MAYA JAMA: That soothing sound of the sea.
The warm air giving us all the feels.
SONG: 'Touch Me' by Rui Da Silva
# Touch me in the morning And last thing at night... #
It can only mean one thing.
Summer is here, and we are back.
I'm on my way. Are you?
# We can only understand What we are shown
# How was I supposed to know Our love would grow?
# Move a little closer
# Be sure I'll pick it up
# Heal me with your loving
# I need you so much I need you so much
# Touch me in the morning
# And last thing at night
# Keep my body pumpin'
# You know it feels right
# You touch my mind In special places
# My heart races with you
# We can only understand What we are shown
# How was I supposed to know Our love would grow?
# Touch me in the morning
# And last thing at night
# Keep my body pumpin', baby
# You know it feels right
# We can only understand What we are shown
# How was I supposed to know our love would grow?
# Touch me in the morning
# I need you so much I need you so much
# You'll always be my baby... #
Get ready for a summer of love.
IAIN STIRLING: Gorgeous skies.
Dramatic cliffs.
And shots from a very expensive drone
moments before the battery ran out, and it fell into the Med.
It could only be a sexy Love Island opening montage.
# Young hearts run free... #
Yes, we're back, and once again,
we've put together a villa fit for a king...
or a bunch of freeloaders
with abs you could crack a walnut on.
There's a pool for swimming.
A kitchen for cooking.
And a fire pit for...
I have literally no idea, but it's always been there.
And as socially responsible programme-makers,
this year's Love Island's going green.
Seriously.
We recycled these two daybeds from the South African show
by flying them to Spain by private jet.
Well... Two private jets. They didn't both fit into one.
# Say I'm gonna turn loose A thousand times a day... #
We've also got a brand-new dressing room
with a bin to recycle clothes... nice!
And 30% of my voice over will be recycled material from last summer.
I do like to do my bit for the planet.
As ever, the only rule for taking part on the show is
contestants must shave off all their armpit hair.
Let's do one final check...
THEY CHEER
Clean as a whistle!
The class of summer 2023 is clear for take-off.
I'm Ruchee.
Hello. I'm Jess. Lovely to meet you.
Lovely to meet you. Oh, my God!
This is amazing! RUCHEE SCREAMS
Oh, my God! It looks so nice.
You look so good. So do you!
# Oh, young hearts To yourself, be true
# Don't be no fool When love really don't love you... #
Oh, my God. Oh, my God!
THEY SQUEAL IN EXCITEMENT
BOTH:Oh, my God!
This is amazing. Oh, my God!
Look at the little fire pit.
Oh, my God. Let's get a drink. Let's get a drink right now.
Oh, my God.
OK, who's gonna do this? Cos I can't do this.
THEY LAUGH
I'm too clumsy.
I can't even believe that we're here.
I'm not gonna be sleeping on them, I'm telling you right now. No way!
Right... Away from me!
CORK POPS
THEY SCREAM EXCITEDLY
Hi, everyone! Am I supposed to start already?
I'm sorry! LAUGHING:Let's go again!
I'm Jess, I'm 22. I'm from London,
and I've been single for the last two years.
I love a smooch. I could smooch all night.
SHE LAUGHS
Flirting does get me into a bit of trouble.
Cos I just love winding the boys up.
I'm going on Love Island to find love.
I actually am ready to settle down
and have kids and probably get married.
I want to be that young MILF, you know.
The one that takes her kids to school in the Range Rover.
I want to be one of them mums.
# Na-na, na, na... #
My best feature is probably my boobs.
I get messages all the time, like, "Where did you get your boobs done?"
Hun, they're real.
Thanks, Mum!
# Na, na-na... #
I've got the looks, the personality, and the body,
so, I mean, you've got all three.
They come in threes, don't they?
# Love is gonna find you
# Finally. #
Oh, my God, this is mad.
Yes, no, go on, tell me your type.
My type?
I feel like I go more for, like, personality.
Do you? Yeah, I do.
You've got quite a bit personality. Do you think?
I'm vibing, yeah. OK!
I like that.
I like you do as well. Mm.
I go more for personality, but definitely height.
Height? Height, like... OK.
Fashion sense. OK.
It has to be, like, top tier.
OK, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I feel like you can't, like, come in, like...
I don't know, tight skinny jeans.
Yeah. Oh, my God, yeah. That's gonna put me off.
That's an ick, isn't it? Light, white skinny jeans.
Oh, my God, white skinny jeans! For sure, ick.
# You've gotta show me love... #
My name's Ruchee, I'm 24.
I'm a beautician and I'm from Surrey.
I've been single for four months, I've been dating a few people.
It's interesting, like, comparing.
I like this thing about this guy,
and I like this thing about this guy.
# You gotta show me love... #
I'm very traditional.
I would never go to someone,
but sometimes you've got to give them eye.
SHE LAUGHS
Deep down, I'm like, "Argh!"
I feel like you need to match my energy.
Otherwise, I'll just walk all over you.
I have been on a few dates where I've intimidated guys,
and they start stuttering or mumbling.
I'm like, "I can't hear you!"
I have been in love before, but it didn't work out.
I know what I want now.
Looks are important, but I have to like you as a person.
I can't, like, just be like, you know, "You're a pretty boy."
I need to be the pretty one in the relationship, not you.
# You gotta show me love. #
So, what do your, like, exes look like?
Most of them, are they, like, blond or, like...
No, brunette. Brunette.
Yeah, brunette.
Tall, dark and handsome? Yeah, I like that sort of vibe.
Yeah. But I do like pretty boys.
Mm. I'm excited to meet everyone.
To see what boys come in. And the girls.
# Wherever I go
# Teardrops on the dancefloor... #
IAIN: It's the next Islander and, surprise, surprise,
as the midwife said to my mum
after peering through a magnifying glass
for five minutes... it's a boy!
RUCHEE AND JESS LAUGH
Hello, hello! Hello!
How are you two? You all right? Oh, my God!
Hi! How are you? I'm Jess.
Nice to meet you.
What is your name? Mitchel.
Hello, Mitchel.
In your reds, bringing in the love, I see!
They're quite tight. Lovely to meet you. You, too.
What's your name? Hi, Ruchee.
So, Mitchel, do you want a drink? Yes, badly.
Let's get one. It's nice here, innit?
How are you feeling? Oh, I'm in a good mood.
Are you? Where are you from? Sheffield. Where are you two from?
Sheffield? London.
Oh, yeah. You both southerners? Yeah, we're both southerners.
Yeah. I don't know about that.
Oh, my God! It's all right, now I've said it.
Do I pour it myself? I think I need filling up as well.
I'll do it if you like. Oh, go on, then, be a gent.
