Kai accused of ‘bottling out’ of pieing Olivia
Love Island viewers were left less than impressed with Kai as he completely bottled out of pieing ex Olivia in the face during the latest challenge on Monday evening.
The teacher, 24, coped out of throwing pie in the ring girls, 27, face during the Snog Marry Pie game after they have previously had several arguments.
The pair both decided to recouple during Casa Amor and have since had tension between them after she labelled him a ‘game player’.
The game saw each Islander choose a fellow singleton to snog, another to marry before throwing a custard pie in a third’s face.
Fans branded Kai as a ‘coward’ as he opted to avoid Olivia and pied Tanya in the face instead, he married Lana and decided to snog partner Sanam.

One viewer wrote: ‘Kai should’ve just pied Olivia. Should’ve done it for the country.’
Another said: ‘All I have to say about this smog, marry, pie challenge is that Olivia’s face is WAY too dry and Kai is an absolute coward for not pie-ing her.’
A third added: ‘Nobody pieing Liv is literally because they’ve seen her drama and want none of it, you can’t tell me Kai didn’t want to pie her.’
‘Kai why did you not pie Olivia ffs,’ wrote a fourth.
‘I know Kai is wishing he gave Olivia the pie of a lifetime,’ said a fifth.
Another penned: ‘Kai silly for missing the opportunity to pie Olivia because without question she was always going to pie you.’
Olivia didn’t miss the opportunity as the girls swapped over and she got her chance to pie Kai in the face.
She said behind the reasoning of throwing the custard in his face: ‘I chose to pie this boy because you weren’t man enough to apologise.’
Bottled out: Fans branded Kai as a ‘coward’ as he decided to avoid Olivia and pied Tanya in the face instead, he married Lana and decided to snog partner Sanam
It comes after Olivia branded Kai as ‘fake’ last week and pulled him for a chat to ask him directly why he didn’t name her as most untrustworthy during the Knowing Me, Knowing You challenge.
The brunette says: ‘I was quite shocked you didn’t pick me,’ to which Kai told her: ‘I just want to squash the beef, that’s it.’
Olivia replied: ‘I completely want to squash it, but you picking Claudia for me was a bit of a cop out.’
Kai agreed with her: ‘Yeah it was, that’s exactly what it was.’
Olivia told him: ‘For me it confirms that maybe you are quite fake and for me I’d much rather you’d have just said, “Olivia and these are the reasons why I don’t think she’s genuine.”‘
It comes after Love Island fans were left baffled when Olivia demanded Kai apologise for the way he handled the Casa Amor recoupling.
Game: Fans were quick to take to Twitter and said they wishes Kai had given ‘Olivia the pie of a lifetime’
‘You weren’t man enough to apologise’: Olivia didn’t miss the opportunity as the girls swapped over and she didn’t hesitate to throw the pie in Kai’s face
The pair were together in a couple before being separated for Casa Amor, but both returned to the main villa with new partners.
During a chat with his new partner Sanam Harrinanan, 24, she said: ‘Olivia wants to talk to you, just to put water on the bridge, but she wants an apology.’
Kai bluntly replied: ‘I’m not apologising to anyone.’
After the chat, Kai said in Beach Hut: ‘Olivia wants an apology from me, I don’t really know what I’m apologising for and I can say one thing for sure, I’d be walking out that door before I apologise to her. It’s not coming from me because I’ve done nothing wrong.’
Fans urge Casey to make his decision between Claudia and Rosie
Love Island fans lost their patience on Monday night as they urged Casey to ‘get on with it’ and make his decision between Claudia and Rosie.
New girl Rosie chose to couple up with Casey on Friday’s dramatic episode, leaving Claudia questioning what that meant for her relationship with him.
And her questions remain unanswered, as Casey has been stringing them both along.
Taking to Twitter as the episode aired, viewers were left extremely frustrated with Casey’s behaviour.
One viewer said: ‘Casey just decide who you want to be with. Claudia needs to move on.’
Decisions: Love Island fans lost their patience on Monday night as they urged Casey to ‘get on with it’ and make his decision between Claudia and Rosie
‘Casey still talking about how he doesn’t wanna hurt Claudia’s feelings and not about how he likes her. My goodness this boy’, another said.
