CHEERING
MUSIC: 'Deep Down' by Aloka, Ella Eyre, Kenny Dope
Welcome to Love Island Aftersun!
Well, this week, Love Island left no crumbs.
It went from bombshell to straight bombs.
And I don't know if I'm coming or going.
I'm literally like, "Whoa", at the end of that episode.
But to help me make sense of it all, behind the bar tonight
we have Love Island legends, Olivia and Alex.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
In series two, you got married, bought a dream home.
And you recently welcomed your first child together.
Congratulations, guys. Thank you. Thank you.
CHEERING It's date night for you lot.
I was gonna say let's do a shot, but they make me heave.
So, you enjoying the cocktails?
Plenty more of these, trust me! Mum and dad's night out.
Cling, cling, my honeys.
Propping the bar, it's Zara's mum Denise,
dad Michael and brother Alex.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Anna-May and Haris are ready to dish their dirt
on their time in the villa. APPLAUSE
And please welcome superfan Babatunde
and my gossip partners in crime - Sam and Indiyah.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Plus, we have loads more exclusives that you do not want to miss.
That is all coming up on tonight's show.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
OK, right, straight in, let's go.
We have to start by discussing the boy
that everybody keeps throwing themselves at, Tom.
He loves keeping his options open. Don't he?
Dibble dabble. Babatunde, what do you think?
Yo, if you're a good looking guy and, like,
all the girls are throwing themselves at you,
explore your options. Sample the fruits.
Yeah. Sample the fruit. OK.
Indiyah? There's a way to sample your fruits.
I feel like he's doing it the very wrong way. And...
Anyway, not going to say too much. Oh, God.
What do we make of tonight's conversation with Olivia, then?
Because he spoke to Olivia. Olivia's a little bit gassed.
She's thinking, "I've got him in the bag."
Then he goes and snogs Ellie.
I love it. What? Whoa!
LAUGHTER As a viewer, I love it.
Obviously, communication - maybe two out of ten. Mm-hm.
But I think that... exactly what you said, mate.
He's on Love Island. He's a week-and-a-half in.
He's not with anybody.
It's brilliant!
It's giving two against one here. I'm not really for the strategies.
She snogged him. He didn't snog her, she snogged him.
Well, he was doing, like, bedroom eyes.
We call it the upside down triangle.
Did he not kind of grab her face sorta thing? He reached out.
Yeah! That's enough. Isn't there a 90-10% rule or something?
70-30. There you go.
He did 10, she did 90. What?
He did 10, she did 90. Yeah....
I mean, I don't know, do we feel like Tom's' player
or is he just riding the wave? He's a player, yeah.
Well, Tom and Zara cooled things off after that balloon game
which was literally bursting with content.
But let's go back and remind ourselves
of the beginning of the end.
Oh...
"Which three Islanders would make up your perfect partner?
"Choose one for the face, one for the body
"and one for the personality." LAUGHTER
For the face I'm gonna go...
Olivia.
For the body, I'm gonna go Zara.
And for the personality, I'm gonna go Lana.
APPLAUSE
I'm not gonna lie, even Olivia's face said it all.
She was like, "Mm-mm. You do not choose someone else's face
"when you're coupled up with someone else."
Babatunde, did Tom do Zara dirty? Yeah, he did.
He did? 100%.
OK, what would you have answered? Me? If your wife was there.
And you had a couple of ladies next to you,
and you had to spread it out?
If my wife was there, I'd say
face wife, body wife, personality wife.
I love you, wife. APPLAUSE
Yeah. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
How you're supposed to answer! There we are.
Zara's family are here tonight. Hello, lovelies.
Are you proud of how she handled the situation?
Very proud. We are. Good.
What's your opinions on Tom?
Oh, wow. I mean, he is gorgeous. OK.
And there was an instant connection with Zara and Tom. OK.
Which we were very excited about.
And Zara put 110% into that.
And she would hope that Tom was doing that, too.
But as it's transpired, Tom does have wandering eyes.
He does. Zara just would have wanted Tom
to have been a little bit more honest about it. OK.
That is a very respectful answer, mum. Very respectful. I love that.
Thank you. APPLAUSE
Is Zara better out of this situationship now?
Yeah. Yeah. She can flourish.
She's a really strong character.
She's not going anywhere by the way.
I think Shaq might even want to get in there. What?
But we're going ahead of ourselves, I know that.
I understand. I'm one of the very few.
I genuinely think that she's on a journey.
And I can't wait to see it. OK.
Maybe Shaq, that would be really confusing if they ended up together.
But anything can happen. That would be amazing.
OK, right, let's talk about Olivia and Spencer.
They're coupled up. Should she be putting more energy into him?
No. No?
What, you guys think so? Sorry, he is boring, man.
LAUGHTER But he's got a boat.
That is not...!
When he's talking to the girls it's like a negotiation.
