IAIN STIRLING: Previously...
on Love Island...
My dress is a bit short. Stand back, let me see you.
Did she just get up and twirl for him? Looks nice.
Clearly something's wrong, innit? Be respectful.
Don't be saying, "Get up and twirl for me,
"show me your outfit." No.
Come here.
I found myself jealous from watching Zach on dates.
# Hit the road, Jack
# And don't you come back
# No more
# What'd you say? #
Charlotte and Leah, you will choose
who you'd like to couple up with first.
I would like to couple up with...
ECHOING:..Tyrique.
ECHOING:Zach.
I would like to couple up with Catherine.
Whitney.
Jess.
The connection is there,
and I just want to explore it a bit more.
Molly.
TEXT ALERT
Islanders, you must now decide which single girl should be saved.
The girl not chosen will be dumped from the island immediately.
# Don't you come back no more... #
# Welcome to the dark side... #
IAIN STIRLING: In a dramatic recoupling,
Catherine took Andre from Ruchee, wiping the smile off Ruchee's face,
and Leah took Tyrique from Ella, wiping... Well, actually,
I don't think she's ever smiled, but you get the picture.
TEXT ALERT
# Never thought that I would feel This unprepared
# To let go of the pain Although I'm getting there... #
HE READS TEXT
# Welcome to the dark side. #
# Welcome to the final show That you can't let go
# And you're fighting Just to stay alive
# Welcome to the dark side. #
I'm gonna be real, obviously.
It's a shit situation cos I feel like
I'm actually quite close to Ruchee.
It's just unfortunate she didn't find anyone.
I really did want her to find someone.
But I feel like what I do have with Ella is strong.
I want to keep exploring it.
Yeah, I think it's a shame, like,
to sort of put Ruchee out of the question.
Obviously, she hasn't had, like, the best shot in here.
It would be a big shame to throw that away.
I'm shaking too much. I can't believe she chose him.
I know. Actually shaking.
ELLA SIGHS
Ruchee has been someone that I've been able to turn to,
and we've opened up to each other a lot.
So I think, in a friendship way,
it would be really sad to see her go.
I think that the connection you, Tyrique, and Ella have,
it's genuine.
And I feel like there's a future for you guys.
I love Ruchee, I've got a lot of time for her,
but if Ella goes, I'll be gutted, I'll be honest.
That's how I feel.
I get on with both of them, and they're obviously both my mates,
and I adore Ruchee, she's just had a bit of bad luck.
It's a difficult one. It's difficult.
It's two people I feel like everyone is sort of close to,
but there's also the one girl up there
that's sort of really been in a vilified position
since the offset.
I can't believe Mitch actually chose Molly.
No. I thought he might see me as a friend.
She's just so kind-hearted, bubbly, and, you know, she's Ruchee.
They both have amazing personalities,
and it's just unfortunate that it's to come to this.
So, are we all happy with the decision we made, yeah?
Not really happy, but it's a decision.
I mean, it's a decision we've got to do.
# We're gonna get it right... #
# Welcome to the dark side. #
# Ooh, ooh-ooh
# Ooh, ooh
# Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
# You belong Among the wild flowers... #
Before I start, Ella and Ruchee,
I want you to know that it has been a very hard decision for us to make.
You need to know that every single person here loves you
and wants the best for you.
# I have seen no other
# Who compares
# With you... #
Ella, we think you had potential since day one with Tyrique,
because you had a connection,
and I think it was nice to see it blossom.
Ruchee, we've been on a similar journey,
and we want you to find the right person.
But we had to make a decision.
And we based it on potential.
So the girl who we have decided to save...
..is...
# You belong somewhere You feel free. #
Ella.
# The last time I saw you
# You said see you later... #
You're welcome.
You're welcome, cos that could've been it, bro.
Don't be sad, Ruchee. I'm not, I'm just...
You lot are crying, it's making me cry!
She's such a big personality, d'you know what I mean?
In the villa.
So she's definitely gonna be missed inside here.
# See you later... #
It's fine!
# Have a good one
# Take it easy
# When it's all said and done
# I hope it works out
# In the long run... #
You're a G for that.
# In the long run
# Sooner or later... #
Come on, Ruch, we love you so much.
I feel really sad, you know?
She was my girl, we came in together.
I feel like we formed such a mass friendship.
We've made a friend for life.
We've all made a friend for life, genuinely.
Obviously, I didn't find a connection here,
but I've definitely found friendships. Yeah.
I'm just happy I got to experience it
with all you guys. Check your DMs!
