LOVE Island fans are convinced the stars have been TOLD to invent a new show catchphase after they say “sauce” ten times in ONE minute.
It’s been dropped in conversation a few times this series, but viewers were irritated by its overuse in last night’s show.
It kicked off when Shaughna quizzed unlucky-in-love Nas was single. She said: “You don’t trust in your own sauce, which is wild because your sauce is..” and then imitated a chef’s kiss.
Nas then started stirring his “sauce”, with Shaughna telling him to “whip it real good”.
A few moments later, Nas was in a lads’ conversation with Connor, Callum and Connagh when they used the phrase a staggering ten times in 60 seconds.
Nas said: “With sauce, yes I have sauce, I’ve had it brewing.
“You can throw in all those different spices.
“Obviously I like the taste of it for a main dish to slap that sauce on.”
Sauce is used to describe someone with “style, confidence and swagger”.
Fans thought it was a definite plug for future promotional products.
One said: “Theyve clearly been told to use the word sauce as many times as possible, totally overdoing it #LoveIsland.”
Another added: “Primark rushing to make stirring the sauce t-shirts and water bottles #LoveIsland.”
Someone else said: “Cant wait to enter primark and see sauce branded on every bloody thing#LoveIsland.”
A fan added: “Im worried theyre going to try and make Sauce the buzzword for the year#LoveIsland.”
Love Island is famous for its catchphrases with the 2017 appearing to kick off unusual slang that ended up on T-shirts and other clothing -from melt to pied, d***sand to grafting.
Last series’ most famous phrases were fanny flutter, it is what it is and melt.
