Overview

• During the July 20 Snogathon challenge, Dejon Noel-Williams gave Yasmin Pettet a zero-out-of-ten score for her kiss, triggering immediate backlash from fellow islanders at the firepit.
• When Yasmin tried to pull him aside later, he declined her request for a private chat, saying he was eating and refusing to engage.
• Late Monday, Dejon apologized to Yasmin on camera, explaining he had been in the wrong headspace and meant his feedback as a joke.
• Viewers took to social media claiming Love Island producers prompted the apology and questioned its authenticity on platforms like X.
• The episode has underscored how the show’s challenge format and audience voting continue to heighten villa tensions and shape upcoming votes.