Be a gent. RUCHEE LAUGHS
Thanks, darling. All right. Cheers.
ALL SAY CHEERS
To Love Island.
2023, whoo! That's it.
I am really surprised. Yeah.
I thought there was going to be more girls.
I thought I was going to walk in with two dudes,
two guys around me.
JESS LAUGHS
Am I on the girls' side? I don't...
RUCHEE AND JESS LAUGH
Am I with the girls? Are you talking about...
This is so weird. I know.
I thought there was gonna be, like...
I thought there was gonna be loads of girls.
And like, "Hi, girl!"
I was walking through and I was like, "There's only two."
I know! Oh, my God, how exciting, though.
I've no idea what to expect now.
# I know we've been vibing... #
My name is Mitchel.
I'm 26, from Sheffield, and I'm a gas engineer.
Being a gas engineer, it's gas leaks, water leaks,
just being the gas superhero, yeah!
Outside of work, I like to keep myself fit.
What is me stand out from the other boys is
I'm probably better looking than them.
Oh, God, you can't use this.
HE LAUGHS
Right now, I do live at home with my parents.
I really need to move out.
# All I know is... #
People see the hands and face, the good body, the good job,
and they just think, "Oh, he's a fuck boy."
Can I say that?
I've got a massive heart, I thrive on being a gentleman.
I'm opening doors, special dates, surprises.
I'm always a nice guy. Nice guys finish last.
# So don't you worry... #
I'm 100% a relationship type of guy.
As soon as I'm out of one, I want to be back in another one.
I have been in love, so I want that feeling again.
# Oh-oh... #
I can see you've probably got a bit of bad boy in you.
Oh, do you reckon? Yeah.
THEY LAUGH
Judging a book by its cover now, are we?
So, what are your...? What's your type like?
I like pretty boys. Mm.
Oh, great. Yeah.
THEY LAUGH
It's amazing (!)
What do you do, then? For work? Yeah.
Yeah. Go on, just guess.
I think you're, like, an electrician. If you say...
Close. I'm gonna...
BOTH:Plumber?
A gas engineer. Ooh, OK!
It's, like, a smarter version. That's plumbing, innit?
Gas safety registered, are you?
Yeah, of course I am! Course I am!
Hello! It's another lad. Typical!
You wait for ages for one boy at the top of the show,
and then two come along at once.
Well, yeah. Beyonce's a Virgo...
Oh, my God. Oh, wow.
Oh, my days. THEY SCREAM
Oh, wow!
How's it going, bro? Yeah, it's really good.
What's your name, bro? Mitch. What's yours?
Dre. Nice to meet you. And you.
How's it going? I'm Ruchee.
Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you.
Hello, I'm Jess. Lovely to meet you.
Nice to meet you. I'm Andre, but you can call me Dre.
Oh, that was a bit of a twang. A bit of a twang!
THEY LAUGH
Yeah, I'm from... Yeah, I like it!
Thank you. Can I get you a drink?
Yes, please, if you don't mind. Oh, my...
Get you settled down first. I appreciate that.
Dre's got the deepest voice in the world.
I'm so jealous! This is crazy. Oh, my goodness.
THEY SCREAM
Sorry! Yo!
What's this? Champagne? Thank you.
Let's do a toast. Cheers!
ALL:Cheers!
To Love Island! Cheers to Love Island. For real.
Are you surprised to see us here? I'm very surprised.
I know, I was a bit surprised as well.
When I was walking in, I was thinking,
"Cool. The ladies are gonna be standing," or whatever.
I like it. I feel like we can get to know you first
before I decide to take it forward.
Can't wait for this, man.
My name is Andre. I'm 21 years old.
I'm a business owner from Dudley.
There's too many fine women in this world for me to not look at.
Like, there's what? Three billion?
What? Damn.
Portuguese is my first language.
Eu te amo - "I love you."
Tu es bonita - "You are very pretty."
They work like a charm. HE CHUCKLES
My favourite physical features on a girl.
First one is the eyes. Second one is the lips.
Third one is the big bum-bum.
Eu adoro rabo - "I love bum-bum."
I know that my wandering eye
is probably gonna get me in trouble in the villa.
I... I can't contain my wandering eye from wandering.
You know what I mean? HE CHUCKLES
Where are you from?
So, I was born in Portugal, but I live in Birmingham.
So, erm... Oh, not too far from me.
Oh, where are you from, bro? Sheffield.
Oh... Yeah, yeah.
West Midland boys, and we've got some southern London girls.
Hang on. There's another girl arriving!
I like it. Always good to shake up the format.
Let's stick with the original voice-over guy, though, yeah?
No need to go crazy.
# Don't need no conversation... #
OMG!
Oh, my God. JESS:Hi!
Hello. ALL:Hi!
Whoa! How are you doing?
How are you? I'm good. How are you?
I'm good. What's your name?
I'm Ella. Nice to meet you. I'm Ruchee.
Ruchee... Hi, I'm Jess.
Lovely to meet you. Jess, nice to meet you.
You all right? Mitchel. Mitchel, nice to meet you.
What's your name? Ella. Ella, nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you. I'm Dre. Dre.
Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you.
JESS:It's so weird that there's, like, boys and girls!
THEY AGREE
Was you a bit, like, confused? I'm confused.
Here you go, babe. Thank you.
So, what's your type... usually?
Mm, tall, tanned or dark skin.
Erm... nice teeth. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Nice teeth. Erm... muscly, but not too muscly.
Unlucky, bro. Unlucky, bro.
Enough press-ups could get me... You know?
I'm gonna sort you out tomorrow. I'm sure there's a gym.
I'm sure there's a gym somewhere. Yeah, that's it!
I'm Ella, 22, I'm a model from Glasgow.
Oh, I'm 23 now! INTERVIEWER:Yeah...
I'm sor... SHE CHUCKLES
Sorry. It was my birthday last week.
I've been single ten months now. I do love a fit guy,
but they just play with my heart too much.
So I might have to go for, like, a medium good-looking one.
Maybe go for a nine instead of a ten.
It's important to me that you, like, do the most for me,
that you treat me right, treat me like a queen.
I cannot hide emotion with my face, so if I don't like you,
like, the face will say it.
I can be a bit feisty sometimes. SHE LAUGHS
From now, I'm gonna be a bit unclear in the beginning,
rather than just give someone my heart straightaway.
I just want to find a good guy. I'm looking for a husband.
I'm sure he'll be in Mallorca. SHE LAUGHS
# Look at you, so astonished Yeah
# I'm so iconic... #
So, what's your type? Er, my type?
I go mainly for, like, personality. I know it's kind of like,
"Oh, you're boring." No, bro, that's right. Yeah.
