After the Islanders chose to dump Joanna Chimonides and save Michael Griffiths on last night's show, many Love Island viewers though he may rekindle his romance with Amber Gill, after deciding NOT to leave alongside Joanna.

However, when Michael pulled the Geordie girl for a chat in the garden, viewers were left appalled at his behaviour, when he abruptly told Amber to "sit down", before telling her nothing has changed about his feelings.

Many shocked viewers blasted the fireman for his actions, admitting they thought he spoke to Amber 'like a dog'.

Reality TV star and Love Island super-fan Jake Quickenden wrote, 'Mate I’m sorry... Michael saying “ sit down “ was bang out I was half expecting him to say “ roll over “ afterwards so rude... you can get your point across and not be a d--k about it! #loveisland'. sic

Another viewer wrote, 'Seriously who does Michael think he is? telling amber to sit like a dog #loveisland', with a third adding, 'Did Michael really just tell Amber to ‘Sit Down’ she’s not a dog... damn girl, don’t roll over... bite back!! #loveisland'. sic

One viewer even expressed they think Michael should be kicked out of the villa for his behaviour. He tweeted, 'Michael needs to be kicked out the villa, how can he get away with talking to people like that?'. sic

It wasn't just viewers at home who found Michael's words offensive. After their short chat, Amber told the girls, "He's just f----ing odd. He comes to me and says 'Sit down.'"

Maura Higgins also hit back, saying, "Sit down? Don't tell me to sit down, who the f--k do you think you're talking to?"

Meanwhile, Amber wasn't the only girl Michael seriously annoyed during last night's episode. After their fellow Islanders chose to save him over Joanna, many were taken aback by his decision NOT to leave with her.

Joanna fumed, "If you found what you want then you better leave mate. But you clearly aren't so you're a f---ing snake."

As if this wasn't enough drama for one episode, Curtis Pritchard chose Maura over Francesca Allen, and THREE brand new bombshells were confirmed - Harley Brash, India Reynolds, and Greg O'Shea.

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."
