Sammy Root chose to pair up with Jess Harding in a shock recoupling on 'Love Island'.
Leah Taylor left in tears on Love Island after shock recoupling
The 22-year-old project manager had been flirting with social media marketer Leah, 27, on the hit ITV2 reality dating show when he and his fellow Islanders were notified that an immediate recoupling would take place, and left Leah in tears after commenting that she had been a "test" piece.
Speaking on Sunday's (18.06.23) episode, she said: "It was really bad when all the boys were speaking and Sammy stood up and said 'Yeah, we've had a little test!' I was a bit like...sorry but he's come and pulled me for every single chat. Of course, I was flirting back but he was the one giving me them vibes. You haven't for a second since then just pulled me and been like 'Oh by the way, just so you know, I'm fooling with Jess.'
"How are you gonna be that flirty with me and say all that stuff and then just stand there and call me a test? I'm a human! I was a bit like that. I just felt so horrible. It's just rubbish, I didn't want someone to just flirt with me.
"That's just rubbish. It just makes me feel just rubbish. It's a bit out of order that Sammy just stood up there and labelled me as a test. That's so rude. I'm not here just to be someone's test! I feel like, yeah, it's just upsetting me!"
Leah was eventually coupled up with Mitch Taylor, who reasoned that she was "very down to earth" and quipped that she has a "good body" as well.
Zachariah Noble had been left single after Charlotte Sumner left the island on Friday so opted to pair up with Molly Marsh whilst Mehdi Edno decided to remain with Whitney Adebayo and Tyrique Hyde decided to return to Ella Thomas after a week of being coupled up with Leah.
'Love Island' continues tomorrow at 9PM on Virgin Media Two and Virgin Media Player, proudly sponsored by Virgin Media Mobile.
The reality show can also be seen on ITV2.