I look for the inside first, and then the outside.
But the outside is, like, what you see first.
HE SCOFFS Like, what kind of girl
would you see and be, like, "Oh, I'm gonna approach her"? OK.
Erm... THEY LAUGH
Might as well make it juicy but... Go on, then.
..yourself, madam. Aw!Well, that was really direct.
Oh, you wanna swap places, bro?
So you're quite, like, straightforward?
Say how it is? Yeah, yeah. Quite straightforward.
That's nice.That's good. That's the vibe.
I like to be straightforward.
IAIN STIRLING: OK, guys, let's put the banter brakes on
cos My-My-Maya... it's time for the Jama.
# And I ain't even need your help I put the work in
# Put the work in
# You gotta do it for yourself Put the work in
# I heard you looking for results Put the work in... #
SHE SQUEALS
CHEERING MAYA JAMA: Hello, my lovelies.
GIRLS:Oh, my God!
You OK?How's it going? Making yourselves at home already?
Of course. Yeah.
Settling. It is very exciting.
Do you wanna head over to the fire pit for a chat?
Yes. Yes, sir. Oh, my God.
# Oh, won't you hold me? There's nothing left to lose
# Cos there's a part of me That loves you like I used to do. #
Well, it's nice to finally meet you all.Thank you.
Girls, you look stunning. Thank you. Thank you.
Boys, you look all right, too. All right.
LAUGHTER
Is that what it is? I mean, this is a bit different.
We've switched it up a little bit by letting you meet at the beginning.
Yeah. Yeah. Why? Yeah.
Do you like it? You happy with the way...?
It's good, yeah. Unexpected. Nice.
Anyone been flirting already? Absolutely.
LAUGHTER He's been trying.
Andre's been trying. A little bit.
You know, just... You've been having a flirt already?
Yeah, man. A butterfly's a butterfly.
With who? Oh, we'll save that for later.
LAUGHTER
And, Ella, what are you looking for?
Looks-wise, I'd say, you know, tall, nice teeth...
ANDRE CHUCKLES
I quite like, a cheeky...
Well, she's obviously talking about me.
And, Ruchee, what about you?
Yeah, I feel like - height, fashion sense,
and, like, someone that I can obviously bring to my family,
cos I'm so, like, family orientated. Mm-hm.
So, Mitchel, is it all about relationships for you,
or are you a bit of a serial dater?
I'm getting to an age where I need just to settle down,
find wifey, kids, dogs, house, everything. Aw.
But you're ready to settle, settle?
Well, if the right person comes across, definitely, yeah. Nice.
Jess, you've got a big smile on your face, what's your type?
Erm, oh, so to be fair, my type's pretty boy.
Pretty? Yeah. With turkey teeth.
Turkey teeth? Yeah, I love them.
I don't know what it is. You know what?
That is niche, I think. Yeah.
I've never heard someone say, "I want turkey teeth."
No, don't get me wrong, like, no,
I'm not looking for someone specifically with turkey teeth,
but if they've got nice teeth, then that's fine.
But if you've got turkey teeth, it's a bonus. Oh, my... OK.
All right, well, you guys have had a little bit of time
to get to know each other. However, I have got some news.
Ooh. Ooh.
None of you guys will be coupling up with each other...
OK. Wait... Wait, wait, wait.
..as that decision has already been made...
Oh, my God.
..by the public. No way. I knew it. Oh, my God.
So, you ready to find out who the public have coupled you up with?
ALL:Yes. Sure. Absolutely.
SHE SQUEALS
I don't know what to expect. Let's do it. Let's go.
Oh, boy!
# Let the games begin Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
# Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Let the games begin
# Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Let the games begin. #
IAIN STIRLING: Five Islanders have just heard
that the public will be coupling them up.
I wonder how Jess feels about having no control
over who she's coupling up with.
If only someone would ask Jess how she feels
about having no control over who she's coupling up with.
So, Jess, how do you feel about having no control
about who you are coupling up with?
To be honest, I think it's exciting, but nerve wracking, definitely.
I think it's just one of them things you just have to risk.
Life is made for making risks, so...
Trust the process. Trust the process.
OK. Everybody, this is George.
Yo! LAUGHTER
What's going on?
# Here we go again
# It's going through my head
# Here we go again... #
Hey, George, come on over. Hey, you all right?
Welcome to the Love Island villa. Buzzing.
Buzzing? Absolutely.
I'm George, I'm 24 years old.
I'm a business development executive from Bedford.
In a nutshell, it's just a glorified salesman.
My mum actually calls me a Casanova.
I don't know what that is, I thought it was a car.
I just naturally flirt.
I feel like you can flirt yourself into anything.
If I'm chatting to someone, they're a little bit older, 40s, 50s,
I could start talking about bingo.
Whereas if I'm talking to someone 22, 23, I can talk about TikTok.
Behind the Del Boy personality, I am a soppy geezer at heart.
I'm 24 now, I'm looking to find Mrs Right.
She's got to have good personality, good energy,
and someone to actually build a really good connection with.
I'm going on Love Island to find the love of my life.
You may have noticed things are a little bit different this time.Yep.
So, these guys have spent a little bit of time
hanging out together already. Yeah.
I'm not gonna ask you to choose
which of the girls you want to couple up with.OK.
Because that decision has already been made by the public.
Oh, wow. OK. Bit of a twist. Cheeky little twist. That's all right.
Yeah. How do you feel about that?
It's all right. I'm sure they made a good decision.
Good bunch, good variety. So, it's all right.
Do you have your eye on anyone already?
Yeah. Yeah, definitely, yeah.
All right. Fingers crossed you get your one.Absolutely.
OK, George, the girl that the public have chosen
for you to couple up with is...
..Jess.
Please head over and go and say hello.
Hi. All right, darling? You all right?
Lovely to meet you. Lovely to meet you, too, babe.
We have our first Love Island couple.
Jess and George. You look cute.
The dream team. Do you know what I mean?
George, you happy with the public's decision?
Very happy. Yeah, absolutely very happy.
My type on paper, to be fair. Aw, thank you.
Was this the one you were hoping for?
Yeah, definitely, yeah.
You stuttered! Less of the "Er..."
Jess, how are you feeling?
Good. What do you think of him?
Handsome boy. Thank you.
All right. Shall we meet our next Islander?
ALL:Yes! Let's go.
This is Molly.
SHE GASPS
# Ain't a phase That I'm going through... #
Hi! Hello, Molly. Welcome.
Hello. Come on in. Nice to see you all.
How are you? Oh, you look lovely.
Thanks. Are you excited to be here?
Oh, yeah. My heart is beating out of my chest. I'm not gonna lie.
This is just mental. Wild.
