LOVE Island’s Samira Mighty and Frankie Foster “faked” their emotional airport reunion, according to an eyewitness.

The pair came face to face for the first time this afternoon at Gatwick airport, after the West End star made the bold move to follow her heart and head back to Frankie, who had been dumped a few days before.

But despite clearly having deep feelings for each other, their romantic reunion appeared to be rather orchestrated for the TV crew following them.

An onlooker at the airport told The Sun Online: “I was getting off my flight from Jersey when I saw Samira and Frankie standing together talking. I realised there was a TV crew with them so I watched to see what was going on.

“They were talking with the cameraman and deciding how best to film them greeting each other. I was shocked because I thought they would have just done it first time and got the real reaction between them.”

The fellow flyer continued: “It all seemed a bit dramatic and she runs through the doors and jumps on him.

“I was a bit disappointed because it seemed a bit fake and staged. You can tell they're into each other because they seemed really happy. But it's a shame they had to film it twice.”

Pictures taken from their reunion see Samira jumping into Frankie’s arms in front of a film crew.

The news will do come as another shock to viewers who were surprised to learn that the 22-year-old dancer and Frankie had spent a night together in The Hideaway but it had not been shown.

Fans of the show were left baffled by the news and branded the show a “fix” once they learnt the truth.

The Sun exclusively revealed that the couple 'did bits' during a secret night of passion that was never aired.

Describing their steamy night together a "big thing", Frankie, 22, said: "Everyone was cheering us into the hideaway, everyone was happy for us.

“But yeah it didn’t get shown for one reason or another."

It was later revealed that Love Island bosses had cut three more Hideaway sessions - Charlie and Ellie, Jack and Dani and Sam and Georgia.

A representative for Love Island said: "As we have said before, it is not possible to show everything that happens in the villa due to time constraints.

"It is always our intention to produce a show that is a fair and accurate representation of life in the villa."
