Love Island fans flocked to Twitter to voice their opinions as they watched the girls step up to perform for the boys during a raunchy challenge. In the latest challenge on the ITV dating show winter edition, set in South Africa, the girls took it in turns to dance in a skimpy space costume.
In the challenge, called Space Raunch, the female Islanders stepped one by one out of a spaceship, delivered a racy tagline for themselves, and showcased some steamy moves, before choosing the boy they wished to cosy up with in a mission to be crowed 'sexiest space girl.'
@STREAMYIKESS tweeted: "Sometimes I think of applying to the show but the challenges just remind me how i’m not built for that level of cringe." And @onlytopg_ demanded: "We need the twitter challenge man tf are these cringe childish challenges."

@anihtek said: "These challenges are the perfect example of why I think reality show editors should get a lot more recognition than they do. Because imagine how cringe that must have been without the editing."
@meganlouise1233 decided: "#LoveIsland you could not pay me enough money to say any of the s*** the girls just said, especially 'pocket rocket.' And @brandypapii asked: "Wtf is this?"
But viewers were distracted from the saucy action as they questioned if Zara Lackenby-Brown had "shoved" a ball at Olivia Hawkins during the challenge. The performers faced a "terrifying astroid belt" operated by the other girls after their pole dance in "zero gravity" and many viewers remarked that Zara, who went on to be crowned winner of the challenge, appeared to have been enthusiastic with her aim.
In Sunday night's episode of Love Island Zara and Olivia had a beef following a game of Never Have I Ever. Zara was concerned when Olivia pulled her man Tom Clare for a chat, and she was further rattled Olivia wouldn't reveal the details of their conversation. During a fiery row Zara shouted at Olivia to "get over herself."
@Hungrytelletub1 tweeted: "Please tell me you all saw Zara push the swinging ball onto Olivia. That was PERSONAL." And @noeemi_xo tweeted with a crying laughing emoji: "Zara was aiming to knock Olivia out with that ball bloody hell."
@octoratt_ said: "The force Zara used to dash that ball at Olivia is killing me." And @jojoeamps_questioned: "Pls the way Zara shoved the ball at Olivia??"
@luckyleffty wrote: "Zara threw that ball with so much intention lmaaaooo." @hxnna_mx said: "Did you see the force Zara used to throw that ball at Olivia." And @cmrbby pointed out: "Zara threw that ball with such precision!! that war between her and Olivia aint over yet."
@Rebecca_Hoey tweeted: "No I can't cope, Zara full on flung the ball thing at Olivia when she was walking." And @LummisShannon asked: "Did anyone else see how hard Zara launched that ball at Olivia or was it just me?"
