IAIN STIRLING: Previously on Love Island...
# Let's get down Let's get down to business...
CHEERING
A kiss...
Put the cat amongst the pigeons.
I'm done with this situation.
CHEERING
# Let's get down Let's get down to business...
Do you find Zach attractive? Very attractive.
I think Molly's a dark horse. She is loving the attention.
What you've done was very disrespectful.
I'm not gonna say sorry. You're what?
Selfish as it sounds, I was thinking about myself.
# Let's get down to business. #
DRAMATIC MUSIC
Tonight...
I'm not interested in talking to you, son.
Don't sit down near me, bro.
What are you on about?
Well, you're a snake.
The fallout continues.
Is everyone just a doughnut, or is it just me, bro?
Am I the only one from the real world, bro?
And some dishy dates...
OK, so you're definitely open? Yeah, 100%.
..set pulses racing.
What's your type? I would say you.
Actual, shut up.
I wouldn't say I'm fully closed off, you know, it's been a week.
IAIN STIRLING: Right, quick catchup.
Zach's with Catherine but fancies Molly.
Molly s with Mitch but fancies Zach.
Andre's with Ruchee but fancies Catherine.
And
Tyrique's with Ella... but fancies Tyrique.
Got it? Great.
And after that challenge,
Mitch fancies hearing what Molly s got to say for herself.
MUSIC
I didn't expect that to happen in the challenge.
Did you not? No.
We talk and, like, obviously, there's a little something there,
that's why we want to keep speaking to each other.
Hm. But nothing to think that he'd actually do that.
I didn't realise how serious he was.
Really? Like, that's... Yeah.
Honestly, I believe what we've got is more powerful
than what you and Zach will ever have.

it's better than the
No, I'm good, I'm good, I'm good.
No, I just want you to... To, like open up with how I'm feeling.
Of course, we're doing our thing, but the door was kind of open.
Like, I'm not jumping boats, let me just make that clear,
I'm not jumping boats,
but I'm open to getting to know Catherine a bit more as well.
No, I'd rather you say it, like, how it is, you know what I mean?
Yeah, 100%. But it's a bit of a sticky one,
because we've kind of like invested time and emotion into this.
And it's kind of like a disservice to want to consider someone else.
I feel that I owe it to you with the utmost respect to just let you know.
He was obviously coupled up with her before,
so that's why we are in here, like, to get different people.
IAIN: After that challenge,
Sammy wants everything in his relationship with Jess
to be wide open - her feelings, her heart, his legs.
You're a decent kisser. Am I? So are you.
Felt quite natural. None of that teeth buttons going in.
That's horrible, isn't it? I thought was gonna because of Molly.
You knew that isn't it? You were gonna. No, I wasn't.
I couldn't
I couldn't give
I couldn't give a
I couldn't give a shit.
Yeah, you could. Shut up.
Promise me you didn't give a shit. I did not give a shirt.
What, when I was handing her that, you didn't even care? No.Shut up!
Such a liar. What, did you have a fault, then?What?
Did you have a fault withHave a fault?
You was gonna give it to her, and then... Or was it...? Liar.
It would be real maybe if it was yesterday, when I was close to her,
but...
Since last night, this morning, I thought, I was closer to you.
Do you?Yeah. Oh, that's nice. You just need to open up a bit more.
Why? It's been a day. What do you want me to tell you?
No, I'm not saying tell you tell me you love me, but... Don't know.
Our chat was just really chilled.
Like, I am not a serious person,
I can't sit and have serious conversation.
Like, it's just not in me.
I've been playing it cool,
but maybe I'll let my hair down a little bit more now.
IAIN: Tyrique wants a quick word with Ella
- to be fair,
the way Tyrique speaks, every word is pretty bloody quick,
so
this'll be over in seconds.
Take a seat. So serious. Am I in trouble? No.
I just thought I'd chat to you,
as I
as I thought
as I thought our
as I thought our whole
as I thought our whole thing
is

is based on
openness.
What are you looking so scared for? While you talking all serious?
No, I can't just laugh and joke or my way through life.
I can have a serious conversation as well. I am just curious.
Get to
Get to the
Get to the point,
Get to the point, I
Get to the point, I want
Get to the point, I want to
Get to the point, I want to know
what
what this
what this is
what this is all
what this is all about.
You are looking petrified.
No, obviously, I thought recently that I love the pace
we are going at.
There is nothing more I can ask from you, do you know what I mean?
My whole life, I have never been like a one-woman man, like, ever,
so I think feelings are scary, and I'm just scared.
That's what it is, like. Sometimes, I'll even try and look for things.
I'll try look for red flags or anything I can find on you,
just to run away, but, like, you literally give me nothing.
I haven't got a bad word to say about you.
I'm a slave, basically, you know, like.
I feel like I need someone to, in. I feel like I need that.
I feel
I feel like
I feel like I

I feel like I need
someone to come in.
I feel like I need that. I owe it to myself.
I want to explore a new connection, do you know what I mean?
While still keeping our thing. Cos I need to compare.
I can't just have one.
You started off so well.
Yeah, I've got to hit you with the rule.
Took a turn. Took a quick turn.
HE GIGGLES
Can we go back to what you were saying before?
No, I've got to give you the good and the bad.