# Because I could be alone Up in the club... #
I'm Molly, I'm 21 years old. I'm from sunny Doncaster.
I'm a musical theatre performer. Ha!
So, I dance, act and sing.
SCREAMS
Oh, my goodness, that was horrible.
I'm sorry.
I live on a farm with my mum, my dad, my grandma, my grandad,
my auntie, my uncle, and chicken, Cockaletta.
I don't use dating apps.
I haven't really been on any dates. That's my problem.
My type would be a cheeky chap, cheeky smile.
Cheeky personality. Cheeky bum.
I generally like someone who's muscley, but he likes his mum.
Like, he's a family orientated guy.
I'd absolutely love to find someone now.
The future husband, the one. Yeah, I want forever.
What do you think of these gorgeous boys standing in front of you?
It's just crazy. Everyone is beautiful. Oh, my goodness.
Anybody caught your eye on first glance?
Yeah. Red shorts. Yeah. OK.
Matchy-matchy. Yeah.
I mean, it is giving Baywatch a little bit, both of you two.
That's what we do.
So, as you can see, things are a little bit different here.
But, before I explain what's going on,
let's meet our next Islander, Catherine.
THEY WHOOP
Hello.
Welcome to the party, Catherine. This is Molly.
MOLLY:Hello! Hi, Molly.
How are you? Good, thank you. You?
Good. Good.
You look fire. Thank you.
Incredible.
Goose bumps, butterflies? Yeah, a little bit.
I feel like they've come on now.
When I flirt, I just give people the eyes.
Yeah.
# What is love? # Baby, don't hurt me... #
My name's Catherine, I'm 22, and I'm from Dublin.
I've basically been single for ever. It's quite bad.
# Don't hurt me no more # What is love? #
Everyone's always shocked that I'm single.
My life is full of situationships.
I don't know, they just don't turn into anything.
I like a well-groomed guy. Good smile, funny and tall.
# Yeah # What is love? #
I can see through bullshit from a mile away.
Like, I'm basically psychic. SHE GIGGLES
In the villa, I will be competitive.
I like winning. Who doesn't like winning?
I am looking for love.
I'm here! Hello! Hi!
# What is love? #
So, Catherine, do you like what you see so far?
Yeah, I do. SHE GIGGLES
ANDRE GIGGLES Anyone in particular?
Erm... Yeah. THEY LAUGH
Keeping your cards close to your chest at the moment?
Yeah. Until I have to say. THEY LAUGH
Molly and Catherine,
this probably wasn't what you were expecting, right?
BOTH:No. Not at all. I'm really confused.
Very. SHE GIGGLES
So, we already have our first couple, Jess and George.
Girls, you'll be coupling up with Andre or Mitchel.
But it won't be your choice
because the public have already made that decision for you.
Oh, my God. How does that make you feel?
SHE LAUGHS I trust the public, you know?
Yeah? I think they're gonna do a good job.
Yeah. And you?
You know, what they think probably might be good.
OK. Andre and Mitchel, are you excited?
Yeah, very. Eyes have lit up now, haven't they?
Oi... HE LAUGHS
So, let's find out who's been coupled up with who.
Catherine, the public has decided
that you should be coupled up with...
Andre. BOYS CHEER AND CLAP
Which means,
Molly, you have been coupled up with red shorts, Mitchel.
Woo-hoo! Yay! THEY CLAP
Catherine, head over and meet Andre.
CATHERINE GIGGLES How's it going, you all right?
Hi.
And, Molly, go and say hello to Mitchell.

Yeah. Love the energy. She's stunning, too.
Molly, you feeling? Yeah, I'm so happy.
He was my first choice. Yeah. Worked out well.
Andre, Catherine a bit of you?
Oh, very much so. Yeah.

Ten out of ten. Absolutely.
Catherine, you happy? Yeah, definitely happy.
Good. I feel like so far, everyone's got smiles.
We're good. CATHERINE:Yeah.
We're good, we're good. Public, well done.
They've done their thing. Ultimate wingmen.
Well, we now have three couples,
Jess and George, Catherine and Andre and Molly and Mitchell.
Ruchee, are you ready to meet your man?
I just want someone to stand next to me, so I don't feel so lonely.
Ella, are you feeling nervous?
I'm ready. You can bring them out now.
OK. THEY LAUGH
OK. Let's meet our next Islander.
It's Mehdi.
Ooh la la. It's beautiful.
Bonjour, everyone. Bonjour!
# Do you speak anglais? # Sorry, desole... #
Welcome to Love Island. Thank you very much.
How exciting's this? Ah, it's so exciting.
Hi, everyone. ALL:Hello.
Nice to meet you.
# Hello, hello... #
My name's Mehdi, I'm 26, I'm from France,
and I've been single for over two years.
# Yeah, I go hello... #
When people meet me, they always tell me, like,
"Voulez-vous coucher avec moi, ce soir?"
Which is most of the time a yes, but...
HE LAUGHS # Parlez-vous anglais? #
Girls fall for me pretty easily. I don't know why.
Is it the personality? Is it the aftershave?
Probably. HE LAUGHS
# I'm back to life Here I go, go, go... #
I like a nice brunette.
I'm looking for someone that will bring, you know,
a little bit of fire.
I need the heat to be brought up.
Ooh la la. HE LAUGHS
I think I know how to treat a lady.
I will teach the other boys how to be a real gentleman.
HE LAUGHS
# Guess I did it again. #
Are you good? I'm fine, thanks.
What do you think of the girls we have here?
They are very beautiful. Yeah.
HE CHUCKLES
Well, before we go any further,
we are gonna meet our final Islander...
Tyrique!
# Faith, I believe in you... #
Tyrique, this is Mehdi.
Hey, nice to meet you. Nice to meet you, bro.
You good, yeah? Good, thanks.
So, Tyrique, how are you doing? I'm good, thank you.
You feeling all right? I feel good, man, yeah.
My name's Tyrique.
I'm 24, and I'm a semi-pro footballer from Essex.
I'm a Number 9. I'm the main guy.
I'm the one who gets the goals, I'm the one who pulls.
# I believe in you... #
You could say I'm a player on and off the pitch, you know?
Flirting is something that comes second nature to me.
It is one of my hobbies.
I have been single my whole life.
I've never had a girlfriend. I am inclined to get bored.
I chase them.
You know, I've done everything to get them,
and then, once I've gotten them, it's like, "What's the next chase?
"What's the next best thing?"
# So, hey... #
My mum's always on me, you know?
She's always saying,
"When are you gonna bring someone home?"
That's what I'm trying to do, man,
I'm trying to make my mum happy and just... leave the game.
I have a lightning bolt tattooed on my left ear.
