After they returned, Molly told Callum to speak to Shaughna, and he tried to explain his reasons for bringing the Essex blonde back.

When quizzed by Laura Whitmore, Molly admitted she felt guilty for upsetting Shaughna and apologised.

She shared: "It's not a nice feeling. It's not nice having to upset someone else, so I'm sorry Shaughna."

Meanwhile, Callum said that there was "something missing" with the democratic services officer and that he had gone with his heart by coupling up with Molly.

Playing Devil's Advocate, presenter Laura asked the 25-year-old if she had anything say to the new couple, to which a seething Shaughna said: "Congrats, hun."

Visibly upset by the brutal dumping, Shaughna raced up the stairs with "gobsmacked" pal Paige Turley to process what had just happened.

Unaware of the upset he caused, Callum was seen laughing with the rest of the boys before Molly grabbed his arm and encouraged him to speak to Shaughna.

"If he [Callum] thinks he’s coming to pull me [for a chat], that boy has got another thing coming," says Shaughna as she sees Callum walking in her direction.


Following the drama, viewers took to Twitter in their droves to slam Callum for his "heartlessness" towards Shaughna, and praised Molly for being "mature" and "respectful".

"Mature of Molly to tell Callum to go talk to Shaughna. I really like her." one impressed fan wrote.

"The fact the molly had to tell Callum to check on shaughna shows what kind of guy he is and also that was very mature of molly," another penned.

A third shared: "Shoutout to Molly for being very mature and understanding the way that Shaughna is feeling".

"Catching up on last nights #loveisland at least Molly had the decency to say sorry in her speech! I don’t think Callum is even aware of the word?" a fan posted.

Another commented: "Molly has shown more empathy for Shaughna within one day than Callum has in the past 3 weeks #LoveIsland".
