Love Island fans have claimed Lola Deluca “played it safe” with their decision on who to steal.
The bombshell entered the villa earlier this week, where she sparked flirty conversations with Joey Essex.
On Thursday night’s episode, Lola was tasked with a difficult decision as she prepared to steal an Islander of her choice to couple up with.
Having been getting to know both Joey and Reuben since entering the Villa, Jessy whispered to Joey ahead of Lola’s decision as she admited: “I’m scared”
Jessy and Joey have been coupled up for a few weeks, even deciding to stay loyal during Casa Amor.
However, have yet to have the “closed-off” conversation – leading to Jessy worries that Joey’s head might turn.
In a surprising moment, Lola decided to steal Reuben – who was single after moments before fellow bombshell Harry chose Grace.
Many disappointed fans took to social media to claim that Lola stayed on the “safe side” by choosing Reuben over Joey.
One viewer wrote: “I didn’t see that coming, Lola chose Reuben just to be on the safe side, because she could see all the drama and reactions from Jessy.”
Another said: “She wanted Joey but everyone scared her off.”
Take a look at the other reactions:
