LOVE Island is already embroiled in a race row after viewers branded the new pairings as "segregation." A backlash erupted on social media last night as the four black contestants were paired up by a public vote.
The opening episode saw Indiyah Polack, 22 and Ikenna Ekwonna, 23, put together as well as Amber Beckford, 24, and Dami Hope, 26.
The other six white contestants were paired up together. On Twitter viewers railed: "So they've essentially segregated the couples as two black couples and three white couples...is this what I'm getting?" Another Tweeted: "Who came up with this idea of people voting couples together?
