Samantha, 27, was left furious after new bombshell Uma Jammeh, 23, invited Joey, 33, to the Hideaway.

And when she finally came face-to-face with him, the make-up artist made sure to tell 5ft 9 Joey, “She’s taller than you.”

Those watching at home couldn’t contain their rage as they rushed to X, formerly Twitter, to make their thoughts known.

One fumed: “Why was the first thing that Samantha said about uma ‘she’s taller than you’ when she was speaking to joey ?? Like bsfr and stop hating.”

Someone else agreed: “samantha saying ‘she’s taller than you’ to joey as if it’s gross that she’s tall???? pls get this bully of the island.”

One more seethed: “Why did Samantha say ‘she’s taller than you’ so fast to Joey.”

Earlier on, Samantha had broken down in tears as she watched Joey chat up Uma.

The girls were left lost for words when the model entered the villa and snogged all of the boys as they watched on from the terrace.

Uma picked Mimii’s love interest Ayo for a date in the Hideaway, followed by some alone time with Joey.

Mimii got upset as she watched her man crack on with someone else, and Joey’s pair Samantha did the same.

The girls listened to Joey chat about his date with Uma, saying that she had “great energy” and a “really nice girl”.

Patsy told Samantha: “Don’t cry baby,” as Samantha started to get upset.

As she hugged Mimii, Nicole told Samatha: “Stop it now.”

“You’ll laugh about this tomorrow, thinking why the f*** was I crying?” Patsy added.

As she started crying, Samantha explained: “Especially them over there, they’re going to be in Joey’s ear because I’ve just had that argument with Ciaran.

“They’re going to be like that in Joey’s ear now going she’s immature, she’s this, she’s that.”