It's like, "So, what do you... what's your thing?
"What do you do?" Nah, man. He's boring.
It's not cute? Do you think Olivia's gonna get hurt again?
Not by Spencer, by Tom.
OK. So if she gets back with Tom, do you think he's going to stay?
No? No, absolutely not.
She ain't getting back with Tom. They're not getting back together.
When she finds out about that kiss, it's going to be a bit, no.
All right, fair.
So, then, Olivia and Alex.
There you are. What do you think?
I just don't think anyone's been tested enough yet. Yeah.
We haven't even had Casa Amor yet. Yeah.
That's where it gets crazy.
That's what we're looking forward to.
I'm worried for the couple a little bit.
I don't see anyone really strong yet.
I'm so glad we didn't have Casa Amor.
Seriously, so thank you... LAUGHTER
If you had casa Amor, reckon you would you be here right now?
Absolutely not, this is my wife. LAUGHTER
You can't say that, at least pretend. God!
All right, so, Jessie and Will.
They're together, but Jessie wasn't very happy
with how Will behaved in the balloon game.
Was she overreacting or was she right to feel that way?
It wasn't that serious in my opinion. OK.
And I feel like they're both giving very much friendship
and she's just, kind of... pretending a little bit.
Oh, no. Yeah.
You don't think it's genuine? Unfortunately not.
I do think they like each other,
but very much on the friendship vibe. On Jessie's part any way.
Do you think Will likes her? Yeah, A lot.
Will's getting played? Unfortunately, man .
What do you lot think, is Will getting played?
AUDIENCE CALL OUT Yeah, no, yeah, no?
I don't think he is!
I think he's looking at the situation through...
What do you say? ..rose tinted goggles or whatever. Yeah.
He's defo just looking at it like... oh.
He's my favourite as well.
Sorry, he's my favourite as well. We love Will.
We all love Will.
CHEERING
OK, so if this situation doesn't work out,
what do you think is gonna happen for the both of them?
There will be someone else who comes in,
sees that Will is the fan favourite and is like,
"I'm going for him!" Right.
I feel he'll always be OK.
But I do sometimes wonder, when he sits there and he's like,
"I'm a showman, you know, that's what happens."
That worries me a little bit.
I'm like, "How much of you is the showman and how much is real?"
Just playing devil's advocate. I know everyone loves Will.
You do have to wonder. Right? You do.
We want to see the real you, Will, behind the TikToks. Yeah!
Well, thank you panel. More from you guys later.
But when it comes to Love Island,
they all go in there looking for someone special,
but they don't always find them.
Boxer Haris was out in the second round
and Anna-May... couldn't at all.
Let's remind ourselves of their journey.
The Islanders we have decided we are sending home tonight are...
Anna-May. And Haris.
I am gutted. I'm devastated.
I felt like I could have gave a lot more in the villa.
I am gutted to leave, but at the same time,
I'm very grateful for having the opportunity.
I tried it with Haris, didn't work.
Tried it with Kai, didn't work.
So hopefully we might have better luck on the outside,
you never know.
Just excited to see now what happens.
I did have a gut feeling that I was most likely gonna go home.
Because Aaron did take Olivia out on a date.
I feel like he's not come here to make friends and keep me in.
The only girl he actually has an opportunity with is Olivia.
The reason I didn't find love in the villa,
obviously it was a short period of time.
I didn't feel that connection with anyone that we had in the villa.
I'm also fussy and my mother would agree.
It's nice leaving with Haris.
I feel like we started our journey together
and finished together as well.
It doesn't happen very often I get friendzoned.
You friendzoned me on the opener.
Cos you didn't step, you didn't pick me.
Yeah. I friendzoned him on the opener.
Every moment was literally just the best moments of my life.
Do you think you're going to miss Olivia?
I do miss her quite a bit now, to be honest. I'm not gonna lie.
Yeah, how do you feel? Obviously I'm sad to leave.
I feel like it was short.
Didn't expect that that night.
I feel like we were all really chilled,
making bacon sandwiches in the kitchen -
and next minute, we were all at the fire pit.
But it is what it is, whatever is meant to happen is meant to happen.
I met a great bunch of people and memories for life.
You never know, you and Olivia
could always progress on the outside?
You never know, I'm just going to let it flow. Yeah.
We started it off together, the Love Island villa journey.
We finished it off. Finished it.
We can carry it on in the outside world and be besties. Yeah.
APPLAUSE
Very wholesome. That was wholesome and cute, wasn't it?
Let's catch up with the latest evictees of the villa.
It looks like they made some BFFs,
but did they even sniff a hint of love?
Let's find out. It's Anna-May and Haris.
APPLAUSE
Hello, my loves. How are you? Good. How are you?
Good. Really good. Nice to see you in person again. Yes.
Lovely tans you got on you and everything.
How does it feel being back?
It's nice to be back. Yeah.
