Love Island Australia: The villa fights about gossiping

Love Island fans in the UK are wondering whether they should begin watching the Australian version of the series following a brawl that's gone viral worldwide.

A video has surfaced showing two male contestants, Eden and Grant, getting into a heated scrap following the show's latest elimination. Furore descended after the former and his girlfriend Erin chose to dump Justin from the villa with Erin later chastising fellow contestants Tayla and Mille for branding their decision “unforgivable.”

Millie, defending her stance, replied: I said if Justin leaves I'm going to lose my shit, obviously, because he's a close friend” and Eden refused to hold back on her criticism of the girls, something which sparked the fury of Tayla's boyfriend Grant.

The two had a brawl which saw Dom and Josh pull them apart. While Eden later branded it “a stupid thing” to have happened, viewers were enthused by the fireworks.

Meanwhile, in the UK version, the arrival of new contestants Zara and Ellie have shaken things up with Adam, Josh, Wes and Dr Alex despite the first three already being coupled up.

Love Island Australia is shown on 9Go! with the UK version airing nightly (except Saturdays) on ITV2 at 9pm.
