Love Island viewers have praised Kaz Kamwi for setting up the most "iconic" moment of the series so far.

The islander has been having a hard time in the villa as of late, having been dumped by Toby Aromolaran for Chloe Burrows after the new couple shared a kiss.

A new potential love interest for Kaz came in the form of new Islander Teddy Soares, who was properly introduced to the show during Sunday night's episode (July 11) and his injection into the villa saw Kaz take on her former love rival Chloe once again.

The moment occurred when Teddy was seen by Kaz, Faye and Sharon talking with Chloe about his dates the previous night – leading Kaz to take issue with the conversation, since she was one of four girls to date Teddy the previous evening.

"Oh, Chloe is talking to Teddy," Kaz said. "It would be such a shame for someone to interrupt that conversation."

Kaz then pulled Teddy for a chat, leaving Chloe to walk away — and viewers were quick to praise Kaz for preventing Chloe from grafting another of her potential love interests.

"Kaz that was iconic," said one viewer.

"Kaz hates Chloe lmfao," added another.

"Go on babe!" said another.

Previously revealing that he's "not afraid to step on toes", Teddy said: "I think I'm ready for love now. Law of attraction is probably what I believe in, so being in the villa is part of that thought process.

"I'm not getting any younger. I've always been the type of guy to be in long relationships. Never broken three years though. If I do find someone in the villa, I'm going to take it seriously."

Love Island airs on ITV2, and is available via catch up on ITV Hub, with episodes available the following morning for BritBox subscribers.
