Things got steamy between Olivia and Rikard...
Like it or not, it’s 2016 – and people having sex on TV is no more shocking than your average episode of Hollyoaks. The phenomenon has its roots in Big Brother, took a whole new life on Geordie Shore and then progressed to ITV2’s Love Island…
And one person who REALLY doesn’t like it is Jodie Marsh, who in a series of tweets blasted the contestants for doing the deed in front of the cameras – after Olivia and Rikard appeared to get down to it in an episode earlier this week.
For a show whose format revolves around two people coupling up and sharing a bed, it’s pretty arguable that televised romping is actually its fundamental purpose…
But the model and former bodybuilder wasn’t impressed. She started her Twitter tirade with “But on a serious note, I still CANNOT believe that these people actually have sex on TV!! It’s too much! This is not normal!!!! #LoveIsland
Her full rant is below…

If they were Porn stars then fair enough but they're just normal people who are happy to openly have sex on TV! Wtf?What about their family?

I must be getting old. It really shocks me that these people are happy to shag on TV knowing that their families are prob watching….

The tirade was also loaded with a dig at estranged husband James Placed, a claim that their marriage was a ‘dodgy & very embarrassing thing’ that she’d done in her time. Ouch.

Her tweets came after she (much like the rest of the country) confessed a lil crush on contestant Terry, tweeting ‘Just catching up on tonight’s #LoveIsland – all is not well between Terry & Malin – I’ll be here waiting for you Tel #winkwink #oioi