LAUGHTER
# See you later... #
You're gonna miss my looks!
# Have a good one
# Take it easy... #
Aw!
# When it's all said and done
# I hope it works out
# In the long run... #
Bye, guys.
Bye, Ru! Bye, Ruchee!
Good luck! We love you! See you soon!
APPLAUSE, CHEERING
Don't miss me too much!
SHE LAUGHS, SQUEALS
Obviously, I didn't find a connection in there.
I did try, but I didn't find a connection.
WHOOPING, CHEERING
I feel like I've had a good journey,
and I'm happy to, obviously, go back to my family and my friends
and, yeah, I'm looking forward to it.
# The last time I saw you
# You said see you later
# You were my best friend
# Now you're a stranger. #
IAIN STIRLING: In a dramatic re-coupling,
dental nurse Charlotte grabbed Zach from Molly.
One of the more painful extractions she's been involved with.
And poor old Ruchee got dumped,
leaving her fellow Islanders in shock.
It hurts. How are you?
I'm good, how are you? I'm good. I'm sad, but...
Yeah, I'm definitely sad that Ruchee left.
100%, I'm really sad. I'm really sad.
When I stood up, he went,
"Ruchee, Moll, Ruchee, Moll, Ruchee, Moll."
Then he went, "Boom." and I went, "Fuck"!
Someone's going home now.
And I was, like, "Knew it, knew it, knew it."
I was, like, "Friendship, I've got you, boys."
MITCHEL CHUCKLES
But because I've ultimately sent Ruchee home.
I don't think anyone else did but me.
The thing is, though, the thing is, Mitch, you're saying this.
Really, you've got a secret plan just to get to know Molly now.
If it doesn't work out I definitely did,
but if Moll starts liking me again, then a game's a game.
The thing is, I didn't choose Molly.
I didn't save Molly, I saved Zach's Molly.
I didn't think about her once.
What I said at the re-coupling, I did mean.
I can't lie about stuff like that.
And I think what my game plan is, I've got Zach trusting me,
Zach thinks that I'm not interested in Molly when I am.
When I talk to her and pull her for chats,
he's just gonna think, "Oh, it's a mate."
But realistically, I can do it under the radar.
You simply owe it to the girls to get to know them, innit?
And ourselves to get to know the girls.
You think you got something good there with Molly,
I felt there was something good there with Ella.
I'm open, so... You get me?
You said we were open, so...
You can't say you're open, then when it's down to it, you're shocked.
You gotta give them a chance.
I'm definitely gonna chat to Charlotte a little.
Mm. But I feel like it's definitely made me realise now,
I'm definitely going up my game a little with Molly, you know?
Yeah. You gotta.
I mean, do absolutely nothing different, but just spend more time.
IAIN: Mitch has a top-secret plan to woo Molly,
Mitchy boy, the key to success is to keep your cards close to your chest.
Tell absolutely no-one. Mum's the word.
I didn't do that for Zach.
What I said, I meant. Really?
It's been you from day one, and it still is.
I know you've got a connection with Zach.
I don't think I'm ready to give up yet.
OK. That's interesting. I didn't know that.
I didn't think you still felt like that.
Of course I still feel like that. I do fancy Leah a bit.
She doesn't compare to you, no-one does.
And I don't know where your head is at, but...
Would you still think that if she chose you?
Yes. I don't think I'll be a connection.
I'd rather risk it with you than anyone else.
Wow. SHE CHUCKLES
I didn't expect you saying that at all.
At all.
'Despite the kiss with Zach and going down that route,
'Mitch wants to carry on.'
I just wish one of the girls picked him, if I'm honest.
He made it very clear that I either get to know people,
or it's all him.
And I chose to get to know people.
And then now we're going back to square one,
but I feel like the Mitchel boat has sailed now.
And I'm happiest when I'm getting to know Zach.
If they go backwards,
if it goes backwards I want to take myself completely out of it.
Yeah, course. But I don't think it will.
Bro, I think Molly's made her mind up.
Yeah, I can't lie, I do want to know what Mitch's thought process was.
Shall we go and do a swapsies? Shall we grab 'em?
What, me go with Mitch, you go to Molly?
Yeah, go on, I'll do that. Shall we do it?
I'll do that. Fine, come on.
If you wanna get to know me, under the radar for a bit,
under the radar. What do you mean by that?
The fact that everyone thinks that I did it for you two.
Mm. And then we can get to know each other without pressure.
Without pressure, without everyone going, "What about this?"
Do you know what I mean?
But, no, like I say, you're very welcome.
