Don’t get us wrong, we love a birra’ romance.
But sometimes, the over-calculated, over-thought gestures of affection, turn out to be very cringe or just plain awkward.
And last night was a prime example of this.
In a hope of appearing like an utter romantic, Charlie decided to ask Ellie to be his girlfriend but to do so, he created an elaborate plan that was all a bit much.
He enlisted the help of the boys to distract Ellie, then with the help of Alex and Jack, he wrote: “BE MY GF?” on his chest and then asked Jack to spill a drink on his trousers so he could whip off his top and reveal the message to Ellie.
Phew, that was tiring to type.
So yes, the multi-millionaire catering heir asked Ellie to propose with a now-smudged message on his chest to which she replied “yes”.
The problem was, the whole ordeal was a little stiff and awkward and it’s safe to say, fans has their thoughts on it.
Here’s what they were saying…
Personally don’t understand why Charlie would ruin his white jeans to ask Ellie to be his gf #LoveIsland
