Love Island All Stars fans pick side after explosive Molly Smith and Callum Smith argument as they clash over the real reason they split

Love Island viewers sided with Callum Jones after he and ex-girlfriend Molly Smith had an explosive argument during Wednesday’s episode of Love Island All Stars.

The bombshell arrival gave Callum a piece of her mind after he attempted to woo her by saying how beautiful she looked in the South African villa.

But Molly, 29, was angered by the flattery and accused her ex, 27, of never complimenting her during their three-year relationship.

Speculation has been rife as to whether the pair, who split in September last year, faked their break-up after Callum chose to couple-up with Molly when he was given the option to steal any one of the female Islanders from their partners.

But in Wednesday’s episode of the new series, Molly confronted Callum over his reluctance to commit to their long-term future, saying he lost interest in being with her as he was more interested in his career, while she was keen for them to buy a property together.

But Molly, 29, was angered by the flattery and accused her ex, 27, of never complimenting her during their three-year relationship and wanting to focus on his career

After Molly spoke about her past relationship with Callum in the villa, he said: ‘I feel like you’re making me look bad,’ to which Molly protested: ‘I don’t think I’m intentionally trying to. If it’s come across, it’s just factual evidence.’

She added: ‘But then to focus on your career if you thought you saw a future.’

He asked: ‘So you’re saying that’s the reason we split up?’, to which Molly replied: ‘That’s what you told me.’

Callum insisted: ‘No I didn’t.’

Looking angry, Molly asked: ‘Am I lying?’

Callum then asked her: ‘Was we arguing every day?’, to which Molly responded: ‘Yeah but then you told me that you needed to focus on your career.’

Callum again insisted: ‘No I didn’t. I’d never say that.’

Viewers took to social media to express their opinion on the argument after it unfolded on screen, with may siding with Callum.

One person tweeted: ‘Molly was so catty in tonight’s ep imo. Slamming Callum for being a bad boyfriend in front of not only everyone in the villa but also on telly?’

While someone else wrote: ‘Sorry but I’m Team Callum on this one. Molly ain’t going the right way about this at all.’

‘Molly literally does not like Callum as a person and should just say, that relationship is done on her side 100%, not telling him that is cruel imo,’ wrote another show fan.

Someone else posted: ‘I feel like Molly has a lot of resentment towards Callum and just wants to make him jealous so he can get mad.’

Another person shared: ‘I feel like both Callum and Molly aren’t over it and probs making it worse arguing on TV.’

While someone else commented: ‘This Molly is very bad vibes; she gives off massive red flags! Feeling a bit sorry for Callum, can see he’s not good at putting his emotions into words.’ 

And someone else wrote: ‘The whole argument between Callum and Molly is so uncomfortable to watch. Their drama is not even entertaining. I thought they’re just gonna have a one conversation and try to work things out, that’s why I was interested at first. Now their drama is just irritating.’

‘It’s like Molly heard Callum was coming to the show and came JUST to petty revenge test him and make sure he’s embarrassed on TV idk what happened but baby girl is FUMING in that I have to hurt you back first stage,’ pondered someone else.

Another viewer posted: ‘I feel so bad for Callum. My boy doesn’t deserve to be spoken to like that at all. If Molly interrupted him and he said I’m not finished. Everyone would go mad. He was so calm and she was laughing in his face. Bang out of order.’

Molly and Callum split up six months ago after meeting on the winter season of Love Island in 2020.

Callum signed up to the All Stars series as a bombshell and was shocked to discover his former girlfriend had done the same, with Molly strutting through the villa doors moments after his arrival.

But Callum decided to couple up with Molly, sharing a bed with his ex again for the first time in months, rather than pursue a new romance.

Molly was riled after overhearing Callum tell some of his fellow Islanders that he only paired up with her out of ‘respect’ while she was looking for something more.

The reality star has already received interest from the likes of Chris Taylor, 33, who admitted he finds her the most attractive female in the villa.

But Callum has so far acted nonchalant towards Molly and the possibility of her dating someone else on the show.

During a game played with the entire cast, Molly took part in a three-way kiss with Chris and Luis Morrison-Derbyshire, 29, with little reaction from her ex.

Love Island All Stars continues at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX on Thursday 18 January.

How will you feel if you come across an ex in the Villa or someone you’ve dated from the show since appearing? It’s always going to be awkward isn’t it, it’s always going to be weird seeing someone that you’ve been with getting with someone else. I wish my exes nothing but the best. I’m going to be focused on my own journey.

Kaz Kamwi

Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? To be totally honest, I actually really want to find love. 

