LOVE Island fans are convinced show bosses "deleted" scenes leading up to Toni Laites and Emily Moran's shock spat - giving the American a "villain edit."
It came as US Islander Toni, 24, and Welsh beauty Emily, also 24, clashed in fiery scenes on Friday, with the former accusing her costar of being nosey on the ITV2 dating series.
Toni - who arrived as the first bombshell of the series - became annoyed after hearing a conversation between Emily and Conor Phillips, 25.
The row then started after Emily accused Las Vegas pool cabana server Toni of talking behind her back.
She was then warned by Meg that Toni had said she was being "nosey" and described her as "Little Miss Sunshine."
Toni was also seen talking about Emily to Shakira, who agreed with Toni's views.
Following their row, an exasperated Emily said she thought Toni was "just trying to cause a problem," and claimed: "She's f****g nuts."
Yet after Toni had cemented herself as Love Island 2025 show favourite, fans were quick to smell a rat at her typically uncharacteristic conduct.
One took to X to muse: "Toni is so calm and collected so she’s peeped something crazy that Emily’s done for her to act like that. PRODUCERS NEED TO SHOW US!"
A second put: "I’m so confused where this random drama between Toni and Emily has come from?? I swear it’s not been referenced at all before now."
A third mused: "The cast is unhinged where the HELL did that come from with Toni and Shakira I was gobsmacked."
One then added: "Toni’s definitely saw something we haven’t they’re giving us the villain edit."

Another noted: "Toni’s crash out is valid because the producers have edited something we haven’t seen, so I still support her!"
One then concluded: "Feel like Toni’s beef with Emily is so unprovoked???"
BULLY BEHAVIOUR?
Even though Toni's fans were out in full force, other viewers watching at home accused the Islanders of bullying due to previous instances of her gossiping about Emily without her knowledge.
"Toni wanted to be the IT girl so bad and is now just trying anything to stay relevant causing problems when Emily hasn’t done anything wrong, when actually she just looks like a bully," wrote one Love Island fan on X, formerly Twitter.
Another added: "You all love Toni but last year you all hated Jess saying she was a bully?!?!?!"
A third wrote: "Toni is like a school ground bully, poor Emily her and Shakira are 2 b*****s."
ROUGH PATCH
It comes amid a tricky time for Toni, who caused hysterics with a wardrobe malfunction earlier in the week.
Toni hasn't had the easiest ride in the villa overall, and on Wednesday night she was almost dumped from the villa
New islander Harrison was faced with choosing between Toni and Malisha, after they both found themselves single in the latest recoupling.
They both then went on a date with Harrison, before he chose Toni, meaning Malisha went home.
