LOVE Island fans are demanding Casa Amor girl Diamanté Laive stays on the show after her brutal clash with Jess White.
Diamanté, 21, hilariously clapped back at Jess, 25, as they exchanged blows in tonight’s installment of the show.
ITV2 viewers were left in hysterics when the business owner put Jess ‘in her place’ during the latest recoupling.
Diamante had snickered when Uma learnt that her show partner Wil wasn’t entirely loyal during his time in Casa.
Jess remarked: “It’s not really funny, is it?” to which Diamante replied: “Jess, don’t even.”
The retail manager fired back: “It’s a bit mean, isn’t it? The poor girl’s nearly crying.”
Diamante fumed: “Yeah, I’m not laughing at that. Just… you’re not one to talk. Just leave me alone, please.”
Taking to X, formerly Twitter, fans agreed that they wanted the Beckenham-native to be kept on.
One wrote: “Bring DIAMANTÉ BACK so she can continue to clock JESS’s TEAAAAA,” while another added: “Diamanté beefing jess.. DO IT AGAIN!”
Someone else agreed: “Lmaooo I love Diamante & I really don’t think she was laughing at Uma it seems like jess just wanted a moment.”
A fourth posted: “Diamanté clocked Jess? Omg. Love her!!!!”
Unfortunately for some, Diamanté ended up being axed from the show after failing to find a connection.
Jess, however, remained – having coupled up with Hugo Godfroy.
During yesterday’s episode, fans turned on her amid fears she could be the “real villain” of the series.
On Wednesday night’s show, as Casa Amor week continued, Jess was seen on the balcony speaking to Matilda Draper.
Considering the pair had both expressed an interest in Hugo, the girls were discussing their feelings towards the newcomer and whether they’d couple up with him.
“My head is still not sure, and keeps going in different directions of it all. I also thought that I’m doing absolutely nothing wrong by me having a conversation with him,” Matilda said.
“That’s why I went to bed p***ed off, and woken up p***ed off.”
Jess doubled down on her claim to Hugo, telling Matilda: “I get your point of view, I just wouldn’t do that when I can see my friend really getting on with someone and those feelings are reciprocated.”
“Do what? Have a conversation?”
You’ve not said that you said you wanted to get to know him.
I couldn’t be more respectful in this situation, but obviously I know you’ve got your opinion too, and it is what it is.
Jess later told the Beach Hut that Matilda “woke up with a face like a slapped a**e” and “had violins out” for her to get sympathy.
“Yeah, I appreciate maybe… your feelings are valid if you things I’ve gone about things the wrong way. She doesn’t think she’s done anything wrong,” Jess said.

“If your head is so conflicted, why are you adding somebody else into that mix, and doing that to somebody when you can see how happy your friend is finally?”
Fans were divided over whose side to take in the argument – with some saying Matilda was being out of order, while others defended her.
“Matilda is mean girl vibes… And she’s clearly playing it…,” wrote one.
“Matilda gives mean girl vibes,” said another. “She egged that mess on at the firepit with ciarran and Harriet then blamed Jess for it and now this. Come on people.”
“I wouldn’t tread on another woman’s toes to get to know someone, Matilda should have respected that!” said a third.
But others wrote: “I think Matilda is allowed to speak to whoever she wants, they’re both there for themselves and Matilda owes herself to see if she has a connection with Hugo.”
This was backed up by another who added: “Why does Jess think she owns Hugo, I totally get how Matilda is feeling.”
LOVE Island is back on the box with a brand new batch of sexy islanders all looking for love this summer.
