The ITV2 dating show came to an end on Monday, with a reunion special set to air this weekend.

While appearing on the Saving Grace podcast, Coco appeared to express regret about not sleeping with Josh while the pair stayed in a villa after their dumping from the show.
The comments followed Summer and Josh exploring a romantic connection before Josh’s exit from the villa.
Asked if she had s*****d Josh, Coco replied: “No and I’m actually annoyed because I feel like I could have now.
“Talking to him now after I’m like I feel like it could have happened.”

Posting to Twitter after watching the reunion live in-studio, Twitter user @hattietoll suggested Coco and Summer came to blows about the comments.
They wrote: “Just been at the #LoveIsland reunion episode filming, very heated exchange between Coco and Summer production had to step in and close it down.
“Summer made a comment about friends not being real friends on the outside, and Coco was trying to defend herself by saying ‘It was all banter’.
“[They] kept going back and forth over the boys (Josh & Billy) for a fair few minutes, production [obviously] had no idea of context from podcast ep.”
