Love Island viewers discovered badly ‘staged’ moment on Friday night’s show

Whoops.

Love Island has been hit with even more accusations the series is fixed after Friday night’s episode.

This season, fans have been calling ‘fix’ on many moments – from controversial recouplings to noticeably missing items (like Georgia’s nails).

The latest blink-and-you-miss-it error happened during Friday night’s episode – and it involves Laura Anderson and Paul Knops.

Following the most recent recoupling, the pair were sitting by the hot tub and having a chat about all the drama, as well as how excited Laura was that Paul had picked her.

But as they were mid-conversation, it seems that the new couple went through some very abrupt changes.

As one person pointed out on Twitter: “Can’t be the only one to notice Paul and Laura jumping up two steps mid-conversation? The show is so staged this year and the producers can[‘t] even cover it up anymore.”

Not only did Paul and Laura miraculously hop up two steps mid-conversation, her wine glass – which had previously been pretty full – was drained.

It’s totally possibly Laura has some incredible magic abilities we just haven’t seen yet, which caused the wine to vanish without her missing a beat in her conversation with Paul.

Or maybe the drink disappeared into a void, along with the missing two steps.

Either way, Sunday 22 July’s episode looks to be drama-packed with one couple set to be dumped.