You're very welcome.
I'm joining you lot. Apologies. How are you lot doing?
Am I intruding? No, of course you're not, son.
We're just chatting about the Recoupling.
What you saying?
Just chatting about it and, obviously,
just fucking going through what happened and that,
what I had to do. Let me hear your side of things.
You sitting on here? I might as well.
I'm definitely glad you're here, though.
SHE EXHALES I was shitting myself.
I'm pissed off a little,
but definitely have to have the silver lining.
I didn't expect Charlotte to pick you, though.
I didn't.
I really didn't. I really didn't.
I was shocked.
I didn't expect him to say what he said. Mm.
Which shocked me. In what way?
It's just confusing. So what's confusing, then?
Well, what he said.
And he just came and spoke to me about what he meant.
So he's obviously still, like, fully-fledged on you.
Just out of nowhere, though, like.
I know what I want now. What is that?
I want to keep pursuing things with you.
Definitely, I'm gravitating more towards you.
In every aspect.
I agree. I feel the same.
I could just sit here and kiss you right now though.
Right. No, joke. Nah, joke. Nah, joke.
Good luck, that counts.
SHE LAUGHS
I wasn't surprised at Mitchel's plan.
I feel like in his head I've done him dirty,
which I don't really understand.
So there's definitely some sort of ulterior motive, for sure.
Time will tell on that one,
but I feel like me and Molly are in a good place.
I wish Charlotte picked Mitch.
Well, it doesn't stop me from speaking to you all the time,
so it just means I'll have to wave at you across the room
for a bit longer. SHE CHUCKLES
IAIN: Leah got what she wanted, but her decision left her in tears,
like that time I insisted Akash make my chicken vindaloo triple-strength.
SHAKILY: I had to put my toilet roll in the freezer!
Don't cry. No, I know, I don't actually want to.
You're gonna make me cry.
SHE EXHALES
HE SNIFFS
I just want to start by saying that, like,
if you feel like I'm pissed off for, like, not happy that you chose me,
that's not the case at all, you know what I mean?
It was just, like, it was unexpected. Yeah.
Not unexpected, but it was, like, it was brave, innit?
And I rate brave.
I feel like, from the people I've got to know since I've been here,
you have been, like, the most flirty and stuff.
I still appreciate that you're gonna get to know her
and I was just hoping, like,
"OK, cool, I'll just still get to know you."
You'll still have whatever is with her.
Just see what it is, do you know what I mean?
Flirting with you does come a bit naturally and that.
I was honest and said I'm open.
And I've always said to Ella, like,
if someone was to come in I'm not fully closed off.
So I feel like that's the case, it's happening now, innit?
Yeah. Basically, backing what I said, innit? Yeah.
I've not even got to know you. Yeah.
I just thought that out of everyone. Based off what you had.
Yeah, I would probably mostly choose you, that was the decision.
I understand it, I hear it.
You had to pick someone, at the end of the day.
Can we speak?
Yeah. I'm gonna chat to her, you know. Yeah, 100%.
Thank you.
Can you go on the other side? Hm? I wanna sit here.
I could not have seen that coming.
I couldn't have seen any of it coming.
How do you feel? About Ruchee going?
I'm gutted. I'm gutted that Ruchee went.
As soon as I saw it was down to me and her,
I thought, regardless, it's gonna be a shit night.
Because if I go, it's gonna be shit.
I don't wanna leave,
and, like, I feel like I actually have something good in here.
Mm. And I felt like...
I felt shit because I thought, if I leave,
then now I feel like I left for nothing,
because I don't think you have anything with the girl, so...
Obviously, I'm not that over the moon that she picked me,
because I feel like I have a good thing going with you,
like, you know what I feel about you, do you know what I mean?
But I don't want her to feel like... I don't want her to feel shit.
I feel like you're just flirting with her and doing it for fun.
Like, I don't think it's a serious thing.
I don't think you feel like you could have anything with her
that's like what we have.
Yeah, but I don't know that, I just met her.
OK, well, whatever.
So, I felt like... That's my whole point, yeah?
Sorry to interrupt you, yeah, but that's my whole point, I don't know,
I don't know her, so I owe it to myself, and to Leah, to try.
Like, she picked me, so it's not like I'm gonna be disrespectful
and just, like, completely ignore her, do you know I mean?
Like, just because we're not in a couple
doesn't mean we've gotta stop talking and whatnot,
we're still gonna do our thing, do you know what I mean?
But whilst that's still open there, and then until I know...