Sad at the same time. But, yeah, we really enjoyed it.
I am devastated to obviously leave that early. But it is what it is.
Whatever's meant to be is meant to be.
I've had the best experience of my lifetime. Crazy.
Onwards and upwards, Haris. That's it, yeah.
I don't want to make it awkward. You were coupled up at one point.
Do you feel like maybe you could have pushed for that
a little bit more or not?
I think we kinda knew from the beginning.
We were like, not put together, but I picked Kai in the first instance.
So, I had to pick between Haris and Will.
I think when you get in a situation with trying to get with someone,
you know off the first insight if they are meant for you.
And I didn't get that unfortunately.
I obviously think that she's attractive and everything.
But, yeah, we didn't have that spark. I think... It wasn't there.
Just a little bit awkward, it's fine.
I only chore when I sleep, so
someone's got to be in my energy, if not, it's a bit...
How many red bulls do we need or fizzy energy drinks?
Water's enough for me. Just water. Yeah.
You obviously ended up with Kai. Yes.
It was a bit complicated. Yeah.
Are you happy you went with him?
I mean, yeah, I think out of everyone in the villa,
Kai was who I fancied the most.
I think personalities just didn't click.
Yeah, I think things changed when we coupled up.
I was like, no, I had a little bit of the ick. It was just it then.
What did you think about him kind of moving to Tanyel?
He was already coupled up with Tanyel, then I stole him.
He was a bit 50/50.
Then I think Tanyel started making him breakfast in the morning.
There was a lot more effort from her side after I stole him.
I thought," no, I'm not doing that." You're not doing the extra bits.
LAUGHTER
If you made him pancakes, he might have swerved?
Yeah. Really?
That easily pleased? Couple biscuits and teas? Yeah.
If it wasn't Kai,
was there anyone else you would have wanted to move to? No.
No. Fair enough. All right.
And, Haris, have you watched the shows back?
Yeah, so, my situation obviously was I think that
I had the best connection with Olivia. Yeah.
I felt like when I was with her I could have been with her 24/7.
It was like the fun side was there.
The sexual attraction was there as well. Yeah! Horny boy!
Yeah! We had a good connection.
And I felt like if I had a bit more time in the villa,
especially just before I got dumped,
I felt like we was in a good place. Right.
Obviously Tom was always in the picture. I was going to say.
Tom was always in the picture, but I sorta always backed myself.
I had Tanyel on my side.
She was like the girl that told me a lot of things like
Olivia is still interested in you.
You bring the affectionate side of her.
When Tom was coupled wop her, when we used to do the boys' chat
in the morning, I never used to hear him say that he hugged her.
I thought we're on a good road here.
Cos everyone used to be like, "I hugged her, Lana..."
Tom would just not say owt.
I'd be like, "OK, I'm still in the picture, then."
When I was in be with Olivia, I had a few hugs with her.
Do know what I mean? You said I've got more hugs with you.
Touching toes and everything. Do you know what I mean?
The affectionate side you could say.
I feel like if it were a bit longer, it could have been...
Could have been something else? ..a lot bigger. Yeah.
Even watching back seeing her little chats with Tom,
that doesn't bother you?
I watched an episode when I got dumped,
she had a chat with Tom just before the recoupling.
And their chat was good. I was like, "Oh..."
So I think, in my head I was comfortable,
but I still always thought...
had on my mind that he was in her head.
He was getting in there.
Maybe it was just a time thing.
If you had a bit more time, you could have locked it down.
I feel like a bit of bad luck with the age as well.
I was the youngest lad in there. She was the oldest girl.
I feel like that was always in the picture.
She mentioned that I need to be mature.
I was like, "What do you want me to do? Open the door for you?"
LAUGHTER
I'm going to be mature like...
Maybe make pancakes like what Kai wanted.
I was making salmon avocado, iced coffees. Kai helped with them.
You tried. Yeah, we tried.
Sam, go on? I'm not at school,
I'm going to put it down, but big fan.
You do look like Ronaldo, by the way. Appreciate it.
I like connection with the feet as well. Agree with that.
Nice in bed. I have one question about Shaq and Tanya.
Obviously they spent time in the Hideaway,
you've been in the villa with them.
Do you think they're going all the way?
Shaq was the boy I walked in with. We had the first chat.
He mentioned his type,
but as we got closer, he said on the outside, Zara is his type.
Oh! I knew it!
Tanya on paper is not Shaq's type, you could say. But Zara was.
That's why he tried to pursue things with Zara.
And that sort of just went out of the blue.
I don't know where that went.
That's a big secret we didn't know, Haris. We did not know.
Did you lot know that he liked Zara a bit? Did you see that coming?
AUDIENCE: No...
No, yeah, no.
Nodding.
Oh, God, all right. Such a pleasure watching you both.
Let's remind ourselves of your time in the villa.
