Love Island's Nas called 'creepy' for rubbing Sophie's thigh

Poor Nas Majeed cannot catch a break.

The Love Island star was accused of being ‘creepy’ while consoling Sophie Piper in Thursday night’s episode.

Fans noticed the Londoner repeatedly rubbing Sophie’s thigh in the dressing room as she cried after being confronted by Shaughna Phillips.

While Nas, who has coupled up with Demi Jones, was obviously comforting who he’d previously described as his ‘best friend’ in the villa, some fans saw it differently.

Viewers claimed watching his tactile display made them ‘uncomfortable’ and even suggested he ‘secretly fancies’ Sophie.

‘Is Nas mad rubbing Sophie’s leg like that?! She had to make an excuse to walk away,’ one wrote on Twitter.

Another added: ‘The leg rub Nas gave Sophie was uncomfortable and unnecessary. I’m sure he didn’t do it with creepy intentions, but guys, please don’t do that, it’s creepy.’

‘The leg rub was intense…made me think that Nas secretly fancies Sophie,’ a third fan speculated.

Others leapt to Nas’ defence however, defending him for simply being a ‘nice guy’ and being affectionate with Sophie in her time of need.