Until I know that there could be something there
or there's definitely not something there,
until then, I just need you to trust what we have,
cos I feel like we do have a good thing.
And if you went home today,
I would, like, I would have been gutted, still.
Like, gutted, gutted.
So, how are you feeling? Oh, good, man. I'm glad.
Yeah? Yeah, glad.
I hope so. Cos I see you chatting to Molly a lot,
and I don't wanna, like, beg it, do you know what I mean?
Cos I'm not like that... So, I just...
No, I wouldn't even let you beg it, don't even worry about that.
I feel like we've sort of just been getting really close,
and that's just going in a really good direction at the moment,
I wouldn't let you beg it in any way.
I feel like it's still super early days, innit?
Yeah, of course.
It's been a bit rocky, obviously.
She's still... I don't know really what's going on with her and Mitch.
I definitely wouldn't mug you off, don't be silly.
So, Molly's quite a lot younger than you.
Do you normally go for younger girls?
No, not usually, no.
But she definitely doesn't give me, like, a 21-year-old vibe.
Yeah, she definitely is mature for her age.
Obviously, it's ridiculous me saying, like,
"Oh, yeah, I'm completely..."
I know, but if you said that, I wouldn't bother.
But you're not saying that, so I'll bother.
Of course not, definitely.
THEY LAUGH
IAIN: Poor Mitch suffers from a debilitating condition.
When he experiences stress, he imagines he's at a fertility clinic.
Am I shooting blanks here with you, or have I got a chance?
It's hard because, being completely honest,
the moment I've been happiest is when
I've been trying to get to know him. And that felt right for me
and I'm enjoying where it's going with Zach.
It's difficult seeing you talk to someone else.
Mm. Because I know that I'm better than them for you.
I know the fact that I'd make you happier than he will.
I don't know.
After all of these little things, it's just like...
I don't know, the way it just happened
and the way we've gone about things, it's just put me off.
Third time's a charm, eh?
I just... Yeah.
Just don't close your book, Moll. Don't do it with Zach.
I don't trust him.
You've seen how he acts the last couple of days.
I don't think he's acted bad.
You might regret this, you might not,
I just thought I'd try one last time. Hm.
I don't think we get on.
I like when things are going with Zach.
I do. Hm.
And I do kind of wish one of the girls picked you.
And I respect that.
I don't... It's difficult.
Like, I've never fucking laid it on with a girl like this. Mm.
I normally get what I want quick. I know.
Literally, what I want.
I know, and I can tell, that's what...
But do you not see that I'm trying, harder than he is?
No, he's trying. He is.
He is.
I think something might open back up,
but if it does, it does, and if it doesn't, it doesn't.
I'm true to myself to know I tried.
IAIN: What a night. What a night!
What a night. What a night.
What a night.
What a night! Girls - anything you'd like to add?
What a night, what a night, what a night!
Oh, Molly! What a night!
That speech!
I just don't understand where the speech came from.
It really confused me.
# I'm the one who left you there In the dark... #
Bro, Mitchel and Molly have survived another re-coupling together.
Look, I've got you, I've got you, I've got you.
The fact that Molly just people-pleases people,
does that not piss you off?
I'm not gonna put up with that for too long.
# But I can't move on If I tried to... #
Literally, though, why's she worn sexy PJs?
And Moll said to Mitch,
"There's so much damage from me and you now, we need to leave it".
And I was like, "Well, at least you know I tried, Moll".
And that were it.
I am so confused. People are moving bonkers!
Bonkers is my new favourite word, though.
Good word, still.
# Because I thought I'd be fine Without you... #
SIGHS
I'm sleeping outside tonight, so... Are you?
Yeah, just cos I want to.
So, I'll see you in the morning. Later.
# You're the one Who's coming away... #
Ty, are you not joining her?
Not tonight still. It's cold!
Zach, I think you should join her, bro.
Zach, you don't need to do nothing.
That's what she wants. She's done it to make a statement.
# Cos I never gave you enough... #
Night, Ella. Good night, Ty.
Good night, everyone!
# Baby, it hurts
# Lover
# Love
is the worst
# Baby, it hurts, Hurts, hurts, hurts
# It hurts. #
# Got the news just last month
# That I am exhausting And you're not in love.. #
IAIN: Last night, Mitch came up with a fool-proof plan
to woo Molly into bed.
How did it go?
Well, let's just say, this morning he woke up on his own,
and she woke up in the garden.
# You're MIA, running so free
# Calling your ex Forgetting 'bout me... #
Morning mon frere.
Morning, Charlotte. Morning.
