LIBERTY Poole’s family spoke out on Instagram last night after the Love Island couple reached a rocky patch in their romance.
The Brummie student’s next of kin, who have control of her social media whilst she’s in the villa, used the platform to address fans who claimed Jake, 24, has been “playing a game“.
They shared a post shortly after the water engineer told Liberty, 21: “I love you”.
Alongside a picture of the pair looking cosy in the villa they wrote: “Sounded genuine to us
“Liberty looks so happy but some of the girls having doubts!”
Although Liberty was over the moon about hitting the new milestone in their relationship, the rest of the girls don’t seem convinced.
The Love Island girls will all turn on Jake after finding out he confessed his love to Liberty – and they question his motives.
In a teaser for Sunday night’s episode, Chloe asks Liberty: “Do you not think he’s telling ou what he wants to hear?”
Liberty replies: “Is that what all you guys think? Do you think I’m being an idiot?”
Tonight the Western-super-Mare lad told the Brummie lass: “I feel like I’ve found what I’ve been looking for because I love you for you.
“It’s scary to say but I love you. I love you, Liberty I love you. You make me so happy.”
However, since Liberty found out Jake said he wasn’t sexually attracted to her, and that he egged on the boys to cheat on their partners, she’s been left questioning their relationship.
Before Jake confessed his love to his girlfriend, the pair had an intense chat tonight after she claimed he flirted with Mary Bedford.
The stunner confronted plumber Jake over her fears he’s been “mugging her off” all along after he spent the day talking to Casa Amor stunner Mary – who is coupled up with Aaron.
Liberty said: “I haven’t really spoken to you today. What’s going on?”
Swerving the question, he asked: “You tell me what’s going on?”
Liberty replied: “I do feel like since the whole rip the clothes off comment, I’ve been noticing a lot of similar things that have accumulated.
“We haven’t been spending a lot of time together recently.”
Jake then told her: “I don’t know what more I can say. You are my girlfriend. You are part of me.”
Speaking in the Beach Hut, Liberty expressed her doubts about the relationship.
She said: “He hasn’t given me a reason not to trust him so why am I letting trust issues from the past affect that?”
However, Liberty’s fears grew and she felt she and Jake needed to sit down and tell each other exactly how they feel.
Speaking on the terrace with Liberty, Jake persuaded her he is committed.
He said: “I’m at my happiest when I’m with you. Me and you together are very well suited and we are made for each other. That’s how I see things.”
The chat comes after Liberty told Chloe she felt Jake was taking her for granted and “mugging” her off.
Later she broke down in tears while getting ready for the evening.
She said: “I just feel like I’ve been having a rocky week.”
His behaviour left her wondering if he’s been playing up to the cameras – but fans have already spotted that Jake is “playing a game“.
