Love Island viewers confused as they spot random man in the bushes

Love Island kicked off for a brand new series on Sunday night, with new couples left, right and centre; but while twelve Islanders got familiar with the villa, some fans actually spotted there were THIRTEEN in total.

Yes, some eagle-eyed viewers caught sight of a mysterious man in the bushes and obviously took to Twitter to identify the lurker.

It happened during a conversation between Connor Durman and Sophie Piper on Sunday night's launch show, who were getting to know each other after the first coupling of the series.

As the pair discussed previous relationships, family life and their jobs back in England, fans saw a stranger was hiding in the bushes.

And many fans weren't happy with the editing gaffe, as some took to Twitter to express their confusion.

One user tweeted, 'Who the hell is this, just hiding in the bushes...? #LoveIsland', while another commented, 'Who's the guy in the bush?' sic

A third user said, 'Was there someone in the bush just then or was that me?' and a fourth added, 'Who's that lurking in the bushes?' sic

However, fans' anger soon turned to laughter as a fifth joked, 'Spot the man in the bushes!'

Other suggested it was Paige Turley's ex Lewis Capaldi spying on her, ;Did anyone else notice @LewisCapaldi hiding in the bushes of #LoveIsland this evening?' and another joked, 'Lewis Capaldi is deffo hiding in the bushes stalking his ex.' sic

Presumably, the man is a cameraman but it seems to have ruined the magic of the show slightly?