Morning. I can just about see you.
How is it sleeping alone, Mitch?
It were right comfy, dude. I had a right good sleep.
What are you thinking, Mitch?
Like, she's literally just went and slept outside
so she doesn't sleep next to you.
It is what it is, isn't it?
Surely, that's done now, bro?
Yeah, it is done.
# So, I'm feeling and I'm dealing With the heart you broke
# I'm hurting, but I'm certain It's still true... #
Good morning! ALL:Morning!
Happy birthday, Zach!
Oh, shit! Happy birthday, Zach!
ALL:Happy Birthday, Zach!
# I know I'm obsessed And right now I might be a mess
# But one day you're gonna wake up
# And you'll see You lost the break-up. #
And how are you feeling? I'm feeling good.
Back in Andre's bed. Yeah!
Did you have a cuddle? No, I don't cuddle.
But, yeah, I feel we are going at a good pace and, like,
I do like the direction it's going in.
Charlotte, how was your first night with Zach?
Hm. Average. Average?
I could have done with, like, a little cuddle.
Because I feel like he's flirty.
He says flirty things and then he's, like...
I think on your part, you would have to make the first move.
With him?
Charlotte's lovely, but she was trying to spoon me all night, bro.
Did you not spoon her back? Didn't want to, really.
So, what, you're gonna chat to Charlotte during the day, and that?
Yeah, of course, bro.
If I was in any other situation, bro,
and I saw Molly walk out that room, I'd have gone with her.
But there's no way I could have done that to Charlotte yesterday.
I actually like my connection with Ella.
I always said I need someone to come, so I can test and that.
Now, it's happening. It's not "complatency."
Like, I'm living what I said I wanted, innit?
I'm still gonna get to know Leah. Leah's mad like sweet and that, man.
She's bare cute. She's got a cute side to her, innit, and that?
She, like, lovely person. Should get to know her more.
From day one, I've just been chilling, like, smooth sailing.
Like, me and him has just been getting on amazing.
Every day gets better.
And then out of nowhere, like, all this stuff's just happened.
And I get that she doesn't know me
and she doesn't owe me any loyalties,
so she can choose Ty if she wants and not really care.
But she never even, like, pulled me and said anything.
He did say he was open to getting to know me. He was flirty.
If he was closed off, you wouldn't have gone there.
Exactly. 100%.
I wouldn't have been talking to him.
And in that moment, who was kind of, like, the most flirty?
Who was I getting that vibe from the most - and it was him, so...
Yeah, I feel like last night probably wasn't the best time
to speak to Ella cos obviously, of course, it's gonna upset her.
I know she likes him.
If I was in a position where I really liked someone
and that happened, I'd be so upset, too.
But I'm gonna make it very clear to her,
"Look, you carry on doing what you're doing."
Like, this wasn't a statement for me to be like, "Now he's mine
and I'm sleeping in the bed with him."
It's not that. I actually don't know him that well.
No-one's closed off in here.
Yeah. I mean, apart from you! No!
Mehdi's little speech!
No, that speech! Yeah, I know. It was very cute.
How did you feel when he was saying it?
I was, like, shy. Yeah!
But he's like a vibe, I'm not gonna lie.
Unexpected, but definitely works, kind of vibe. Yeah, cute.
IAIN: The critics raved about
'Mehdi walks away from Andre and Ruchee.'
Now, it's time for the third instalment
in the 'Mehdi walks away' trilogy...
DRAMATIC VOICE: 'Mehdi walks away from Tyrique and Leah.'
Mind if I chat to Leah quickly, bro?
Yeah, sure, go for it. I'm gonna go.
Sorry about that. I'll speak to you later.
Yeah, see you later. See you later, alligator.
Sorry, brother. No, don't worry, don't be sorry.
Catch you on the rebound.
I'm gonna talk to Whitney.
Hello, love. Hi.
You all right? I'm good. How... Oh.
I can't... Oh, my God, why did I do that again?
Why are you always dropping stuff when you're around me?
Are you nervous? Yeah, of course I'm nervous.
You don't have to be nervous, I don't bite.
You do make me a bit nervous.
Really? Yeah.
Maybe that's a good thing. Do I not make you nervous?
No. It's nothing against you, though, no-one makes me nervous.
Oh, right, OK.
You look really nice today. Do you think?
Yeah. Thank you.
I think I prefer you during the day. Oh, cheers.
Because I really like your style,
but I like during the day that you've only got your shorts on.
Oh, OK. So it's like...