It obviously symbolises strength in my left ear
because in my right one, I can't hear, I was born deaf in it.
So I have no hearing in my right ear,
so don't talk to me, talk to the bolt.
Now I'm planning for a girlfriend,
my first girlfriend, and hopefully, my last girlfriend.
It's that time, man.
# Where all the dreams Come true... #
Now, boys, I bet you're wondering, "What's going on right now?"
Yeah, I was asking myself.
Well, the public have been playing Cupid.
OK. ..and they've matched up Jess and George,
Catherine and Andre and Molly and Mitchel.
We also have two beautiful single girls, Ella and Ruchee,
who are waiting to find out
which of you the public have chosen to couple up with them.
You ready to find out?
I am. Let's do this, yeah.
Mehdi, the girl that the public has chosen
for you to couple up with is...
# Telling myself that You're not on my mind... #
..Ruchee!
RUCHEE CHUCKLES, APPLAUSE
Hi. Hi.
Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you.
Which means, Tyrique, you have been coupled up with Ella.
APPLAUSE
Hey, you all right? Hi.
So we now have our final two couples,
Ruchee and Mehdi, and Ella and Tyrique.
Ruchee, you happy with the public's decision?
Yeah, I'm happy. Yeah? You look cute!
Thanks. Thanks.
Mehdi, first impressions? She's very cute. Yeah.
Mwah! How do you say in French?
Ooh la la. Ooh la la.
And, Tyrique, did the public get it right?
I think so, yeah. She looks nice, man.
She looks lovely. LAUGHTER
Ella, you feeling him?
Yeah. Don't reveal too much.
Cheers. LAUGHTER
So that is it. We now have our five gorgeous couples.
.
# You have made me Feel like heaven... #
You'll all spend the summer getting to know each other, living together,
sharing a bed together, all in this amazing villa.
Hanging out in the sun with sexy people,
it sounds all right, doesn't it?
LAUGHTER
Not too bad. Not too bad? Yeah, yeah.
But don't forget, in eight weeks' time,
the public will choose one couple
to be crowned winners of Love Island and take home a massive £50,000.
Will your heads be turned or will you stay loyal from day one?
I think it's fair to say, on Love Island,
you should 100% expect the unexpected.
Good luck, my loves, I will see you very soon.
Thank you. Thank you.
Bye! See you later.
Enjoy. See you. Bye!
THEY GREET EACH OTHER
Hello, what's you name? Jess.
Jess. Catherine. Yeah. Hi!
Shall we have a catch up? What you saying, bro?
Tyrique. Nice to meet you.
George, man.
What you saying, my G? What you saying, my bro?
IAIN STIRLING: Our couples have just been chosen
by the great British public,
and given our most elections have gone recently,
I'm just grateful you didn't pair Ella with a toothbrush.
Oh, my God, I am so excited to meet all you guys.
Youse all look beautiful.
It's been crazy. How are you feeling about our couples? I'm happy.
Like, I don't know, like, obviously, we don't know them.
Yeah. I mean, as soon as I walked in,
Mitchel took mine, and I was like, "Ah!"
Really? Molly and Mitch, like, M&M!
I know! It just works.
And I fall really quick as well... Do you?
I do as well.
I'm, and I was like... SHE PANTS
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm buzzing.
Like, is she your type on paper, then?
Yeah. Molly is, for sure. The energy, straightaway.
Like, as soon as she walked in here,
she was, like, laughing and smiling.
I thought, "I'm gonna get on with her really well."
Obviously, red bikini, red shorts, d'you know what I mean?
It's written in the stars.
Do yourself a favour and just stay in your lane.
Don't come into mine. LAUGHTER
Yeah, well, what about you, bro?
I really like her. I like a brunette. Oh, fair play.
With a fiery personality. I hope she'll have it.
So how are you feeling, Ruchee?
GRITTED TEETH: Not usually my type.
Yeah, I get the vibe that you're not too happy.
Yeah, not usually my type,
but I'm just gonna be, like, open-minded.
We'll find out. Yeah, exactly.
So, who's your type, would you say?
You know what, I'm actually happy.
I'd actually go for him on the outside. Would you? OK.
I feel I would.
Speechless, bro. Like, yeah, she's...
LAUGHTER
Yeah, no, she's very pretty, yeah. She's very pretty.
She's got goodbye to her. A good bum-bum as well.
LAUGHTER
I quite like. And yourself, bro?
She's my type. 100%, man, like.
All the girls seem lovely, though. Yeah. They seem cool.
Like, first impressions, sound, yeah.
What about you?
Erm... I've met him before. Oh, really?! Yeah.
OK!
Physically, I'm like, yeah,
he's good looking and he's my type,
but I've already met him. Why? Where?
Out in London. Yeah.
I'm not being funny,
but he's actually pretending he doesn't remember.
I'm like, there's no way you don't remember.
SHE CHUCKLES
What about you?
He's all right, but he's not usually what I'd go... Really?!
You guys all pick, like...
No. I know, no.
OK. Don't get me wrong, like, he's a cheeky chappie and that.
Yeah. But...
So what would you go for?
A bad boy. Bad boy? Yeah.
Who's your type? I think I can guess.
Mitchel is my type, yeah. OK.
But Tyrique, he's got, like, a bit of a pretty boy face.
He's fit, yeah. Yeah, he's fit.
George?
You are yeah, I mean, you know, obviously, like,
straight off the bat, mate, like, looks-wise,
d'you know what I mean, like, bit of me. Like...
Blondes, yeah?
If I was out, I'd definitely be moving loose,
d'you know what I mean?
LAUGHTER
Just dropping loose game.
You like moving loose, yeah? Come on, mate.
Just call me WD-40, mate.
LAUGHTER
That's such a dad joke. I'm full of 'em, mate.
Shall we go over and join them?
Yeah. Let's go.
ALL GROAN
Oh, here they come!
Spread out so they can't sit down. Spread out!
LAUGHTER
Who's this good-looking bunch coming over, then?
LAUGHTER
Oh, hi, guys!
Hello. How's everyone doing?
How's it going?
What were you guys talking about us?
SHE LAUGHS
Yeah, d'you know what I mean?
All our ears are burning!
LAUGHTER
Oh, my goodness! We've got matching tattoos!
Shit, that's crazy. Same here, as well.
Left one, yeah?
Whoo! What the fuck?
No way!
LAUGHTER
Does yours mean anything?
Yeah, there's a little meaning behind it, yeah.
Pinterest quotes, I couldn't tell you what it is.
LAUGHTER
Nice. What about yours?
Yeah, no, it means...
Obviously, I got it behind this ear
because I'm actually born deaf in this ear.
Oh! Is it, bro?
