Love Island Edinburgh contestant Jay 'barely shown' in challenge as viewers fume

Love Island returned for another dramatic instalment on Tuesday night, which saw the contestants try to set each other's hearts racing while wearing scantily clad outfits.

The women and the men took turns to dance for one another in an effort to get their heart rate up — as it was being measured.

While viewers at home had plenty to say about all of the routines, many were quick to notice that Edinburgh contestant Jay's was given significantly less screen time than the others'.

The 28-year-old investment analyst was dressed as a cowboy, but some fans at home were disappointed that he was shown for "barely one minute".

Viewers were quick to take to Twitter to share their thoughts, and many said the same thing.

One frustrated user wrote: "WE BARELY GOT TO SEE JAY".

"Why’d they barely show Jay… I was getting excited," echoed a second.

A third agreed: "Nahhh they cut the Jay content so quickly Barely got one minute screen time".

"Not them cutting out Jay’s whole performance," commented a fourth.

Meanwhile, a fifth questioned: "WHY WAS JAY’s CUT SHORT?"

Others found the lack of screen time humorous, with one viewer commenting: "They literally didn’t show Jay I’m LAUGHING".

A second posted: "LOOOL THE WAY THEY JUST CUT JAY OUT LIKE THAT?! Omg."

The dancing incident wasn't the only moment in the episode involving Jay that had people had home talking.

He also left some viewers unimpressed when he referred to himself as a 'single pringle' at the start of the episode.

One Twitter user shared: "Did jay seriously just say 'single pringle', what in the 2015?"

"Jay ur not getting any girls if u say single Pringle again," joked a second.

A third tweeted: "Jay talking about being a single pringle? You’re 28?"
