Love Island fans think Sean is secretly ‘terrified’ of Belle despite his budding romance with her, as he struggled to look her in the eye as she confronted him on Monday’s episode
Love Island fans think Sean is secretly “terrified” of Belle despite his budding romance with her. The reality star, 32, is one of several former contestants to have made a comeback to the villa for the All Stars spin-off, and following a public vote, was coupled up with Belle, who originally appeared on the fifth series of the ITV2 dating competition.
During the first recoupling, Belle opted to stick with Sean, though he later confided to Tommy that he would have rather been paired with Helena. Once Belle found this out, she asked Sean: “Do you feel like you’ve missed out anything from our conversation?” and he quietly replied: “No…”
She continued telling him what was actually said, and then raged: “Don’t tell me one thing and then another thing to others, that’s all I’m saying!” When Sean failed to look Belle in the eye, she added: “You’re not really saying much babe.”

The tense moment did not go unnoticed by viewers at home, and they took to social media to react to the awkward situation. One said on X, formerly known as Twitter: “Sean s******g it because he knows Belle can kick off bigger than she did with him!” and another said: “He can’t even look at her #loveislandallstars!”
A third said “Sean has definitely watched this scene & is terrified of Belle!”, referring to a previous confrontation she has had on the series. A fourth wrote: “sean is so scared of belle he’s pulling her to double check if it’s okay that he fancies samie LOOOL!” and a fith said: “Did Sean not even watch Belle`s season because why is the guy so scared to look her in the eye he really thinks that Belle is someone to mess with and that Belle is going to let him get away with it, Belle is a roadman she is from south London!”
The first episode saw 12 ex Islanders return to the ITV villa for another shot at love, from series seven’s Millie Court to series nine’s Shaq Muhammad. We watched as Tommy Bradley and Jess Harding discuss the flirty texts they’d been sending one another outside of the villa, before a whole lot of kissing went down during the series’ first ice breaker.
After their smooching session – which saw the girls kiss the boys they thought would be good and boy for them – host Maya Jama revealed the results of the first public coupling vote. Sean and Belle Hassan were matched together, followed by Jack and Whitney, Tommy and Jess, Shaq and Leanne and then Ciaran and Millie.
Love Island’s return to our screens came a few days later than expected, after production was shut down due to South African wildfires. ITV announced over the weekend that production had been evacuated due to safety concerns.
“Our assessment of the location site has concluded that filming will need to be postponed,” a spokesperson said on Saturday. “Health and safety is our greatest priority and will always come first, and therefore the transmission of Love Island: All Stars will be delayed until a date to be confirmed.”
The series was delayed for a few days before ITV confirmed on Wednesday that it would make its grand return the following evening.
Love Island: All Stars airs weeknights at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
