Love Island viewers have criticised spin-off show Aftersun for “embarrassing” former contestant Danica Taylor with a rejection montage on the latest episode of the show.
During Sunday night’s live show, presenter Laura Whitmore welcomed recently dumped contestants Danica and Jamie to reflect on their time in the villa.
But fans were stunned when the pair were shown a compilation of Danica being rejected by the likes of Davide, Jacques, Luca and Andrew, before Jay and Josh, with the clips edited into a spy movie-inspired video called Danica’s Mission Impossible.

The male singletons were labelled as her targets, with the words “fail” stamped across clips of them turning down Danica’s advances.

While Danica didn’t appear to be bothered by the clips and laughed along, fans on Twitter jumped to her defence.
“Can they not show Danica’s actual best bits ? Like don’t embarrass her with the rejections it’s so unkind,” one commenter wrote.
“‘That clip was NOT Danica’s best bits!! Rejection after rejection compilation is not someone’s BEST bits!!!’ blasted a third,” another tweet read, while one Twitter user added: “Not Aftersun bringing up Danica’s interviews.”

Another commenter wrote: “Why are all of Danica‘s best bits her being pied off.”
“Producers did Danica dirty,” one fan complained, while another remarked: “If I was Danica I would’ve screamed when watching that montage.”
Eventually, however, she found a connection with Jamie, and the pair are enjoying continuing their romance on the ‘outside’.
Ahead of the footage playing, presenter Laura Whitmore told the former islander: “You were a woman on a bit of a mission, take a look at this.”
Before Aftersun’s final episode, Paige Thorne and Adam Collard were dumped from the Love Island villa.

As they rolled their suitcases away, Paige said: “We’re happy and there’s no hard feelings whatsoever with the other islanders.”
Adam then said flattering his love interest: “I’ve got the best girl.”
However, many viewers praised the dancer for taking the video “like a champ”.
One said: “Danica took the interview memes like a champ, love her #Loveislandaftersun #LoveIsland.”
“Danica took that like a champ,” added another.
Tonight’s finale will finally crown the latest winners of the ITV2 show, with couples Ekin-Su and Davide, Andrew and Tasha, Luca and Gemma and Indiyah and Dami being the final four couples up for the public vote.
