Love Island host Maya Jama was forced to defend Irish contestant Catherine on Sunday night, after fans booed her on Aftersun.
Over the past few days, the Dublin native has been at odds with her former partner Scott in the villa, after she returned from Casa Amor with new boy Elom – leaving him single.
On the latest episode of Aftersun, the panel discussed the drama between Scott and Catherine, and the audience started booing and hissing when her name was mentioned.
“Listen she hates Scott. Idk what we’ve missed, we need to chat to the editor he must’ve karate chopped her or sumn- that’s some ancestral rage.” 😭😭😭😭😭 NAHH that took me out#loveIsland #loveislandaftersun pic.twitter.com/Lcffc3q5ri

However, Maya was quick to shut down the boos, telling the studio audience to pipe down.
The Love Island host told them: “Hey, hey, hey! I’m anti-booing anyone alright, we don’t see everything ok so let’s be nice.”
Catherine, 22, was coupled up with Scott before she formed a connection with Elom in Casa Amor, and decided to bring him back to the main villa.
Scott, 22, was devastated over her decision, as he had remained “loyal” to her during Casa Amor.
Amid the fall out of the Casa Amor recoupling, the former couple got into a heated row as Catherine tried to explain her actions.
Scott said he didn’t think she understood how he felt, but Catherine remained on the defence and argued she had every right to bring Elom back to the main villa, as she had allowed him to explore other connections before Casa Amor.
While viewers were torn over their chat, many fans sided with Scott over the situation, as they argued she should have more empathy for him.
During Sunday’s episode, Scott and Catherine came to blows once again as a clip on Movie Night landed him in hot water.
The girls chose to play a clip titled Some Like It Scott, which saw Scott say he would probably forget about Catherine when the Casa Amor girls walked in.
After the clip was shown, the girls slammed Scott for previously telling Catherine he was “loyal” to her, and Leah yelled that none of the bombshells liked him, which is why he remained single.
Scott then began shouting back at Leah, as he came at her for being vocal about the situation.
To all of the girls and viewers’ shock, the Shelbourne F.C. goalkeeper then shouted at Leah: “You haven’t spoke for four weeks.”
Speaking in the beach hut, Leah then admitted that she hopes she never has to speak to Scott again, as she branded him the “rudest” person.
