Love Island's Michael and Joanna have AWKWARD Aftersun reunion

Many called the moment 'cringe'

Author: Alex RossPublished 22nd Jul 2019

After Michael Griffiths' head was turned by Joanna Chimonides during Casa Amor, it looked like the pair could make it to the Love Island final, after Michael savagely dumped Geordie girl Amber Gill.

However, when Joanna was dumped during last week's brutal episode, Michael decided to stay, and later told Amber he still had 'feelings' when new boy Greg O'Shea showed interest in her.

So, after Michael was dumped alongside Francesca Allen on Sunday night's episode, the Liverpudlian was in for an awkward reunion with Joanna, when the pair appeared on Love Island: Aftersun with Caroline Flack.

Following Michael's interview, Joanna joined him on the sofa, where things quickly turned awkward when Caroline asked about the fireman's actions in the villa.

Speaking about the moment he told Amber he 'still had feelings', Michael said, "Those feelings never actually go away. At that point me and Amber had just made up and I’d apologised and at that point I don’t know if that’s a feeling of friendship or something more.

"People at certain points in life will be attracted to two different people. It’s just that mine is on TV. You can have feelings for more than one person."

Joanna was quick to hit back, saying, "The thing is I asked you several times…"

Viewers were quick to comment on the awkward reunion, expressing their thoughts on Twitter...

Despite the cringeworthy interview, Michael was quick to hint he'd like to rekindle things with Joanna, telling Caroline, "I want to speak to Joanna to be honest. I know she’s not thinking about rekindling but the whole thing has been on my mind the whole time."

We can't wait to see what happens next!

Meanwhile, with just one week to go until the 2019 Love Island final, things are certainly heating up in the villa! On Monday night's show, viewers will get to see another dramatic challenge, which will show the Islanders reading tabloid stories about themselves. 👀

TOMMY STOLE LUCIE FROM JOE

After surfer girl Lucie coupled up with Joe on the first episode of the series, things seemed to get off to a good start... before Tommy entered hours later.


Tommy chose to couple up with Lucie, stealing her from poor Joe. He said in the Beach Hut, "At the moment the girl I want to pursue is going to be Lucie. She's a surfer, she goes to the gym. Her body is banging. She has beautiful eyes, a beautiful face, beautiful everything."
