Love Island 2021 fans convinced Jake Cornish wants to dump Liberty Poole for her MUM
Love Island fans were worried for Liberty Poole’s heart on Monday after being left convinced that her partner Jake Cornish may be more interested in her mum following a very probing chat.
The sexy singletons were the first couple formed during the first show of the highly-anticipated seventh series, though Liberty’s head was briefly turned by hunky Brad McClelland.
But now viewers reckon the waitress, 21, could be heading for early heartbreak after the water engineer, 24, expressed an interest in her mother before commenting that she was probably a ‘milf’, leaving fans worried he has ‘mummy issues’.
Mum’s the word: Love Island fans were worried for Liberty Poole’s heart on Monday after being left convinced that Jake Cornish may be interested in her mum following a very probing chat
The drama came as the duo sat down for a chat as they got to know each other after coupling up earlier in the show.
As Liberty asked what kind of personality in a girl that Jake tends to go for, he replied: ‘I like a mumsy in the week and then lets her hair down at the weekend.’
He went on to add that he was ‘massively family oriented’, with Liberty agreeing that family is important to her as well.
At this, Jake flashed a smile as he asked: ‘Does your mum look like you? I reckon she does, doesn’t she?’
Red flag: The water engineer, 24, expressed an interest in Liberty’s mother before commenting that she was probably a ‘milf’, leaving fans worried he has ‘mummy issues’
‘I reckon you’ve got a milf of a mum!
A laughing Liberty then nodded as she confirmed: ‘Yeah! Everyone thinks we’re like sisters when we go out!
‘I inherited the good genes of her.’
Smiling enthusiastically, the Weston-super-Mare born hunk added: ‘Yeah definitely.’
Liberty continued of her mother: ‘She looks really good for her age.’
Getting to know you: Jake flashed a smile as he asked: ‘Does your mum look like you? I reckon she does, doesn’t she? I reckon you’ve got a milf of a mum!’
Lookalike: A laughing Liberty then nodded as she confirmed: ‘Yeah! Everyone thinks we’re like sisters when we go out! ‘I inherited the good genes of her’
With a grinning Jake quick to respond: ‘Oh bless her. I’d like to meet your mum!’
The exchange instantly sparked a big reaction from fans, with Jake’s complimentary words leaving them feeling as though he may have more interest in Liberty’s parent than the Birmingham-born beauty herself.
‘I’m in bed still thinking about how Jake is trying to move to Liberty’s mum. Bet he can’t wait to leave the show’ tweeted one viewer.
Keen: Liberty continued of her mother: ‘She looks really good for her age’, with a grinning Jake quick to respond: ‘Oh bless her. I’d like to meet your mum!’
I got it from my mamma: Liberty seen posing with her mother in an Instagram snap
While another shared: ‘Jake sounds like he’s into liberty’s mum LMAO.’
‘what in the mummy issues? liberty babe he wants to s**g ya mum’ shared a third.
‘Jake deffo has mummy issues’ came the response from a fourth watcher.
A fifth person said: ‘I’m honestly getting red flags from Jake, first with the foot fetish and now wanting Liberty’s mum omg.’
Alarm bells: The exchange instantly sparked a big reaction from fans, with Jake’s complimentary words leaving them feeling as though he may have more interest in Liberty’s parent than the Birmingham-born beauty herself
With another adding: ‘Jake is giving very much ‘gonna leave Liberty for her mum after i suck her toes’ vibes.’
This wasn’t the only time Jake raised eyebrows during Monday’s launch show as he left viewers ‘scarred’ as he attempted to record Toby Aromolaran sucking on Kaz Kamwi‘s toe during a game of Truth Or Dare.
As the awkward moment unfolded around the infamous fire pit, Jake – who admitted having a foot fetish during his opening interview – leaned into Liberty and whispered: ‘I’m recording it,’ with a smile on his face.
As they tuned into the first episode of the much anticipated seventh season of the ITV2 show, one person tweeted: ‘Gone from football to love island!! Not sure I was ready for Jake’s foot fetish #LoveIsland.’
Yikes: Love Island viewers were left ‘scarred’ and ‘shocked’ after contestant Jake – who admitted having a foot fetish – attempted to record a toe-sucking dare
Another added: ‘Please I’m still in shock from foot fetish jake actually recording it,’ while a third wrote: ‘I’ve been scarred watching that foot fetish take place.’
As the Islanders neared the end of their first day in paradise and after checking each other out, they gathered at the fire pit for a game of dares in the evening.
First up to the post was semi-pro footballer Toby, who picked a dare from the box reading: ‘One of you must suck the toes of the other for 30 seconds’ – leading to the raucous behaviour ensuing.
Before Jake entered the villa, viewers were shown a clip of the Weston-Super-Mare lad telling the camera what he looks for in a girl, and were left surprised when the water engineer confessed: ‘I go for little feet because I have a massive foot fetish. I like sucking toes.’

Not ready: As they tuned into the first episode one person tweeted: ‘Gone from football to love island!! Not sure I was ready for Jake’s foot fetish #LoveIsland’
Jake isn’t the first person to enter the Mallorca villa with a penchant for feet.
In 2020, Finley Tapp won the winter version of the competition alongside Paige Turley, with the tattooed hunk admitting during one episode: ‘One of my sexual turn ons are feet.’
The Islanders game of dares was soon interrupted when Toby received text.
Toby received a voice note from Chloe reading: ‘Hey boys. How are you?…
‘Chloe here. I’ve just arrived and I’m outside the front of the Villa. I’d like to take you all on a date but I’ll let you guys decide who wants to come and join me. Hopefully I’ll see you soon.’
Love Island continues Tuesday at 9pm on ITV2.
