Most would agree that Love Island on Friday was painful to watch. Even if you still haven't caught up on the episode, it would have been difficult to miss the debate Faye sparked. During the episode, Faye screamed at Teddy - after watching a video during the Mad Movies challenge, which showed Teddy saying he was 'sexually attracted' to Clarisse, one of the Casa Amor newcomers. Because Teddy didn't tell Faye this upfront, she took incredible offence and thought he was lying to her - this was even though he was, bar Jake, the most loyal is Casa Amor, happily sleeping outside.
Whether or not you can empathise with why Faye might have been upset - she looked and sounded like a woman who has been scorned by men in the past, and has previously spoken about her commitment issues - it's undeniable that the way she went about things was terrible.
She unleashed absolute hell on the villa, shouting at everyone, even the girls - for a very long time. But it was Teddy who her ire was really focused on. Faye called him a 'prick', gave him her middle finger and told him to 'fuck off' numerous times. Somehow, throughout the entire furore, Teddy remained calm - not raising his voice once. It's what made it even more baffling that Faye continued to shriek at him, when he continued to be kind and understanding, even when she was calling him every bad word under the sun. He also - understandably - seemed upset with Faye's behaviour, going to bed with sunglasses on, which viewers presumed were to stop people seeing him crying.
The argument didn't make for good TV, as perhaps producers might have hoped. Faye looked like a woman on a mission to cause maximum hurt, while she was undoubtedly hurting herself (this doesn't excuse her actions, though). For once, Iain Stirling's jokes about there being another round of the fight, like a boxing match, just didn't land. And we can't imagine it must have been nice for anyone to witness in the villa.
But one of the most baffling things - noted by many on social media - is that none of her friends on the island directly called her out, saying she was over exaggerating and being aggressive. (Apart from Dale and Matt, who insinuated that she was being childish.)
At times, the women looked clearly uncomfortable. There was a look of shock on Abi and Kaz's face when she said she was going to 'fall out with every prick in this place' after Dale and Matt responded to her shouting. But what Faye needed in that moment was one, any, of them to rise up to her and gently ask if she's OK. And to then tell her that she might regret shrieking: a. because of how awful it was making Teddy feel and b. as it's going out on TV, surely some of the islanders must have realised it wouldn't be a good look for her.
Sometimes the best thing is tell your friends when they're in the wrong, even if it's really awkward and uncomfortable. Even if you're worried that they might not take your advice so well at the time.
Later, Faye admitted to Millie that she saw the error of her ways, something which was shown in an unseen clip on Aftersun. But it was too late. The damage has been done. 'I feel bad, I feel shit that I blew up the way I did. I am sorry for what I've done, there is no excuse for it, there is no excuse for the way I just flew out off the handle,’ she said. ‘But I just want to move forward with it. If anything, it’s made me realise what I want. Yesterday was like… well it makes you realise that if he was stood there and he went home, I would literally have been like that’s okay, because I’m off too.'
If only she'd come to that realisation a day before.

The Best Love Island Bombshells...
1 of 17Maura Higgins (series five)
Irish ring girl Maura Higgins was reality TV gold from the moment she stepped into the villa and fed Michael Griffiths dessert on their date just to rile up the OG girls.She then got the fanny flutters for Tommy Fury and tried to steal him from Molly-Mae Hague with the classic line, 'Does she turn you on like I do?' While she didn't manage to bag her man, she later coupled up with Curtis Pritchard who she dated until March 2020.
2 of 17Joanna Chimonides (series five)
Casa Amor is always guaranteed to throw a spanner in the works, but Michael Griffiths was seemingly happily coupled up Amber Gill before she was sent packing to the second villa.Enter Joanna Chimonides - one of six brand new bombshells - who well and truly turned Michael's head. He suddenly began doubting his relationship with Amber and left her shocked when she returned to the villa alone to discover he'd re-coupled. Still, she went on to win the show and bag half of the 50 grand prize, so it worked out pretty well for her in the end.
3 of 17Molly Smith (series six)
Speaking of Casa Amor, Molly Smith joined the 2020 series as part of the infamous twist and it wasn't long before she was necking on with Callum Jones - all the while, his partner Shaughna Phillips was staying loyal back in the main villa.Their shock re-coupling spawned one of the show's most iconic catchphrases as a gobsmacked Shaughna uttered the immortal words, 'Congrats, hun,' but Callum and Molly are still going strong these days so he probably made the right decision

