Love Islands fans accuse 'snake' Hugo Hammond of double standards after dramatic recoupling

There's strife in the Love Island villa after Thursday's shock recoupling.

But some fans aren't convinced one islander is as much of a hero as he might want to seem.

Viewers watched on in shock as Hugo Hammond blasted Toby Aromolaran's treatment of Chloe Burrows after the footballer dumper her.

Hugo, 24, stepped forward to save the day for 26-year-old Chloe with a speech in which he slammed Toby. But some viewers branded him a hypocrite, The Mirror reports.

Toby, 22, had decided not to recouple with Chloe and instead chose new girl Abigail Rawlings - which could have forced Chloe out of the villa.

Sending Georgia Townend home instead, Hugo stepped forward and called out Toby for his treatment of his former partner in front of everyone before coupling up with her.

In his speech, Hugo called Chloe "bootiful" and "clever" before adding: "If I'm completely honest, she doesn't deserve to have been treated the way she has this last 24 hours.

"And I firmly believe that a lot of this test stuff is complete bull***t."

He said she deserved someone who would be honest with her, which of course seemed to please Chloe.

However, while Lucinda seemingly agreed with the speech, not all islanders did. Faye and, unsurprisingly, Toby were left reeling at the remarks.

And Love Island fans seem to have longer memories than Hugo himself. Several took to Twitter to call out Hugo for his double standards after he had encouraged Toby to ditch Kaz for Chloe earlier in the series.

One fan wrote: "And just like that Hugo confirmed he's the snake we all knew he was... In the same situation with Kaz it was okay and he encouraged it but now that it's Chloe he's not for it?

"Kick this SOB out... I just can't stand him on my screen... He is officially Choe's b**** #LoveIsland"

Another seemingly agreed and commented: "My only questions for Hugo is will you be able to finish what you’ve started? And where was this energy when Kaz was being disrespected??#LoveIsland"

"For the tweet challenge: I find it interesting that Hugo decided to stand up for Chloe when she was "disrespected" but totally encouraged Toby to snake Kaz with the very same girl #LoveIsland," wrote a third.

It looks like there's going to be some tension in the villa on Friday night's episode after Jake had to calm Toby down following Hugo's "muggy" behaviour.

Toby said to his pal: "What the f**k is that? Would I do that to him? It's f***ing muggy."

Faye then chimed in, saying to partner Teddy that Hugo had been "very rude" before she went over to join Toby.
