Eamonn Holmes couldn't resist stirring the pot as recently split Love Island stars Liberty and Jake appeared on This Morning, asking them if they were tempted to "have a little cuddle and kiss."
While they had been the favourites to win the new series of the ITV2 dating show since day one, Liberty and Jake called it quits at the end of last week, after she had voiced concerns about him taking her for granted and "playing up to the cameras."
As well as calling time on their relationship, they called time on their Love Island future, deciding to walk out the villa after their final date.

Giving one of their first TV interviews since their dramatic exit, Liberty and Jake, affectionately dubbed 'Jiberty' by viewers, spoke to Eamonn and wife Ruth Langsford via video call from Majorca.
Eamonn and Ruth were joined in the This Morning studio by ex Love Island star Amy Hart, herself a victim of heartbreak in the villa in 2019.
She said the most important thing was that Liberty had found 'self love,' but Eamonn was quick to jump in and suggest that Jake might be hoping to rekindle the relationship outside of the show.
As Liberty and Jake looked on, Eamonn fired back at Amy: "You're pouring cold water on all of this. I'm listening to Jakey here and that is a man, I hear where he is coming from.
"He's basically saying 'OK it didn't work out in there, it didn't work for the TV cameras' but he's not going to say no. He might be thinking there's flame from the embers here and you're pouring cold water on all of this."
Amy replied: "No what I said was Eamonn, is that Liberty has got self-love so you can't love someone else until you love yourself.
"Who knows? Jiberty could reunite but Liberty will know what she's worth now."
With the bit between his teeth, Eamonn then stirred things further by asking Liberty and Jake: "Are you not tempted to have a little cuddle, a little kiss?"
As they both looked mortified, with Liberty letting out a nervous giggle, Ruth chimed in: "She's got the ick now!
"That's Eamonn's fault, he's given you the ick!"
She then told the pair: "I am genuinely sorry it didn't work out for you."
