The ITV favourite made a passing comment to a photographer, as the show's runners-up appeared to look filled with glum while departing Thursday's bringing together.
The frosty exchange comes amid reports that Love Island producers were 'forced to step in' after a row kicked off between two other former Islanders at the event.

The Mirror reports that in-turn Michael Owen's daughter and the Brighton fishmonger were snapped in a furious state as they wrapped up the night and respectively headed back to their hotel. Both Gemma and Luca attempted to keep a low profile, each wearing matching black ensembles, with Gemma trying to cover her face from paparazzi.
Luca was left trailing behind her with her handbag in tow.
In a bid to break the tension between the couple, a photographer quipped to Luca: "You've got your hands full there!" to which the reality TV star, replied: "Oh don't mate! She's got the right hump with me!"
The comment followed on from a somewhat frosty taxi home together, in which Luca looked like he had his mind elsewhere - gazing with his hand pressed to his mouth. Gemma meanwhile, looked equally as frustrated, with her hand across her forehead.
The couple, who missed out on the £50K prize to winners Davide Sanclimenti and Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu on Monday, both looked glam in black as they made their way over to ITV earlier in the evening.
"How good does she look with her hair up like that?" asked Luca on Gemma's Instagram story, before she smirked as she posed for the camera. Prior to that, Gemma, in good spirits, had invited her 1.6 million followers to vote on her story how she should wear her hair ahead of what would become a dramatic night out.
The Love Island reunion exploded in chaos during filming on Thursday night as a row broke out between two Islanders, a guest at the event has said. The annual reunion, where the stars gather for one final time to reflect on the series as a whole, is said to have been thrown into chaos, forcing producers to step in.
According to onlookers, Casa Amor stars Coco Lodge and Summer Botwe come to blows and got into a "heated exchange", which fans now think is all down to Coco's recent comments about Summer's boyfriend and former Islander Josh Le Grove.
Taking to Twitter, an audience member tweeted: "Just been at the Love Island reunion episode filming, very heated exchange between Coco and Summer production had to step in and close it down. Summer made a comment about friends not being real friends on the outside, and Coco was trying to defend herself by saying “It was all banter”, kept going back and forth over the boys (Josh & Billy) for a fair few minutes, production obvs had no idea of context from podcast ep."
The ITV viewer then told her followers how Coco stormed off, with audience members encouraging her to return: "Coco left after that exchange and we had to cheer her to come back in. "Luca ran over to Jay, Charlie and Antigoni’s table to get the gossip as the reaction on the sofa was a bit mad."
Gemma and Luca may have only arrived home days ago but Love Island fans are already convinced they will part ways very soon. Discussing Gemma and Luca's body language throughout the final on social media, one fan tweeted: "Why does Gemma always look like she is in a hostage situation?"
"Gemma looks FED UP," another mused, with a third adding: "Gemma looks like she doesn't want to be here lol."
"Can’t wait for Gemma to dump Luca within a week out the villa I know who I voted for #LoveIsland," was a sentiment shared by many others after the final results were announced by host Laura Whitmore on Monday night.
