Love Island fans grew concerned about Sammy and Jess’ future after watching their romantic declarations in the final.
Worried viewers spotted a huge clue that his feelings might not be genuine as he failed to give her any eye-contact, despite gushing about their romance.
Others felt that Jess appeared to be rather disinterested and fear she has “switched” off.
Discussing their relationship, a fan wrote: “Sammy is not even making eye contact with Jess while he talks about his wondering eye.”
Another tweeted: “No eye contact with Sammy.”
As someone else commented: “Jess defo can’t stand sammy anymore. She just looks tired of him.”
And a further Love Island added: “Who ever said it was right. Something about Jess seems off- like she’s not into Sammy as much anymore.”
During their declarations in the Love Island final, Jess told Sammy: “Knowing how much it takes for you to get strong feelings screams to me how serious and genuine our connection is.”
Sammy replied: “It took some time at the beginning of my journey to realise what I was risking but when I saw you walking towards the fire pit on your own after Casa, I instantly knew that you were all that I wanted, my wandering eye turned into my eye for Jess.”