OK, go on.
Life is not just candyfloss and yoga. I wish it was, but it ain't.
It is in my world.
Do you
Do you know
Do you know when
Do you know when he
Do you know when he spoke
Do you know when he spoke to
Do you know when he spoke to me
tonight,
he was just speaking so many good things.
And I was like, oh.
And then, you know, he came with a "but".
But I need a bombshell to come in, so I can test myself
and compare her to you.
I'm just tired of guys saying they need these tests.
I feel like it is an excuse in here. You don't need any tests.
When you know, you know.
IAIN STIRLING: In the challenge,
Zach kissed Molly instead of Catherine.
My mum always says action speaks louder than words.
Although she also thinks IQ is a line outside an opticians.
I take everything she says with a pinch of salt.
It was very disrespectful. Do you get what I'm saying?
Mm-hm. And I don't like being disrespected.
You know what I'm saying?
100%. I feel like my emotions right now,
I'm not waiting around till you grow.
Mm. I'm here to find love. I'm not here to play games.
I pulled Ruchee for a chat.
What did you say?
I said to her that it is starting... HE MUMBLES
At the same time as getting to know Ruchee.
So I'm also wanting to explore...
Your options. My options.
Option, that I kind of thought of as untapped potential.
I know you care for me.
You know what I'm saying? This is why I come to you.
I do know you care for me.
And don't get twisted, it's not as if I don't care for you.
You were the first guy I was coupled up with.
It is because I didn't want to go for something typical.
Is that the same mentality you've got right now?
Obviously not. You know what I'm saying? Obviously not.
Maybe sticking to what I know is what's best for me.
It's just hard, you know what I'm saying?
I know.
It's definitely hard, like.
I'm just not that person.
# From the cold coffee Left in the cup
# These days are going To fall apart... #
I've actually developed a lot of friendships.
And, like, obviously, weird I see people happy,
And, like,
And, like, obviously,
where
where I
where I see
where I see people
where I see people happy,
where I see people
I don't want to be the one to make them sad.
I don't want them to feel shit about themselves.
You get what I'm saying, like?
I just need to breathe, like.
I just need to breathe.
You
You all
You all right?
Yeah.
You all right?
Do you what, yeah, obviously I don't want to give him that reaction
because, at the end of the day, like, you're in here for yourself.
I want him to get to know other people.
But I do think the timing is a bit off.
And the thing is, do you know what it is?
If there was a new person that came in
and he wanted to get to know them, that would be a different situation.
Do you reckon he used you? Yeah. That's how I feel right now.
Because why have you not said this to me before?
Just not fair at all.
I just find it a bit disgusting, how he's acted towards me.
Like, he basically led me on.
Now you're telling me you want to get to know Catherine.
I don't know if there's any coming back from that.
IAIN: At school, Zach loved footballsy, netballsy,
softballsy and basketballsy. Why was that, Molly?
You were ballsy. So ballsy.
A little.
Do you regret it? Nah. I wouldn't say I regret it.
I can't believe it. I know, innit?
You've noticed, I'm not in here for an easy game.
I'm the sort of person to take risks.
I'm not afraid to do that. Mm.
I know, I can see. You shocked me, though.
Yeah? You proper shocked me.
I was like, shit, he means it. This is serious.
Like, he actually means what he said. Mm.
Like, those actions were that big.
Was that a good thing to do, then?
Well, it was. It's opened my eyes, yeah.
I was like, shit, he means it.
So, yeah. It was.
I'm not scared to go for what I want. Yeah?
I'm doing what I feel is right. Mm. And you did it.
Mm. I'm glad I did. So, no regrets.
Fucking hell, though. What a day.
IAIN: When Mitch saw Zach cracking on to Molly,
he told me he wasn't going to stand for it, and he's not.
He's going to lie down for it.
It's just comfier getting mugged off that way.
I think the fact that their conversation was that long,
that's disrespectful, and it has made me angry.
I don't trust her as far as I can throw her. Yeah.
Mitch, you deserve better than that.
She's... She's mugging you off in broad daylight. Yeah.
I just feel like I can sense something that could be good.
Yeah. Completely.
Yeah. And that's why we both want to keep speaking to each other.
Cos we want to see that. Which is why we both said that.
Yeah. I agree, I agree with you.
There is a different energy with Zach that...
it has made me realise that there is more there.
I just want to tell Molly that she can have him.
He can have her.
WHISPERING:Now they're gonna start cooking together.
That's, honestly... If they do, done.
Trust me.
She was secretly buzzing at that kiss.
She was loving it. I know she was.
I really, really want to say something.
Jess, maybe you should.
Wait, wait, wait. Let's walk together.
Just calm down, OK?
Shall I walk over with you? I'm gonna dip over there.
I'm gonna nip to the toilet, you do your thing.
Me and Mol had a great chat,
and then she decided to spend the rest of the night with Zach.
How did your chat go?
Good, thank you. I think you need to talk to Mitch
cos I think it looks a bit disrespectful, if I'm being honest.
OK, where is he? On both of your parts, not gonna lie.
After today, I think sitting there for two hours
is taking the piss little bit. OK, where is he?
I don't know, he's over there, but I think both of you need to kind of...