Yeah. Really?
It's never really affected me. That's all right.
Love it. Mate, that's mad.
That's your electric ear. Yeah, that's my good one, you know?
Yeah! Oh, my goodness.
It's not a sympathy thing. It don't affect me.
LAUGHTER
More meaning than mine. That's amazing.
IAIN: The Islanders are heading off to explore the villa
for the very first time.
I say first time,
I actually showed Tyrique round last week,
he's got no recollection of it whatsoever.
ALL EXCLAIM
It is so surreal that I'm actually here now.
I don't even know what to say.
Oh, my God! This is a vibe.
Sleep like this. Just so you know.
Put your hand there. Just like that.
You'll be like this... HE IMITATES SNORING
SHE IMITATES SNORING, THEY LAUGH
Every morning, I can check myself!
HE LAUGHS
Oh, and I'll be here! I'll just be like, "Ah, yeah."
Checking me out while I'm checking myself out.
How are you, George? You all right?
Yeah, I'm all right, thank you, Jess.
I'm living the dream, d'you know what I mean?
So... excited to be here. Good. Yeah.
It's mad, innit? It's like...
It's beautiful round here, though, innit?
Literally, imagine if this was your gaff.
Imagine if this was your little Dean Gaffney,
d'you know what I mean? I know.
Wait, will you just check and see if you can see me when I'm in here?
Yeah, go on.
Wait, so, if you're just showering, I'm gonna walk over, like...
Oh, my God!
Damn, oh!
Ahh!
LAUGHTER
That's what I'm talking about!
The public have done a really good job.
Molly is my type to a T.
Her energy as well, it's unreal.
I just wanna get to know her now.
MOLLY GASPS
Beautiful! OK!
Oh, my God, my favourite place! Oh, I love it!
My favourite place.
Oh, my gosh! Yo!
This is nice!
JESS LAUGHS
You good, bro?
You've fallen out with her already?
LAUGHTER
I knew that were coming, bro!
We'll head on down. See you in a bit.
Who wants to sit down on this...
See you in a bit. I wanna see.
So, what's your usual type, then?
I feel like, you know, I just want someone with, sort of, good morals,
really.
I just want someone with good energy about them,
like, if they can match my banter, sort of thing. Yeah.
I mean, obviously, a tan, obviously, it's nice, you know what I mean,
like a tan. Nice eyes, nice teeth. Yeah.
I mean, apart from that, real Gucci, basically, like.
What about you, like, what's your cup of tea?
I like a bad boy.
OK, OK. Yeah.
But that's where I'm going wrong, clearly, you know what I mean?
This is... Yeah, yeah, I'm with you.
So, I need to kind of go and speak to everyone to see,
you know what I mean?
I'm not just a first person, first meet...
Of course.
Because I feel like, sometimes that's just throwing it
in the deep end, like, I do like to proper get to know people.
I agree. Completely agree.
What was your, like, thoughts walking in?
Like, was it directly...
It went like...
When I walked in, my eyes were set on you.
OK.
Cos I just love... I don't know, I love...
Chocolate men.
Yeah, chocolate men.
You love the chocolate! Skinny guys!
LAUGHTER
I'm here for it, I'm here for it!
Tall. And then when you were tall, I was like, OK, cool.
Yeah, I like that.
And I'm happy it's not, like, awkward between us, you know?
Yeah, yeah, definitely. Like, just to talk.
Like I feel like I've known you for ages.
For ages, innit?
And I only met you an hour ago or something.
Yeah, it's the charm, it's the charm of being a gentleman!
It's amazing, it's good.
Like, there's a lot of green flags right now.
And I'm hoping, very much so hoping that it's not, like,
too good to be true.
IAIN: Ella's excited about having her third conversation with Tyrique.
While Tyrique's excited about
meeting Ella for the very first time.
Have you ever really been, like, seeing a girl to the point
where it's, like, "Oh, we're not speaking to anyone else?"
Like, you must have?
Yeah, no, a couple of times I have, yeah.
But I feel like I kind of got scared at the last stage,
do you know what I mean? Oh, really?
You're, like, afraid of commitment?
You could say that, yeah, so, it's quite short, yeah.
Oh, wow.
But you said, when we started our day,
you said that we'd met each other before.
I feel like you're literally pretending you don't remember.
I swear to God, I don't remember.
That just shows me, like, how many girls that you meet!
Where did you...
LAUGHTER
No, no, where did you meet me?
Because as soon as I saw you, I, like, recognised you.
You know what, now that you have...
When she did say that...
But I had blonde hair.
Yeah, your face did look a bit familiar.
Oh, my days!
Yeah, I do remember you! I do remember you.
Yeah, you looked mad different then. You look nicer now.
Obviously, you looked nice then, but you look very nice now.
Thank you.
The thing with Ella is, she had different hair then,
so I genuinely didn't recognise her!
What do you call people from Glasgow again?
Glasgowegian?
LAUGHTER
No! What do you call it?
Glaswegians! Glaswegians, yeah.
Glasgowegians! That's a remix.
That's long. Yeah.
IAIN: Mehdi's whisked Ruchee off for a chat.
Mehdi actually works for a railway company.
I'm mentioning that early
because it's a lot cheaper when you do it in advance.
Have a seat.
Ahh.
So... This is exciting.
It is, yeah. How are you feeling?
I'm feeling great.
Yeah? Yeah.
Good.
LAUGHTER
It's so weird, being here, but... It is, yeah. Yeah.
'Ruchee would be my type on paper.
'She's very cute, very beautiful.'
I like brunette girls with, like, brown eyes.
So, yeah, I'm very happy to be coupled up with her.
I like ambitious girls, a strong personality.
Yeah.
I like somebody who is not scared to go against me. Yeah.
So, yeah, that would be my type. Yeah.
And you? Yeah, someone who puts me in my place as well.
Oh, you like that? Yeah!
LAUGHTER
"Oh, you like that?!"
Yeah, like, cos I feel like I would just walk all over you otherwise,
you know what I mean?
Yeah, I feel like, for me, mannerism, how you carry yourself,
it's quite important.
Yeah, same for me, I forgot to mention that.
Mehdi is not usually, like, the type that I would go for.
But now that I've obviously had more conversation with him,
I feel like he's kind of grown on me, so, let's see.
IAIN STIRLING: Molly's coupled up with Mitchel.
Molly's an accomplished actress and she's actually just landed
a major role, playing the second biggest city in South Yorkshire.
And, action...
Yeah, I'm Doncaster, where are you?
I'm literally, like, down the motorway in Sheffield.
Sheffield!
How close is that, like... It's, like, 20 minutes away!
It's like... Innit? Oh, my goodness.