So you like when I'm half naked, basically? Yeah, basically.
Now I feel like a piece of meat. SHE LAUGHS
What's funny? You.
SHE LAUGHS
I feel like you should turn a bit more this way.
Don't know why you're looking off in the distance.
There's really not much going on over there.
I was just looking at the gym.
Oh, you want to go? No, I don't want to go to the gym,
I was just seeing what's going on in the gym.
Do you go to the gym much?
Er, not really. Sometimes. You look like you go to the gym.
Thanks. Ain't you full of confidence... compliments.
I said confidence. You're full of compliments.
I think you have a lovely body.
Thanks. I think you have a lovely body, too.
Lovely. Great.
SHE CHUCKLES
How are you feeling, baby?
Bit annoying?
Yeah, they just talk for ages.
Yeah, that's like what me and Mol were like
when we fucking went... When them two first started talking.
At first, I'm like, "All right, cool."
And then time's went on, I'm like,
"Don't you wanna come and chat to me?"
Yeah, literally, I could have went home last night,
but you'd rather spend the day chatting to her.
Do you reckon if a bombshell comes in,
you're gonna get to know them now? 100%.
IAIN: Zach's giving Charlotte a workout.
Careful where you stand, guys, some filthy so-and-so's
been urinating on that decking next to the gym.
Can start with a five, if you want?
Yeah, can I start with a five? Yeah, of course.
Like here? Mm-hm.
No, see, always, you want to elevate your heels, not your toes.
Here? There you go.
Sort of vibe.
And then how do I hold it? With both hands? Mm-hm.
I'm off for a wee, and then I might come and join youse.
OK.
Come up slow.
Oh, my God. Look, look, look. Look, look, look.
There we go. Too much. CHARLOTTE LAUGHS
Feeling it? There you go. Come on, up.
There we go. Last one.
All the way up, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up.
Can't even lie, Molly's worse than how you was.
Molly's acting too... Yeah, she's doing the...
She's doing the most.
She's not leaving Zach's side today.
If I was Zach, I'd be like, "Go away, give me a minute."
But she's obviously just pretending she wanted to work out.
Zach, have you got any spaces left in that class?Yeah, bro.
Come and join, bro. I might hop in in a minute.
Please. Jess, why don't you?
Huh? Why don't you come?
I don't want to intrude in the triangle, babe.
Oh, fuck.
Should I not have said that?
No. No.
My heart is literally...
Is that normal? Yeah, yeah, that's normal.
Your heart's definitely pumping, though.
Right, are we all having a plank-off?
What, you're going straight into the plank-off?
Yeah. Go hard or go home.
I can probably plank for about 20 seconds. 20 seconds?
CHARLOTTE LAUGHS
What can you do? Like, ten minutes?
Easy get ten minutes. No problem. Wow.
Molly looks pissed.
THEY LAUGH
She knows we're talking about her, innit?
What? She knows we're talking about her.
I don't give a fuck.
It's so funny, you can hear everyone's conversations.
I literally just heard exactly what they said. What did they say?
What did they say? What did they say, now? Please.
Some of them are so loud as well. Oh.
But they can probably hear us, too.
Are you enjoying your workout, Charlotte?
Kind of.
"Kind of." LAUGHS
When Molly came over, I was just, you know...
I let her have it, but, still, she is clearly, like, keen on Zach.
Obviously, she had to get in there and...
and try and chat to him as well.
Why would you do that? That's... Yeah. She's doing too much.
She's doing way too much. Now Charlotte's walked away...
You down the shower? Yeah, I can't walk.
That was a quick workout. I'm just getting some water.
Babe, I think you should go back there.
I will. Good girl.
Can literally hear every conversation. Just shut up.
IAIN STIRLING: It's time for a challenge
involving a load of balloons,
or as they're otherwise known - Islanders.
And this one's called Popping Off.
# Bang, bang, into the room... #
The gang will take it in turns to pop a balloon, sexy style,
before revealing a dare
that they have to perform with the Islander of their choosing.
"Hold the hands of two Islanders you think would make a good couple."
Ooh. Mm.
Get stirring, son.
# I know you want it Back-Back seat of my car
# I'll let you have it... #
MITCHEL EXHALES DEEPLY
LAUGHTER
Did you think that was you there, Mitch?
No.
LAUGHTER
Do you wish it was you? LAUGHTER
Get behind me. Oh, yes, sir.
She likes to be in charge!
# See, anybody could be Good to you
# You need a bad girl To blow your mind... #
BALLOON BURSTS
GASPING
Reel in like a fish, the Islander you think is the best catch,
then give them a snog.
