WES Nelson has been accused of "cheating" after his performance in the Love Island All Stars villa.

The 25-year-old put on a show at the Love Island All Stars villa in last night's episode alongside Craig David.

While the Islanders went wild for the surprise, many fans at home took to social media to accuse Wes of lip syncing.

One wrote: "Did Wes just come on love island and lip sync to an auto tuned verse?"

Another said: "It’s mad that anybody thought that Wes Nelson was actually singing pure mime."

And a third added: "Wes was miming."

The negative feedback from his performance wasn't the only thing awkward about Wes' flying visit to the villa.

Eagle-eyed viewers also reckon he snubbed his ex-girlfriend Arabella Chi.

Arabella, 32, had no idea she was about to be confronted with her ex and screamed "well this is awkward!" as he joined the pool party alongside chart legend Craig.

And Wes appeared oblivious to her being there too, even failing to give her a nod or a wave.

Fans spotted the awkwardness of the moment and reacted online, with one writing: "Not Arabella trying to act mysterious in the crowd so Wes notices herrr..."

Wes and Arabella first sparked romance rumours in July 2019 after growing close over a series of cosy dinners.

They confirmed their relationship the following month and went on a string of luxurious holidays together from the Maldives to Ibiza.

Their relationship appeared to be going from strength to strength and just three months later, they moved in together.

But in April 2020, it was announced that the pair had split.

Wes had moved out of their shared home after he and Arabella grew apart - with the six-year age gap said to have been a factor.

A source close to the couple told The Sun: "It's all over.

"They started to grow apart and the age gap became really noticeable between them.

"They want to remain civil with each other and hope to remain friends."