I'll go speak to him. Thank you, though, Jess.
Sat there for two hours. I fucking saw.
Fucking disrespectful.
What?
I don't wanna talk to you. OK.
Fucking joker.
You all right?
Yeah, sorry, I'm just in a pissed off mood.
It's all right.
I think everything's gone on today,
I think so many people are upset. Thanks for telling me, though.
Cos I went over and tried and it... He didn't want to speak to me.
It is what it is.
Just to make you aware, I just think, on both ends, I think...
So, what looked bad, tell me?
It's been hours... It's been hours.
It hasn't felt like that.
Already this shows me a lot.
What? This.
From having a long conversation, we don't speak now.
Apparently it was disrespectful to talk to Zach
for apparently a long time.
Is everything good, bro?
I'm not interested in talking to you, son, so don't attempt it, bro.
Don't sit down near me, bro. What are you on about?
You've been stuck to her all night. What the fuck does that even mean?
Bro, I don't wanna talk to you, at all. So, leave it.
Fucking hell.
Everyone's a fucking weirdo in this place, man.
You're a joker, bro.
No respect for your boys.
What is the guy on about?
I've had four conversations with the girl.
Just chill out...
I don't give a fuck, bro.
You are a snake.
He's lost his fucking marbles, bro. He's a doughnut.
I get it, but why are you mad at Zach, though?
Do you know what it was?
I'm gonna chat... I'm gonna get to know Molly,
regardless of how good mates we've been from the start.
That's why he's a snake.
Look, I'm pursuing something I think it's right, but it's like,
I let everyone know, I said, "I'm gonna talk to Molly today".
I've gone out of my way to show the girl I like her.
It's not like I've hidden anything from nobody.
Is everyone just a doughnut or is it just me, bro?
Am I the only one from the real world, bro?
Like, everyone else is an idiot? Does no-one know what we're at, bro?
Yeah, we're meant to make friends, yeah, it's good that, like,
we are building shit with bros - we're also here to find love, bro.
It's more Molly that I'd be pissed off with.
He's chatted to the girl that I'm coupled up with,
that I think I've got a great connection with,
and you're mugging me off, and everyone says,
yeah, Zach's still my boy, Zach's still my boy.
Is he fuck! It's a joke, man.
Oh, Mitch, man.
My head's spinning.
IAIN: OK, things are getting a bit heated in there,
but just as long as we can keep Mitch and Zach apart
until things cool down, everything should be...
Oh.
You are a fucking clown, bro.
Bro, you have no respect for anyone but yourself.
You've got small dick energy.
Your a clown, bro.
You're a dickhead.
People's feelings are really hurt.
Mm.Catherine was, like, nearly crying. Mitch is upset.
Like, oh, my God, like.
Anyway, I really liked my outfit tonight!
Fucking hell, Jess!
MUSIC PLAYS
Ruchee told me that you're done?
Pretty much, yeah.
Right, tonight's been mad, bro, what the fuck?!
I just wanted to let you know, I'm gonna be sleeping in here.
Have a good night, yeah?
I'm never going to a denim party ever again!
Good night, everyone! Good night.
Night night.
MUSIC: 'It Gets Better' by Martin Luke Brown
# What a beautiful day what a beautiful evening... #
IAIN STIRLING: Last night, things got pretty tense in the Villa.
My mum always said you never go to sleep on an argument.
But then she also said, if you don't blink when you sneeze,
your eyes will fall out.
I take everything she says with a pinch of salt.
Morning, Andre.
Morning. Hey, yo.
How did you sleep, Andre?
It's not the most comfy bed, but...
That's why it's called the dog house, Andre.
100%.
# It gets better
# It gets better, I know... #
Yeah. Really?Mm-hm.
# A whole lot of heartache
# What to do When every day is the same
# How do I prove it to you
# That you're not gonna lose
# And it's always OK in the end
# It's always OK in the end... #
What the fuck? What a night.
Everyone definitely felt the tension this morning.
Like, it's just not the same.
It's not. We thought we were all just besties.
I don't think we are.
The dynamic has changed.
All over one little peck.
Yeah. I feel like... It wasn't a little peck.
It was a little peck.
I feel like if you have a connection with Molly, just say,
"I have a connection."
Yeah, literally...
Stop saying to it me.
Why do they both keep downplaying it?
You've caused such uproar. Yeah, exactly.
It had better be worth it. It had better be worth it, now.
I told Mitch that I want to speak to Zach more.
I told everyone I want to speak to Zach more.
You all knew I wanted to speak to Zach more.
So, I made that very clear. And then, got in bed.
And, basically, the lights went off and he just said,
"I've decided what's going to happen.
"I'm going to let you speak to Zach
"and I don't want you to speak to me after tonight."
I don't think you've done anything wrong.
Mitch's actions, though, are putting me off more and more, and more.
Yeah. Which is making me think everything
that's happening right now is right.
How are you two? How are you, Ruch?
So, basically, he told me he wants to speak to me, yeah.
And he's like, "Oh, yeah, obviously, I want to talk to you."
And just like, "I think I'm still open to getting to know Catherine.
"I still want to explore it and things like that."
And I'm like, right.
For you to come and say that to me now, I'm not a dickhead.
When I told Ruchee, I wasn't expecting her to flip.
