‘He was studying for his GCSEs!’: Love Island viewers horrified after realising bombshell Kodie was only 13 when Kady first appeared on the show as they cuddle up together in bed
Love Island fans have been left feeling rather uncomfortable after realising the age gap between two of the show’s contestants.
As the infamous Casa Amor kicked off on Sunday Kady McDermott, 27, spent her evening in bed with bombshell Kodie Murphy, 20.
However viewers were quick to realise that the hunky new arrival would have been only 13 when Kady first appeared on the ITV2 show back in 2016 aged 20.
Racing to Twitter one said: ‘Kodie was in Year 8 when Kady was last in the villa’.

Another asked: ‘Why is Kady in bed with that little boy lol’.
And a third said: ‘The last time Kady graced our ITV2 screens, Kodie was 13 revising for his GCSE Maths exam. THIRTEEN. Girl, no. I’m standing firm on this, no.
Another view wrote: ‘Kodie was like 14 when Kady was on the show pleaseeeeee’.
While someone else said: ‘Kodie was only 13 when Kady was on her series’.
And: ‘Kady your 27 and this boy your sharing a bed is 20’.
Someone else was more understanding and said: ‘Lol Kady drew the short straw with the sleeping situation’.
It comes after the show has become caught up in a bullying row after one of its latest contestants was accused of homophobic abuse.
Kodie has been brought into the Casa Amor villa in order to turn the heads of the girls.

But after the 20-year-old Brummie was announced to be going on the show, he was hit by a wave of accusations.
One person took to Twitter to write: ‘What a way to end pride month, a boy who I went secondary school with who bullied me for being gay is put on love island.’
Someone else added: ‘I second this. I’ve seen it happen from Kodie.’
MailOnline has contacted representatives for Love Island for comment.
Love Island has previously stated that it has a zero tolerance approach to offensive and abusive language.
It comes after Kodie was also branded a liar by a girlfriend ahead of his appearance on the ITV2 show.
Taking to social media he was accused of telling the beauty, who claims she was in an exclusive relationship with the hunk, that he was heading on a ‘work trip’ when he was actually jetting off to Majorca and the famous villa.
Sharing a snap of them together she wrote: ‘As some of you may know @KodieMurphy and I have been exclusive for some time and now I’ve come to find out this ‘work trip’ he was going on was actually Casa Amor.
Accusations: It comes after the show has become caught up in a bullying row after one of its latest contestants was accused of homophobic abuse .

She continued: ‘Couldn’t feel more hurt and disrespected, Kodie you had plenty of time to tell me, however I hope you find what you’re looking for’.
Before adding: ‘I wish you luck’.
MailOnline have contacted Love Island reps for comment.
Ahead of his appearance Kodie described himself as ‘flirty, cheeky and mischievous’ and clearly loves to share shirtless snaps to his Instagram.
The social media marketer from Birmingham, who has his eyes on Jess Harding and Leah Taylor, regularly shares sexy shots of himself to his over 45,000 followers.
Kodie is a keen traveller, having jetted to the likes of Thailand, Vietnam, Cyprus, Mexico and Ibiza within the last 12 months.
He joined Ouzy See, Zachary Ashford, Elom Ahlijah-Wilson, Lochan Nowacki and Benjamin Noel as they entered the villa in the exciting twist.
Love Island continues on ITV2 and ITVX on Monday at 9pm.

WHY ARE YOU EXCITED TO GO INTO CASA AMOR? I love a challenge and can’t wait to bring my flirty, cheeky side out. There isn’t as much pressure when you go into Casa Amor, you can go in and have some fun. I’ll definitely be a little mischievous.
HOW TO YOU PLAN ON TURNING PEOPLE’S HEADS? I’m going to go in there and be my big, bubbly, cheeky self – I definitely know what I want. You have to lay it on a bit thicker in Casa Amor than the outside, which will be different for me but I am confident in approaching things. I work well under pressure, so no worries there.

WHY ARE YOU EXCITED TO GO INTO CASA AMOR? I’m excited to see which girls are open to having their heads turned, if anyone could make that happen, it would be me. My chat is great and I reckon I’ll definitely be the majority of the girls type on paper.
HOW TO YOU PLAN ON TURNING PEOPLE’S HEADS? I want to get to know everyone first and then let my favourites know early on that I’m interested to gauge their reaction. Then I can take it from there…

OCCUPATION: Senior Sales Executive
WHY ARE YOU EXCITED TO GO INTO CASA AMOR? I’m really excited to get into Casa Amor. I’m looking forward to the romances but the main thing is I’m looking to stir the pot to be honest and walk out with a girl I like.
HOW TO YOU PLAN ON TURNING PEOPLE’S HEADS? I am going to go in and go with my heart straight away. I’ve got a couple of people in mind and I will want to feel them out and get to know them in the first few hours. I will then draw my attention to just one girl.

OCCUPATION: Account Manager
WHY ARE YOU EXCITED TO GO INTO CASA AMOR? I feel like I’m excited because a lot of the people in relationships aren’t fully secure. I know the type of person I am as well, so I feel like I can turn heads. I’m not going to be disrespectful and I’m proud of my morals as a person. I’m confident that I can go in and not necessarily stir it up, but open the ladies’ eyes to what could be a better couple.
HOW TO YOU PLAN ON TURNING PEOPLE’S HEADS? I have a top three in my mind already, so I’ll probably be pulling them for chats quite quickly and letting them know they’re the top three people I want to speak to. But I’m confident I’m a people person, I’m not going in there to act any differently to how I am with my own friends. I back myself that people will see that and see my good looks and bish, bash, bosh!

HOW TO YOU PLAN ON TURNING PEOPLE’S HEADS? Casa Amor leaves you with a small amount of time, so the boys often think up a big strategy but when I’m put in an environment where there is purpose I always thrive naturally.

HOW TO YOU PLAN ON TURNING PEOPLE’S HEADS? Firstly, by being myself and getting straight to the point. I like all of the girls in the Villa. I know I’m going to vibe with all of them, it’s just getting that one to one conversation and if I click with them, I click with them, if I don’t, I don’t and onto the next.
