Love Island viewers are pointing out a concerning moment from last night’s episode

Did you catch this?

Anna O'Rourke

After three weeks, Yewande has left Love Island.

The Meath native was booted off the show when Danny chose new girl Arabella over her in last night’s recoupling.

Now some viewers are concerned with what they feel was a racially-charged moment during her exit.

As Yewande took time to say goodbye to her fellow Islanders at the end of the show, one of the girls could be heard saying “Bye Felicia”.

The phrase comes from 1995 film Friday and is commonly associated with black culture.

Some on Twitter thought that the dig towards Yewande was inappropriate.

You’ll remember that the hashtag #ByeFelicia was included in the text that Maura read out announcing the recoupling earlier in the episode.

Some fans reckon this meant the producers knew who was going home before the recoupling even happened – and that there may have been a racial undertone to it.

Fingers crossed we hear from Yewande soon and she lets us know her thoughts on what went down.