From that reaction, it really showed me that, like,
we were investing into something good, do you know what I mean?
And, yeah, man.
But you've liked Catherine ever since
she got taken off you a few days ago.
Mm. I don't blame you, bro.
Honestly, Ruchee's feelings are going to get hurt.
I've stirred the pot.
I threw drama in here and I feel like it all got a bit stretched out.
Definitely feel like it got a little bit drawn out of proportion.
I said that, way out of proportion.
Sometimes in life, you need to do a mad gesture
to get people's attention.
If anything, I know from that I've got Molly's attention now, bro.
IAIN STIRLING: After last night's dramas,
gas engineer Mitch wants to clear the air.
He's done a carbon monoxide test and checked the boiler.
There's no issues, so he's going to have a chat with Zach.
I apologise for name-calling, bro. I lost my head.
I don't want to call you fucking names.
I called you names then there and then, bro.
It was just me being angry.
Of course.
Bottom line, I don't want to call my boy names.
You don't have to explain yourself, bro.
It's a heated, emotional place right now.
Oh, Zach's talking to Mitch.
Yeah, I know.
How do you feel about that? Good.
Are you all right today, yeah?
I think the more things that are happening,
my head is getting clearer.
Yeah. And that's good.
Molly, you swear more towards Zach now?
The action Mitch is taking, absolutely.
I wonder what they're saying.
I want to know what they're saying.
I want commitment and effort, and stuff like that.
But obviously, you've got a 6'5" god next to me,
she's obviously going to talk to you an' all.
I still think you are about 6'4." I don't think you are 6'5".
HE CHUCKLES
I'm happy I've had the conversation with Zach now.
Deep down I wanted to.
But I'm really stubborn and I thought,
I'm not even going to make the effort unless he does first.
Mitch, do you wanna come chat?
Sure, yeah. I'll let that brew.
You can make that first if you want.
No, I'll let it brew for a bit.
Right, OK.
Shall we go to the beanbags?
I knew I shouldn't have picked the yellow one on one of the first days.
Bad luck. Yeah.
I did tell you. You did.
Well, I just didn't wanna be childish... I don't...
And not, like, avoid you, do you know what I mean?
Well, I don't get you. Yesterday... Yeah?
Your energy was unmatched, and then, we had a good chat there... Yeah.
You spoke to me for a bit and then spent the whole night with him,
and then at that point I realised, I'm not fucking with this any more,
I deserve better.
Like, you're the only woman in here who's moving like this, and it's...
That's what I find unattractive, and that's why...
What, why? Because people are interested in me?
I deserve more than sitting and waiting and watching you.
So, you genuinely expect me to just be, like, you, you, you, you, you?
No, I expect you to do what you want to do.
Yeah, and I wanna speak to Zach. Yeah, that's fine.
But I also wanna speak to you. No!
You're having your cake and eating it, absolutely not.
I hate that saying!
You just say things that
I think you act in a way that I really don't like.
I like you more than you like me.
I just deserve to not feel mugged off again.
And whether you mean to do it or not,
I feel like you're like, "This is what I wanna do",
which is, I understand...
But also, everyone's telling me I've done nothing wrong.
You've done nothing wrong, but you've still hurt my feelings.
All I'd do is look in your eyes.
That's why I'm not looking at you now.
I cannot... I just can't afford to fall back into your trap.
I know.
Well, I'm glad you spoke to me though and didn't just pie me.
I think everything with me and Mitch has come to a bit of a close,
like, we're gonna get to know people,
and that is what you're gonna do to know when someone is truly right.
IAIN: Tyrique's finally realised
Ella's got something nobody else in that villa has.
A giant personalised gulp cup with a built-in straw.
I wanna go on a date.
I know! We've not had a date.
What did you and Sammy have? Huh?
Yeah, we had a nice date.
Oh, yeah, what's the craic with you two, then?
Good. Very good. Yeah.
We even talking simultaneously, innit?
It's crazy!
Simultaneously! What does that even mean?
Talking at the same time, and that. We have the same thoughts.
We're finishing each other's sentences.
I feel like we've got the same brain, but it's my brain.
Just what's from my brain.
Right, I should say the same thing about you, you know? What?
I feel like we're very similar. I think you are, yeah.
Well, as soon as I met you, Sammy, I was like, "Jess!"
I said Jess was gonna love you.
Be honest? Are you taking it slow?
Yeah, slow and steady wins the race, innit?
You was was actually very shy with me at first.
I feel like you're more comfortable now, innit?
You still can't make eye contact, though!
Do yous make eye contact with each other?
I get excited when Ty looks in my eyes.
I do look people in the eye when I talk, yeah!
You always mention it, you always bring it up
and it makes me go all...
You've got really pretty eyes.
ALL: Aww!
Who said romance is dead, eh?
JESS GIGGLES

The tree is green. Huh?
The tree is green.
The way that you say "tree" is just...
But, yeah, OK, cool, I understand.
OK, how else do you say "tree"? Tree.
Yeah, the tree is green. OK.
Am I not saying it right?
You are. It's just the accent.
I don't have a strong accent, I don't think.
It's nice, it's nice.
I think if you go to Ireland, everyone else's accent
will be so much more stronger.
