Eve, 45, performed a selection of her biggest tracks for the couples, including the iconic Who’s That Girl.
During the show her VIP appearance was teased with a text message.
Reading the text out, Nicole said: “Islanders, it’s time to slay as tonight the Villa will host a VIP performance that will blow your mind. #whosthatgirl”
However, Love Island fans at home are sure the Islanders didn’t know who Eve was.
They even suggested producers told them to act excited as they filmed them getting ready for the event.
Posting on social media, one fan said: “I like Eve but I know for a FACT other than who’s that girl and Tambourine these lot don’t know Eve bops.”
A second wrote: “As if anyone knows who Eve is! Generational gap!”
“I’m saying did the producers give them a lyric sheet to revise off of bc ik they don’t know Eve,” said a third.
While a fourth commented: “This cast don’t deserve Eve. Give them Jedward or something.”
Love Island has been hit with thousands of complaints over the years - here are the most moaned about moments
Dani’s tears: in 2018, Ofcom received 2,644 complaints when Dani Dyer was left in floods of tears over Jack Fincham during the Casa Amor. Viewers felt the show had been manipulated to make it appear Jack was going to cheat, when in fact he wasn’t. And poor Dani didn’t learn the truth for days.
Maura fury: Although she later won over the public, Maura Higgins got off to a bad start in 2019. After arriving as a bombshell, she made a beeline for Tommy Fury – who was coupled up with Molly-Mae Hague – and tried to kiss him while straddling him on a daybed. 709 people accused her actions as ‘sexual harassment’.
Faye explodes: The 2021 series of Love Island remains the most complained series about yet. 4,330 complaints were made to Ofcom after Faye Winter received a postcard from Casa Amor, which appeared to show her fella Teddy Soares kissing a bombshell. But a whopping 24,763 complaints flooded in when Faye came face-to-face with Teddy again. Faye’s shocking outburst even sparked a reaction from male domestic abuse charity, ManKind Inititive, who branded her ‘unacceptable’.
Bish bash: The following year, the fallout from Movie Night sparked 3,617 Ofcom complaints. Fans of the show were horrified by Luca Bish’s harsh reaction when Gemma Owen was shown speaking to bombshell Billy Brown.
Muggy Mitch: Almost 1,000 Ofcom complaints flooded in last year in the final week of Love Island. Viewers were unimpressed with Mitchel Taylor’s treatment of Abi Moores and felt he was ‘targeting’ her. Fans even urged Love Island bosses to check on Abi’s ‘mental health and welfare’.
