Love Island fans work out ‘real reason’ Sean apologised to Mimii and Josh as ‘bullying’ row rocks villa

LOVE Island fans have worked out the 'real reason' Sean Stone apologised to Mimii Ngulube and Josh Oyinsan.

Last night the sweet salesman grovelled to the pair after he made some comments about them during the talent show in the previous episode.

During the show, Sean called Josh a "sour dummy" - and he certainly wasn't impressed with the comment.

Realising what he said had hit a nerve, Sean went to apologise to Josh, then still feeling guilty he went over to him again to say sorry.

Sean also pulled Mimii for a chat to explain how he didn't mean to offend them.

Many rushed to X, formerly known as Twitter, to say the same thing.

One wrote on the platform: "am i the only one who feels like the producers have told sean to apologise and it’s not sincere

Another said: "This is such a producer forced apology im not buying sean for 1 minute

"The producers spoke to Sean lolllllllll #loveisland #weonsmoke," a third chimed in.

A fourth added: "I reckon the producers have spoken to Sean because bro was standing on business two days ago and now he has remorse? I’m not buying it."

Sean told Josh: "It was all quite light hearted so..."

Josh replied: "I felt like it was a little bit uncalled for. Ideally I would have prefered you to not make a comemtn about such a touchy subject.

"You and Joey have made your comments. Secret mission."

Sean said: "I appreciate that. I apologise for that. I felt like we all knew how we felt about our couples and felt like all that has been squashed."

Josh then told the business owner that he doesn't think that his apology was "sincere".

Joey - who mentioned the 'secret mission' during the talent show - then joined the conversation and told Josh that he didn't think it was "that deep to get upset about it".

Josh ended up getting frustrated with the conversation and left it at that.

The next morning Sean grabbed him for another chat.

He told him: "This morning it is still bothering me and I'm down about it because it never was my intention to come across that way."

Josh replied: "I feel like it's because it's been one too many occasions, i's just like are you doing this intentionally to get a rise out of me?"

Sean said that if he knew it would have "gone down like that", he would never have said it.

Josh accepted his apology with "a pinch of salt" and Sean told him he would never bring it up again.

Sean then grabbed Mimii for a chat to "clear the air", explaining he had "no ill intentions to be a menace".

He told her: "I didn't mean it in any sort of like diggy way."

Mimii replied: "I know how you are and I know you wouldn't want to have upset anyone.

"I was worried for Josh, the dummy comment, with him, he's proud. There's no bad feelings."

Over the past few weeks, both Sean and Joey have been egging each other on and making comments about the situation between Mimii, Josh and her ex Ayo.

Sean thinks that there is still unfinished business between Mimii and Ayo - which has made things awkward for their new partners Josh and Jess Spencer.

During a challenge, Joey mentioned how Mimii had asked him to secretly get Ayo to meet her at the terrace to talk about things.

Mimii and Ayo were coupled up on day one, but then split when Jess entered as a Casa Amor bombshell.

Joey, Sean and some fans think that there are still feelings between the former flames - and they have said that they are happy in their new couples now.

The reality king then dubbed the situation a "secret mission", which he then brought up in front of the whole villa.

During the talent show, Sean roasted Josh about the situation, as well as Joey during his rap.
