After seeing Mehdi Edno and Whitney Adebayo’s breakdown during the heart rate challenge, Love Island viewers expressed their displeasure.
The classic challenge of the islanders doing their sexiest dances in some odd outfits returned in Sunday’s show.
Model Mehdi, 26, on the other hand, took a different strategy, kissing the bulk of the females, much to Whitney’s chagrin.
During Monday’s episode, Whitney asked him: ‘How can you not gauge emotional awareness? Every single boy kissed the one they are most interested in.’
However Mehdi quickly interjected: ‘If you come to me with an attitude I won’t address it,’ which led her to storm off.
Fans were not amused when Mehdi told Whitney to ‘collect herself’ during their rather peaceful exchange.

‘Mehdi telling Whitney to be composed when she’s perfectly fine and he’s storming off in a strop over nothing????,’ one person tweeted.
‘Compose yourself” is Mehdi being fr????? how much more composed could Whitney have been,’ another added.
A third person weighed in: ‘Whitney speaks in the calmest tone ever and mehdi still says she’s being aggressive.
This isn’t the first time Mehdi has been chastised by fans, following Whitney’s forced apology for inadvertently laughing during his recoupling speech.
Viewers believed Whitney should not have said sorry, with one writing, ‘Whitney had nothing to apologise for.. what’s Mehdi’s issue pls??’
‘The fact that Whitney feels the need to apologise to Mehdi over nothing is upsetting. This guy is slowly sucking the personality out of her,’ another added.
Tyrique Hyde ultimately admitted to being closed off after his first date with Ella Thomas throughout the show.
Also on the terrace, Zachariah Noble attempted to make a play on returning bombshell Kady McDermott, but the 27-year-old gently rebuffed… For the time being, at least!
Love Island continues tomorrow at 9pm on ITV2.
