Love Island Fans Turn on Ben After “Gross” Remark Sparks Outrage
Love Island 2025 is barely underway, and already we’ve got fireworks, feuds, and fan fury. But one name is dominating the conversation — and not for the right reasons. Ben, one of the newest Islanders, has landed in hot water with viewers after a controversial comment during a tense moment that’s sent social media into overdrive.
So here's what went down. The season kicked off with Maya Jama welcoming 12 fresh-faced singles to the villa, all dreaming of love and fame. As expected, drama ignited instantly when bombshell Toni strutted in and chose to couple up with Ben — snatching him right from Shakira Khan, who was visibly blindsided. The twist? Anyone left single had just 24 hours to re-couple or get dumped. That left Shakira scrambling, while the villa buzzed with tension.

By the next episode, Shakira ended up sleeping alone, while the rest of the couples snuggled up. But what really set fans off wasn’t the coupling — it was Ben’s tone. While cozying up to Toni, Ben casually dropped a remark suggesting Shakira “needed to be humbled.” That did not sit well with viewers, who flooded social media with backlash. Comments like “Ben is gross,” and “Send Ben home,” began trending, with users questioning why he felt the need to belittle someone who just had her partner taken from her.
And Ben didn’t stop there. When Toni later made a harmless comment during a group chat — telling the boys “it’s your turn” and noting that “not everything is about you” — Ben took it personally and stormed off, claiming she gave him “the ick.” His behavior left other Islanders, and fans, scratching their heads. Even Meg questioned his reaction, calling it “a bit much.” Shakira, never far from the drama, clued Toni in on Ben’s comments, prompting her to confront him directly: “Did you say I give you the ick?”
Now, Ben finds himself isolated, with viewers calling for him to be axed from the show. Fans have voiced sympathy for Shakira, with many praising her composure while Ben tossed subtle digs her way. Meanwhile, Toni is already shifting her focus to Dejon — which could mean Ben’s days in the villa are numbered.
As the villa continues to heat up with new bombshells Shea and Remell arriving, it’s clear that no one is safe. But for Ben, the biggest danger might not be a recoupling — it could be the court of public opinion. Love Island fans don’t forget, and they certainly don’t forgive when someone crosses the line. Stay tuned — because if there’s one thing this show guarantees, it’s that karma always comes in swimwear.