So much stronger, innit, yeah? Yeah.
In certain situations.
Sorry to intrude.
Is it all right if I speak to Catherine quickly?
Yeah, no, for sure, for sure.
Is that all right, bro? Move in there, bro.
See you in a second, bro. Yeah, no, no stress.
Oh, man. How are you doing, Catherine?
Hi, Zach, how are you? Good, man, good.
I think the other day, things were...
Everyone was a bit flared.
Yeah, I feel like I just needed a night,
emotions were very high that night. Mm.
For both of us.
I hated waking up and we're not even able to look at each other, like,
you know what I'm saying? I hate that awkwardness.
We spent how many days building a connection
for us to just be like, "Oh, yeah, right, I can't even look at you".
Honestly...
I just wanted you to own that,
like, "Yes, I do have a connection with Molly".
And that was what it was.
I definitely should've
attempted more to have that conversation with you. Yeah.
But it was like...
I definitely owed you that... Yeah.
See, like, as long as that's... I'm not one to stay on a situation.
Of course, of course. I just want to move on.
I'm truly glad we're good. Yeah. Me, too.
I think that's the main thing. Me, too.
Honestly. Come on, give me a hug.
Yeah. Next conversation, we're not talking about this.
No. Nah, nah, nah. This one's done.
Sorry, I might be a bit sweaty. Oh, no, it's fine.
HE LAUGHS
IAIN: Whitney's wondering if Mehdi could be the man
to take her straight to paradise.
Sadly not. It's a stopping service,
and the bottom four carriages end up in Stroud.
Railway humour!
What would you rate yourself out of ten? And you can't say seven.
If I have to rate myself... SHE LAUGHS
..I'd say nine.
And the point missing is me not having a girlfriend.
I could be a ten with a girlfriend.
So, like, a girlfriend adds to your vibe? Yeah.
In what sense? I don't know, it just completes the look.
HE LAUGHS
I feel like with or without a man, I'm good.
Oh, trust me, I am fine, babe.
Like, erm, I don't have any, like, lonely issues.
I love to be on my own. Yeah.
Do you?
I'm, like, on my own most of the time, anyways.
Well, I think, like, erm...
I appreciate the time we spent together. Yeah?
You know? I feel like there's banter and stuff.
Uh... But?
There's no buts.
I really appreciate the time we spent together,
and I feel like you...
You're showing your softer side more and more.
And don't lie with me, I know you have one.
SHE RETCHES
You will not fool me.
IAIN: Things are definitely on the up for Andre and Catherine,
which is why he needs that cushion.
How was the chat? Yeah, so, my chat with Zach...
I think it went well, considering the fact that someone tried it on.
Mm-hm. Yeah, so, my stance hasn't changed.
Yeah. I think it was more of a clear the air conversation.
I do want to get to know you more. Get to know who, sorry?
Get to know you. Oh, sorry, sorry.
So now we can move forward nicely. Yeah, exactly.
Smoothly, steadily. Yeah.
So, tell me about something else other than this.
Yeah, literally, uh-uh, uh-uh.
What do you like... What do you like doing?
D'you know, yeah, let's start from the very beginning.
Yeah? My name's Dre. What's your name?
THEY LAUGH
My name's Catherine. Catherine. Yes.
Where's that accent from? Where are you from?
I'm Irish. Oh, you're Irish?
Yeah. OK. And what's your ethnicity?
I am Nigerian. Oh, Nigerian! What tribe?
Yeah. What about you? What tribe?
Yoruba. Yoruba? What about you?
Yoruba demon, ah? OK. Mm.
IAIN STIRLING: The Islanders are comparing themselves to animals.
If I was an animal, I'd be a little horse,
cos if I was a little horse, they'd give me the day off.
What's everyone's favourite animal?
No, who would you be if you was an animal
is a better question.
I'd be an eagle.
I'd be a rhino cos they're fucking solid.
I would be a hippopotamus.
Wait, how do you say... How do you say rhinoceros?
Rhinoceros. Rhinoceros.
Rhinoceros, innit?
But no, it's rhino, you plant pot. What is a rhinoceros?
Rhino. Ain't that dinosaur, what's going on?
JESS:No, a rhino... TEXT ALERT

# Baby, I'm so into you
# Darling, if you only knew... #
IAIN STIRLING: Two bombshells are on their way
and they've each chosen three boys to cook for them.
So whatever happens, the OG girls
and the bombshells will be left with a bad taste in their mouths.
I'm excited for the new girls.
I'm actually really scared. I'm not going to lie.
I hope Mitch finds someone.
So you can crack on with Zach?
SHE LAUGHS
Wow!
I feel like you just want Zach. And you need to just own that.
I feel like Ty is actually excited.
Why do both of them want to take him on a date?
Do you know what I mean?
I'm up for the date, of course I am, I'm buzzing.
But...
I actually rate her, next door, I'm not going to lie.
# All the things That go through my mind... #
All the girls are going over the fucking terrace, I reckon.
"Get away from my man! Get away from my man!"
Definitely looking forward to this.
Hopefully I don't give them
food poisoning for their first night in the Villa.
# When you walk by every night
# Talking sweet and looking fine
# All the things That flow through my mind... #
IAIN STIRLING: It's not easy entering the villa
as a late arrival.
