Email tips@dailymail.co.uk By LAURA PARKIN Published:00:53 BST, 31 July 2025 |Updated:02:31 BST, 31 July 2025 Advertisement Love Island fans branded Wednesday night's talent show the 'worst' in villa history as the baffling segment saw Helena read while Yasmin showed off her posture. Over the years ITV2 viewers have been treated to classics like Indiyah Polack's recorder playing, Chris Hughes and Kem Cetinay's impressive rapping and Millie Court's piano performance. But it seems this year's Islanders had little to offer with no musical talents on offer for the 'Love Island band.' Taking to the stage for the performance fans saw hula hooping, a magic trick, juggling and Blu hit the deck when his boxing talent took an unfortunate turn. Cach kicked things off as he showed off his dance moves, whilst Yas balanced a book on her head. Helena then delivered a flight-themed roast aimed at her co-stars, but fans were left confused and questioned if her talent was just 'reading from a script.'

They wrote: 'Omg this series has got to be the worst in love island history what kind of talent show is this?'; 'Where is my annual musical talent that inevitably endears me to the islander? 'The final week of love island is when it becomes unbearable to watch, because no I don’t want to see Dejon forcing everyone to lift kettle bells in the name of talent'; 'After watching the talent show can see why they are on Love Island...'; 'I don’t think we’ll be adding to the love island band tonight. Not a single musical talent.'; 'This is a talent show not a career fair'; 'The talent show is the biggest ick known to man'; 'This is the worst talent show of the season.' Earlier in the episode, Love Island viewers were left shocked as the girls proved the divide was still well and truly in place. Called the biggest divide in the show's history, the entire series has centred around the ongoing feud between the two groups of girls: Shakira, Toni and Yas versus Meg and Helena. The Islanders continued to take part in the tense Couple Goals challenge - but when the Islanders were asked 'Which couple are you most scared to give your honest opinion on?' shockwaves were sent through the Villa. But it seems this year's Islanders had little to offer with no musical talents on offer for the 'Love Island band' Taking to the stage for the performance fans saw hula hooping, a magic trick, juggling and Blu hit the deck when his boxing talent took an unfortunate turn Cach kicked things off as he showed off his dance moves, whilst Yas balanced a book on her head Giving their verdict on X, fans slammed the lack of talent and shared their disappointment over none of the Islander's playing an instrument Giving their verdict on X, fans slammed the lack of talent and shared their disappointment over none of the Islander's being able to play an instrument Shakira and Harry chose Meg and Dejon, which did not go down well. 'I think if people were honest in the first place and told us to our faces instead of saying it constantly behind our back, it would be a different story,' Meg raged. Shakira responded: 'You throwing around the fake word is rich to be honest. I don't know why you keep acting like we're the best of mates in here. 'From day one, you were very standoffish with any girl that was posed as a threat.' 'I think you've called every single person in this Villa fake,' Meg bit back, to which Shakira said: 'No, I will never pretend to be your mate.' Meg interrupted 'You won't be my friend on the outside' before Shakira said: 'I will never speak to you on the outside. I honestly can't stand you sometimes.' But that wasn't all because when it comes to Meg and Dejon's turn to answer, both Meg and Blu become embroiled in a back and forth with Toni before Blu brands Toni a 'pick-me girl'. The chaos came just two episodes after Toni brought the girls around the firepit to try and bridge the divide and call a truce.
