Love Island fans have expressed their frustration after Ellie Chadwick appeared to consider taking Finley Maddock back, despite his romantic date and kiss with newcomer Elicia Bailey. The drama unfolded during the latest episode of the ITV2 reality show, leaving viewers divided over Ellie's decision.
Finley's Head Turned by Elicia
After Casa Amor, Ellie and Finley had become firm fan favourites, seemingly on track to win the £50,000 prize. However, Finley's head was turned by bombshell Elicia Bailey, leading to a messy situation. Ellie had previously threatened to "stand on business" and walk away if Finley pursued anything with Elicia, but after their date and kiss, she appeared to waver.
Ellie's Reaction to the Kiss
Following his date with Elicia, Finley told Ellie that he kissed Elicia because he felt he "owed it to himself." He then expressed that he still wanted Ellie, prompting her to respond, "You're actually taking the p--- out of me, right?" Despite her anger, Ellie left the door open for reconciliation, stating, "You do understand that if you want to try and do this with me, you've got a lot of coming back to go from?" She added, "You're either all in with me or you're not."
Fan Reactions on Social Media
After the episode aired, fans took to Instagram to share their disappointment. One viewer commented, "Wow so Ellie is taking him back? Mad. I had so much respect for her." Another wrote, "I love Ellie but she'd be the friend who keeps getting hurt, rants to you about it then goes back to him anyway." A third said, "Ellie has lost me cause umm why are you even considering letting him work his way back??? He's already shown him how he wants to move. What do you mean you'll see how he moves?????" Another added, "Ellie shouting and screaming only to take him back?"
What's Next for Ellie and Finley?
The consensus among viewers is that Ellie should not give Finley another chance. However, after Finley was seen lying in bed chatting to Elicia following his conversation with Ellie, it remains to be seen whether Ellie will ultimately decide to end things. Love Island continues tonight at 9PM on ITV2 and ITVX.
