Newbie Mike arrived just six days ago and after stealing Olivia from Chris, he was given the nickname “Muggy Mike” and he’s clearly still furious about it.

He explained: “I didn’t rate that. If it had been in the outside world then there would have been repercussions. But because we were in there I chose to stay calm.

“At the end of the day I went and sat right next to him after I coupled up with Liv and he looked like he s*** his pants.

“He didn’t say anything to me but then we had that later conversation and he tried it. I’ve been called worse things so it doesn’t really bother me.”

As well as hinting Chris was scared of him, Mike explained that off-camera, Chris’ childish antics took their toll on everyone in the villa.

Mike said: “I don’t know if you guys saw but Chris would be jumping on the bed and chucking stuff around. Olivia would find it hilarious and she was lapping it up. They were childish really and more suited to each other.”

Just hours before leaving the villa tonight, Mike finally dumped Olivia after finding out she’d snogged Chris behind his back.

After Mike left, Olivia fell back into Chris’ arms but the footballer had a stark warning for his rival.

He said: “She’ll palm of Chris at some point and she’ll move on again.

“I don’t think she’s going to stick with him. That’s my opinion.”

Love Island continues tomorrow at 9pm on ITV2.