One fan added: ‘Casey thought the situation would solve itself with Claudia giving up on him bye’.
Fans also became convinced Casey was going to choose Rosie.
One said: ‘How much longer do we have to pretend that Casey’s torn between Rosie and Claudia?’
‘Claudia for sure gives Casey the ick. He just wants to be polite.’
It comes after Claudia was left devastated as Rosie and Casey share a sunbed ‘right in front of her eyes.’
Sunbathing together, newly coupled Rosie and Casey get to know each other more as she asks him: ‘How was your workout this morning?’
Casey replies: ‘Yeah it was good, were you watching?’ to which Rosie laughs as she insists: ‘No,’ while he quips back: ‘Then how did you know I was working out then?’

The pair then move to share a sunbed together, with they lounge out seductively while facing each other, as other couples join them on nearby sunloungers.
Shortly after, Claudia walks past Casey and Rosie to locate herself with Lana Jenkins and Sanam Harrinanam. Sanam asks: ‘Are you alright?’
Claudia replies: ‘She’s got in there hasn’t she? Straight away. Why has she gone and sat with him laid like that?
‘I just think it’s so disrespectful. That to me is disrespectful, watching it right in front of my eyes, literally couldn’t be in a worse spot right now could we.’
Their sunbathing is interrupted by a text, inviting the Islanders to take part in a familiar challenge – Snog, Marry, Pie!
Casey reads out the message, which says: ‘Islanders, It’s time to whip up the truth in today’s challenge, ‘Snog, Marry, Pie!’ #EyesOnThePies #PutARingOnIt.’
Each Islander must choose one Islander to snog, one Islander to marry and one to pie.
Will is up first and the Islanders all laugh at his decision to pie Lana as he jokingly says: ‘I’ve decided to pie this girl because apparently there was ‘no spark’ in week one.’ Will then marries Jessie and snogs Claudia telling her she’s ‘beautiful’.
Elsewhere, Tom choses to pie new bombshell Rosie as he says: ‘I’ve decided to pie Rosie because Claudia is my girl and us northerners stick together.’
It also comes after Love Island viewers were left questioning if Claudia had ‘watched the show before’ as she broke down in tears over Casey following the recoupling on Sunday.
The blonde beauty was left devastated as new girl Rosie chose to couple up with Casey on Friday’s dramatic episode.
Claudia was seen crying throughout the latest episode and exited the bedroom at nighttime to sleep outside away from the other couples.
Viewers were left confused at why she was crying over Casey after entering the villa as a bombshell herself only seven days ago.
One fan wrote: ‘Claudia crying herself to sleep? She needs to get a grip.’
A second said: ‘Does Claudia know she’s crying and sleeping outside over a man she’s technically only been in a couple with for 7 days…’
‘Get a grip’: Love Island viewers were left questioning if Claudia had ‘watched the show before’ as she broke down in tears following the recoupling on Sunday
A third penned: ‘Has Claudia watched Love Island before? She’s crying like she doesn’t know how the show works.’
‘Crying this much over someone you’ve known for like a week is a bit crazy. Idk Claudia gotta relax a little bit with Casey’, added another.
A fourth said: ‘Can Claudia stop crying’.
Claudia was in tears as she confessed to Olivia, Samie, Lana and Jessie: ‘I never thought this would happen to me, I never thought I’d get this attached.’
Despite the other girls reassuring her that the recoupling doesn’t mean the end of their romance, Claudia is unconvinced.
Later that evening the former couple catch up as Casey said to Claudia: ‘I find her attractive and I think it would be silly of me not to get to know her a bit more and that’s all it is.’
Claudia responded: ‘I know, but we were in a good place, we really were and now some pretty girl comes in and it’s just like…’
Casey replied: ‘I would never rub anything in your face, it’s literally just me wanting to get to know her a bit more.’
Casey makes his decision and chooses Rosie over Claudia
Love Island fans breathed a sigh of relief after the Casey, Claudia and Rosie love triangle came to a close on Monday.
Fans had been getting tired of the on-going storyline, which has seen Casey struggle to decide between the two girls.
It all started after new girl Rosie made her entrance and choose to couple up with Casey on Friday’s dramatic episode, leaving Claudia questioning what that meant for her relationship with him.
