It comes after Kai was mocked by viewers for using the term 'wifey for lifey' before switching between three single ladies during the first coupling of the series.
The semi-pro rugby player claimed to new host Maya Jama that he has entered the villa on the hunt for the real deal, but fans of the show were quick to call him out for using the 'cringeworthy' slogan.
Taking to Twitter, viewers did not hold back, with one writing: '“Wifey for lifey” the way I GAGGED #LoveIsland,' while another admitted: '“Wifey for lifey” I just threw up my dinner thanks babe x #LoveIsland.'

'Looking for wifey on Love Island? Stop lyingggggg through your pearly veneers mate,' pleaded someone else, as another person insisted: 'sorry but the lads are soooo dry on love island, a grown man saying “wifey for lifey”.'
'This “wifey 4 lifey” thing better not the slogan for this series. I will not tolerate 8 weeks of grown men talking like teenage boys. #LoveIsland,' fumed one viewer.
Someone else tweeted: '"I just wanna try all the flavours and see which one is a wifey for lifey" go home right now #LoveIsland.'
