Love Island fans leap to the defense of Hugo as Sharon and Faye make him CRY

Hugo found himself in hot water on Tuesday’s Love Island when a throwaway comment saw Faye and Sharon fuming at him – making him cry!

His flippant remark involved not being attracted to ‘fake women’ – which rubbed the two ladies – who have both had boob jobs – up the wrong way.

But fans of the show leapt to Hugo’s defence, recognising that he didn’t mean to cause offence.

‘Poor Hugo!’ Hugo found himself in hot water on Tuesday’s Love Island when a throwaway comment saw Faye and Sharon fuming at him – making him cry

The faux pas happened during a game, with Hugo revealing his biggest turn-off as: ‘Fake, yeah. Personality and looks.’

Hugo’s admission instantly ruffled feathers, not helped by him describing his ‘perfect type’ as: ‘Leggy blonde. Not fake.’

That word keeps getting thrown around, doesn’t it?’ Faye seethed.

Realising he’d upset some of the Islanders Hugo insisted: ‘I didn’t mean anything malicious did I?’

Not impressed! Faye and Sharon [L-R] were branded bullies for their behaviour, with many pointing out that Sharon’s partner Aaron listed ‘arm hair’ a turn off and Faye’s partner Liam admitted he has no problem dating someone already in a relationship

Sharon fumed: ‘I think I was just annoyed as a mate, I respect him enough to say to him, what you’re saying is upsetting me.’

Hugo later explained: ‘I just didn’t mean to upset anyone, that’s the last thing I wanted.’

He burst into tears over the upset caused, grovelling to Sharon and Faye later by the fire pit, who ended up forgiving him.

Others pointed out that Hugo has a disability, with one posting on Twitter: ‘Wait I’ve only just realised Hugo has a literal PHYSICAL DISABILITY but he’s the one upset to the point of tears bc the girls are making him feel guilty bc he doesn’t like fillers??’

‘Why are the girls annoyed about Hugo saying he doesn’t like fakeness? It doesn’t mean he doesn’t necessarily like surgery. It could be the attitude that people throw out!’ another penned.

Someone else posted: ‘Aaron doesn’t like hair on women, wants them to be a stay at home mummy, finds ambition off-putting & finds women sticking up for themselves unattractive yet Hugo is the one being bashed… I’m confused!’

Someone else posted: ‘Aaron [pictured] doesn’t like hair on women, wants them to be a stay at home mummy, finds ambition off-putting & finds women sticking up for themselves unattractive yet Hugo is the one being bashed… I’m confused!’

Someone else penned: ‘Do u want an apology from hugo for not liking when girls get loads of work done, but u don’t want an apology from ur home wrecker child [Liam, pictured] ur coupled up with?’

‘Hugo lives with a disability. Faye: but my thin lips tho!’ typed another.

‘How the f**k does Hugo come across as fake?????? Wow my god these girls! He did nothing wrong ffs, hes well entitled to say he’s turned off by fakeness. Faye is a k**b!’

‘Fake means not real, your lips and boobs are not real, f**k off. Hugo is NOT responsible for your insecurities!’ another penned.

Followed by: ‘Do u want an apology from hugo for not liking when girls get loads of work done, but u don’t want an apology from ur home wrecker child ur coupled up with?’

Outrage! ‘So Faye took A LOT more offence to Hugo saying what his personal preference is than finding out the guy that she’s coupled up with is happy to admit he’s a homewrecker, make it make sense!’ another remarked

Double standards? ‘Fake means not real, your lips and boobs are not real, f**k off. Hugo is NOT responsible for your insecurities!’ another penned

‘So Faye took A LOT more offence to Hugo saying what his personal preference is than finding out the guy that she’s coupled up with is happy to admit he’s a homewrecker, make it make sense!’ another remarked.

‘I’m baffled about how these girls aren’t calling the boys out for legit issues (ARM HAIR! Chasing taken women! Etcetera!) but coming for Hugo. What in the world?!’ someone else raged.

The ordeal saw Aaron begin to lose interest in Sharon – just as two new bombshells were sent into the show at the end of the episode.
