Temptation Island viral clip explained: What happened to Montoya and can you watch the show in UK?
The viral refrain "Montoya por favor!" has taken over the internet.
If you’ve glanced at social media today, you’ve probably been inundated with clips of a screeching Spanish man sprinting down a beach in the middle of the night to confront his girlfriend while she gets intimate with another man.
The dramatic scenes haven’t been plucked from a far-fetched romantic movie as you might expect, but rather from La Isla de las Tentaciones (Temptation Island), the truly wild Spanish reality TV show filmed on the shores of the Dominican Republic that has taken the world by storm.
The reality TV show follows a cohort of couples who agree to test their relationships by entering separate villas where singles try to seduce them into being unfaithful.
So, what's going on in the viral clip and how can you watch the Spanish show in the UK? Read on for everything you need to know.
Temptation Island viral clip explained: What happened to Montoya?
Dating show aficionados will have noticed that Temptation Island follows a similar format to the popular Casa Amor segment on ITV’s Love Island, which sees the contestants separated for a few days to tempt them with a new group of Islanders.
There's just one major difference.
Unlike Love Island’s segment Casa Amor, during which the drama is (at least initially) hidden from the contestants in the other villa, in Temptation Island, the chaos is reported live.
And that’s exactly what happened in the viral clip from Temptation Island, as contestant José Carlos Montoya was forced to watch on a huge screen as his girlfriend, Anita Williams, got intimate with another contestant in Villa Playa.
After a few moments of watching the action, Montoya was no longer able to take it and started running the entire length of the beach between villas to confront her.
Host Sandra Barneda attempted to stop him with the now viral refrain: "Montoya por favor, Montoya, por favor!"
But her efforts were to no avail as he continued sprinting down the beach to reach Anita.