The public have done good.
What do you think to the other couples?
I think we're gonna be smashing it!
Us? Yeah.
I think we're doing good.
What is your type?
Is it, like, blonde, or are you quite open?
So, I'm really, really picky.
So, for starters, the name has got to be Molly!
Shut up!
LAUGHTER
Go on, what's your type?
I love someone who's cheeky.
You are so cheeky! Yeah.
And I got that, like, pretty much straight away.
I don't know if it's, like, an eye, or like, a face,
you did something and I was like, "yeah, he's cheeky".
I am so happy I'm coupled up with Mitchel.
I really like his personality.
Straightaway, I saw that he was a cheeky guy,
and that is the main thing I look for.
And he's also very good-looking, so I'm very happy.
So, do you work out, then?
You do, don't you?
Clearly!
Duh!
Yeah, well, I...
"No, I do nothing!"
GASPING: The beach is, oof, that way...
LAUGHTER
Yeah, I do work out, 3-4 times a week.
But obviously, you go to the gym, don't you?
Yeah.
I mean, I try and go as much as I can.
I'm not strict on myself.
Like, if I wake up one day and I'm like, you know what,
I'm gonna have a little quiet morning, I'm gonna have tea
and biscuits and I'll get some work done, then that's what I'll do.
How do you have your tea?
One sugar, a bit of milk...
I'm gonna make you the best cup of tea in the...
Gorgeous colour, like you!
LAUGHTER
# Do you remember us
# Blue and gold, 16, teenage dream
# Not doing what we're told... #
IAIN: For our Islanders,
it's been a day they'll never forget, except for Tyrique,
who's just introduced himself to Ella for the second time.
You don't snore, do you? No. Thank God.
# I left it all behind.. #
Wow! Oh, my God.
Oh, wow, I love it. This is cute.
Our clothes are here.
If there is anything purple in there, hold it, please.
# You make me feel 16 again... #
I'm excited for tonight.
Course you are. You're gonna get a smooch.
No, I'm not! No, I am not.
Not on the first night. Maybe tomorrow.
Does anyone fancy George?
SHE LAUGHS Why? Why?
No, I'm just asking.
No, I think he's attractive.
My make-up's just not make-upping.
# You make me feel 16 again... #
Always before I go out, I always have to brush my teeth, innit?
Don't want no grotty breath, bro, especially when I'm trying to move.
Mm. I feel like a raccoon, bro.
# You make me feel... #
How are you feeling about Molly, bro?
Good connection already.
Yeah, I'm not trying to rush that too soon. Nah, bro.
# One hell of a ride
# Ain't it funny how I thought
# I left it all behind? #
Is everyone a lip gloss vibe?
I was gonna do mine in case kissing games come to light.
Ah! Oh, my God.
# You make me feel 16 again... #
Cheers to fit, flirty, and sexy humans.
THEY LAUGH
# You take me there. #
# Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
# Hey
# Oh, I just can't deny You make me freaky
# You're making me freaky
# Lifting me up, ooh
# Higher than I've ever been
# And I cannot forget you, baby
# Freaky, lifting me up... #
IAIN: Now they've slow danced with a load of strangers
in the middle of a big house, it's time for the Islanders
to kick back and enjoy their evening.
What colour trunks are you wearing tomorrow?
I've got some, like...
I've got every single colour.
Oh, my God. Yeah, everything.
We'll say a colour at the same time. Ready?
I looked at you, and I thought something else.
What did you think?
The first thing I was going to say was blue, baby blue.
Then you looked at me, and I thought a pink.
It was almost pink. A shade of pink.
White. Shall we do white?
We'll do white. Yeah.
Don't tell anyone. No, not a chance.
This stays between me and you. Yeah.
Every day, we're just like, "Oh, my God..."
Every day, we'll just be like, "Oh, my God, how did this happen?"
Literally. We are so, like, in sync.
IAIN: Catherine's getting to know Tyrique.
It's always tough to make a good first impression.
Luckily with Tyrique, you get several goes.
How are you?
Yeah, I'm good, man, I'm good. Yourself?
I'm good. Nice to finally meet everyone.
I think everyone is cool. Yeah. There's good vibes, innit?
Everyone's got decent energy, so... Yeah.
Tomorrow, we'll see properly, man.
How are you feeling in your couple, though?
Good. Like, I can't complain.
Andre's nice. Yeah, he's a nice lad.
He's lovely. Yeah, he is lovely. Easy to talk to as well. Yeah.
Seems pretty laid-back, man. Yeah, he is.
But you are laid-back as well. Do you think?
I think you are. Maybe. Sometimes.
I think you gave that, like, bad boy look.
You give cool, collected... No, I'm far from...
"I'm better in you life." No, no.
People just look at me and think that,
but I'm not trying to ruin anyone's life.
Obviously, the public put everyone together.
If it was down to you, would you have picked Andre?
Oh, you're putting me on the spot here.
Your accent's sexy still. I like the way you said that.
I like people from Dublin. People from Dublin are blessed.
Have you met people from Dublin?
I know a few people from Dublin. No way! No way.
Dublin's small. I'm gonna be asking you...
No, no. I know.
No need to ask.
You've got a crazy smile, you know. Teeth are crazy.
Oh, thank you. Thank you. But, yeah, I...
I forgot what I was saying.
Are you saying that compliment just threw you off?
Yeah, you did. You did a lot with that.
To be honest with you, I am going to speak
to every single last one of them.
Tyrique's nice. He gives a bit of a bad boy vibe,
which, do I want to explore that? I don't know.
Hopefully, Andre doesn't hold me too close.
But, yeah, I cannot actually wait to just get stuck in.
IAIN: Mitch, Jess and Ruchee are having a chat.
Ruchee was expecting to be joined by railwayman Mehdi,
but Andre is coming instead. He must be a replacement service.
Is it all right if I bother you? Come on.
Jump in, son. "Jump in, son?" I'm here.
What is going through your head? You happy?
Yeah, I'm happy. Connection's there, obviously.
How are you feeling, Dre? What is going through your head?
Any girls that tickle your boxes? Yeah, tell us about...
Yeah, Catherine's... She is a real vibe, to be honest.
I really like her qualities. Her personality is amazing.
So, yeah, I'm just trying to see where it goes.
Very, very fit. Very, very fit, man.
Yeah, she's gorgeous, man.
Yeah, very, very fit, so...
What about you, Mitch? Anyone else?
Yeah. You two are really pretty.
Aw! Aw! Thank you.
I mean, we look like a family. That's weird.
What the fuck am I on about? Ah.
No, like, we're the OG family.
You look at me as a sister? What you on about?
Yeah, I've got a good connection with Molly, and it's...