And though her questions remained unanswered for much of the previous two episodes, the situation has finally come to a close.
Pulling Claudia for a chat after the Snog, Marry, Pie challenge, Casey said: ‘Do you want to go for a chat, you look stunning by the way.’
Relief: Love Island fans breathed a sigh of relief after the Casey, Claudia and Rosie love triangle came to a close on Monday
Claudia replied: ‘Thank you, you look good tonight.’
Beginning his piece, he said: I expected the pies from the girls and I want to get pied if it will make you smile.
As they catch up, Casey continued: ‘It’s taken two or three days to make a decision.’
‘I didn’t want to make it in the first couple of days when I didn’t know.
‘I’ve been honest from the start.’
Getting frustrated, Claudia insisted Casey ‘did know’ adding, ‘Just own up to it and an apology would’ve been nice.
You could’ve said it that night she came in. You did know’
Apologising, Casey said: ‘I’m sorry if you felt pushed aside, but there’s more of a connection there with Rosie.’
End of the road: Fans had been getting tired of the on-going storyline, which has seen Casey struggle to decide between the two girls
Making sure she got the last word, Claudia replied: ‘It’s so hard for me because I genuinely really liked you and now I just have to… deal with it. Watching the guy you like, like someone else.
‘You obviously didn’t feel that way for me before that. It’s taken one girl and two days.’
Though Love Island fans were divided on who was in the right and who was in the wrong – one thing was for certain – they were happy it was over.
Taking to Twitter as the episode aired, one fan wrote: ‘Finally he has told her that he has more of a connection with Rosie so she can move on.’
‘They dragged this out for TWO WHOLE episodes, I just want to see the Kai and Sanam love story’, another said.
Turning the tables on Claudia, one viewer wrote: ‘These girls are ALWAYS looking for an apology.
‘An apology for what??? Omg the girls are so entitled this season it’s so weird’, another said.
‘I don’t think Casey or Claudia are wrong here’, a viewer added.

Show fans accuse girls of ‘bullying’ Casey in Snog, Marry, Pie challenge amid toxic femininity challenge
Love Island fans were fuming for Casey O’Gorman during Monday’s episode after he was repeatedly pied by the girls in the controversial Snog, Marry, Pie.
The recruitment consultant, 26, had four cream pies smashed into his face after many of the female Islanders were left unimpressed by his treatment of former partner Claudia Fogarty, 28.
Episode scenes echoed last year’s challenge which led to more than 1,500 Ofcom complaints from viewers about how dancer and model Tasha Ghouri, 23, was treated when she was pied three times – with some calling the boys’ behaviour ‘bullying’.
Claudia had fallen for Casey after they were coupled-up just three days before Casa Amor and she remained loyal to him despite his Casa antics, but he has since recoupled with newcomer Rosie Seaford, 28.
And while Claudia was seen in floods of tears over Casey’s decision to move on with someone else, fans insist he did not deserve to be targeted so many times during the challenge.

The game sees each Islander choosing a fellow singleton to snog, another to marry before throwing a cream pie in a third’s face.
Casey chose to snog Rosie and marry Claudia during the challenge in an effort to make peace, but Claudia was left infuriated by his choice.
After many of the girls pied Casey in retaliation for his recent actions, Claudia was the fourth and last in line to pie him, with her telling the group: ‘I decided to pie this boy because you can’t have your cake and eat it and I will be no one’s option.’
The situation left many viewers unimpressed, with fans of the show taking to Twitter to express their feelings.
One person wrote: ‘So let me get this straight. When Tasha was pied by the boys they all got in trouble for bullying but crickets when it’s for Casey hmmm.’
Another person posted: ‘Remember last year when Tasha got pied and everyone said it was misogynistic and bullying? Where’s this energy gone for Casey?’
While someone else tweeted: ‘The girls are bullying Casey….OFCOM!’
‘The girls need to stop bullying Casey! He’s done absolutely nothing wrong! He was honest with Claudia from the start,’ shared another person.

While someone else commented: ‘A lot of double standards and bullying happening in the villa – I feel bad for Casey. Claudia’s so butt hurt.’