4 of 17Jack Fowler (series four)
Laura Anderson soon got over having Wes Nelson stolen from her by Megan Barton-Hanson (more on that later) when Jack Fowler entered the villa.They immediately hit it off but things didn't get off to the smoothest start when her friend Georgia Steel invited him on a date and then claimed that he tried to kiss her. Footage later showed it was actually Georgia who went in for the kiss. Awks...
5 of 17Malia Arkian (series two)
Malia Arkian caused a right stir back in 2016 when she lasted all of about five minutes in the villa before being booted out for allegedly punching Kady McDermott.Kady was fuming with Malia for choosing to date Scott Thomas, who she was coupled up with, and 'accidentally' spilled a glass of wine on the newcomer which led to one of the show's most dramatic altercations.
6 of 17Megan Barton-Hanson (series four)
Wes Nelson and Laura Anderson were one of Love Island 2018's strongest couples (or so we thought) until Megan Barton-Hanson strutted into the villa as a bombshell.Meg set her sights on Wes following her failed romance with Eyal Booker and managed to turn his head, causing him to tell Laura he was 'happy with her but could be happier'. Not exactly what you want to hear from your other half is it?
7 of 17Alex Bowen (series two)
Former scaffolder Alex Bowen turned many a head when he entered the villa with fellow bombshell James Khan (no, us neither). Not only did he flirt up a storm Olivia Buckland but he spent the night in the hideaway with Zara Holland, who was stripped of her Miss Great Britain title after they had sex.After receiving the bad news, a tearful Zara quit the villa in emotional scenes while Alex remained in the villa and coupled up with Olivia - who's now his wife.
8 of 17India Reynolds (series five)
Okay, so she technically didn't do anything wrong but India Reynolds was partly responsible for one of the show's most iconic bust-ups EVER when Jordan Hames made a move on her just two days after asking Anna Vakili to be his girlfriend.After catching wind of Jordan's antics thanks to Maura Higgins, Anna furiously confronted him and the rest is history.
9 of 17Georgia Harrison (series three)
Former TOWIE star Georgia Harrison was the last bombshell sent into the villa back in 2017 and was given the unenviable task of choosing a boy to couple up with straight away. She ended up picking Kem Cetinay, who unbeknown to her had just asked Amber Davies to be his girlfriend. SO AWKWARD. Amber's shocked reaction became an iconic meme and she wasn't afraid to speak her mind, branding Georgia a 'd--k''. Ouch.

10 of 17Jess Shears (series three)
When you're a Love Island contestant, the one thing you can expect is the unexpected. Case in point when model Jess Shears entered the villa as bombshell just when the Islanders were settling into their new couples on the first day.This proved to be bad news for Montana Brown who was smitten with Dom Lever but later had her man stolen by Jess. It was clearly a good choice though as Jess and Dom got married in 2018 and welcomed their first child a year later.
11 of 17Katie Salmon (series two)

12 of 17Jourdan Riane (series five)
Curtis Pritchard and Amy Hart were one of the villa's strongest couples going into Casa Amor so surely he would stay loyal, right? WRONG.Despite being Amy's half-boyfriend, Curtis admitted he would couple up with newcomer Jourdan (even though they'd only had about two conversations). After being turned down by Jourdan, a guilty Curtis 'fessed up to Amy who was about to tell him she LOVED him. Oh dear...
13 of 17Chris Hughes (series three)

14 of 17Kaz Crossley (series four)
Josh Denzel was one of the many Islanders to be tempted by a Casa Amor bombshell despite being coupled up with 'loyal' Georgia Steel in the main villa.He returned from the second villa with Kaz Crossley in tow, leading to one of Love Island's most memorable meltdowns when Georgia screamed that Josh had 'f--ked it'.
15 of 17Ovie Soko (series five)

16 of 17Ellie Jones (series four)
Love Island producers threw a right spanner in the works for power couple Dani Dyer and Jack Fincham when they brought in his ex Ellie Jones during Casa Amor.A devastated Dani was shown a video of Jack chatting to his ex, resulting in over 2000 complaints to Ofcom. She didn't have anything to worry about though as Jack stayed loyal but Ellie did enter the main villa after coupling up with Sam Bird which wasn't ideal.
17 of 17Emma Jane Woodham (series two)
Ellie wasn't the first ex to enter the villa though - that honour goes to series two's Emma Jane Woodham, who'd previously dated fellow Islander Thomas Powell. He was SHOOK when she arrived and later quit the show.As if that wasn't enough, Emma coupled up with Terry Walsh even though he'd promised to stay loyal to Malin Andersson and they caused quite the controversy when they had sex on top of the covers for all to see.
