Love Island fans have been left raging after last night’s episode after spotting an adorable moment between Mike Boateng and Leanne Amaning was cut from the show.
Fans have taken a swing for producers after first noticing the couple have been very absent from the last few shows, leading to the couple’s names’ to trend on social media a number of times as viewers questioned where they were.
But eagle-eyed viewers got even more enraged when they noticed a potentially adorable moment between the pair was savagely cut from last night’s show.
In the clip, Leanne can be seen walking over to her beau, who stands and prepares to pick her up.

The moment is cut the second before he whisked her off her feet – with Shaughna Phillips and new boy Connagh Howard who producers had actually chosen to focus on in that scene.
While Mike and Leanne are sharing a beautiful moment in the background, Shaughna is chatting to the new arrival before realising her original partner, Callum Jones, is watching.
She says: "Oh, look, we've got an audience here – do you want a drink?" before leading the new hunk away for a more private conversation.
The cameras then cut to Callum talking in the Beach Hut about his love rival.

And it’s safe to say fans were not happy.
“@LoveIsland @itv2 you are proper cutting out Mike & Leanne dont you have any shame?” one fumed.
Another wrote: “I need to see this footage of Mike carrying Leanne.”
A third said: “I’m MAD. There was a cute moment between Leanne and Mike and we didn't see it because they thought showing Shaughna and Connagh walk away was better.”
Mike chose to couple up with Leanne during the first episode, when he was the only boy she stepped forward for.
Jess Gale threw a spanner in the works when she chose to couple up with Mike during the first recoupling, leaving Leanne single.
It was only when Mike was no longer coupled up with Leanne that he realised he actually quite liked her, later pulling her for a chat to tell her how he felt. "I woke up in the morning and it was nice waking up next to Jess," he began.
"But as soon as I saw you, it was like an instant feeling that I couldn't even explain.
“Some might even call it butterflies. It was just there. So you know what, if that's how I'm feeling about you? I've got to follow it.”
The pair have essentially been removed from the narrative of the show, only acting as background players in scenes about the other couples.
The two were briefly shown during the recoupling ceremony in Friday's episode, when Mike was praised for giving a romantic speech while picking Leanne.

"She is beautiful. She is smart. I enjoy being around her," he told her. "I love when she is around me. Whenever she's not, I wonder where she is."
Many viewers feel they are the best couple in the villa, but have had very little screen time showing how their relationship is blossoming.
"The way Mike looks at Leanne melts my heart," one fan wrote on Twitter .
Another added: "Mike & Leanne being so unbothered every episode while everyone else is stressing 24/7 is hilarious. #LoveIsland."
A third added: "I’m rooting heavily for Mike and Leanne. #LoveIsland."
