Love Islander branded ‘a snake’ by fans who say ‘he’s so embarrassing’ after shock dumping

A LOVE Island OG has been branded a "snake" by furious fans for his antics during the re-coupling ceremony.

The businessman, 24, was lambasted by viewers for his reasoning for sending bombshell Omar Nyame home, alongside Tiffany Leighton, 25.

Now sweet seller Sean Stone has left a bitter taste in the mouths of Love Island fans who say he's "so embarrassing" for a series of remarks about his villa BFF.

The criticism came after he said the dumping of PE teacher Omar, 25, would "do me a favour" because the duo were both grafting for new arrival Matilda Draper's affections.

His bold comment - which he justified to the group by saying he had a "better" connection with the bombshell, 24, than Omar - has now been slammed in a slew of messages posted to social media site X.

One fan was quick to write: "I'm not gonna lie, this whole discussion made Sean look like a snake… Ciaran impressed me big time! Ayo & Mimii also tried to fight Omar corner. Basically both Harriet and Sean wanted to eliminate their competition ."

A second put: "I’m backing Ciaran here because how embarrassing for Sean to have to literally physically remove the competition."

A third mused: "CIARAN CLOCKING SEAN’S TEA??? YUP bc Sean dumped Omar just so he could have no competition with Matilda, it’s giving INSECURE."

The comments continued to stream in after the shock scenes, with fans quick to praise Welshman Ciaran for calling him out.

Ciaran was insisting how Omar equally deserved a chance to follow his connection with Matilda - emphasising she should be the one to choose who to spend time with.

One fan then added: "Sean and Harriet moving sly glad Ciaran is calling him out."

Another posted: "OMG I love Ciaran for speaking up for what is morally correct even though Sean got away with it.

"I've always found Sean to be super cringe in every way but he lost my respect entirely today. How is cutting out the competition fair?

"Ngl this is a form of corruption."

Earlier in the week, Sean had stolen Matilda away from Omar for a trip to The Hideaway.

Fans promptly demanded he was sent packing after he leaned in for a kiss - only to be snubbed.

They also previously accused him of having "no air time at all" - yet during the past few days, this has been switched up to see him centre of attention.

OPENING UP

Previously, Sean opened up about his ex girlfriend and how she would describe him.

Sean told us he had had one serious relationship in the past and let slip how his ex would describe him.

Speaking to The Sun, he said: "[She would say I'm] very loving, very thoughtful, very caring. Supportive of any ideas and always have their back no matter what, even if they were wrong, I still would fight their corner."

He added: "My normal type would be blonde, petite, naturally beautiful, I love strong eyes - very bubbly and caring and easy to get on with.

"Someone I can open up to."