Oh, boy. This is crazy.
Hi.
Kai. Hi, you OK?
Kai. Gutted. But I'll speak to you...
Haris. It was meant to be.
You're coupled up with Haris. How's that going?
Are we off to a good start or not? No.
Not feeling it. Nothing there.
I did want Olivia to be in my bed. Olivia, she's nice.
You like serial killers and stuff? Don't think I'd like them.
I do stupid shit. Got a text!
No, I haven't. Fuck sake, Haris!
I'm happy to be in a couple with you.
Gotta play it cool in front of Olivia.
He can do the splits.
Me and Kai are in a couple, I'm really happy about that.
Don't speak to her. I'm not going to do nothing.
Childish.
Me and you get along more as friends.
It is difficult to find someone.
Couldn't wait to get back to Haris.
The public have been voting.
The Islanders we are sending home tonight...
Anna-May and Haris.
Everything about him was just a joy to be around.
Haris is the boy!
He's honestly going to get missed.
Haris, cool energy. Simple as that.
I love Anna-May so much.
She's going to be in my life forever.
Her smile and her love is so infectious.
What a beautiful soul. I am going to miss her so much.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Anna-May and Haris, everybody!
So, of all the Islanders still in the villa,
we wanted to get to know them a little bit better.
So we sent Sam and Indiyah to one of their houses.
Can you get whose gaff it is? Take a look at this.
We're here outside our mystery Islander's home.
We're gonna go in and find some clues to see whose gaff it is.
I can't believe we get to look round a Love Islander's house.
I can't believe we're getting paid to do this.
You're getting paid? Let's crack on.
How much are you getting paid?
This is nice, isn't it? There's a wood burner.
An Islander who's been chopping wood. They might be strong.
Look at the sofa, look at the size of it. So deep.
Imagine the amount of people
that you could pull for a chat on this sofa.
Or watching that massive TV.
There's probably an Islander watching Love Island on that TV,
being like, "I could be on there one day."
I spy pictures. Let's have a look.
Baby pics. Look at the little face.
Toes! They look like they have blonde hair here
but that could change. Hands!
This is our unidentified Islander's kitchen.
Like the induction hob.
I imagine the islander flipping what's probably pancakes,
straight over to coffee. One of those.
Dishes in the thing. One of them.
I don't think that's helpful. Let's have a look in the cupboards.
Protein shakes. This Islander clearly likes to workout.
Jacked. Probably burning off what they cook in these three ovens.
Let's look outside. Shall we?
Do you think that's their dad? Who else do you think it is?
A full-sized goal in the garden. They must love scoring.
Oh, no. Shall I get it? Two secs.
At the moment, it seems this Islander
is putting all their eggs into one basket.
This is the bedroom. Where the magic happens.
Just putting the graft in, you know? We have quite a few screens here.
This Islander works from home.
And also a fan, to cool things off when it's a bit steamy.
And most importantly the bed.
Ah, very bouncy. Lovely. Bedside table.
I'm going to have a nosey.
This lucky Islander also has an en suite,
pretty fancy and handy when your friends stay over
and they don't wanna bump into your parents
when you nip to the loo in the morning.
This is our Islander's night-time read and I'm a huge fan,
it has to be said.
We have teeth whitening over here, sun tan accelerator, a fragrance.
Smells delightful.
No clues here, this is every single Islander that's ever been.
I think these are tanning goggles, if I'm not mistaken.
Sam, are you wearing their dressing gown? I'm very comfortable.
This is getting a bit weird:
This smells lovely as well. I think you've seen enough.
I should never have invited you!
APPLAUSE Wow. Very lovely house.
I saw quite a lot of clues in there.
Anna-May, Haris, Babatunde,
whose house do you think it is? Anna-May?
So I think it could potentially be Tom's
because of the football goals. OK.
Then again, the laptops have thrown me a bit upstairs.
Working from home, maybe Ron. OK.
What do you think, Haris? I'm going to say Ron.
Because he's mentioned that the house is out of the way.
I don't think you get that on a normal street.
Fair. Babatunde? I was saying Tom.
When I saw it, Tom. Two Toms and a Ron.
Sam, what do Olivia and Alex think?
I'm going give you, by the way, you still look so beautiful.
LAUGHTER
He gets taller every time.
Got a massive goal, but geese or ducks.
Or hens, they have like birds basically. Some farm animals.
Some sort of farm animals.
The parents are great, house lovely. I don't know why that helps.
It's just a really nice abode. I feel like it's Ron.
I thought he liked Harry Potter, a huge Harry Potter fan.
I think Tom cos he's super tanned. And I seen some tanning goggles.
The laptops and the computers make me think it's Spencer.
Ooh, a curve ball there. I don't know.
Looking very Ron and Tommish with a twist. And, Indiyah?
Let's find out from our audience. You my lovely.