GIRLS:Ooh!
# Bang-bang, there goes your heart I know you want it
# Back-Back seat of my car Seat of my car
# Just wait a minute Let me take you there. #
Whoo!
Jess, do the lazy spoon.
Do it in one.
SHE INHALES SHARPLY
"Snog the Islander you think is girlfriend material."
Could be you. Oh.
# Your body is a temple I'll worship you tonight
# I'm gonna make you tremble... #
I'm clapping myself!
LAUGHTER Yay!
# I'll worship you tonight
# I'm gonna make you tremble... #
LAUGHTER
"Snog the two Islanders you think fancy you the most."
# A sacred kind of love Is in these walls
# Waitin' for you And prayin' for more
# I know that you'll be mine Before they fall tonight
# I'm fallin' to my knees. #
LAUGHTER
Sammy's kiss was so intense,
at the end of it, the eye contact I was a bit, like,
"Oh, you've just really surprised me then."
Honestly, I wasn't expecting that one.
Just lie down. Lie down?
I like what you're telling me. Ha...
# Baby, I don't know what I should do... #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
"Snog the Islander who you want to get to know more."
Oh, no.
# You sure do Come on, baby
# Baby, I don't know What I should do... #
My lips are killing me.
Poker face is good.
APPLAUSE Whoo!
I felt like the kiss just went on for too long.
Like, I'm sitting, watching, like, why is it going on for ten seconds?
Like, a quick kiss is "that'll do". Do you know what I mean?
# You sure make me feel like Loving you... #
BALLOON POPS
Oh!
That would hurt.
LAUGHTER
"Tell all Islanders to cover their eyes for 60 seconds
"and snog someone of your choice. But shh, it's a secret."
LAUGHTER
That's mad!
Make sure you all close.
# You sure make me feel like Loving you
# Baby, I don't know... #
I can't see, but I can feel...
LAUGHTER, GASPS
Shh. Girls, girls, just shush.
So, who did you kiss?
SHE LAUGHS You all know. Shh.
It's a tricky secret.
Yo, Whit!
That's advanced doggy, that's a good one, that.
BALLOON POPS
CHEERING
"Shush the lips of the Islander who you think is all talk."
Nah, it's not mandem.
Sorry, Charlotte. Shush on this one.
I didn't get the secret kiss.
Oh!
Ooh!
Ah, OK.
Jealousy is in the air!
Charlotte had an opportunity to kiss me, she didn't.
Obviously, she picked me for the couple,
so I feel like that's all talk.
She had an opportunity - shh.
Arch your bum up. There we are.
Damn.
BALLOON POPS
He was finally behind you.
"Which three Islanders would make up your perfect partner?
"Choose one for the face, one for the body,
"and one for the personality."
Oh, that's put me in a sticky situation, innit?
LAUGHTER
Come on, be honest.
Face, we've got Leah.
Body, we've got Ella.
And personality, we've got Jess.
APPLAUSE
That's all right, I'm going next.
It's what's inside that counts, Jess.
Exactly.
No-one's got a better personality than Jess.
It's obvious she's a pretty girl,
so I didn't really need to tell her that.
LAUGHTER
Ah! Go on!
POPS
LAUGHTER
"Kiss the cheeks of the Islander you think is the most two-faced."
Ooh!
Double kiss. Double. Double one.
What?!
CHEERING
"High five the Islander you think is playing the game."
This is dirty, guys.
GIRLS:Ooh!
Sorry, Molly. It's all right.
Everyone was saying it about Molly so when I picked her
I didn't feel bad because it was just the truth.
Yargh! Have it!
CLAPPING
"Snog two Islanders that you think you are attracted to."
# Let's go
# Ooh, let's go... #
All right! I'm joking, I'm joking!
CLAPPING
# Let's go... #
I feel like it's...
In the challenges, it's a way to, like, express yourself
without using words, so I feel like whatever's happening
in the challenges is definitely on people's minds,
it don't just come from nowhere, do you know what I mean?
What do you feel about Sammy saying face, personality and body?
Do you know what, how I look at it, yeah, if he would have said my face
and Leah's personality or your... I would have been like...
Your personality has to be you...
I feel like personality, that's me. It's the winner.
Yeah, that's what I think as well.
I think you did quite well.
I already said she weren't my type, but, at the same time, I was like,
no-one else has a better personality than her.
She makes me crease, innit?
Was it you that said the gameplayer one to me?
Yeah. Why was that?
I feel like Mitch was out the loop for so long.
