Leah Taylor was left emotional after the latest Love Island recoupling. During the episode, the islanders were shocked by the 'unexpected' recoupling which saw the boys picking the girls. When it was Sammy Root's turn to make a decision, he cited his relationship with Jess Harding as being tested due to Leah's arrival.
Leah was obviously hurt after the recoupling and vented her frustrations to Molly Marsh. She said that Sammy had been flirting with her a lot, but hadn't even said he preferred Jess. She also felt that he wasn't honest with her about his connection with Jess.
Molly confronted Leah and soon after, Jess and Sammy had an explosive argument. Leah later spoke to Ella Thomas about the situation and said that she felt Sammy had handled it poorly. She asked him why he couldn't have the decency to tell her that he was just flirting for fun. Even other islanders found Sammy's reaction to be 'defensive'.
In the end, Sammy apologised to Leah for making her feel like their connection was just a 'little test'. Fans of the show felt bad for Leah too, with one person tweeting that Zach, Sammy, Mitchell and Tyrique had all used her as 'flirting practice'. Another tweet said that it was 'just rude' for two boys to use Leah as a 'test'.
The show went on to bring up other news, such as the speculation that 2016 contestant Kady McDermott is set to return to the villa.