I'm thinking Ron. OK. I think it's probably because
of the Harry Potter. He used to play football,
saw the goal post and the laptop. I know he works in finance.
Cannot confirm or deny. And, you my lovely?
I also think Ron,
because of the Harry Potter, he's a massive fan.
Something he had in common with Lana.
And he used to play football. Shall we find out?
OK. Yeah, let's find out whose house it is.
By the way, I'm Rodney, Ron's dad, this is his gaff.
Oh, my God. I love... Not Rodney and Ron. Big dad and...Love that.
They are true proof that love can be found on this show.
Let's welcome Olivia and Alex, everybody!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Hello!
Hi! Guys, it's been seven years
since you were both in the villa. I know.
How's life changed? This is so nostalgic, isn't it?
It's been a whirlwind over the past six, seven years.
We got married, we've got a beautiful baby boy.
Life is very different. Life couldn't be better.
It's amazing, though. The things that this show can do.
A lot of people would look at the show and be like,
"No, there's no real love." You are living proof. Yeah.
How does it feel watching back some of your old moments, do you do that?
I'll never watch that back again. Never? Nah.
Probably not the best thing for us to watch back.
Yeah. People tag you in clips and I watch it for ten, 15 seconds
and I'll see how young I look, and be like,
"I have aged 25 years in the past six."
You both still look lovely.
You're the first ever couple to get married from Love Island.
In the world. Cos we have worldwide ones.
How does that feel? That's good now you've said it.
That's a good title, ain't it? Yeah. No, really proud.
We're so grateful to have found each other on there.
We had so many tests during Love Island.
When I watch it back and I watch other people in there,
I'm like, "You need the tests." Yeah.
You need that to happen to see what's gonna come of it.
Yeah. You had tough tests as well.
I remember watching your season. It was savage. It was savage.
It was hard. Do you feel that's made you stronger, then?
100%. Oh, yeah, definitely.
And I feel like the things we went through in there,
we wouldn't have been able to go through in the outside world.
I mean, we didn't have phones. It made the outside world easy.
Yeah, it did. It gave us that trust
that I wouldn't usually have had with someone.
It's not every day that you get, like, girls coming in front
of your face and have to watch your man get moved to,
and vice versa. It's tough.
How about in this series, do you have a favourite couple?
Shaq and Tanyel. Shaq and Tanyel I think for now.
I feel like they are the strongest.
I don't feel like there's a winning couple in there.
There is so much to change in there. I really like Lana as a person.
I hope Will wins on his own. Will on his own!
LAUGHTER
Could that happen? Probably not, no. There is a first time.
That's not how it works, but...
Do you have predictions of the next re-coupling,
of who will end up back together? Cos it's very mixed up right now.
I feel like Tom could be with anyone. Yeah, literally.
Tom's got a big question mark on his head.
All right, well, it is so lovely to meet you,
and thank you for joining us tonight.
Do you fancy sticking around to give extra opinions. Always. Of course.
New bombshell Samie came straight out of North London
and hit the villa HARD.
Luckily, Aftersun caught up with her just before she went in.
We can look at that now.
# Head up to the sky Watch me in the spotlight
# Everybody catch my vibe. #
I'm Samie, I'm 22, and I'm from London.
I got a call this morning, "Get ready in an hour."
And now I'm here. Super surreal to be here.
Three years ago, I bought a Love Island water bottle.
They come in with my case today and I was like,
"Oh, my God, I'm gonna get my own case,
"and get my own water bottle."
Going in as a bombshell is hard, because people are coupled up.
I'm here to find love and have that little happily ever after.
Nothing's gonna stand in my way.
I'm gonna go do my final touch ups, put on my outfit
and then I will be ready to go in.
At the minute, all I'm feeling is excitement.
I'm actually not nervous yet.
God knows what I'm gonna be like when I'm in there.
At the minute, I'm just excited.
I'm Sam, I'm one of the casting assistant producers on Love Island.
Going into the villa can be a very nervous time.
I'm there to make sure that she's OK.
I'm really looking forward to meeting Ellie.
I know she's just joined, but we have a lot in common.
She says it how it is, like, what's on her mind.
She's just, like, talkative. Tanyel, I want her to be my mate
so she can do my hair. She's from North London as well.
Samie is a lot of fun. She is the perfect bombshell.
The boys are definitely in for a treat.
I have my eye on Tom and Ron,
just cos I think they're both really good-looking
and they both seem like sweet hearts.
At the minute, Ron's swaying but he's not,
but he's kind of married off.
So I don't know, we'll see how it plays out.
Same with Tom, actually. He seems all settled down.
Zara is feisty, but I'm used to dealing with girls like her
on a regular, so it should be fine. Ron is with Ellie at the minute.
From what I've seen of Ellie, I really, really like her.
Everything she said about him and Lana not bonding
or whatever or bringing out the best in each other, I agree.
So, I dunno, we'll see what happens there.
