But instead of teasing her arrival via text, as usual, Love Island producers opted for a bizarre change.

After hearing his text tone, Toby Aromolaran told the other Islanders: "I've got a voicenote", before playing the sultry message from Chloe.

She purred down the line: "Hey boys, how are you? Chloe here. I've just arrived and I'm outside the front of the villa.

"I'd like to take you all on a date, but I'll let you guys decide who wants to come and join me - hopefully I'll see you soon."

Viewers at home were shocked by the scene - but not by the bombshell twist or Chloe taking one of the other girl's partners.

Instead, they were outraged that a voicenote had replaced the traditional written text.

Taking to Twitter, one fan moaned: "'I've got a voice note'??? WTF IS THIS S**T. WHERE’S THE 'I’ve got a text!!'"

Another ranted: ";I’ve got a voice note just doesn’t have the same ring to it".

A third agreed: "Bring back 'I got a text' - not here for this voice note nonsense. Voice notes are for 5 minute rants, not bombshells."

One more echoed: "This voice note thing better not be permanent…"

Jake and Finn even share the same raunchy fetish, leaving viewers further floored.
