Love Island viewers are convinced they have uncovered a secret feud brewing between two of the 2026 stars inside the villa: Lola Deal and Priya Jaswal. Tensions escalated during the Heart Rate Challenge in last night's episode, where skimpy outfits, steamy dance moves, and flirty snogs led to drama. While romantic connections shifted, fans noticed friction between the girls, particularly Lola's frosty demeanour toward Priya.
Fans call out Lola's animosity
Taking to social media, viewers aired their theories about Lola's behaviour. One fan wrote, "Lola has such a weird animosity towards priya and if i said what i truly thought about it." Another fumed, "Lola has such a weird energy towards Priya. I don't like it." A third commented, "Lola is Priya's biggest hater and it's p*ssing me off. Who died and put her in charge! #loveisland #loveislanduk." A fourth echoed, "Lola got something against priya and she needs to speak up like what."
Lola questions Priya's honesty
The plot thickened when Lola hinted that Priya was lying about a situation with Samraj in bed. According to Priya, Samraj gave her a peck under the covers, but she cooled things off after he admitted feelings for Mica. Lola told Tina, Mica, and Jasmine on the terrace, "I can't imagine that?" insinuating that Priya fabricated the kiss. This sparked outrage on X, with one viewer writing, "Lola's agg towards priya is getting more obvious and obvious… why does she automatically assume priya is lying #loveisland #loveislanduk." Another said, "I'm starting to feel really sorry for Priya because everyone is ganging up on her and she is an easy target for people like Lola."
Background of the drama
The feud follows an explosive week that saw Jasmine and Kavan's relationship crumble, Aidan's feelings for Yasmin resurface, and Lorenzo doubt his connection with Jas. Six stars are currently at risk of leaving the villa after Ellie and Lorenzo were revealed as the public's favourite boy and girl, making them safe. Lola, Priya, Tina, Aidan, Tommy, and Simba face potential elimination.
