Love Island fans have rushed to defend Tom, after the boys took a joke “too far”.
On Thursday night, the contestants split into two teams as they went head-to-head in Sports Day.
The blue team was made up of Tom, Tanya, Kai, Samie, Ron and Jessie, and the red team was made up of Will, Shaq, Rosie, Sanam, Casey and Lana.
After the red team won, the winning boys decided to play a prank on Tom, where they continued to slag him for the rest of the day for being a “loser”.
Tom eventually snapped at the other boys, and said: “Why are you on me all the time? It’s done, it was funny the first time, just leave it.”
Viewers have since taken to Twitter to defend Tom, saying that the boys should have ended the joke before it got too personal.
Check out some reactions below:

They really are annoying … I’d react like Tom. Shaq takes things too far but can’t hack the same heat #LoveIsland pic.twitter.com/amTL1Fvz87

It was funny at first and even Tom was laughing a bit but if someone tells you to stop and it’s too far then you stop, you could tell Tom was getting annoyed #LoveIsland

So where's the part where they go up to Tom and say they were messing with him? Shaq took it too far #LoveIsland
