Love Island fans spot Jake 'smirking with glee' as Lillie dropped Liam truth bomb

Love Island fans have labelled Jake Cornish the "biggest game player" after spotting a clue he wanted Liam Reardon and Millie Court to split.

Liam and Millie have been one of the show's most popular couples, but their relationship was put to the test when the Welsh hunk was shipped off to Casa Amor along with the rest of the boys and a group of new girls.

He failed the test miserably as he shared a bed with new girl Lillie Haynes and snogged her several times outside of the challenges.

After walking back into the villa alone and reuniting with Millie, Lillie threw a spanner in the works by calling him out in front of the whole villa.

Eagle eyed viewers spotted 24-year-old Jake for smirking during Lillie's big reveal - and they think he was happy Liam's relationship with Millie seemed to have been thrown into doubt.

Love Island fans went into meltdown last night as the show aired one of the most explosive recouplings of all time. Liam Reardon and Millie Court had an emotional reunion before it was revealed he had been snogging new girl Lillie Haynes in Casa Amor - and viewers are convinced Jake Cornish (ITV)

One viewer tweeted “Worst thing nobody has picked up on is Jake egged these guys on and when Liam got clocked Jake was smiling as if he’s a front runner for the prize that’s sick.”

“Jake is doing evil laugh,” another said.

Another viewer wrote: “Jake trying not to laugh right as Millie finds out about the kiss.

“I’ve never seen such a smug little man. Biggest game player they’ve ever had.”

Liam returned to the villa and chose to recouple with an ecstatic Millie.

Millie was left heartbroken as she tried to wrap her head around the situation, and she was even more baffled when Liam revealed he wanted to make things official between the pair.

Last week Jake, who has been coupled up with Liberty, from the beginning asked the blonde beauty to be his girlfriend just days before their trip to Casa Amor.

During their time in the new villa, Jake was seen encouraging the other boys to crack on with the new girls - potentially putting their established couplings at risk.

Fans have been accusing Jake of "playing the game" by sabotaging the other couples in a bid to win the £50,000 prize money.

“Unpopular opinion… Jake is playing a game and just wants that 50K”, one viewer wrote on Twitter.

Another added: “It’s gonna be all over for Jake and Liberty the minute Liberty rewatched the Casa Amor stage and sees her man egging on the others to be disloyal and getting a kick out of it.”

Fans have also expressed their hope that Liberty finds out about Jake's antics so she can decide whether he's really right for her.

Jake and Liberty had previously been one of the most popular couples in the villa alongside Liam and Millie , but the water engineer's popularity has taken a plunge since his antics in Casa Amor.

During his chat with Millie after the recoupling, Liam nearly spilled the beans on who had been encouraging him to crack on with Lillie but didn't name Jake.

Viewers will now have to wait and see whether the truth about Casa Amor will ever come out.

Love Island returns to TV on Sunday night at 9pm on ITV2.
