Irish viewers of Love Island rushed to defend Matthew MacNabb after he was left hanging as Kaz Kamwi admitted to Tyler Cruickshank that she still has feelings for him.
The Belfast-born marketing consultant landed to the villa last week like the fashion blogger’s knight and shining armour, after she was left heartbroken over Tyler’s antics in Casa Amor.
But the 26-year-old saw red and stormed off during a conversation with Kaz admitting that she was "p***ing him off".
In tense scenes, Tyler had a one-to-one chat with Matthew as he tells him: "I didn't get to have that chat with Kaz before the recoupling, which is fine.
"She was just basically saying the door is slight - not even slightly, like... it's minuscule ajar but she is still willing to get to know you."
Matthew replied: "To be fair, at the end of the day, like, it is what it is, like..."
But speaking in the Beach Hut, Matthew admitted that he felt as though Tyler's comments "came out of the blue".
As the pair sat down to discuss where they stood in their relationship, Matt said to Kaz: "Being told through Tyler is not ideal, because it makes me think would you have actually told me?"
Trying to explain herself, Kaz said: "I just... Matt, I've literally just said-"
Matt interjected: "Well, are you still giving me 100%?"
"I'm going to try," Kaz replied
Unimpressed with her response, Matt said: "Well, that's probably not good enough like..."
"I... like... you know what, screw this for a sec," he added before storming off saying "I need to cool down because you're p***ing me off."
And viewers rushed to defend the Irishman.
One tweeted: "Kaz has just done what every guy has done to her and she was in tears for a week! Get her out she’s actually annoying me now get her out man"
A second agreed, saying "I hate to say it but Tyler getting dumped now is exactly the karma Kaz deserves after her week of hypocrisy!
While a third said: "I'm losing patience with Kaz #loveisland justice for Matthew"
A fourth added: "How can Kaz treat Matthew like this!!! She is doing the same thing to him that Tyler is doing to her...?!!!"
