On Sunday night, Love Island watchers discussed Molly Marsh’s parents as the islanders’ relatives entered the villa.
The 21-year-old singer, who is dating Zachariah Noble, 25, shrieked when her parents Janet and David appeared on the patio to meet her new boyfriend.
Despite the Doncaster native’s warm reaction, viewers weren’t as welcome when they witnessed Molly’s dad take Zach for a serious talk regarding his kiss with Kady McDermott during a recent challenge.
They mocked Zach’s mother Kirsty and DJ sister Snoochie Shy’s entry into the famed mansion on Twitter.
On seeing the interactions unfold between the two sets of families, one wrote online: ‘Molly’s parents are so desperate, sorry all this ass kissing is taking me out #Loveisland [sic].’
Another said: ‘Even Molly’s dad is an attention seeker,’ while a separate social media user typed: ‘No one wonder Molly behaves like she does, if this is what her dad is like. Run whilst you can Zach.’

They criticised David for fawning over his daughter’s love interest and responded to the blossoming star’s dad confessing he had a “boy crush” on the Londoner.
‘Molly’s dad saying he has a boy crush on Zach #loveIsland [sic],’ one noted alongside an unimpressed meme.
A fan also said: ‘Mollys dad got a crush on zach LOOL nah he’s jokes [sic].’
The notorious ITV 2 reality dating programme invited parents to see their children and siblings at the Spanish villa.
The islanders wait to be reunited with their loved ones, who advise them on their relationships and decisions.
Love Island continues tomorrow night at 9pm on ITV 2 and ITVX.
