The reference amused some Love Island viewers, with one fan writing on X/Twitter: “I miss messy Mitch. bring my guy back.” Another fan also enjoyed the reference, writing: “Seeing Mitch makes me happy haha.”
Elsewhere in the episode, Matilda’s bubbly personality seemed to be a hit with not only Sean, who might finally find a connection in the villa, but with the viewers too, who praised the new bombshell for her energy.
“Matilda's aura really reminds me of the girls from the earlier seasons, i think i'm going to really like her #loveisland,” wrote one fan, with another adding: “wait matilda seems like she'll match sean's freak!?!?! im so here for this #loveisland”

The episode ended with another set of challenges as the Islanders had to snog various co-stars depending on the scenario, with Mimii not best pleased with Ayo after he decided to kiss Uma; will there be tension in the air?
