Love Island Fans Divided As Indiyah Mispronounces Her Partner's Name

Love Island fans were pretty divided during Tuesday (7 June) evening's episode after Indiyah Polack struggled to remember her partner Ikenna Ekwonna’s name.

You can watch the moment below:

The mishap occurred during a conversation with Amber Beckford. Indiyah and Amber were discussing how they were feeling about the boys they are currently coupled up with, but Indiyah stumbled over Ikenna's name.

Calling him 'Ikanu', Amber said: "Sorry, what did you just call him?!"

Recognising it was 'disrespectful', Indiyah asked Amber for her help, but she wasn't having any luck either, thinking Ikenna was called 'Ikka'.

And viewers at home were divided, while some found the conversation amusing, others agreed it was disrespectful.

One person wrote on Twitter: "CRYING AT AMBER AND INDIYAH NOT KNOWING IKENNA’S NAME."

While another said: "Amber and Indiyah not knowing Ikenna’s name is the highlight."

And a third commented: "Indiyah and Amber tryin remember this man’s name is taking me out."

Another said: "Not Indiyah forgetting Ikenna’s name plssss."

Meanwhile, some were less than impressed, with another adding: "Can we mention how Indiyah was rude about Ikenna's first name too?????"

And another wrote: "Indiyah and Amber pls Ikenna is not a difficult name to grasp."

Another added: "Indiyah and Amber not knowing Ikenna’s name, so rude and disrespectful, same as Gemma was last night!"

Over on Indiyah's Instagram, her friends - who are running the account - shared a number of messages from viewers who feel Indiyah and Ikenna aren't a good match.

"Oh gosh y’all aren’t feeling it at all... But let’s remember to be mindful y’all, it’s the first episode and Ikenna looks like a sweetheart," they wrote.

Also in Tuesday's episode of Love Island, viewers watched as Davide Saclimenti chose to couple up with Gemma Owen, leaving Liam Llewellyn vulnerable.

But there are two new girls set to enter the villa during Wednesday's ep, Afia Tonkmor and Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu.

Afia, 25, is a lounge host at a private members club, while Ekin-Su, 27, is an actress from Essex. Speaking ahead of her entrance into the villa, Ekin-Su said: "I’m looking for that real genuine spark and they just see me as me."

Meanwhile Afia explained: "I fall in love quickly, too quickly, two dates I am like, 'OMG I am obsessed with this boy, he’s everything'."

We can't wait to see tonight's drama!

Love Island

continues on Wednesday 8 June at 9pm on ITV2.
