Love Island's Liberty horrified by Jake's savage comment as villa shown old clip

Love Island fans have been left horrified for Liberty Poole as an old comment about her by boyfriend Jake Cornish was shown.

As the islanders settled down for a movie night with a twist, the girls and boys battled it out with a quiz to decide who gets to pick which clip they get to see.

As Love Island ladies won the first round, they opted to watch 'She's Not All That' on the makeshift cinema screen in the villa grounds.

The islanders were taken back in time as footage from private conversations in the villa came back to haunt them.

In shocking scenes that 21-year-old Liberty Poole had previously been unaware of, her boyfriend Jake can be seen telling his male housemates that he doesn't want "to rip her clothes off" and ponder whether he's sexually attracted to her.

As a gutted Liberty looked on in horror, water engineer Jake appeared to squirm and be uncomfortable with his once-private comments being made very public.

As the girls rushed to console the heartbroken student, reminding her it was "early days", Love Island fans took to social media to express their anger at producers and Jake.

"I know I said I wanted drama but damn...watching that was brutal and so awkward I feel for Liberty too.....all I wanted was Jake exposed for his stirring in casa not this!" one disgruntled viewer tweeted, referring to the fact that fans had rather Jake's encouragement of cheating been exposed.

Another fan questioned the producers' clip title choice, writing: "them captioning that clip of jake with 'she's not all that' to show to liberty was f***ing awful. she deserves to know what he's said (even if it was in the beginning), but that caption was gross."

"This was not the Jake exposure we wanted. We just want Liberty to see him in Casa Amor being a dirty no good menace #LoveIsland" a third fan exclaimed after Thursday night's episode.

Liberty and Jake have been coupled up since Day One in the villa and were once favourites to win the show and take home the £50,000 prize.

However, after Casa Amor viewers saw a new side to Jake, as he encouraged the other boys to explore their options - with some fans thinking it was a deliberate ploy to sabotage other couples in order to win.

Former contestant Chuggs Wallis even revealed he thinks the 24-year-old is playing a game, rather than being totally genuine.

Speaking to OK!, the departed islander said: “He was corrupting Liam in Casa Amor. I don’t know if he’s got it in him to think that far ahead, that he and Liberty are good and that those guys were a close second."

He added: “But I do feel like he could have been a bit of a better lad to him. He knows that he was with Liberty from the start so if he keeps that strong he’s got a good chance.”
