A "Love Island" contestant stunned fans by calling his love life "tragic" in front of the woman he most recently coupled up with.

Hugo Hammond was one of four contestants to leave the villa in the latest episode after not being saved by his fellow contestants. In his exit interview next to his current partner Amy Day, Hammond was not too positive about his time in the villa.

Hammond said: "My search for love in there, erm, "tragic" is probably the word for it." To this, Day, who was standing next time him, widen her eyes in shock.

"I'll walk away with my head with my head held high, I stayed true to myself and I look forward to the next chapter of what life has in store for Mr Hammond," Hammond continued.

Fans noticed Day's reaction and expressed their shock on Twitter.

Journalist Victoria Sanusi wrote: "My search for love in the villa was tragic' Hugo has no self awareness. Look at Amy's reaction."

Another person wrote: "ERM HUGO DID YOU NOT REALISE THAT YOUR "TRAGIC" COUPLE WAS STANDING NEXT TO YOU "

Body positive activist Michelle Elman also wrote: "Hugo's speech at the end didn't even pretend that he liked Amy. Not even a mention and Amy didn't even get to speak."

During Day's exit interview in last night's episode, she was a lot more positive saying: "I'm a bit sad that my journey has been cut short, but short and sweet, that's how I like it."

However, The Mirror reported that in her full exit interview Day branded Hammond as "fake" and said their relationship changed when they returned to the main villa.

"It was almost instant, the next day, he was very hot and cold," she added. "He would never naturally choose to come and chill with me. So for me, it felt it was all for show."

During his time in the villa, Hammond had coupled up with four different islanders but did not find a romantic spark with any of them. Hammond was rejected by Chloe Burrows after friend-zoning AJ Bunker and Sharon Gaffka.

The PE teacher coupled up with Day in Casa Amor but expressed in recent episodes that he was not satisfied with their relationship when they returned to the villa.
