Did you spot this last night?
Love Island is back with a bang and viewers can’t get enough of it as proved by the number of tweets generated by the #LoveIsland hashtag already (a LOT).
However, one contestant has already been criticised by viewers and fans of the show took to Twitter to air their views.
Hayley, a model, and Samira, a West-End performer, had just met and were chatting away when Hayley asked Samira if she could “twerk”.
Now, look maybe she was just asking because she was interested, it is possible after all, but viewers immediately wondered if this was proof of racial stereotyping.
People suggested that Hayley had asked Samira this because of the colour of her skin and needless to say they weren’t happy.
Her saying “can you twerk” the moment she said she was a dancer irked me. #loveisland pic.twitter.com/Hgo6RGEAej

If I were Samira this would have been my reaction when Hayley asked “can you twerk?” #LoveIsland pic.twitter.com/ziUHWxy41C
