Love Island 2021 ended its first week with another cliffhanger on Sunday, 4 July, and DJ Nick Grimshaw clearly shared many viewers' frustrations!

The entire episode centered on the newest bombshell to enter the villa, 29-year-old Rachel Finni. Rachel made her appearance after the first full round of recoupling last Friday. With Brad McClelland and Chuggs Wallis left single, both lads were given just 24 hours to try and win Rachel’s affections, or they’d officially be dumped from the villa!

Given there wasn’t a new episode on Saturday night, viewers had to wait an extra day to find out who Rachel would pick, so everyone tuned in expecting to see Love Island 2021’s second dumping last night!

Despite the episode being about 15 minutes longer than episodes that aired throughout the week, we were still left on a massive cliffhanger at 10:15pm! Just as Rachel was about to reveal which boy she’d chosen to couple up with, the show cut to the credits, leaving us waiting till tomorrow night to find out!

Nick Grimshaw blasted the episode as a "waste of time", and added in another, swearier tweet "if I tune in tomorrow and she says the word “Chuggs” I am leaving the planet".

Nick Grimshaw was far from the only person who was frustrated with the latest episode, though! Plenty of fans took to social media to express how annoyed they were at the continued use of cliffhanger endings in the latest season!

Hopefully, tonight's episode of Love Island will be full of drama to make up for yesterday. At least we'll finally find out who Rachel has decided to pick and, crucially, who the first boy dumped from the villa will be!

Love Island 2021 continues Monday 5 July at 9pm on ITV2. You can catch up on ITV Hub and can also watch the latest episodes ad-free on BritBox the following morning.
