LOVE Island fans were "creeped out" by "controlling" Joe Garratt's behaviour towards Lucie Donlan last night.

Many viewers were shocked when the 22-year-old lad brazenly declared: "She'll come back."

Joe and Lucie's promising status as this series' Jack Fincham and Dani Dyer was fractured in two after Tommy Fury took a wrecking ball to their relationship.

The boxer took her on a date - which she had no say over - leading to jealous Joe displaying what many felt was controlling behaviour.

And after an intense chat last night, he told the Beach Shack cameras: "She'll come back - they..." before trailing off.

Many fans felt he was about to finish the sentence "They always do" before thinking better of it.

Speaking about the 21-year-old, he added: "She'll come back 100 per cent."

Twitter lit up with criticism, with one viewer writing: "Reaaaallly can’t stand Joe - cocky, manipulative, possessive. 'She’ll come back' loooool okay defo."

Another said: "The ‘she’ll come back ‘ attitude Joe has is the worst trait a boy could have."

A third posted: "I am not on board with Joe right now. Him saying 'she'll come back' is like when possessive boyfriend's say 'no one will ever love you like I love you'."

One other said: "Joe you’ve fumbled the bag, totally. This behaviour. About ‘she’ll come back’.. 🤮.

"Serial manipulator if he can say that about a girl he met and has kissed within 3 days ffs."

Many said his actions are ruining his chances on the show, with one fan insisting: "I’m 99% sure you’re gonna regret saying that Joe."

Countless others shared memes showing the UK's reaction to what happened, with one showing Pirates of the Caribbean's Jack Sparrow retching.

They wrote: "Ew Joe is gross 'she'll come back."

But has Joe's behaviour pushed Lucie away for good?

With a recoupling on the horizon, we won't have long to find out.
