Love Island fans left 'sickened' by editing days into new series

Love Island fans have complained that an editing error left them grossed out and reaching for the sick bucket.

Several of the Islanders got up very close and personal as they shared a kiss on Wednesday night's episode of the ITV2 show.

It was the tonsil tennis that had viewers feeling a little nauseous - but it was nothing to do with the Islanders, and instead producers turning up the mics.

Tyrique Hyde and Ella Thomas were locking lips, and so were Molly Marsh and Mitchel Taylor.

Many complained the sound of the smooches played by bosses were 'far too loud' for it left them covering their ears.

Fans were quick to say the volume was way too high and they didn't want the snogging in surround sound.

One took to twitter to ask: "No one, literally no one wants to hear people kissing, why do they leave that horrendous noise in?"

Another wrote: "The noise of kissing please love island stop it, knocks me sick."

A third user said it was all too much and put: "They need a kissing noise filter for those mics pls pls pls."

It's not the first time such a complaint has been made.

ITV2 were begged by fans to turn the mics down when contestants were kissing back in 2020 and it viewers were left cringing.

On Monday, fans were left fed up as they were forced to restart or switch off the launch episode on streaming service ITVX.

Fans complained of constant glitching and buffering on the streaming platform, making the episode "impossible to watch".

One viewer admitted they had given up in the end and stopped watching, as others missed huge chunks of the episode.

As some complained of missing twists and the pairing up of the Islanders, others kept getting a dark screen as the episode stopped playing.

Taking to Twitter , several fans begged ITV to do something about the technical issues as they fumed over not being able to watch the whole episode.

One viewer said: "I’m watching #LoveIsland via #itvx & all it keeps doing is freezing and stuttering! why does this always happen when I watch it on ITVX???? I’ve turned it off now as it’s just impossible to watch."

Another tweeted: "I hate itvx. Bro why am I 40 minutes late to #loveisland because it was buffering for no reason."

A third fan commented: "itvx needs to FIX UP I’m already tired of your s**t," as a fourth said: "EXCUSE ME. WHY'S MY SCREEN GONE BLACK?!"
