Love Island fans were quick to react on Saturday's Unseen Bits as Molly Marsh's mum and dad, Dave and Janet, took advantage of the fire pit during the meet the parents instalment.
Viewers will recall that last Sunday, the Islanders' friends and family arrived in the villa as they reunited and shared their opinions over their partners from the ITV2 dating show. During Saturday's Unseen Bits, it showed Molly's, 21, parents holding their own recoupling by the fire pit as they soaked up the atmosphere and made the most of being in the iconic villa.
In the clip, David remained seated while Janet stood in front of the fire pit to which David quipped: "So, erm, I haven't got much choice but erm because erm the time we've spent in the villa has been erm really good and she makes nice toast... I'd love to couple up with Janet please..." to which they then kissed with Janet adding: "That was sweet!"
Viewers were quick to react to the scenes as one person tweeted: "Was that Molly’s dad and mom doing the recoupling? #LoveIsland" while a different account put: "Why are they wasting unseen bits on molly’s parents #LoveIsland."

It comes after Molly's mum Janet hit back at trolls who have said she used her fame to give her daughter an advantage on the ITV show. The schoolteacher and former Corrie actress, 49, denies claims she had an involvement in her daughter's success on the dating series. Despite having a rocky start to her Love Island experience, 21-year-old content creator and musical theatre performer Molly has managed to make it through to the final days before the final.
Previously, Molly was dumped from the island despite finding a strong connection with 25-year-old personal trainer Zachariah Noble from South East London. The results came after season two's Kady McDermott returned to the villa to steal hunk Zach, who was in a couple with Molly at the time.
After the shocking results, Molly returned as a Casa Amor bombshell. Some online users have suggested that Molly's mum worked as a ITV producer and helped bring the blonde bombshell back into the villa.

Speaking to The Daily Mail, she said, the comments from viewers are "made up." She said: "They have made stuff up about me. I've been through it all as well. For me to read what people think about me… that is tough. It is made up.
"At one point I was an ITV producer and pulling strings when I was actually sitting at school teaching phonics to some year sevens!" Molly's mum, who played a receptionist and nurse on Coronations Street, says her daughter "worked hard through the same as everybody else" despite what some people may think.
On Friday's episode, Molly enjoyed a date with Zachariah as the Islanders left the villa for their final dates with their partners. The pair reflected on their tremulous journey, and in a heartwarming moment, Zach dropped the L bomb on Molly leaving her lost for words.