I asked the girls if they had any reservations.
They said, "Yeah, table for two at 9:40
"under the name 'sexy bombshells'."
MUSIC: 'Fly Girl' by Flo
# Pricey, so you better Have a lot... #
I'm Charlotte, I'm a dental nurse from Bournemouth.
My friends would describe me as quite high maintenance.
I definitely know what I want.
Get the sexy men lined up waiting.
# I don't need no man to tell me Where the party is... #
My name is Leah, I'm 27, I do social media marketing
and I'm from Manchester.
If anyone's coupled up in there,
as long as no-one's popped the question,
then I think everyone is fair game, really.
I'm looking for someone who knows exactly what they want
and I'm going to get them.
# Tryin' to compete But it ain't a contest... #
Are you going in all guns blazing or are you chilling?
Just chilling, bro.
Yeah, learned that the hard way, son.
I'm obviously just going to keep my options open. Like Moll has.
And just see where the night takes us.
Stunning.
Oh, my god. It's so nice.
Oh, shit. Oh, shit. Oh, shit.
Hi, boys. Hi, boys.
It's getting bad, bitch.
SHE CHORTLES
Whitney, Whitney. Sorry.
Hi, girls, are you all right?
Hi, good, how are you?
Who's who, then?
Hi. Hey, girls.
Nice to meet you. Lovely to meet you.
Hi, Leah. Nice to meet you. Charlotte.
Nice to meet you. Leah. Lovely to meet you.
I'm nervous. Do you like halloumi? Yeah, I love halloumi.
This is the first time I've cooked. I can't cook.
I'm going to try for you, you know what I'm saying?
I do like a man that can cook. You like a man that can cook?
Silence, please.
Hey, girls! You look cute.
Thank you.
Have you feeling, though? Good, you know.
Ready for the villa? Yeah, I think I am.
I might as well grab your seat for you.
This is your one. Thank you. Oh, a gentleman.
I swear... I swear it's Leah, my friend.
I actually swear it is, but she's changed her hair.
She used to have dark hair.
Is she your friend? Yes.
Go on, lads, set the pace, then.
What do you mean?
What's her name, Leah or Charlotte?
Charlotte's good. Fucking Leah's unreal, bro.
Is that your type?
I've completely forgot about Molly.
MUSIC: 'Dive' by Olivia Dean
# And I'm ready to dive
# Cos the water's warm
# And nothing wrong, It's alright, yeah... #
IAIN STIRLING: It's dinner time and a couple of tasty-looking dishes...
..will be serving our bombshells some starters.
It's so weird with people looking, innit?
Good luck, boys. What is that?
None of your business.
I played it quite safe, you know?
The vegetarian scares me.
No, this looks really good.
Oh, my God. 11 out of 10 for that presentation.
Yeah, is that what you're thinking?
No, that's 11 out of 10.
So, how are you getting on in your couple?
That is a good question.
So I'm currently coupled up with somebody called Catherine.
Mm-hm?
I don't really think there's much there.
I feel like we are such early days,
you sort of have to... owe it to yourself.Explore everything.
OK, so you're definitely open. Yeah, 100%.
OK. Good. Good?Yeah, good.
Shh! Shut the fuck up.
Tell me about yourself... Charlotte.
So, I'm 30. Are you, actually?
Yeah. You look amazing.
Thank you, just recently, I just turned 30.
And I'm a dental nurse.
Your teeth are nice, to be fair. Thank you.
Why did you pick me? I think you're handsome.
I would say likewise, but I don't want to call you handsome.
Oh, God! SHE LAUGHS
You are, you are gorgeous, though. Thank you so much.
This is terrible, this food is...
Just be honest with me, how hard is it?
It's average.
It's quite hard to cut, but it was a nice presentation.
So what about you, how long have you been single?
Erm, for seven months. Seven months, OK.
Yeah. But I've only had two serious relationships.
Like, I'm not kind of doing the whole, like, dating, like,
I don't know, like, just for fun with no meaning,
I'm not doing that, like... Yeah.
..if I'm putting my energy and time into something, like,
I want it to be like
something that's going to progress into what I want for my future,
do you know what I mean? So...
So what is actually your type? Do I fit into any category?
Mm... I like a pretty boy. I'm winning.
Mm... taller than me, they don't have to be like huge,
but... cos I'm quite tall.
But obviously if we go on a date, you gonna have to not wear heels.
Stop! Or I'll wear heels.
LAUGHTER
Do you feel like you would be ready to settle down?
Yeah, I feel like that's the only thing
I kinda want to do at this point. Oh, OK.
Like I feel that my looks ain't gonna last forever.
It would be nice to meet somebody and get some decent holiday pics
while I'm still young.
MITCH: You've come in here to find love.Yeah, of course.
And I'm 30 as well, so I'm like...
I want to settle down. I'm 27.
I want like four babies as well, so, like...
I want two. We'll have to compromise, go with three.Yeah.
Oh!! SHE LAUGHS
I think you'll find everyone's really nice here, so...
It's definitely nice to have an older girl in here, though.
someone... mature, you know.Old!
Cheers. Cheers.
Thank you so much.
Of course. I'm happy your food were really cold.
Well, thank you. This was really nice.
