• Helena’s roast was criticized for seeming scripted rather than spontaneous.
• Yasmin’s posture became a talking point but was mocked as a weak talent.

Love Island’s annual talent show is usually a fan-favorite, but this year’s edition left viewers baffled. From Helena’s scripted roast to Yasmin’s posture demonstration, social media erupted with criticism.

Many called it the “worst talent show in villa history,” sparking debates about the contestants’ skills, or lack thereof.

“Where’s the Talent?” Fans React to Cringe-Worthy Performances

The 2025 talent show failed to impress, with performances ranging from awkward to outright bizarre. While past seasons featured memorable acts like Indiyah’s recorder solo and Millie’s piano skills, this year’s lineup included hula hooping, juggling, and Yasmin balancing a book on her head.

One fan tweeted,

“Omg this series has got to be the worst in Love Island history, what kind of talent show is this?”

Another added,

“After watching this, I can see why they’re on Love Island…”.

Helena’s flight-themed roast, which many suspected was just “reading from a script,” drew confusion. Meanwhile, Blu’s boxing routine ended with him falling over, adding to the cringe factor.

Yasmin’s Posture Steals the Show But Not in a Good Way

Yasmin Pettet’s posture has been a recurring topic this season, and her “talent” of walking with a book on her head only fueled the conversation. Fans joked,

“Yasmin’s Pilates instructor must be thrilled seeing her maintain perfect posture on #LoveIslandUK”.

While some praised her poise, others questioned if balancing a book truly counted as a talent. One viewer quipped,

“This is a talent show, not a career fair”.

The Missing Musical Acts Disappoint Fans

A major letdown for viewers was the absence of musical performances. Past seasons had viral moments like Chris and Kem’s rap or Millie’s piano playing. This year, not a single contestant played an instrument.

A disappointed fan posted,

“Where is my annual musical talent that inevitably endears me to an Islander?”

Another wrote,

“Not a single musical talent, worst talent show ever”.
