"Love Island" star Hugo Hammond broke down in tears during the latest episode of the hit UK reality show after two female contestants called him out for his remarks about women getting
During the episode, Hammond, a 24-year-old gym teacher and the first disabled contestant on "Love Island," hosted a game where contestants had to match their answers to their partners to get to know each other. In one round based on biggest turn-offs, Hammond said his biggest turn-off was that he wasn't a fan of "fake personality and looks."
Fellow contestants Faye Winter and Sharon Gaffka, called him out after he repeated the "fake" comment when describing his type: "leggy blonde not fake."
Winter, after the second comment, said, "That word keeps getting thrown around, doesn't it? Get f---ing educated as to why girls get work done."
Gaffka also said, "ignorant as f---."
After the game, Gaffka said: "He literally has grafted for two girls in here who look like they've had work done.
"I'm f---ing pissed off. Girls do it to boost their confidence and I don't think that should be a negative."
Later in the episode, Hammond attempted to apologize to the two women insisting that he "didn't mean anything malicious" by the remarks.
His first conversation with Gaffka left him in tears and he had to be comforted by the other male contestants.
The teacher later apologized to Winter, who said: "For me, the word fake doesn't go well. My mum and dad watched me cry every day from the age of 13 to 18 because I was underdeveloped, then they bought me a boob job for my 18th birthday because I was having such a tough time."
Hammond then apologized respectfully saying, "I can't comprehend how tough that must've been. So, again for that, I am completely sorry for using a word that really hurts you and makes you think of really negative times."
Winter and Gaffka forgave Hammond after his apology. Numerous "Love Island" fans on Twitter noted that while Hammond was lambasted for his "fake" comments, another male contestant, Aaron Francis, did not receive any criticism for saying he didn't like women to have body hair.
"So why can Aaron comment on body hair and he can say he wants a housewife. But Hugo says he doesn't like plastic surgery and he is now a villain," one person wrote.

Another wrote: "sharon being angrier about hugo's preferences than aaron's massively misogynistic comment about women's body hair is just -"

And another tweeted: "So it's okay for Aaron's turn off to be arm hair which is literally natural and EVERY single person has it. But Hugo's preference is more of a natural looking girl and THATS what's offensive?"