That was lovely, though.
Nice one. Cheers. See you.
Yeah, I noticed that, I noticed that.
IAIN: Tyrique and Zach are bringing over the main courses
while Mitch is bringing the girls a cup of Listerine
to wash away the taste of the starters.
How's he on this table? Shit, he's on the front table.
Fuck sake.
How you doing, Charlotte? Hello! You all right?
Like I said, yeah, it's the first meal I've ever cooked.
So don't judge me on my cooking. Oh, my God, no, this is so cute.
You like it, yeah? It's a little burnt in some aspects.
No, it's fine. Thank you.
I tried my best, though. No, it looks nice.
I like the little dip here on the side.
You need a little sauce, you need a bit of sauce in your life.
LAUGHTER
How old are you? 27.
I like an older woman. You do?
Yeah, get love round here. How old are you? I'm 24.
OK, this is the taste test. Let's taste it.
Cold.
HE SPLUTTERS, SHE LAUGHS
No, it's actually really nice.
Think you're so nice
that even if it was shit you'd say it weren't.
If it was bad, I'd be honest and I'd say, look...
Would you, though?
..you look really good looking, but I'm not gonna eat your food.
I look good looking? Good... like, you look good.
Oh, thank you. Yeah. You look good yourself.Yeah.
So how long have you been single, Charlotte?
So I've been single since December. Mm-hmm? So what about you?
A long time. How long?
About four years.
So, do you date much?
You know what, no, not at all. Why?
No-one's really floated my boat like that.
I feel like I kind of know what I'm looking for,
and I feel like I kind of know what I want,
but I just haven't really come across it yet.
What are you looking for? Like, realistically.
Are you looking for the one now?
I'm looking for a husband and baby daddy.
And a baby daddy? Mm.
I'm 30, so I'm, like...
Yeah, I definitely want to be finding the one.
You look good, though. Thank you.
What's your type?
I feel like, physically... Yeah? I would say you. OK.
But, like, how you look, I'm, like, yeah.
I really like the way you look. Thank you!
SHE GIGGLES Erm...
The chat's flowing, innit? Yeah.
This is poetry. LAUGHTER
So, how...
LOWERING VOICE: You're with Catherine?
So, yeah, I'm with Catherine, but, erm...
you'll realise here, time is on a different scale.
Like, obviously, a day is still a day. Yeah.
24 hours is still 24 hours. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But it's like, when you're here, it's like,
the time just is different.
So you're not closed off? You're open?
No, def... I wouldn't say I'm closed off at all.
It's still such early days.
That's what I mean, it's so early. It's, like, the first week.
Yeah, like, you've definitely come at the perfect sort of time.
Yeah, I know.
What did your ex look like? Erm...
SHE GIGGLES
He was tall. Dark, handsome? He was mixed race.
Brown eyes... Yeah. Nice.
Cheers. SHE GIGGLES
Why are you stuttering now? THEY GIGGLE
Ticking a few boxes. Cheers.
No, maybe the stutter's just cos I'm super nervous.
You're not nervous. Don't say that. Erm, I am.
You don't have to be nervous.
.
They're just smiling and giggling too much.
They're not gonna... Can't even be arsed.
Just stay, chill.
Thank you so much. No problem, Charlotte.
It was lovely. You look great. Nice to meet you.
Welcome to the villa. Thank you.
You're gonna have a lovely time, all right? Of course, yeah.
Cheers. Yeah, cheers.
GLASSES CHINK
Well, thank you for the food as well.
I'll see you in a bit. Mm-hm.
Ella, stop stressing.
I'm not stressed. Listen, guys, don't make a big deal.
Babe, he's so into you. I just want to compose myself.
Right, so let's just talk about something else.
So, how was it?
OK, I was literally undressing, like, with my eyes. He's so sexy.
He's so sexy! Christ.
And his eye contact! Oh, God.
Was he getting that eye contact? Mm, mm.
Yeah. Gorgeous guy.
IAIN STIRLING: It's dessert time.
Tyrique is making Charlotte's while Mitch is preparing Leah's,
and Mitch has gone the lazy route
by serving his cream out of a can... aerosol.
I'm making bare effort with this one.
Leah's 100% my type.
Go smash it, bro. She's bare flirty and that.
Is she? Tell me about Leah.
Leah's from Manny.
Close to me, bro. Miles from you.
She's 27. Too old for you, son.
CHUCKLING:Oh, bro. She's my type.
Aye, she's bare, like, flirty. Eye contact's...
Nah, nah, nah, you're not copying me, son.
I am copying you, bro. Get... oh!
Good luck, mandem.
# The way you made up All those stupid rules
# You always won just so that... #
Hello. LEAH: Hello.
I've put a lot of effort into this so I hope you like it.
Oh.
ELLA WHISPERS:There's Tyrique. There's Tyrique.
Hello, you all right? Hello, you OK?
I wouldn't say that's the best thing I prepared, but... Wow.
That's the sort of stuff there, you know what I'm saying?
LEAH: Oh, my God, unreal.
Do you know what, you've done a really good job.
You think?
MOLLY:Ouch. Ow!
So it's Leah? "Leia"? Leah. Leah. "Leia"?
Where are you from? Princess "Leia"?
