Fans have slammed Mike and Leanne’s lack of air time

Taking to Twitter, eagle-eyed fans drew attention to an adorable interaction shared by the couple, which was happening in the background of one of the scenes – and cut before the end.

In the clip, Leanne can be seen walking over to her beau, who stands and prepares to pick her up.

The moment is cut the second before he whisked her off her feet – with Shaughna Phillipsand new boy Connagh Howard who producers had actually chosen to focus on in that scene.

While Mike and Leanne are being adorable in the background, South London girl Shaughna is chatting to the new arrival before realising her original partner, Callum Jones, is watching.

She says: “Oh, look, we’ve got an audience here – do you want a drink?” before leading the new hunk away for a more private conversation.

It then cuts to Callum talking in the Beach Hut about his love rival.

Taking to Twitter, viewers fumed that they didn’t get to see the full loved-up display from Mike and Leanne, with one sharing a zoomed-in version of the clip alongside the caption: “Nah ITV are really not tryna give Mike and Leanne air time because how can they crop this?”

Another wrote: “Now why would they cut out Mike going to pick up Leanne? Theyre so cute, I hate it here.”

I'm MAD. There was a cute moment between Leanne and Mike and we didn't see it because they thought showing Shaughna and Connagh walk away was better. #LoveIsland

I bet the producers will only show us Leanne and Mike if things start to go downhill. It's so unfair #LoveIsland

Mike and Leanne coupled up in the very first episode, but their romance was almost cut short when twin Jess Gale stole the former police officer following her bombshell arrival.

It appeared that all hope was lost for the pair, only for Mike to admit just hours later that he couldn’t stop thinking about Leanne – and she gave him “butterflies”.

He soon told Jess that he didn’t want to pursue things with her, and the blonde star shocked fans when she fumed about how “shocked” she was that he preferred Leanne.

Mike and Leanne first coupled up on launch day

Mike even snubbed his and Jess’ bed to sleep in the all-new Dog House, with Leanne quick to join him for some late-night cuddles.

In last night’s recoupling ceremony, Mike chose Leanne following a heart-melting speech, and Jess’ sister Eve was sent home after they were both in the bottom two for failing to secure a man.

Jess was eventually chosen by Nas Majeed, who she had previously pulled for a chat in a bid to arrange a friendship coupling after he was also snubbed by partner Siannese Fudge.
