social media to share their thoughts on the Scottish dig.

Another said: "Not Iain Stirling slandering my home town. We know kirkcaldy is a dump but ffs dude #loveisland."

And a third wrote: "A romantic weekend in Kirkcaldy -Iain #LoveIsland @IainDoesJokes."

More comments read: "Iain and this Kircaldy ting #LoveIsland."

Others said: "Not Iain Stirling dissing Kirkcaldy lmao #loveisland."

And one concluded: "Not Iain Stirling throwing shade on Kirkcaldy in last night’s @LoveIsland (and pronouncing it wrong…) Brutal #KeenToAvoidTheDump."

The next episode of Love Island will air on Thursday, January 26 at 9pm on ITV2. Catch-up episodes are available on the ITVX website.
