Love Island producers were reportedly forced to “step in” to settle an argument between Coco Lodge and Summer Botwe at the season 8 reunion show.
The one-off special was pre-filmed on Thursday night, and is set to air this Sunday, August 7.
According to one audience member, Casa Amor star Coco stormed off during the drama-filled reunion following a heated exchanged with Summer.
The fan 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”
“Coco left after that exchange and we had to cheer her to come back in… luca ran over to Jay, Charlie and antigonis table to get the gossip as the reaction on the sofa was a bit mad.”

The dramatic reunion between the two Casa Amor bombshell comes just days after Coco spilled secrets about life during and after the Love Island villa on the ‘Saving Grace’ podcast.
The 27-year-old told the podcast host that after being dumped from the villa, she and Josh Le Grove were put in a holding villa and the pair grew close – despite his romance with Summer.
Grace asked “Did you s**g him?,” to which Coco replied, “No and I’m actually annoyed because I feel like I could have now. Talking to him now after I’m like I feel like it could have happened.”

“He was like ‘Oh I’m horny,'” she continued. “I was like right… I’m gonna take myself to bed. But I don’t know why I did that because sorry he’s so fit.”
“But we are really close now, like we spend like every day, like all day together and I’m like just let me try once. I even say to him, ‘Just let me try once please Josh!'”
Coco and Summer have since unfollowed each other on Instagram, and Summer also cryptically tweeted: “lemme just 🤫😂…”
The Love Island Reunion show will air at 9pm on August 7 on Virgin Media Two.Â
