The 27-year-old was left fuming after Angelista – who he was getting to know at the time – locked lips with Simba on the terrace the night before.
But what caught fans’ eyes wasn’t Simba’s humble apology but a bizarre editing blunder – did you spot it?
When the pair first sat down on the day beds, Ope can be seen clutching his water bottle with nothing on his arms.
The camera then cuts to Simba before cutting back to Ope, who all of a sudden has a huge deodorant mark under his armpit and up his arm.

It looks as though the mark wasn’t there before despite his obvious change in positioning.
One fan wrote: “One minute they weren’t there… then they were.”
Another viewer said: “Hahaha I thought the same, where did it come from?”
This scene could perhaps be two takes cut together.
Former Islanders have admitted it’s not uncommon to refilm scenes especially if there’s lighting problems, wardrobe malfunctions or if the conversations captured were too quiet.
However, one fan was convinced Ope already had the deodorant marks because his “armpit was closed at first.”
Ope and Simba, 24, were burying the hatchet after he made digs at Ope following his cheeky snog with nurse Angelista.
NHS worker Simba had accused Ope, the night before, of trying to “have your cake and eat it.”
“You had two girls man, now you got none,” he added.
Stunned, Ope mustered up a reply as he said: “What do you mean bro?”
Offering up a savage dig, Simba then said: “I don’t even think it is a looks thing…”
Ope sat Simba down and explained that he didn’t feel the situation was “that deep.”
Simba could be heard saying: “The situation slightly got blown a little bit out of proportion and I feel like again given the environment and where we are, naturally situations are gonna get blown out a little bit.
“I just feel like yesterday dragged. It didn’t need to go like that. Maybe the way I voiced it, the way I expressed the opinion, obviously you felt like I disrespected you.
“Brother, I am actually sorry.”
Ope accepted Simba’s heartfelt apology saying: “I appreciate it.”
The pair then shook hands with Simba saying he has “a lot of respect” for Ope.
Ope was then dumped in the following episode on June 12 alongside Victoria, who he was coupled up with.
His fellow Islanders ranked them as having the weakest connection out of all the couples.
The West End dancer looked as though he could’ve burst into tears during the axing and he later admitted he was “gutted” to be leaving the show so soon.
