Love Island’s Coco Lodge and Summer Botwe have a ‘very heated exchange’ during reunion show filming

Love Island’s Coco Lodge and Summer Botwe got into a ‘very heated exchange’ during filming for the reunion show – which is set to be full of drama. 

The reunion, which will air on Sunday night, was pre-recorded on Thursday evening with most of the 2022 cast in attendance. 

And one audience member shared her experience on social media, claiming that producers had to ‘step in’ as the Casa Amor bombshells had an explosive row, which fans are convinced is over Josh Le Grove.

The fan wrote on Twitter: ‘Just been at the #LoveIslan reunion episode filming, very heated exchange between coco and summer production had to step in and close it down

‘Summer made a comment about friends not being real friends on the outside, and Coco was trying to defend herself by saying “It was all banter”, kept going back and forth over the boys (Josh & Billy) for a fair few minutes, production obvs had no idea of context from podcast ep.’ 

The ITV viewers then revealed Coco stormed off, with audience members encouraging her to return: ‘Coco left after that exchange and we had to cheer her to come back in… 

‘Luca ran over to Jay, Charlie and antigonis table to get the gossip as the reaction on the sofa was a bit mad.’

Things recently turned frosty between the girls as they unfollowed each other after leaving the villa. 

Fans believe the former friends are feuding after Coco made it known she had rejected Josh’s sexual advance – while he was thought to be dating Summer.

Coco appeared on the Saving Grace podcast, where she described Josh as ‘so fit’ and implied the pair of them nearly slept together after being dumped from the villa.

She revealed to host Grace Barry that after she and Josh were dumped they were placed in a nearby villa with two chaperones.

Grace immediately cut in to ask: ‘Did you sh*g him?’

Coco replied: ‘No and I’m actually annoyed because I feel like I could have now. Talking to him now after I’m like I feel like it could have happened.

‘He was like ‘Oh I’m horny’ and I was like right I’m gonna take myself to bed. But I don’t know why I did that because sorry he’s so fit’.

She went on: ‘But we are really close now, like we spend like every day, like all day together and I’m like just let me try once. I even say to him: “Just let me try once please Josh!”‘

This surprised fans who were under the impression that Coco was friends with Summer after being in Casa Amor with her.

Summer and Josh had appeared to confirm their relationship last week, when they stepped out hand-in-hand to The Prey gala screening on Tuesday. 

The former Love Island stars hinted there was a spark between them when they were interviewed on Aftersun on Sunday by host Laura Whitmore, with the pair enjoying a date live on the show.

And after Josh declared he couldn’t ‘wait to see’ what happened between the pair during his Aftersun appearance, the pair put on a cosy display as they stepped out in the UK capital just 48 hours later.

MailOnline contacted Summer and Josh for further comment.