As good of a connection as it is, it's the first day.
I want to get to know people as well. Yeah, 100%.
Yeah.
Obviously, first day and all that, like, taking my time,
but I'm a bit old-fashioned.
I think I want to get to know Molly and just focus on her.
I don't think my head will be turned at all.
IAIN: Mehdi's joining Ella, and eagle-eyed nursery rhyme fans
will notice there is about to be...
# Four white bottles Sitting on the bed
Sitting next to Med. #
What is your type?
My type? I would say, like, looks-wise,
tall, tanned, nice teeth. What about you?
Looks-wise, to be honest, I just go for dark-haired, dark eyes.
No blondes.
I'm not into blondes, you know. Really?
Yeah. If there's the connection, I'll go for it,
but to me, it's more about, like, personality.
Do you know what? Your voice sounds kind of like my ex's.
Is that a compliment? Or no?
It's not a bad thing, but it's not, like, anything.
You're coupled up with... Ruchee.
So, are you happy about...?
Who would you have chose if you just came in and you got to choose,
and the public didn't choose?
You or Ruchee. Yeah.
OK. So you're happy with Ruchee? Yeah.
I mean, I'm happy with Ruchee.
As I said to you, it comes down to the personality.
Yeah, do you feel like you guys have that vibe?
We could. But we don't. Yeah, potential. You don't?
Not now. Yeah. It's day one. Give it time.
And you, with Tyrique? Yeah, he's physically my type.
Yeah. Physically, he looks like my ex.
He looks like my ex, you sound like him.
But it's early days.
# I'm looking for big, big love... #
IAIN: To help break the ice,
the Islanders are having a game of alcohol-free beer pong.
Come on, Jess.
Coincidentally, beer pong is what I call the smell of my toilet
the morning after a date with Miss Stella Artois.
The rules are simple.
For every ball a player lands in the cup of their opponent,
their opponent has to do a dare.
Come on, son. Down the hatch!
"Snog the three Islanders you fancy the most."
# I'm looking for big, big love... #
Come here, Molly.
# I'm looking for big, big love... #
I do want to obviously get to know her a bit more,
and kiss her outside of a challenge when is just us two.
# Big, big love
# Big, big love... #
I thought Mitchel was quite good-looking
when I first came in, but that kiss was so dead!
# Big, big love. #
# I'm losing no sleep over you... #
IAIN STIRLING: The Islanders
are still playing alcohol-free beer pong.
Alcohol-free beer stops you feeling embarrassed
about your actions the next day...
by making you embarrassed about your actions straightaway.
CHEERING The game is the game.
Yeah. The game is the game. It is.
READS:Name the Islander who you see as your biggest competition.
ALL:Ooh!
I'm gonna have to say Andre. Oh! I'll say!
I kind of understand where he's coming from,
but, yeah, we'll just see how it goes,
and of course, as the saying goes, "May the best man win."
Oh!
Oh-ho-ho! Jesus. Fair play.
READS: Snog an Islander who you think is boyfriend material.
LAUGHTER
Erm, Mitch. LAUGHTER
OK! Come on, bro. OK.
I kissed Mitchel in the challenge,
but he seems pretty closed off with Molly.

I wasn't expecting it from him.

ALL:Oh!

GIRLS:Oh!
Tyrique, give us a snog.
Don't look. THEY LAUGH
Erm...
Andre. THEY LAUGH
Come on, man.
To be honest, the kiss with Ruchee, like, I was not expecting at all.
Guys, we're in for a treat cos I don't know about you,
but I like my villas like I like my doughnuts -
with plenty of "jam-a".
Who's that? Who's that?
Hi, Islanders.
What?! What's going on?!
ELLA:What is going on?
So, who's ready for a real game of dares?
Oh, my God. What?!
# Black magic woman
# You're gonna make a devil Out of me. #
# Sinner, you better get ready... #
IAIN STIRLING: The Islanders thought they'd seen the last of Maya
for a while but they were wrong, because on this show,
it's impossible to be a "Jama Dodger".
# ..the sinner must die... #
So, how are you all doing? ALL:Good.
Confused. Shocked.
Shocked, confused... worried?
Yeah. Down a bit.
Now, I know you didn't choose your partners
because the public did that for you,
but have you enjoyed getting to know each other so far?
Yeah. JESS:Yeah.
Yeah, it was really good. Yeah, it's been nice.
Well, as you know,
in love sometimes you have to follow your heart,
which may mean taking a risk.
# Sinner, you better get ready... #
Ask yourself this...
..are you happy or could you be happier?
Well, I have the ultimate dare you.
# I am no other I am Pandora... #
Girls, if you're not sure that you're with the right person,
I dare you to step forward now.
# Nothing could hurt me No one deserves me
# I am not free I cannot be
# Every battle ends in defeat... #
# Yeah Yeah. #
Jess, why did you step forward?
I just don't feel, like, there's that connection there.
Like, he's everything that someone else could want, but just for me,
it's just not there.
George, how do you feel?
Yeah, I mean, look, it's completely fair enough.
Do you know what I mean?
Like, you can't help going with your gut,
do you know what I mean?
So... fair game.
No hard feelings? No hard feelings at all.
Ruchee, why did you step forward?
Like, obviously we vibed and things like that,
but I feel like, just... chemistry is missing, maybe.
But I just feel like I'm just not, like, you know, attracted like that.
Mehdi, were you expecting Ruchee to step forward?
Yeah, definitely.
We didn't really match, so... I did expect that.
Wow. Things are about to get interesting.
Islanders, please welcome Zachariah.
# Yo, I'm unstoppable
# I'm unbreakable I'm unshakeable... #
I'm Zach, 25 years old from south-east London.
Currently a personal trainer. Definitely helps with the women.
I reckon a couple of heads are gonna turn when I go into the villa.
I feel like I'll be in a bit of drama
cos it just seems to follow me around.
Played the field a little bit,
now I'm officially ready to settle down and find my queen.
# Sweet dreams are made of this
# Who am I to disagree... #
Hello. Hello.
So, Zachariah, welcome to the Love Island villa.
Thank you. Do you like what you see?
I do, man. I do, I do. Yeah?
I do.
So, just before you came in,
I dared the girls to step forward
if they weren't sure they were with the right person.
OK.
And, as you can see, Jess and Ruchee both took a risk.
So, you can kind of tell who might be open to getting to know you.
Well, Zachariah, in 24 hours, the power will be in your hands.
OK. You'll get to steal any one of these girls in front of you.
Not just the girls who have stepped forward.
And that will leave one boy single and vulnerable.
I will see you all very soon. Bye-bye.
# Sweet dreams, sweet dreams
# Sweet dreams. #
