Love Island Reunion descends into chaos as producers forced to step in

The Love Island Reunion was not short of drama as it descended into chaos following a row between two islanders. A guest at the event reports a row broke out during filming.

The reunion episode is a chance for the stars to gather for a final time to reflect on the series. The Thursday (August 4) show was thrown into chaos and producers had to step in.

The Mirror reports the filming in London took place on Thursday evening, ahead of its broadcast on Sunday (August 7). It reportedly saw former Love Island stars Coco Lodge and Summer Botwe come to blows.

According to onlookers, Coco and Summer got into a “heated exchange”, which fans now think is a result of Coco's recent comments about Summer's boyfriend and former Islander Josh Le Grove.

Taking to social media, an audience member tweeted: "Just been at the Love Island reunion episode filming, very heated exchange between Coco and Summer production had to step in and close it down.

Summer made a comment about friends not being real friends on the outside, and Coco was trying to defend herself by saying “It was all banter”, kept going back and forth over the boys (Josh & Billy) for a fair few minutes, production obvs had no idea of context from podcast ep.”

The ITV viewer then revealed Coco stormed off, with audience members encouraging her to return: “Coco left after that exchange and we had to cheer her to come back in. Luca ran over to Jay, Charlie and Antigoni’s table to get the gossip as the reaction on the sofa was a bit mad.”

This comes after Coco’s shock claim that she "could have" slept with Josh after they were dumped from the villa, if she had wanted to. Speaking on the Saving Grace Podcast, Coco said the pair were taken to a secret villa together following their exit.

Coco said: “You go to this amazing villa, like basically as good as the main villa, with Josh and two chaperones.” Host Grace Keeling asked: “Did you sh*g him?” Coco replied: “No and I'm actually annoyed because I feel like I could have now.

“Talking to him now after I'm like, I feel like it could have happened. He was like ‘Oh I'm horny and I was like, ‘Right I'm going to take myself to bed’. But I don't know why I did that because sorry, he's so fit!”

Grace replied: "Why did you do that?!” and Coco said: “I don't know. But we are really close now, like we spend like every day, like all day together.”

Coco's comments came after Summer revealed she and Josh have started dating and the pair have subsequently unfollowed one another on Instagram.