Another viewer tweeted: ‘Personally don’t think Casey did anything wrong and the targeting on him in the challenge was borderline bullying’
Someone else shared: ‘Im sorry but that episode of #loveIsland was uncomfortable to watch. The girls and Claudia were borderline bullying Casey. I love Claudia but I feel like it’s gone too far now. How come Tanya didn’t get the same treatment off everyone when she done worse to Shaq with Martin?’
‘What has Casey actually done?’, asked another viewer. ‘Why didn’t they all pie Lana then.’
Another person wrote: ‘Unless I’ve missed something, I don’t know what Casey’s getting all these pies for? As far as I can see, he’s been respectful and he hasn’t lied. They’re on #loveisland for God’s sake!’
‘Casey doesn’t deserve all these pies,’ wrote another viewer, while someone else shared: ‘Every girl is gonna pie Casey cause auntie Claudia.’
Opinion: The situation left many viewers unimpressed, with fans of the show taking to Twitter to express their feelings
Last year’s challenge led to viewers complainging about how dancer and model Tasha Ghouri, 23, was treated when she was pied three times – with some calling the boys’ behaviour ‘bullying’.
The UK’s media regulator, Ofcom, confirmed to MailOnline the regulator received 1,509 complaints on July 19 – and the majority were about alleged misogynistic behaviour from the male islanders towards the female cast, including in the aftermath of the challenge.
Tasha, who was coupled up with real estate agent Andrew Le Page, had three pies thrown in her face, by entrepreneur Davide Sanclimenti microbiologist Dami Hope, and fishmonger Luca Bish after they had accused her of not having good intentions towards Andrew.
The general consensus was that Tasha did not like Andrew as much as he liked her and that she was stringing him along.
Tasha was the left in tears after the boys pushed the pies into her face during the supposedly light hearted game, with fellow Islanders later agreeing things went ‘too far’.
On top of fans using the word ‘bullying, Love Island alum Amber Gill wrote on social media at the time: ‘Gosh I hope Tasha is OK. These boys are basically bullying her at this point.’
Awkward: Casey chose to snog Rosie and marry Claudia during the challenge in an effort to make peace, but Claudia was left infuriated by his choice
The mother of last year’s Islander Gemma Owen also criticised Luca and Dami’s behaviour towards Tasha, saying it was ‘close to bullying’.
Luca and Dami received harsh criticism from viewers for the way they treated Tasha and Luca’s family members said they were left ‘broken’ over the awful comments they received about him.
Later in the show, Dami and Luca apologised to Tasha with Brighton based fishmonger Luca admitting he was ‘out of line’.
He said: ‘I do actually genuinely feel bad right now for what I said and I’m sorry.’
Echoing his words Dami agreed saying: ‘I do support you and Andrew and obviously we have our opinions about everything that happened.’
Upset: Love Island received over 1,500 Ofcom complaints about ‘misogynistic behaviour and bullying’ last year which saw Tasha Ghouri (pictured) get pied three times
He continued: ‘I have said to you I thought you always get away with everything so I just thought it would be funny to say ‘you always get away with everything well you’re not getting away with this pie.’
Before adding: ‘I don’t want it to be like I’m ganging up on you. I actually want us to be friends.’
Tasha hugged both men and they agreed to draw a line under the situation, however fans were left unconvinced the apologies was genuine, believing that viewers may have put them up to it.
It comes as Love Island became embroiled in a ‘toxic femininity’ row after women on the show reduced some of the male contestants to tears.
Viewers of the controversial ITV reality series have been left fearing for the mental health of male stars.
Some fans have accused the girls of hypocrisy for celebrating their ‘sisterhood’ but misbehaving in the same way as the men.
Tanya Manhenga, 22, Olivia Hawkins, 27, and Australian Jessie Wynter, 26, are widely considered the ringleaders in the villa.
Last Thursday saw emotional scenes after the Casa Amor stunt, in which men and women are split up, some being put in another villa and all introduced to new singletons.

Shocking: Tanya Manhenga, 22, (pictured) Olivia Hawkins, 27, and Australian Jessie Wynter, 26, are widely considered the ringleaders in the villa
Contestant Shaq Muhammad was left in tears after his on-screen partner Tanya Manhenga went off with another competitor, Martin Akinola. Mr Muhammad was devastated and had to be consoled by contestant Tom Clare.