I think the boys should go for me because I'm fun, funny,
and I'm also honest. I'm not here to play games.
I'm here to actually find someone. Walking into the villa,
I'm gonna have butterflies, but it's all good.
I'm about to do my slow mo walk.
In my head I'm gonna be like, "Don't fall, don't fall."
# Tonight I'm gon' be rocking it
# Dropping it, dropping it Dropping it
# Shake my ass, no stop... #
Everyone's so dedicated. They just wanna get the perfect shot.
I don't think I've ever done so many steps in my life
doing these slow mo walks.
Today has been a world wind, whirlwind!
Let me start that again.
Today's been a whirlwind. It's been go, go, go from the offset.
But, just get me in there now, I can't wait.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Wow, bombshell Samie landed and the boys' heads are behaving
like a compass - literally in every direction.
What do we think of Samie?
Babatunde? Yeah, she's cool.
She's OK. Wife's watching. No, man, yeah, she's ugly, man.
LAUGHTER
Do you think she's gonna turn heads?
She already has. Ron. That boy.
All right. It has been a big week for Ron and Lana.
Ellie chose Ron in the re-coupling.
Did Ron handle that situation well? Olivia?
I mean, it could have been handled a lot better, couldn't it?
They're just scared to say exactly what they think.
But they need to take a leaf out of Zara's book
and just say it how it is. I love how that girl works.
Ron needs a chat with Zara to work out how to handle situations.
Lana did put her foot down a little bit,
but then she double backed on it.
And it was like, "I'm not having it, but then I kind of am."
Did Lana handle that well, Indiyah?
I think she did. She held her own.
She told Ron, "I'm not here to stick around for your... mess."
But again, agreeing with you,
Ron is afraid to hurt people's feelings
and you just need to say it how it is,
because it will end up worse for him in the long run.
He's a young boy that don't know what he wants yet. That's all it is.
Yeah. And there's too many pretty girls around him.
He's very excitable. Says the dad.
Ron may have won Lana back for now, but is his head about to turn again?
I mean, I've been a bit naughty in here
and been in quite a few couples.
Of course. But I have a good thing going with Lana.
Nice. I don't think anyone's completely closed.
I don't think you can. You can't be naive.
No, it's only been a couple weeks, innit?
Me and Lana have something going, but we'll see. Nice.
Samie is 100% my type on paper.
She's petite, brunette.
If I could draw what my type is - that's her.
That is actually her.
BABATUNDE: This guy. Oh, Ron!
What is Ron's type?
Because I feel like he says that every time someone comes in.
He's like, "I like this one!"
And I'm like, "Oh."
Tanya and Ellie were talking and they said that Ron might be one
of the biggest game players in the villa, do we agree? Sam?
I don't think he's playing a game actually.
I think that he is much like you said,
I think that's so true, that he is scared.
Because I don't think he has that spark with Lana.
But he's basically going down the Curtis Pritchard route.
Like, you get too far gone and then you don't wanna break up
with them further down the line.
And actually, you hurt their feelings even more.
I don't think his boyfriends are helping him that much.
They're like, "You're gonna lose Lana."
I think it's freaking him out. And he's like,
"I need to go back to Lana."
It's almost like a cry for help. He's like, "She's really fit!"
What he's really saying is, I don't wanna be with Lana,
but I can't say no. He needs someone to agree.
He needs someone to say it's OK to not keep going back.
Poor Lana. Oh, my gosh. I don't even wanna imagine it.
Do we think that Ron's gonna end up with Samie?
INDIYAH: Yes. OLIVIA: No.
Indiyah, you do? She's made it clear that Ron is her type.
Excuse me, he's describing everyone that looks nothing like Lana.
Lana is a natural brunette originally.
Maybe if she dyed her hair back. Maybe let the roots grow out.
Who knows.
Let's talk about Lana. She's in a friendship couple right now.
She wants Ron. Do we think that Lana needs to keep her options open
and stop dedicating herself just to Ron?
Yes. I agree.
Everyone nodded. Absolute agreements.
What about little Aaron there. He's hanging on by a thread.
I don't know who that guy is. Is he in there?
Yeah, he's not had much luck thus far.
Do you think he can find love?
If somebody else walks in, yes. At the moment,
it's giving platonic friendship very much.
He's not really trying. That's what I don't understand.
It's almost like the pride is getting in the way.
This is why I love Shaq. He just runs at love.
Shaq has zero pride. But that's what we like, though.
He's going for it. He's like me - if you like someone, you go for it.
Aaron gets the hint a knock back, and he's done.
You're in Love Island, man, you've got to go for it.
The ego, though, it's harsh to get damaged.
What about Tanya and Shaq. First couple in the Hideaway,
stuff was going down.
Did the Hideaway situation make them more solid?
Do you think she's locked in now.
We know Shaq is locked in, so what do we think about Tanya?
