Attentive fans have noticed that Rita Ora’s stint in the Love Island villa isn’t available to watch on Hulu.

The Your Song singer, 32, treated the islanders to a medley of hits following the release of her new album You & I.

And while viewers in the UK can rewatch the episode on ITV Hub, it seems like fans across the pond might struggle as it looks like the episode has disappeared on the American streaming service.

After several vented their frustrations on Reddit and speculated it was down to a licensing issue, The Hollywood Reporter claimed that the ‘closed captioning wasn’t working properly, and that’s actually the reason the episode was removed.’

And that’s that!

Speaking about the experience, superfan Rita said at the time: ‘Guys my dream has come true. Obviously I love watching the show.’

While being interviewed on This Morning by hosts Demort O’Leary and Alison Hammond she added: ‘It was so hot and I was sweating in places I didn’t know I could sweat from, but I was so happy to be there.

‘I was supposed to stay on the stage but I wanted to get up and close.’

She was able to have quick chats with the reality stars and tell Jess Harding that she was a ‘really good girl’.

‘They were asking questions about what was going on outside but I couldn’t tell them anything,’ she remarked.

During her VIP performance, Rita encouraged islanders to ‘sing it’ and while returning bombshell. Kady McDermott, 27, followed instructions Sammy Root, 22, stared blankly back.

‘It’s the islanders not knowing Rita oras lyrics for me,’ [sic] one viewer joked online.

Another added: ‘I still can’t the islanders acting like they knew the lyrics while Rita was performing plss’.

Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2.

Metro.co.uk has reached out to Hulu for comment.