Ms Manhenga then humiliated Mr Akinola when she led him to believe he stood a chance, only to then publicly profess her love for Mr Muhammad.
Meanwhile, farmer Will Young burst into tears after the women jumped to the defence of Jessie Wynter when he kissed another cast member while in Casa Amor. But none of the women condemned Ms Manhenga.
Olivia Hawkins also rounded on contestant Ron Hall for criticising her, despite footage of her making derogatory remarks about other couples, none of which was challenged by the other women.
In addition, Mr Hall was ridiculed and made to feel he was in the wrong for appearing to encourage his fellow male contestants to give new arrivals in Casa Amor a chance.
Yet the women, led by Ms Wynter, were shown to have done the exact same thing in the villa.
This year’s female line-up has been branded the most ‘manipulative and toxic’ in the history of the show. One male viewer said: ‘I’ve never complained to Ofcom but I have tonight. Emotional abuse and bullying isn’t a joke – Tanya and Olivia need talking to.’
A female viewer wrote on Twitter: ‘I never thought I’d be siding with the men. Some of these women are toxic,’ while another tweeted: ‘Toxic femininity at its finest.’
Sad: Shaq burst into tears on Thursday night’s episode after an explosive Movie Night saw him argue with partner Tanya
Tears: Shaq had a heart-to-heart with co-star Tom after the argument, who comforted him as he cried
Upset: After Tanya ignored Shaq in the kitchen, he left the villa, later crying as he spoke to friend Tom Clare
Another wrote: ‘This women empowerment is too toxic for me. It doesn’t hurt to be self-aware, babe. And a bunch of you need to look in the mirror.’
An ITV spokesman said that contestants are trained in inclusive language and behaviour, creating safe spaces and being a good ally.
During the show, Tanya did not apologise to Shaq for her actions which later led to a clash between the pair that later descended into an almighty row.
Fans slammed Tanya for her ‘self-centred and immature’ behaviour, urging producer’s to send in a new partner for him.
One person penned on Twitter: ‘Shaq crying outside the Villa.. his showing guys have feelings, just we don’t try to show it In front of girls.. Yeah give him the 50k now, he’s won over everyone.’
Another added: ‘Shaq crying actually was upsetting to see… Tanya is very self-centered and immature. He deserves better.’
‘Shaq is way too mature for this game. He deserves so much better,’ a third agreed.
Earlier in the show, Shaq reacted to the Movie Night clip of Tanya kissing Martin, he said: ‘So it was just a peck, yeah, and he went to kiss you? So we’re lying now?’
But Tanya stood her ground and said: ‘If you’re looking for something to be angry about, this isn’t it.’
Anger: Twitter was full of furious commenters after the feud, angry at Tanya’s behaviour and that she made him cry
The confrontation led to Shaq later saying to the boys: ‘I cant lie, I feel like she’s a liar, I feel like she’s full of s**t.’
Tanya became irritated, telling Olivia that she did not know what else to do and she felt she kept having to prove her love for Shaq.
After Tanya ignored Shaq in the kitchen, he left the villa, later crying as he spoke to friend Tom.
Twitter was full of furious commenters after the feud, angry at Tanya’s behaviour.
One person wrote: ‘Tanya is actually the WORST person on #loveisland. Biggest gaslighter and hypocrite. Shaq deserves much better.’
Another added: ‘Tanya don’t deserve Shaq’ while a third said: ‘Tanya continues to prove she is too emotionally IMMATURE to be in a relationship.
‘The emotional manipulation she uses on Shaq to continuously justify her bad behaviour is actually MAD… honestly this whole lot of girls left can be chucked. Well except Sanam.’
Meanwhile, a separate person penned: ‘Not Tanya saying the old shaq is back and she doesn’t like it as soon as he shows human emotion… genuine gaslighting! It’s not an old version of him, he’s just hurt and reacting to your b********!’
Love Island was also reportedly hit with Ofcom complaints over ‘alleged racism and bullying’ towards former contestant on this year’s show Zara Lackenby-Brown.

A total of 78 viewers also made complaints related to ‘alleged manipulative and misogynistic behaviour from other contestants,’ while 59 complaints accused contestant Tom Clare of ‘alleged aggressive behaviour’.
Ofcom is not investigating the complaints.
