LOVE Island fans have urged Sophie Piper to “run” after Connor Durman snapped at her for a threesome joke on the very first date.
The pair were coupled together in the opening ceremony after entering the villa, and they appeared to have their first tiff just hours later.
Despite getting along like a house on fire earlier in the day, things appeared tense when the Islanders were gathered around the firepit for a game of Truth or Lie.
During the game, 25-year-old Connor boasted about having a threesome with a girl he went home with and her flatmate.
Sophie, 21, looked shocked by the revelation but didn’t react, and when Mike Boateng later said that he’d slept with less than 20 women she gestured at his partner Leanne Amaning and joked: “You’ve got yourself a keeper, not one that has a threesome on a first date.”
Grumpy Connor immediately crossed his arms and recoiled away from Sophie, muttering: “You hate me tonight.
“You’re hating me.”
As the brunette beauty playfully protested, the hunk remained visibly annoyed as he added: “You’re digging me out already, you are.”
The hiccup was interrupted by a text announcing twin sisters Eve and Jess Gale’s bombshell arrival, but viewers at home were not able to let the moment go.
Taking to Twitter, they slammed Connor’s behaviour with one writing: “Connor already being problematic, why he look like he was about to lose his s**t over a joke? Girl, RUN”.
Everyone seems to be ignoring the fact that Connor was on the verge of tears when Sophie made fun of him. What a wet wipe #LoveIsland pic.twitter.com/fWGSvNbLb5

The way Connor bought Sophie down for having a joke and his tone of voice. Red flag number 1

A second agreed: “Nah I actually cant believe how quick Connor changed with Sophie”.
Another asked: “Am I the only one who saw Connor nearly have a breakdown over a joke?”
One concerned fan tweeted: “Sophie better get rid of Connor asap, like how is he getting moody with her for laughing at a topic he brought up to gass himself??”
Another warned: “The way Connor bought Sophie down for having a joke and his tone of voice. Red flag number 1”.
Earlier in the evening, Sophie’s famous sister Rochelle Humes took to Instagram to throw her support behind her.
The star shared a drawing made by her six-year-old daughter Alaia as she encouraged her sibling to bring home a “nice boy”.
