Unfortunately, viewers in the UK can’t access it, so here’s a detailed explanation of all the chaos that unfolded on the show. That viral *Temptation Island* clip explained

  The man featured in the clip is José Carlos Montoya, and he’s witnessing his girlfriend, Anita Williams, getting cozy with another participant named Manuel, live as it happens. Yes, *Temptation Island* gets pretty heated. He’s literally watching them get up close and personal on a large screen next to the show’s host, and his reaction is absolutely priceless. He collapses to his knees, grabs his shirt, and then sprints down the beach to confront the pair.

Montoya attempts to barge into the villa where his girlfriend is being unfaithful, but security blocks him, leaving him shouting on the sand. The host tries to calm him down, saying: “Montoya, por favour!” which translates to “Montoya, please!”—a phrase that has now gone viral online as people share memes inspired by this dramatic moment.

Montoya’s girlfriend begged for his forgiveness

  Following that jaw-dropping cliffhanger, the next episode opens with Anita realizing that Montoya saw the entire thing. She immediately stops her flirtation with the other guy and rushes out to confront her partner. She yells and curses at him, and Montoya responds: “You destroyed me, you will regret it for the rest of your life.” However, Anita soon regrets her actions and goes searching for him on the beach. They embrace, and she begs for his forgiveness, even asking to leave the island with him. The host steps in to separate the two and informs them that breaking the rules will have repercussions.

Wait, did he actually cheat first?!

  On social media, some are accusing Montoya of hypocrisy because he allegedly cheated earlier in the season—but that’s not entirely accurate. He received a lap dance from a woman and shared a brief kiss, but he didn’t sleep with anyone, and many argue his actions were relatively minor in comparison. This is the kind of drama *Love Island* needs!