I feel like Tanya is here for a good time.
Maybe not a long time.
But, hear me out. I feel like she is just enjoying the moment
as you should on Love Island. I don't know what's gonna happen
in the future. They had a good time in the Hideaway.
But, we're only two weeks in,
you don't know who's gonna walk through that door.
It is early doors. Have they closed themselves off too soon?
Alex and Olivia? I don't know.
They are quite a strong couple. But like you said,
there is so much more to come -
Casa Amor, there's bombshells, there is a lot of weeks left.
That's the real test. I really like them as a couple.
I do. Fingers crossed for them.
I hope they do stick together. We're holding it out.
APPLAUSE
Let's go on to Tanya and Kai.
They were back on track, but then tonight,
Kai pulled Samie for a chat straight away. He was very keen.
What do we think about that, Babatunde?
I really don't want him to do that.
I want him to try and stick with Tanyel.
She is actually a real sweet heart. She has a caring side to her.
Aren't you from North London? I'm from North, come on!
Is biased there? That is North bias. Yes!
Come on. I think now she's growing into like, you know,
into this character that we never expected.
At the beginning, I thought she was fiery and stuff,
but no, she's really nice. She's being gentle.
Yeah, she's really gentle.
Now she's opening up a bit, is Kai gonna mess it up?
Yep. Yes! Yeah.
What does Kai want? I don't think Kai knows what Kai wants.
No. And he's a teacher, but he was talking about the moon
the other day and it was a bit confusing.
Kai got really filled with a lot of compliments early on.
Then it confused him maybe. I don't know.
He might need to communicate a bit more with Tanyel as well.
I think he likes the spotlight.
We said this last week, I will say it again,
what's happening is, there's so much going on now,
I think he's like, "Wait a sec, I'm being left behind a bit here."
At the start, it was all eyes on Kai. Now it's not so much.
I feel like he's freaking out a bit. For Tanyel,
as sweet as she is, you can't wait for that much longer
for the walls to come down.
Like, you've got to... It's Love Island, right?
There's loads of people that wanna be on there.
You've got to grab it by the horns. Grab love by the horns.
Grab love by the horns! That's the slogan.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
But first, let's go to South Africa,
where Kai is calling us live for a chat. Hello, Kai.
Hi, you OK?
How are you finding life in the villa?
I'm absolutely loving it.
It's amazing, like, it's a lot better than I thought
it was going to be as well. Yeah?
You seem really close. I feel like you've got bonds going on.
Who's your best friends in there?
Honestly, it's hard to say, but I have to say it's Ron and Will.
Ron's like a voice of reason all the time.
And Will, like, I think you'll all know he brings
the laughs and the joy for everyone.
Naww. Love that. And who's making your bed
and ironing your clothes? Because I know your mum's not there.
Yeah, honestly, my mum and little sister make my bed
and iron my clothes all the time.
But here, Shaq is ironing my clothes.
I'm making my bed.
It was, erm... It was Ron, but now,
I think it's a team effort for making my bed.
Because yeah, I was trying to put my bottom sheet on
for about an hour the other day. Oh, my God.
Not you assigning everyone as your maids and helpers.
But yeah, big up yourself for that one.
Here on Aftersun we like to play a game with our Islanders
in the Beach Hut.
Kai, I'm going to give you some quick-fire questions,
are you ready to spill the tea?
Yeah, let's go. Let's go. Let's go.
Your time starts now.
Who snores the loudest?
Shaq. Who has the best chat-up lines?
Ron. Who is the messiest?
Tanyel. Who has the worst chat-up lines?
Erm... Will.
Who is the most vain?
Probably Tanyel as well.
Who takes the longest to get ready?
Ah, that's a hard one.
Out of the boys, it's got to be Will.
OK, and who gives the best cuddles?
Tanyel. Who has the best six pack?
Erm... Spencer.
OK. Who has the best banter?
KLAXON You can answer that.
Er, the best banter has got to be Will again.
I feel like he's been my favourite on 'ere. We love Will.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Thank you so much for joining us tonight, Kai.
Everybody make some noise for Kai.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Now, bombshell Zara entered the villa with
"I'm here to mash tings up energy". And she did not disappoint.
Her beef with Olivia has been such good viewing.
But what does her family think of the situation?
Please welcome her parents Denise and Michael and her brother Alex.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Hello, thank you for coming in.
Mum, you are beautiful, by the way. Stun-ing.
What's it's been like watching your daughter on Love Island?
Wow. It's been a bit of a roller-coaster. Yeah?
We never watched the show before. OK.
We just saw tiny snippets.
But obviously, we are glued to the TV.
Yeah, the whole family.
I think I've got a heart rate of about 150 at the moment.
Of course! As a dad it must be a bit tough.
You wanna jump into the screen, I'm sure. It's very tough.
But she's doing well. I'm a Leo, she is as well.
