We say it every year but honestly, this year's Love Island is giving.

The series 11 cast have been top tier - from Harriett Blackmore's iconic behaviour to Joey Essex being the first bombshell - we've been hooked from day one.

Speaking of OGs, one Islander who went under the radar for the first few weeks was Sean Stone but he certainly found his voice when he chose to dump Omar Nyame so he could couple up with Matilda Draper.

Savage behaviour tbh and Ciaran Davies reckons so too.

Anyway, it appears that one person who isn't the biggest fan of Sean is Love Island 2021 star Toby Aromolaran

During an exclusive chat with heatworld, we asked Toby about the current Islanders and whether there's any Islanders he's not feeling and his answer says it all.

"Sean, man. Yeah, I'll stand on it," he told us.

"He falls into a Love Island category and I don’t feel that category, I don’t like them.

"If I was in there, I just couldn't trust him."

He then went on to say, "I don't like the fact that you have to get someone gone to get a girl.

"I don't think that should be your reason. I don't think it should be a main reason to get someone gone, to cut someone's experience for that reason.

"He did it but I just don't understand how he could be happy to do it. And progress with the girl, not knowing if she would have picked you or not. She can always say that she will but you never truly know."

Now correct us if we're wrong but we're getting deja vu and we're pretty sure it's because we recall Toby saying similar words about his co-star Hugo Hammond.

Also, now that we're thinking of it Sean screaming "I just got my first kiss on the terrace" does remind us of Hugo's "job done" comment after he snogged Casa Amor's Amy Day.

Hmm.

Remember during series 7 when Toby was 'moving mad' and decided to recouple with Abi Rawlings leaving Chloe Burrows single? Well, Hugo made a shady af speech and it was the beginning of the end of his friendship with Toby.

Shortly after the 2021 final Toby made it clear he wasn't friends with Hugo.

"You don’t get along with everyone in life... I’d say to 'Hi' to [Hugo], but I wouldn’t call him a close friend.

"If he [Hugo] wanted to call me out [during the recoupling], he can call me out but firstly, from a friend basis, I wouldn’t do that to a friend.

"But at the end of the day I appreciate him because he did pick Chloe and it allowed us to carry on our journey together. It’s part of the journey," he said.

Well, that's that then.

We chatted to Toby at the Carmex Summer Fruity Flavours & SPF event in Shoreditch, London
