Love Island fans couldn't quite believe their eyes as Tuesday evening's episode kicked off after some eagle-eyed viewers spotted an ant crawling across Davide's chopping board.
Following the dramatics of the villa's talent show, where Indiyah almost 'broke the internet' with her recorder skills, Davide decided to cook up a storm in the kitchen for his fellow islanders.
The Italian hunk treated his fellow contestants to a delicious pot of carbonara pasta as scenes from Tuesday's episode saw him chopping up an array of ham on a wooden chopping board.
While Davide got busy in the kitchen, he appeared to be distracted by his latest falling out with love interest Ekin-Su after the pair clashed once again following their talent show debuts.
Although Davide may have missed the insect scattering across the chopping board, the same can't be said for eagle-eyed viewers who flocked to Twitter to share their horror after spotting the tiny creepy-crawly.
One disgusted fan quipped: "Did anyone else see AN ANT walk across that chopping board?!! I'm about to literally gag."
"Davide adding in some extra protein in the form of an ant for Ekin-Su. Hideous," another joked.
"Dear lord Davide hacking up that ham was stomach-turning enough and then he goes and slaughters an ant to add to the mix," someone else mocked.
A fourth viewer gasped: "DID ANYONE ELSE SEE THAT ANT CRAWL ACROSS DAVIDE'S CHOPPING BOARD."
"Wonder who that Ant wants to couple up with. Probably got his eyes on Ekin," someone else joked.
"Nah, Davide shouldn't be the chef in the villa after missing seeing an ant crawl around his food," another viewer complained.
Following the ant's Love Island debut, Ekin-Su and Davide made up after little row.
The fiery pair have been tipped to win the show as their romance continues to heat up.
Love Island continues tomorrow night at 9PM on ITV2.
