The drama left many viewers questioning why Camilla signed up to the show if she was going to get upset so easily, signalling a shift in the public perception towards her.

In one exchange Jonny questioned Camilla’s views that women don’t have equal opportunities in the workplace.

He referred to Britain’s Prime Minister Theresa May by saying: “The Prime Minister’s a woman. It’s not like it’s a boy’s club.

“I’m sure they just choose who’s more qualified for the job.”

Camilla interjected by asking: “But do you truly think that we’ve achieve equality in the UK?

“Do you honestly believe women have equal opportunities to men?”

Jonny replied: “I believe that women almost have more opportunities.”

The pair’s argument came after they shared a kiss in Tuesday’s episode of the reality show.

After their heated dispute Camilla feared they had nothing in common, telling fellow islanders: “We just got onto a subject that probably wasn’t the right thing to be discussing necessarily.

“I’m such an idiot – this is exactly what I didn’t want to do – start liking someone before I get to know them.”

Camilla continued to suggest her romance with Jonny could be over after discovering his views on equality.

She told close pal Chloe Crowhurst: “This is what happens when you move too quickly and then you find something out and you’re like ‘this could never go anywhere.’”

However, her outburst left viewers baffled.

Another vented: "@LoveIsland #camilla get out!!! Everyone has difference views!!! I like reality my partner hates them shows 😂😂😂😂"

Someone else said: "I don't get why camilla even signed up for love island she's too weak for the show soz"

Another said: "As much as everyone says they love Camilla, I find her really irritating lol like I just don't think love island is the show for her😂"

However, some were impressed at the depth of the conversation, writing: "This conversation about feminism is actually the most educational topic I think has ever been discussed on love island 😂 #LoveIsland"

Camilla, who’s the most reserved islander in this year’s villa, had gradually warmed to Jonny after saving him from being dumped last week.

Viewers were left thrilled after Camilla and Jonny kissed for the first time earlier this week.

After overhearing Camilla talking about him behind his back, Jonny was adamant that was the end of their romance, calling her behaviour hypocritical.

The pair had a heart to heart in the evening and called time on their romance for good, with Jonny admitting he couldn't be himself around her.
