The new Love Islanders have confessed their biggest icks and yep! They’re ridiculous

Men aren’t allowed to use umbrellas apparently


If there’s one thing you can guarantee from a bunch of cheeky Nando’s lads and Fiat 500 girlies getting chucked in the winter Love Island villa, it’s that this bunch of Islanders will have some of the most stupid and petty icks known to man. And yep, sure enough – they didn’t let us down. In a revelation as predictable as Love Island producers actually using I’m Good (Blue) by David Guetta and Bebe Rexha as their episode music, this roundup of petty icks from the winter Love Island cast of 2023 will have you rolling your eyes til the cows come home.

Olivia – When men use brollys

We have to just get wet if Olivia has her way. When asked about her icks, the winter Love Island contestant said: “There’s a few… when guys have no pillows on their bed. I went into a guy’s room once and I was like, ‘You don’t have any pillows, where am I supposed to lay my head?’ He went and got one from the sofa.

“Also when men use umbrellas, it’s a really weird one but it’s just the thought of them running outside under the umbrella.”

Tanya – Men who are barefoot around the house

As a foot lover, I cannot endorse this. But Tanya says “Guys that don’t wear socks in the house. Why are your feet flapping all around the house? Guys have huge feet too, yuck. Also, guys in the bathtub with no bubbles, such an ick, no.”

Tanyel – Stingy men

“Someone who is tight and stingy, it makes me feel sick. If you’re tight, I will never see you again in my life, honestly!”

Lana – ‘???’ texts

“I don’t mind people texting me all the time but if you send me question marks if I’ve not replied to you in a while, you’re gone. That’s a really big red flag for me! Also if I see a guy trip over, that’s an instant turn off.”

Anna-May – Barbers pumping the seat up

Feels very very ‘arsh! “I don’t like people who brag or who are really materialistic. Another thing is watching a boy get his haircut and the barber pushing up the seat, you know the pumping thing? I used to go to the barber with my ex and I used to sit there and every time the barber would do it, I would have to look away.”

Kai – Girls saying ‘bro’

“Having smelly breath is one. And I don’t like a girl that calls me ‘mate’ or ‘bro’ and stuff like that.”

Ron – Patchy fake tan

The above three words are literally all he said on the matter.

Shaq – Rude people

Dunno if that basic dislike that everyone on earth share’s counts as an ick, but hey ho!

Will – ‘When someone’s rude’

Via ITV

Sorry but WHY are men so boring!!! Shock! He doesn’t like rude people!

Haris – Big feet

“Anything over a size five.” Well I’m an 11 doll, so what now?