I'm not gonna lie, there's a few situations she's been in,
where I would have acted exactly the same.
It's the fire in us. It comes out sometimes.
Are we seeing the real her on telly? Absolutely.
That is Zara. I feel like there's more to come out
with the right person as well. Yeah?
I asked your opinions on Tom earlier.
You were nice about him, Mum. Is he her type on the outside world?
Um, she did say she'd never dated a guy with blue eyes.
But I don't know what colour his are. Maybe they're green?
It was exciting for us to see her with a blue eyed boy
or green eyed boy.
And of course, you know, he's the height,
the looks and we really were quite excited.
Dad, you're not too impressed, are you?
But time has shown that he has wandering eyes.
Yeah. I feel like that's good.
I feel like it's good it's stopped for now.
What do we think about Zara and Olivia's situation?
I'm gonna ask you, Alex.
There has been a lot of talk that they knew each other before.
Do you know anything about that? Can you give us some insight?
They have been on set together in a music video,
a few things like that.
As people do, on social media, they exchange messages,
big each other up and that sort of thing.
But no, they didn't know each other beforehand.
Everything's that unfolded has been on TV.
Just like acquaintances, but then now this is where
it's all started, there wasn't previous. No.
Fair enough. If you could give Zara some advice,
what would you say to her? Stay strong. Believe in yourself.
You're a strong woman. Stay as you are, don't change.
I love that. Very supportive, cute family.
You lot are lovely. Thank you so much.
Make some noise for Zara's family.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
It is exclusive time.
So, Kai and Will are in the gym and someone's head is turning,
hint, it's not Will.
Roll VT.
Mate, it's tough. We have a bit of a spark there.
We do get on. And it is funny and stuff like that.
But I'm not too sure if it's relationship-y.
I think as well, a lot of girls are very, very wary
of stepping on Tanyel's toes. Yeah. D'you know what I mean?
I don't think Samie will be.
I don't think anyone really wants smoke with Tanyel.
Which makes it difficult for me because I don't want girls
to be scared off getting to know me
just cos they're scared of the beef with Tanyel. Of course, yeah.
Erm... So, is Kai basically saying that more girls
would be talking to me if they weren't shook of Tanyel
or is he making excuses that other girls aren't talking to him?
I don't know. What do you think?
That was a little bit left. Indiyah?
It's an excuse. I don't think girls are scared of Tanyel.
I think KAI is probably scared of Tanyel and he's scared
to talk to other girls because he doesn't want Tanyel
to put him in his place. That's it.
That's what it is. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Babatunde, do you think we're gonna see more love triangles next week?
Oh, yes. 100%, man. Kai, his head is turning.
Ron, and obviously he's doing his thing.
Yeah, we're definitely gonna see some love triangles.
It's going to be good. I'm gonna get my pop corn.
And, Sam, who do we think is gonna be in trouble?
Is anyone vulnerable right now?
You know what's so good this season, I don't want anyone to go.
I love all of them. I think they're all such good characters.
Even Spencer? Oh, yeah. Spencer can go!
D'you know what, I think Spencer's in trouble.
I also think if Kai doesn't actually buckle up a bit,
he might be in trouble. If he goes for someone and they don't pick him,
Tanyel's not coming back.
I worry for, I don't really worry for him,
but he could be in trouble. Do you think? I agree. I agree.
I always turn to Indiyah. Indiyah knows best.
I feel like Kai will be in trouble.
What I love about Tanyel is, she doesn't take any mess.
If he wants to go somewhere else, leave me alone. Let him go.
Do that again. What was that? Let him go.
What do you think of this?
I feel like the girls have been under a lot of pressure.
The boys haven't really been stressed recently.
Do we need a new sexy ting to come in and rattle the lads?
Yes. Just pile up all the sexy tings,
bring them in there, more sexy tings for the boys.
I'm rooting for the boys. For the boys?!
More sexy tings for the girls. You meant for the girls?! Oh!
I meant for the girlies.
I feel like the boys have had an easy ride thus far.
The girls are carrying it, though.
I think the girls all have so much personality.
Yeah, I think that the boys could probably do with stepping up
a little bit. They need someone to rattle them.
It's been such an easy ride for the boys.
They've just been having bombshell after bombshell.
It's time for the girls to have some time.
CHEERING
I agree. Girl power. I do think so.
Who knows... TEXT ALERT
I've got a text. Hang on a minute. My first text.
Not me bringing the drama. OK!
I can't wait.
I can't wait to get back over there, top up my tan.
I might even go to the Tree House, have a little lips.
Maybe with Tom, because he's "single" now.
Imagine me lipsing Tom. Anyway, that's all for tonight.
I need to get packing, but please show some love
for Babatunde, Indiyah and Sam!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Our Love Island legends, Olivia and Alex.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Anna-May and Haris and Zara's family.
See you later.
