Love Island fans were very surprised when Maya Jama made a strange and uncomfortable joke about Ciaran Davies during Love Island: AfterSun.
At the start of the episode, Maya, who is 29 years old, was chatting with Amy Hart and Sam Thompson. They were talking about everything that happened on the main Love Island show that week.
First, they talked about Ciaran and Nicole. Earlier that week, the couple said the L word — “Love”! But then, things got a bit tricky. That’s because Ciaran told Nicole how many people he had slept with — 120! This caused some drama between them.
Amy joked that when they go back home to Wales, all 120 people might be out at the same nightclub. “The problem is,” Amy said, “they live 20 minutes apart and are both from Wales. They might go out clubbing and all 120 might be there.”
That’s when Maya made a joke that made people feel awkward. She said:
“May have sh*ed a cousin. Who knows? … Joking!”**
She laughed after saying it, but the internet went wild.
Fans rushed to X (formerly Twitter) to talk about the moment. One person tweeted:
“Maya, stop it right now. He might have s*ed his cousin.”**
Another wrote:
“I didn’t think about that, but Maya kinda had a point with that cousin joke.”
Lots of people thought it was funny, but others thought it was too much.
Nicole Criticized for Her Reaction to Ciaran’s Past
Earlier that week, fans were also talking about Nicole’s reaction to Ciaran’s past. When he told her he had slept with 120 women, she didn’t take it well.
In a private chat, Nicole looked upset. She cried and said, “I actually feel sick.”
She told Ciaran that she thought the number couldn’t be true and that it was “disgusting” — especially for someone who is only 21.
Many people online didn’t like how Nicole acted. They said she was slut-shaming Ciaran. One person on X wrote:
“Not Nicole basically slut-shaming man like Ciaran.”
Another fan added:
“Nicole is acting so immature. It’s getting boring now.”
And someone else said:
“She’s just angry because she feels like Ciaran wasted her time during one of the games.”
Fans Shocked by Ciaran’s Past Relationships
Ciaran’s love life has been a big topic on Love Island this season. He shocked viewers when he said, during a game of Truth or Dare, that he had slept with over 100 women.
Later, it was revealed that one of those people was a 40-year-old woman — and Ciaran was only 18 at the time.
Some fans were so surprised, they joked they might need to “call the police.” They thought it was shocking that there was a 30-year age gap between them.
Are Ciaran and Nicole Okay Now?
Even after all the drama, Ciaran and Nicole seem to be doing better. They are still together and trying to move past the tough moments.
Some fans are still unsure about them, but others are hopeful the couple can stay strong.
