LOVE Island fans have spotted a hugely awkward moment between two All Stars contestants during the opening episode.
They even claimed the hunk – who is one of the OG Love Island All Stars 2025 cast – didn’t want “a single thing” to do with his partner.
It came after Love Island viewers selected Liv Hawkins, 29, to couple up with former fish seller Luca, 25.
Luca, who had already been dealt two red flags earlier in the day during a game, didn’t appear to muster much enthusiasm as he stood by the actress and influencer.
He cite the fact they “lived round the corner” – with them both being in Brighton – as something to help them get to know each other.
Yet after being pulled for a chat by Ronnie Vint – who has slid into her DMs before – Liv was seemingly left wanting something more.
Viewers were quick to pick up on the lukewarm reception, with one writing: “Was Luca’s reaction to Liv there frosty or is he always that unbothered?”
Another posted: “Liv and Luca awkward.”
A third mused: “Luca looked like he didn’t want a single thing to do with Liv.”
One then joked: “Liv and Luca entering to ‘I think the apple’s rotten right to the core’.”
Earlier in the episode, Liv had revealed a desire to get to know Curtis Pritchard, who is paired with Kaz Crossley.
Last week, The Sun exclusively revealed how Liv had been confirmed for the spin-off show.

Meanwhile, Luca hasn’t gone under the radar either.
He revealed this weekend how his mum made him watch his original show stint back – after he was hit with allegations he was a “misogynist” and “controlling.”
Yet viewers of this series have already become fearful for the star – suggesting he will “walk out” and “doesn’t want to be there.”
They even branded his return “pointless” after he appeared “miserable” right on the show opening.
