Love Island fans baffled as Mehdi floors villa with bombshell confession

ok.co.uk:

Love Island's Mehdi Edno managed to leave his co-star Leah Taylor and the villa stunned in Thursday's episode. Coupled up with Whitney Adebayo, the 26 year old French Islander pulled Leah, 27, over for a chat out of absolutely nowhere, revealing that he'd like to get to know her better. "Really?" she replied, almost lost for words. "I’m not going to lie, I didn’t expect that." And although he confidently explained: "I think you're a smart girl, you’re articulate," the 27 year old couldn't see past his ongoing romance with Whitney, 25, which seemed to be going swimmingly. "I didn’t think it was on that level.

I thought things were going well with you and Whitney… you’ve kissed?" she pointed out. Later, there was further trouble on the horizon when Mehdi pulled his partner Whitney to one side and admitted he wanted to get to know other people in the villa, in particular Leah.

And as Whitney told her fellow Islanders off Mehdi's bombshell, they were left equally as stunned with Jess Harding replying: "Sorry?" while Catherine Agbaje added: "What the f**k?" Viewers were left equally as baffled as one person said: "Why do I feel like producers told Mehdi to talk to Leah because what was the point of that #loveIsland." A different account put: "mehdi going for leah is… random? #loveIsland." While another added: "Is this producer influenced?

Like it’s just so random… had Mehdi ever even spoken to Leah prior to this #loveisland." This isn't the first time Mehdi's behaviour in the Love Island villa has attracted some scrutiny, as back when the latest summer series kicked off, viewers spotted an irritating habit of his immediately.
