With the Love Island finale just around the corner, you’d expect the villa to be all about love and harmony, right? Wrong!
Last night’s episode (June 21) on ITV was a total firestorm as Islanders locked horns in some of the most explosive rows yet, with Joey Essex and Ciaran Davies at the centre of the drama.
The villa was buzzing with anticipation for the ‘Grafties’ awards, where this year’s singles were set to be honoured for their antics. But the heat turned up when Joey, who had previously kissed Ciaran’s partner Nicole during a cheeky game of ‘Snog, Marry, Pie’, faced off with a miffed Ciaran.
Tempers hit boiling point when Ciaran bellowed: “Shut the f*** up, simple!” only for Joey to hit back with a triple “How about no? How about no? How about no?”.
The Welsh reality star wasn’t having it, snapping: “Don’t need your b******t! ” while Joey, never one to back down, fired off: “You can never tell me to shut the f*** up”, reports the Express. Pushed to his limit, Ciaran roared back: “Or what? “.

Reddit was ablaze with fan reactions to the jaw-dropping bust-up, with many suggesting that Ciaran has been itching for a chance to take Joey down a peg. One eagle-eyed viewer commented: “Ciaran has been WAITING for a chance to go at him, despises him and rightfully so.”
One user expressed: “Joey gets so easily rattled when he’s called out,” while another chimed in: “He cannot take it can he? I think that almost makes his behaviour worse tbh.” (sic).
Another fan added a humorous note saying: “Ciaran became ALOT hotter telling Joey to STFU,” but someone highlighted the struggle of living with him, responding, “Would’ve actually lost my mind having to live with him 24/7.”
However, not all viewers were critical of Joey, as one viewer praised him for his chaotic appeal: “Once you start looking at Joey as an agent of chaos rather than a functioning human being, he becomes so much more enjoyable lol.”

Joey made an unforgettable first impression as the first ever celebrity bombshell of the series. After failed relationships with both Samantha Kenny and Grace Jackson, things are looking up for Joey as his relationship with current partner Jessy Potts seems to be strengthening.
Despite some minor disagreements during Casa Amor, the couple has remained loyal to each other and is continuing their journey together.
Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
