Love Island’s Josh Denzel ‘mocks love rival Theo Campbell with petty tweet’ after star goes blind in one eye
LOVE Island hunk Josh Denzel posted a 'petty' tweet seemingly mocking his love rival Theo Campbell just hours after Theo revealed he has gone blind in one eye.
As the news broke that Theo had lost the sight in his right eye after an accident with a champagne cork, Josh posted a meme on twitter which fans interpreted as a dig at Theo.

The meme features RuPaul's Drag Race star Jasmine Masters looking shocked and yelling out the phrase "And I oop" after accidentally hitting herself in the crotch while recording a YouTube video.
Since the video was originally uploaded in 2015, it has gone viral and and is generally used to both express surprise and also throw shade.
Fans quickly clocked the timing of 28 year-old Josh's use of the meme coinciding with Theo's injury, prompting Josh to swiftly delete it.
Josh and Theo have had beef ever since Theo, who appeared in the third series of Love Island in 2017, began dating Josh's ex Kaz Crossley earlier this year.

"It’s generally used to show shock and people use it to be petty/show pettiness too," one fan explained of the meme of fan forum Reddit.
"I don’t know if Josh understands how horrible using that pic is but f***."
Pretty soon, there was lots of reaction to Josh's post on twitter too."He's honestly bottom barrell" one commentor said.
"Theo is blind in one eye after a serious accident and josh from loveisland tried to clown him then delete the tweet loooooooooooooooooooooooool what a fickle clown," added a second.

A third weighed in: "When I heard about the Theo situation wondering if he was okay🙏🏾, how can my next thought be I wonder if Josh Denzel would at least show some love only to finally out he trolled Theo instead .....like what a C*** 🤬"
A fourth posted: "Theo is blind in one eye and Josh posted the ‘And I Oop’ meme. He’s sick in the head."
And a fifth said: "Theo needs to give Josh a proper beating."
Josh and Kaz became an item on the 2018 series of Love Island after Kaz entered the show in Casa Amor, and they even finished third in the final.
But after six months of dating the pair called it quits in January, with Kaz posting on her instagram a picture of the two with the caption: “Sometimes things don’t go the way you planned, but you have to be grateful for the journey.
"Thank you for everything especially showing how to love myself again.”

The following month, Kaz began dating Theo and they were spotted on holiday in Thailand together.
Josh then made a pointed comment on fellow islander Jack Fowler's post about his ex.
Jack posted: "Girls that move on before it's been 3 years after a broke up", prompting Josh to reply: "Three years? How about three weeks?"
Kaz didn't take the dig from her ex, who had blocked her on social media, lying down.
"Ppl move so brave after they've blocked you," she wrote alongside a laughing face emoji.
Kaz has been by Theo's side ever since his right eye was split in half following after being hit by a champagne cork while he was holidaying in Ibiza.

Kaz has hailed her beau for being "brave and positive" after the incident.
She shared a sweet picture of her cradling her lover while in the hospital bed together on her Instagram story.
The post read: "It's been a hard 24 hours no one here speaks English and he was taken for hours at one point and I had no clue he was in surgery again.

"I've stayed in his room over night and just want to take him home. He's so brave and positive."
The style icon - who has launched her own range of headbands since leaving the show - has thanked fans for their well wishes on Theo's behalf.
She continued: "Hopefully it will get better.
"Thanks for your kind messages.
";I hope this will make people aware of the dangers at these parties and to be more careful."
