ITV’s Love Island fans have been left squirming after family visits took an uncomfortable twist.
The Islanders were treated to surprise visits from their loved ones on Monday (July 28) night, and Cach Mercer’s siblings appeared less than pleased with Toni Laites’ treatment of their brother.
The American stunner recently reduced Cach to tears after unexpectedly recoupling with her former partner Harrison Solomon, who has since departed the villa.
Toni later reconciled with Cach and the pair have managed to mend their relationship. In tonight’s episode, Toni’s mum Leslie was quick to commend Cach for forgiving her daughter, even extending an invitation to him to visit their family home.

However, Cach’s brother D’Shae and sister Ayjah voiced their disapproval of Toni’s actions. Ayjah was particularly outspoken, advising her brother that Toni should have warned him about her feelings for Harrison rather than catching him off guard, reports OK!.
When the siblings later met Toni, viewers noted the extended periods of silence during their conversation. During their chat, Toni attempts to take responsibility for her unfair treatment of Cach, admitting: “I’m an idiot.”
But Cach’s sister doesn’t let her off the hook, retorting: “No, you’re not dumb,” before adding: “You knew you made the wrong decision.”
Ayjah later clarified: “You’re a good person… just communication girl.”
In another scene, Toni asks her partner’s siblings: “What else do you want to know about me?” To which Ayjah responds: “Nothing really.”
