Love Island's Jess isn't happy with Matilda as they clash over same boy

The pair have both had their heads turned at Casa

Author: Alex RossPublished 4th Jul 2024

With the Casa Amor recoupling just around the corner now, this year's Casa bombshells are putting in the graft to win over the original Islanders, and it seems one boy has caught the eye of both Jess White and Matilda Draper.

Despite Jess being coupled up with Trey Norman and Matilda being coupled up with Sean Stone, 24-year-old Hugo Godfroy has been getting to know them both, and whilst it had looked like he was fully into Jess, on Wednesday night's show (3rd July), Matilda entered the equation.

After Matilda quizzed Hugo on how things are going with Jess, he said: “Things are going well, we have deep chats, it’s still flirty but I’m not closed off to getting to know people.”

Matilda replied: “I think looks wise, you’re probably the guy I’d fancy the most.”

Hugo added: “I’ll be honest, it is reciprocated, you are my type to a T. If I was to walk into a bar, you’d be the one I’d approach 100%”

Fuming at seeing Matilda crack on with Hugo, Jess expressed her frustrations to the other girls, before having a heated chat with Matilda the next morning.

Matilda confessed: "I'm doing absolutely nothing wrong by me having a conversation with him. That's why I went to bed p---ed off. That's why I've woken up p---ed off'.

Jess said: "I get your point of view, but I wouldn't do that when I can see my friend really getting on with someone and the feeling is reciprocated. You've not said that you want to get to know him. I'm sorry if you feel like I've caused that."

Matilda hit back saying: "I could not have been more respectful in this situation, but obviously i know you have you opinions too, it is what it is."

Speaking to bosses later in the show, Jess said: "She's woken up this morning with a face like a smacked a--e, It's like violins out for Matilda."

After seeing the drama play out, Love Island fans were quick to take to social media to express their opinions on the latest love triangle.

One wrote: 'I’m so confused why Jess thinks that Hugo belongs to her and that Matilda cannot talk to him. Help me understand this?!', with another adding: 'Why does Jess think she owns Hugo, I totally get how Matilda is feeling'. (sic)

Another added: 'Who knew Matilda would keep the spirit of Harriet alive in casa 😂', with a fourth commenting: 'Why all the hate towards Jess? If it was the other way round you would all be shouting girl code at her, she can’t win'. (sic)
