LOVE Island fans spotted that new boys George Rains and Marvin Brooks only appeared for seven seconds in last night's episode.

The Casa Amor newbies earned their place in the villa on Tuesday night, but the majority of the camera time has been taken up by drama elsewhere.

George, 22, who is coupled up with Lucie Donlan, and Marvin, 29, who is partnered with Maura Higgins, were spotted in the background of the opening scenes.

Fans took to Twitter following the episode to point out their lack of screen time.

One wrote: "George and Marvin literally got coupled with and they STILL can’t get any air time. Wish they’d fairly separate the air time between everyone #LoveIsland."

While another quizzed: "Where are George and Marvin like are they good? What’s there story? Are they hidden d***head like the rest of the lads or??? #loveisland."

A third joked: "George and Marvin might as well be sitting next to me watching and enjoying it all. #loveisland."

And a fourth said: "Too many people in the villa. Beds everywhere like a Dreams mattress showroom. Even ran out of microphones for Marvin and George #LoveIsland."

The new boys first appeared on the show last Thursday night when they entered Casa Amor in a bid to steal the original line-up of girl islanders off of their male suitors.

Hunky builder George quickly came into competition with Stevie in the battle for Lucie's affection, while Marvin won over Maura despite her initial interest in Dennon.

But despite a few brief chats with the girls in Casa Amor being shown earlier in the week, the newbies' arrivals have been overshadowed by Michael and Anna's recouplings.

In a shock twist Michael opted to recouple with new girl Joanna and Anna chose to return to the main villa with Ovie.

And last night's episode was filled with drama caused by the recoupling, which saw Anna and Micheal in an epic row over his decision to stop things with Amber.
