George Fensom comparing himself to a lasagne, and his explanation that followed, have left Love Island viewers perplexed.
The 24-year-old, who sparked controversy ahead of his tenure in the villa, is presently seeing Jess Harding, but has previously dated Molly Marsh and Whitney Adebayo.
In a chat with Whitney during Friday’s episode, he began: ‘The last thing I want to be is a d**khead, my vibe now is… I don’t want problems, I want peace.
‘That’s me in a nutshell – what you see is what you get.’
When Whitney compared him to a ‘dark horse’ with ‘layers’, he countered: ‘I’m like a lasagne.’
‘I’m just dropping lasagne game.’
Trying to explain himself, he went on: ‘You’ve got the cheeky side, then you’ve got the funny side, then you’ve also got a more of a sensitive and deeper side.’
Whitney then questioned him: ‘Are you smart?’ to which he bluntly replied: ‘No.’

‘The thing is, if you said, what’s the root of square 2, then I would not have a clue, so I’m smart in my own way, like I’m smart in the sense of like, I know how to cross the road when there’s no cars coming.
‘Different levels of smart – I can tell you’ve got 12 GCSEs.’
Love Island viewers didn’t have a clue what to think, with one writing: ‘George is a lasagne?? wtf.’

Another said: ‘”I’m like a lasagne” haha someone please pick George the boy deserves more time.’
‘Me trying to figure out which part of a lasagne is the sensitive side and which part is the funny side,’ another joked.
This comes after George baffled fans when he mistaken a Casanova for a vehicle… yeah, really.
Chatting to cameras in his introductory VT, the reality star began: ‘I’m George, I’m 24 years old, I’m a business development executive from Bedford. In a nutshell, it’s just a glorified salesman.’
He went on: ‘My mum actually calls me a Casanova… I don’t know what that is.
‘I thought it was a car.’
It wasn’t the strongest start…
Love Island continues tomorrow night at 9pm on ITV2.
