Love Island fans have shared their discomfort over a sex position task and called for a higher age limit for islanders.

On Monday’s episode, the main villa and Casa Amor were pitted against one another and had to compete in a string of raunchy challenges, including kissing and posing in X-rated positions.

But fans were left weirded out by the return of the ‘raunchy race’, with many complaining about the age gap between bombshell Amber Wise, 19, and Tyrique Hyde, 24, after they snogged.

‘I can’t watch 19-year-olds snogging grown men on tv pls #LoveIsland,’ one viewer lamented to producers.

‘There should be like a 21 year age minimum cause why is this grown man talking to a 19 year old #loveisland,’ another argued.

It comes after Love Island fans slammed the show for welcoming another ‘nepo baby’ to their cast.

Amber revealed to her fellow islanders on Monday’s episode that she was looking for a partner who enjoyed sport as ex-Chelsea footballer Dennis Wise raised her. 


The news divided fans online who compared the young contestant to last year’s runner-up Gemma Owen – daughter of former Liverpool player Michael Owen.

Twitter was alive with comments about the latest entry with some criticising the show for bringing on yet another famous offspring.

One penned: ‘ANOTHER nepo baby that’s too young to be on the show? did we not learn from last time? [sic].’

Another user said: ‘WHAT IS IT WITH THESE FOOTBALLERS LETTING THEIR 19 YEARS OLD GO ON THIS SHOW [sic].’ 

Other offspring of famous parents to have graced Love Island include Danny Dyer’s daughter Danni Dyer,

Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2.
