Love Island US fans have been left fuming after watching the latest promotional video posted to TikTok.
The video saw one of the new contestants, Marco Donatelli, introducing himself to fans and calling himself a “flex offender” – a play on a title that nobody would want to have.
In the clip, the new hunk is standing in a pink shirt and says: “Hey whats up, I’m Marco, I’m 22 years old and I’m usually a student.”
