Love Island

Love Island may have started last night with new couples left, right and centre; but while twelve Islanders got familiar with the villa last night some fans actually spotted there were THIRTEEN in total.

Yep, some eagle-eyed viewers caught sight of a mysterious man in the bushes and obviously took to Twitter to identify the lurker.

It happened during a conversation between Connor Durman and Sophie Piper, who had just stepped forward to couple up and were getting to know each other.

As the pair discussed previous relationships, family life and their jobs back in England, fans saw a stranger was hiding in the bushes.

Casual.

And many fans weren't happy with the editing gaffe, as some took to Twitter to express their confusion.

One user tweeted, "Who the hell is this, just hiding in the bushes...? #LoveIsland", while another commented, "Who's the guy in the bush?"

A third user said, "Was there someone in the bush just then or was that me?" and a fourth added, "Who's that lurking in the bushes?"

However, fans' anger soon turned to laughter as a fifth joked, "Spot the man in the bushes!"

Other suggested it was Paige Turley's ex Lewis Capaldi spying on her, "Did anyone else notice @LewisCapaldi hiding in the bushes of #LoveIsland this evening?" and another joked, "Lewis Capaldi is deffo hiding in the bushes stalking his ex."

Presumably, the man is a cameraman but it seems to have ruined the magic of the show slightly?

But there's no doubt Iain Stirling will make a reference to it in tonight's show.
