'Love Island' 2016: Cara and Nathan's 'Leg-Humping' Revelation Shocks Viewers

A true high-point for reality television.

โ€˜Love Islandโ€™ viewers were left stunned during Sunday nightโ€™s (5 June) episode, following a rather embarrassing admission from Nathan Massey.

Nathan has been involved in an ongoing flirtation with Cara De La Hoyde during his time on the ITV2 reality show, and while sharing a bed with her in the most recent instalment, he was heard making a plea for them to grow closer still.

Or, as he put it: โ€œCould you just wank me off please? Iโ€™m dying.โ€

They were then said to have shared an unspecified โ€œintimate momentโ€, prompting Nathan to declare moments later: โ€œThat was unbelievable. Iโ€™m so happy. Thank you. Thank you Lord.โ€

Speaking in the Beach Hut the next morning, she told viewers: โ€œWe had a little kiss, it was all lovely. Then we had a little grope and it was all lovely. Then he started rubbing himself against me.โ€

However, in the cold light of day, she was keen to set the record straight about what exactly had gone down under the covers during their โ€œintimate momentโ€.

She told Nathan, upon realising it was their โ€œweek anniversaryโ€: โ€œItโ€™s alright because we celebrated last night didnโ€™t we? Well, you did - I didnโ€™t. Letโ€™s explain what you did though, because I donโ€™t want people thinking I had any part in it.โ€

A sheepish Nathan then confided that he had โ€œhumped her legโ€.

Yes, folks. Thatโ€™s where weโ€™re at now. People โ€œhumpingโ€ the legs of their fellow contestants in the name of Sunday night entertainment.

The revelation got a mixed reception from โ€˜Love Islandโ€™ fans:

Humped your leg has just killed me off! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ #loveisland

Nathanโ€™s leg-humping revelation wasnโ€™t the only shocking moment of Sundayโ€™s โ€˜Love Islandโ€™, though, with Malia Arkian getting ejected from the show just a few hours after arriving, when she had a physical altercation with a fellow contestant.

โ€˜Love Islandโ€™ continues on Monday (6 June) at 9pm on ITV2.
