Fans of Love Island have expressed their dissatisfaction with a sex position challenge and have urged for a greater age limit for islanders.
The main villa and Casa Amor were pitted against each other on Monday’s show and had to compete in a series of racy activities, including kissing and posing in X-rated poses.
However, the reintroduction of the ‘raunchy race’ confused viewers, with many protesting about the age gap between bombshell Amber Wise, 19, and Tyrique Hyde, 24, after they snogged.
‘I can’t watch 19-year-olds snogging grown men on tv pls #LoveIsland,’ one viewer lamented to producers.
‘There should be like a 21 year age minimum cause why is this grown man talking to a 19 year old #loveisland,’ another argued.
I can’t watch 19 year olds snogging grown men on tv pls #LoveIsland

A third described the sex position challenge as’so cringe guy,’ which was mirrored by another fan who said there was ‘no innovation anymore’ on the ITV2 programme.
It comes after Love Island viewers chastised the programme for adding another ‘nepo baby’ to its roster.
Amber explained to her fellow islanders on Monday’s episode that she was searching for a companion who loves sports because she was raised by ex-Chelsea star Dennis Wise.
Fans were split by the announcement, with some comparing the young candidate to last year’s runner-up Gemma Owen, the daughter of former Liverpool star Michael Owen.
Twitter was buzzing with reactions to the new episode, with some blasting the programme for bringing on yet another celebrity offspring.
One penned: ‘ANOTHER nepo baby that’s too young to be on the show? did we not learn from last time? [sic].’
Another user said: ‘WHAT IS IT WITH THESE FOOTBALLERS LETTING THEIR 19 YEARS OLD GO ON THIS SHOW [sic].’
Danny Dyer’s daughter Danni Dyer is another celebrity offspring that has appeared on Love Island.
Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2.