I'm from Manchester. You're not far from me, you know?
Where are you from? Sheffield.
And how old are you? 27.
Mitch is such a natural flirt.
Are we gonna dig into this? Yeah, let's do it.
So I put... So is this melted?
So how do we, like... Do we, like... ?
It's one of them where I didn't think this one through,
I just thought it looks nice and that.
Do you know what, you've done a really good job.
Shut up. THEY CHUCKLE
CHARLOTTE:You OK? Yeah, I'm good. You?
Yeah, good. Where are you from?
I'm from Bournemouth. Bournemouth, yeah?
Where are you from? I'm from Essex.
Mm! You ever been to Essex? Mm-hm.
You like it? Yeah, it was nice.
Have you been to Bournemouth? Yeah, a couple of times, you know.
I actually like Bournemouth.
Do you? Yeah. And the beach.
Yeah, when it's hot, it's proper nice, innit?
How's your situation? I'm excited to know.
Obviously, I'm coupled up with Molly at the moment.
That means you're not open. No, no, no. You're wrong.
Oh? I'm completely open.
We went through a bit of a stage where we couldn't figure out...
She wanted to get to know people, I had no other options.
Now I've an option now, which you're literally my type.
Oh! Unreal.
CHARLOTTE:You're truthful, then, guys.
Mitch said everything, the truth.
How old are you? 24. OK.
And how old are you? 30, yeah?
You don't look 30, though. No?
You've got nice teeth, you know? Thank you.
What?! Dude, shut up. She won't, she won't, she won't.
Actual shut up.
What's you type, though, or do you not have a type?
They have to be, like... Not, like, short,
because I'm, like, 5'7, so I don't want like someone,
like, really short. Yeah, what about you?
I don't really have a type, you know.
I just like a pretty face. Yeah.
Literally. And that's more, like, vibes, you know what I mean?
Pretty face?
Honestly, so cliche but I'm such a personality person.Literally.
Like, I really am, so... Yeah.
It's more just like... Connection. Yeah, who I have a connection with.
I feel like they need to be really family orientated...
Orientated. Yeah, cos I'm like,
"That's what I want in my future."
Yeah, no, I'm single, and now I'm getting a bit older,
I want like babies and...
Babies and that? Of course.
So you're ready for it now, d'you reckon?
I mean, like, if I meet, like, the right person.
Yeah, no, of course. You can't just be having babies with anyone.
Yeah, no. And it's obviously so important, isn't it?
She just said, "I want a baby."
They're talking about children. Have you heard?
SHE CHUCKLES
She wants a husband real quick. Yeah, literally.
How are you in your couple? Yeah, no, obviously,
I'm a couple here with Ella. Yeah.
And the public put us together from day one.
It's gone in the right direction.
I wouldn't say I'm fully closed off, you know.
It's been a week, and I've never had a girlfriend before,
do you know what I mean?
OK, yeah. So it's like, I'm not gonna just jump in here.
I'm open, innit?
But it will take, like, a lot for me to change my mind
in this current moment in time.
I don't know about that. Do you know what I mean?
JESS: Babes, don't stress it. I'm not stressed, babe.
I just don't want him to move stupid and ruin things with us.
I don't think he would. No.
I just want him to be respectful and come correct,
do you know what I mean?
You do look beautiful, though.
I like your dress. Thank you.
MOLLY:Oh, fucking hell.
Obviously, is age a problem? It needs to be.
You need to talk to guys your age, I think.
It's not the age, it's the emotional maturity.
This place has just gotten more interesting.
RUCHEE:Molly's feeling the pressure, boy.
Yeah. She's deffo feeling the pressure.
So, were the other dates good, though?
Yeah, they were good, yeah. Right.
I love chatting as well, so it's like...
I really want this chocolate, but I don't want to, like...
Shall I break it for you? Yeah, can you?
If she fucking feeds him, I'm gonna be raging.
OK, oh, my God. CHOCOLATE CRACKS
OK, not that big.
How big do you want it? Half.
SHE GIGGLES
No, no. No, don't do it.
Like that? Yeah, that's good.
Thank you.
Can they wrap this up now? That's enough.
Ten, ten. I don't think you enjoyed it.
No, no, I have. D'you know what it is?
You haven't had a single strawberry.
Do you want one? Yes.
Can you do the whole thing? Are you sure?
Yeah, go on. OK. Go on.
Here we go.
Oh!
THEY GASP
Like it.
See it? She's fed him.
# Let it begin
# Push it away But it's pulling me in... #
Why did you pick me over everyone else?
I don't know. I picked you because...
Looks-wise, obviously, you're really good-looking.
Thank you. You have really nice eyes.
Really? Yeah.
Yeah, I don't know, I just wanted to get to know you more.
Obviously, you're most similar to my age. Yeah. Number one.
I feel like, number two, like,
you seem really down to earth, which I like. I try to be.
My dad... My mum and dad have raised a gentleman. Yeah.
I feel like you're the guy that's going to open the car door.
100%, every time. Yeah.
I hate that, you know. Just the worst cook.
This dessert was fine, though. Good.
THEY LAUGH
OK, well...
Thank you for a good date. Thank YOU for a good date.
And you've been great. You didn't enjoy that at all.
No, I did! HE LAUGHS
