LOVE Island fans have turned on Tyler Cruickshank for his “smug” reaction in front of Kaz Kamwi during last night’s recoupling.
Tyler, 26, was seen returning to the villa with new girl Clarisse Juliette after the boys’ trip to Casa Amor came to an end.
ITV2 viewers have slammed Tyler’s reaction as he tried to shift the blame onto Kaz by pointing out that she had also recoupled.
After Tyler strolled in with Clarisse, Kaz told host Laura Whitmore: “I don’t really know what to say, to be honest. I feel like he just wasn’t honest with me from the beginning.
“He came in very focussed on just me and talked about everything on the outside world. But it took one or two days for him to be in bed with someone else.
“I kind of feel a bit blindsided but, do you know what, out with the old and in with the new.”
Tyler insisted the first few days of Casa Amor were “tough”, but “found a spark” with Clarisse and so decided to give romance with her a go.
Kaz, meanwhile, told Tyler and host Laura that she had spent the first few days sleeping on the sofa after the boys had gone.
This changed when a postcard arrived showing Tyler smooching Clarisse.
When Tyler pointed out that she “still recoupled”, Kaz replied: “I saw a picture of you kissing another girl, Ty. That’s why I recoupled. That was basically my green light to go.”

Laura asked Kaz:”If you hadn’t seen that picture, would you be recoupling?”
Shaking her head, she quietly replied: “No.”
Tyler’s smile was immediately wiped off his face when he learnt about the postcard.
Viewers were raging over Tyler’s smug reaction as he tried to get himself off the hook.
One wrote: “Tyler was so smug until Kaz said she saw a pic!!! #LoveIsland”
Another shared: “Tyler was looking so smug until Kaz said what she said about why she recoupled.”
A third added: “So enjoyable seeing Tyler squirm!!!”
TEMPERS FLARE
Tyler is set to have a fiery showdown on Sunday’s instalment, with Kaz accusing him of being “the biggest f***ing game player”, in a dramatic teaser.
Kaz rages: “Pick your words carefully because right now what I’m about to hear…”
Tyler tells her: “It sounds s***, don’t get me wrong…”
But Kaz shoots back: “I think you’re playing the biggest f***ing game!”
Furious, Tyler yells: “ME? Everything I’ve said to you…”
