Love Island: Fans of Whitney and Lochan are outraged by the live final error as they insist the winning couple was revealed before the official result
Love Island viewers were outraged after a huge blunder that saw Whitney and Lochan’s Best Bits skipped during Monday night’s finale.
Fans are outraged after the mistake, with many suggesting they accidentally showed the winner’s edit instead.
Jess Harding and Sammy Root were crowned Summer Series winners, beating Whitney Adebayo and Lochan Nowacki for the $50,000 prize money.
But before announcing the winner, host Maya Jama chatted with both couples about their journeys on the show.
After Whitney and Lochan discussed their time in the villa, Maya suggested the couple’s best bits, but instead of playing the exclusive couple’s highlights, it was a compilation of Jess and Sammy’s journey.
Shocking mistake: Love Island suffered a huge blunder when they didn’t show the best bits of Whitney and Lochan during Monday’s final episode
Yuck! After Whitney and Lochan discussed their time in the villa, Maya suggested the couple’s best bits, but instead of playing the exclusive couple’s highlights, it was a compilation of Jess and Sammy’s journey.
Viewers quickly noticed the gaffe when they immediately took to Twitter.
One wrote, “ooh someone is getting FIRED today. how can they literally skip the best bits of Whitney and Lochan? I better see a winners edit.”
Another commented, “Well, after that mess, they better play Whitney and Lochan’s best bits at the reunion!!”
A third ran: I’m sorry but this has been one of Love Island’s worst finals, mistakes that show the best things and then the winners are JESS AND SAMMY!!! How did they beat Whitney (an icon in this series) and Lochan? Imo Jess and Sammy were the weakest couple in the final!’
A fourth agreed: “They didn’t even show the best stuff like Whitney has made this season.”
Some fans believe the mistake was a big giveaway that Jess and Sammy were about to be crowned winners.
One of them wrote, ‘They weren’t showing their best sides, was a huge giveaway couple with Maya’s hideously biased interview, it was clear something dodgy was about to happen’.
The gaffe comes after Whitney wowed fans with her sensational latest look, as viewers predicted that she and partner Lochan will be crowned winners.
The star looked incredible in the form-fitting black silk dress that shows off her enviable curves.
