Love Island's Lola Deal and Seán Fitzgerald have ignited a social media storm after Lola shared a series of pictures on Instagram that show her walking Sean like a dog on a pink lead. The post, captioned simply 'Good boy x', has left fans deeply divided, with some expressing horror and others defending the couple's sense of humour.
Fans react to the 'horrifying' photo dump
The couple, who became the first series 13 pair to make their relationship official after leaving the villa, have been enjoying a smooth transition into the outside world. Despite a few arguments between Lola and Julia Majchrzak during the show, Lola and Sean had a mostly trouble-free experience on the island. However, their latest Instagram post has drawn sharp reactions.
One fan commented: 'I'm sorry but this just isn't it.' Another wrote: 'Day ruined sound ?' A third person added: 'Do you guys remember the internet is forever? ?????.' The criticism was swift, with many fans expressing disbelief at the images.
Fellow Islanders weigh in
Even their fellow Love Island contestants shared their thoughts. Kavan Murphy commented: 'What have I just seen fitz ahaha?.' Yasmin Hadlow wrote: 'Was not expecting this when I opened insta ???.' The post also included a TikTok video of Lola walking Sean on the leash and stroking his head, which further fueled the debate.
Despite the backlash, many fans saw a funnier side to the pictures. One supporter wrote: 'People hating on this have no sense of humour?.' Another added: 'A bunch of haters! It is hilarious ya'll chill. They are proving ya'lls reactons ???.' Fellow Islander Priya Jaswal also saw the humour, commenting, 'I’m dying ???' and 'Lola looking tea x.'
Impact on the couple's public image
The post has sparked a broader conversation about the couple's public persona, with some fans questioning their judgment while others applaud their playful dynamic. As the first series 13 couple to go official, Lola and Sean continue to attract attention, both positive and negative, as they navigate life outside the villa. The debate over the Instagram post shows no signs of slowing down, with fans remaining sharply divided over the appropriateness of the images.