I had a great time last series but I want to have an even better time.

Georgia Harrison

AGE: 29 

SERIES: 3

Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? This is the last year of my 20s so I want to go in the Villa and have some fun and hopefully meet someone that I can fall in love with. I’m lucky in the sense that I’ve got everything in my life that I could possibly wish for, apart from love.

If you had to pick your top Islanders from Series 1 to 10 to couple up with who would they be and why? Chris Taylor, he’s hilarious and the main thing I’m attracted to is a man who can make me laugh. What a fun guy and like I said, I’m looking for someone to TikTok with so I reckon he’d be game for that sort of stuff!

Demi Jones

AGE: 25

SERIES: 6

Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? I lost a lot of confidence with my health issues over the last couple of years but I’ve been smashing the gym this year, finding my confidence again and I’ve got it back. So, let’s find a man!

How will you feel if you come across an ex in the Villa or someone you’ve dated from the show since? It will be interesting to see if old flames get reignited. Naturally with Love Island paths are very much crossed and believe me, I have some paths!

Hannah Elizabeth

AGE: 33

SERIES: 1

Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? I’m returning to the Love Island Villa because I did it eight years ago and what an opportunity I never thought I’d get again. I’m not very good at finding love but I had a ball the first time, so I’m going to have a ball again.

You got engaged on the show last time, do you think wedding bells could be on the cards again this time round? Absolutely not, not in the Villa no. Maybe when I get out, but I’d need to give it a bit of time.

Georgia Steel

AGE: 25

SERIES: 4

Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? I’m 25, I have a house, a cat, a nice car – I have everything in life but a boyfriend, so why not give it as go.

You’ve been brave and honest in opening up about being conned by a former partner. How has this experience impacted the way in which you now approach dating? 

I take that experience as a really positive reflection now. I look at it as something I had to go through to make me stronger and learn things in life for me to be able to learn what I want in my next partner.

Molly Smith

Jake Cornish 

AGE: 26

SERIES: 7 

How will you feel if you come across an ex in the Villa or someone you’ve dated from the show since appearing? Well there is only one and that’s Liberty. We never ended with any bad blood between us and everything happens for a reason. We just become two different people in the end.

What will you do differently this time round? When it comes to people’s opinions, I don’t sit on the fence anymore. That is my way of life now, so I will take that into the Villa.

Toby Aromolaran

AGE: 24

SERIES: 7

Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? If I’m Single and Love Island is an opportunity for me, how could you turn down the chance to find love again?!

You were in a long term relationship with Chloe Burrows, what do you think her reaction will be when she hears you are going into the Villa? I don’t know how she would take it. We will always have love for each other and I think she would wish me the best of luck, as I would certainly do the same.

Chris Taylor 

AGE: 33

SERIES: 9

Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? Last time I was only there for 15 days, so I want to do it and enjoy it all again. I am 33 now and getting on a bit – I am getting ear hair! It would be nice to have a girl to keep my ears trimmed for me!

How did the Barbie Movie come about? I was invited to an afterparty by Margot Robbie and then ended up at an after party with her. I started to panic and make conversation with her, just having really stupid chats. All I can assume is that my silly chat made an impression on Margot Robbie. 18 months later I got an email from Warner Brothers. 

Luis Morrison

AGE: 29

SERIES: 1

Why are you returning to the famous Love Island Villa? It was the best experience of my life. I found love in the Villa before and who knows if I can find love in there again?

What will you do differently this time round? 

I’m a lot older and wiser, so I know what I am getting myself into. I don’t have a game plan at all – I am an open book so I will go with the flow and see what happens.

Anton Danyluk

AGE: 29

SERIES: 5

Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? For me it was a no brainer. I got the call and it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity and probably the best summer I have ever had in my life. Getting the chance to do it twice is going to be unbelievable.

Why do you think the Love Island Villa is the perfect place to find love? 

I think this time with Love Island: All Stars, things will be different, as we all understand what it’s like to go on Love Island and the only thing now missing is finding a partner.

Mitchel Taylor

AGE: 27

SERIES: 10 

Why are you returning to the Love Island villa? I think I went in with my heart on my sleeve the first time and got hurt and this time I am just going in to enjoy myself and if a connection happens, a connection happens.

In the summer you were given the name ‘Messy Mitch’, and a name that you have taken on as your own,  can we expect more of the same in the series? I’ll be honest, I don’t really plan on being ‘Messy Mitch’. It just depends on what day of the week it is. I wear my emotions on my sleeve and what you see is what you get. I am very honest and very opinionated and I think that’s what people like me for.

Callum Jones 

AGE: 27
