CALLUM Jones has been defended by Love Island fans who have called out 'double-standards' after his sex confession.

On Friday night's episode of the ITV2 fave, Callum found himself in trouble with ex Molly King when he confessed during a game of truth or dare he had slept with 16 people in the six months since their split.

After bragging he was up for a 'ruthless' question, Anton Danyluk stirred the pot by asking him.

His frank answer caused commotion around the firepit as his fellow All-Star islanders digested his answer.

Molly, who split with Callum after a three-year romance last year, was left stony-faced before ultimately responding: "You do you".

Callum responded with a catty comment, telling her: "That's what I did."

Callum did try to explain himself, saying he'd never had that 'single time' before and had gone travelling for a month after the break-up.

However, some viewers were quick to jump to his defence, branding the whole fallout 'slut-shaming' which wouldn't be tolerated the other way around.

"Umm r we really shaming Callumfor having consensual sex while SINGLE? please...He lived his best life after almost FOUR YEARS in a serious relationship," said a third. "Molly needs to leave him alone. That's not disrespectful to her AT ALL."
