LOVE Island's Lucie Donlan infuriated fans last night as she tried to bring back her "bev"catchphrase by calling Michael Griffiths a "little bevil."

Earlier in the ITV2 series the 21-year-old surfer coined the term to describe someone who is sexy, or if an outfit is a little saucy, while bevnish meant to have sex.

But in last night's episode the Islander, from Newquay, introduced a whole new term to the villa.

Lucie, Amber Gill and Yewande Biala were seen swooning over firefighter Michael as he worked out, before Lucie quizzed Amber about the tattooed hunk, and asked if she fancied him.

She said: "I mean, why wouldn't you [like Michael], he's a right little bevil. Look at him though, he's cute."

Amber added: "Look at him, he's canny."

When asked if she would kiss the 27-year-old, she admitted she would.

But the phrase did not go unnoticed, and viewers swiftly took to social media to share their annoyance over Lucie's bizarre phrases.

One tweeted: "Catching up on Love Island did Lucie really say 'bevil' oh i can’t wait to vote her off."

Another added: "Dear Lucie, BEV/BEVIL is NOT going to catch on so please give up. Sincerely everyone ever."

A third likened the term to gravy Bovril.

Another vented: "The use of the word ‘Bevil’ in Love Island tonight has deeply upset me."
