Love Island's Mike viciously trolled over 'scripted' Leanne drama

Love Island star Mike Boateng has been branded "fake" by trolls who claim his responses seem "scripted".

Police officer Mike, 24, has gone through a rollercoaster ride over the last few days after Leanne ditched him.

She was then dumped from the villa as he coupled up with single Sophie, and he's now making moves on Jess.

Viewers aren't convinced by all the drama and have called Mike out for being "fake" - questioning whether the star is being honest or if his responses are scripted.

One tweeted: "The only way that I can understand how Mike and Leanne turned out is to believe that #LoveIsland is scripted.

"Even people in the villa thought that they were a strong couple. How can Leanne do such a 360?"

Another wrote: "He is playing one big game, digging himself a huge hole, and being very disrespectful to Leanne.".

Another wrote: "Holiday over for Leanne. But let's be real Mike is on a mad one love him still though," after his behaviour moving from girl to girl.

One more was left baffled by his sudden feelings for Sophie, writing: "So is mike trying for Sophie now? Haven’t watched in like 3 days".

Mike desperately tried it on with several girls in the villa in last night's episode.

He swiftly moved on to Jess and Sophie - who are both Leanne's good friends.

The other Islanders were baffled by Mike's sudden attraction in the other girls, doubting his authenticity as he appeared desperate to find someone to couple up with.

Callum, who was formerly good friends with Mike, said him fancying Sophie "took him by surprise", while Shaughna gasped as she heard the news.

"It's not reciprocated", agreed Shaughna.

Callum also said Sophie was like their little sister in the villa, and it was "strange" that Mike was suddenly attracted to her.

"You don't get to know your ex's best friend," Shaughna added.

*Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2.

He called it "mad" and added "I don't think Sophie would see Mike in that way".
