Love Island’s Sammy slammed as he leaves Leah in tears with ‘disrespectful’ comment

Love Island’s Leah Taylor had been getting to know Sammy Root since her arrival in the villa but was let down on Sunday night after he branded her a “test”.

Sitting around the fire pit, Sammy stood to reveal who he wanted to recouple with and said: “I would like to couple up with this girl because since we met, we got this weird, little, naughty click between us.

“We have each other laughing in stitches. The last couple of days we had a little test, but it’s made me kind of realise that talking to other people they’re not her.”

As he finished his speech, Sammy revealed he wanted to couple up with Jess Harding, leaving Leah upset and eventually picked by Mitchel Taylor.

He later claimed Leah was only upset because he didn’t “choose” her which left viewers fuming with his comments.

Taking to their Twitter accounts, user @whorunthrough expressed: “Sammy is a disrespectful childish BOY. He needs to get off he’s too immature for this show and that’s saying A LOT #LoveIsland.”

@Its_Lysette commented: “Sammy acts like a child sorry. #LoveIsland.”

@MillieDarley said: “JESS HE IS FEEDING YOU LIES NOOOOOO #LoveIsland.”

@empress9_ added: “Not Sammy trying to lie on tv, like we can’t pull up the previous episodes #LoveIsland.”

@dxlishs fumed: “Sammy. nobody is making you out anyway ..YOU said out your own mouth “that’s not my business” when you hurt that girl’s feelings #LoveIsland.” (sic)

After the recoupling had finished, Molly Marsh found Leah in the living room upset where she explained: “I just feel really bad.

“When the boys were speaking, Sammy standing up and saying we have had a little test. He has pulled me for chats and given them vibes.

“He hasn’t for a second pulled me and said I’m fully with Jess. How are you gonna stand and be so flirty and then stand and call me a test. I’m a human, it’s just rubbish and so rude.”

Not happy with the way he went about making his decision, she pulled him for a conversation and said: “I just wanted to pull you for a chat.

“I am confused how you behaved and it made me upset. Why couldn’t you have been honest and had the decency to say you were flirting for fun.

“It’s really hurt me how you stood up there and called me a test,” however, Sammy refused to take accountability for his comments.

He hit back: “It’s not my problem. I have been honest, I apologise if how I acted made you upset. Tell me what I have done wrong? At the end of the day I prefer Jess I can’t help that.

“I feel like you’re being upset just because I didn’t choose you,” which left Leah more annoyed that she was before.

Love Island airs weeknights and Sunday from 9pm on ITV2.