You probably could have told him sooner, you know?
No, he was in my head until I knew that he wasn't in my head.
And then I told him.
Maybe you was trying to get to know both of them and see... Yeah, I was.
And they both knew that.
Yeah, but that's why I said that, since you asked.
But no hard feelings.
Yeah, no, no, no, I just wanted to know why.
Yeah, it was just literally based on that.
IAIN: The key to any successful relationship is trust.
Anyway, here's Jess spying on Sammy from her secret watchtower.
It's always the quiet ones, by the way. Be careful.
She'll be excited that he chose her for face as well.
Welcome to my life.
Feel like I actually don't know you at all.
Have to get to know me, then. Maybe.
Pull me for a chat now and again.
Oh, I have to pull you? Not the roles reversed?
I... If you pull me, then maybe I will.
Oh, OK. But you need that...
You like someone to take charge first.
I take charge first, but I already have, I've already pulled you.
You're very brazen... You don't worry about stepping on toes.
Whose toes am I stepping on?
Go on. Exactly. Whose toes am I stepping on?
Coupled up, ain't I? Yeah, but what? Are you closed off?
Nah.
Babe, that looks proper flirty. Oh, fuck off, Sammy.
THEY SNIGGER
# Na, na, na, na, na That's not what my friends say
That's not what my friends say... #
IAIN STIRLING: At the end of a difficult day
where Leah cracked on to Tyrique and Charlotte snogged him,
Tyrique's been left with one burning question -
"When are they sending more girls in? This is brilliant!"
I need to get in the shower. I've got to wash my hair.
# Said you stayed at home But that's not what my friends say
# Said you were alone
# But that's not What my friends say...#
Oh, girls, I need to wash my hair.
# That's not what my friends say
# Na, na, na, na, na That's not what my friends say
That's not what my friends say...#
Apparently, if you dry your hair with a T-shirt,
the curls hold better.
Girl, you got different hair problems.
Bro, do you reckon you and Molly are actually DONE done now?
Yeah, 100%. Like, swear on my life, bro.
# Said you stayed at home But that's not what my friends say
# Said you were alone...#
You all right? Yeah. Sure? Yeah.
# Cancelled our plans They saw your red... #
Bro, if I try and chat to her, I'll just say,
"Oh, chat when you're fucking..." Yeah, later.
LAUGHING
Oh, my God. SHE SCREAMS
You calm down, dear Mrs.
Plan of action tonight - chat to Ella,
chat to Leah, chat to Charlotte.
Yeah. That's it.
Try build connections with Leah and Charlotte, see what's happening.
I'm gonna pull him straight for a chat and just say,
"Look, I just feel like you're not reciprocating to me.
"I don't know where your head's at. Can you just tell me?"
# That's not what My friends say... #
EXCITED SCREAMS Yeah!
# That's not what my friends say Na, na, na, na, na... #
Thanks, everyone, for making me feel very welcome,
and I'm looking forward to making some memories with all of you.
And hopefully, find a boyfriend. And hopefully find a husband!
LAUGHTER ALL: Cheers!
# That's not what my friends say What my friends say
# What my friends say That's not what my friends say
# That's not what my friends say. #
LEAH:You look nice.
So do you. I was about to say that.
Thank you. Look at us, matching in white. Did you plan it?
No. I thought you were going red, remember?
No, yeah, I did.
At least I've seen a lot, though, 'ey?
At least you've seen two in one now.
Yeah, I have. I feel like... Go on, do the rating.
You need too stand up first.
You need to stand up first.
Oh, I've gotta do the twirl? Yeah.
OK. Front shot. Back shot. I like the back shot.
You like the back shot?
Do you like the back shot? Yeah. Bit mesh.
I'll give ya...
I'll give you eight and a half for this outfit, to be fair.
Oh, my God, I... That's quite high, innit it?
Yeah.
MITCH:No, no, no, no, no. Not now. No, no, no.
So, how's your decision making going?
Still working on it.
Oh, right. Yeah.
Is that all right with you, or...?
I mean...
How's your decision making going?
Obviously, I'm attracted to you. Mm.
But I'm obviously not going to waste my time
if I feel like you are just going to be closed off.
Like, if you're doing this just for, like, fun to flirt, like...
I'd rather you just say.
Cos I feel like I'd so much rather you just be honest about it.
Do you know what I mean?
Like, I'm not here to just mess around and kiss you for fun.
It's either in my eyes,
I'm gonna get to know you or I'm not. OK.
Well, look at you getting a backbone!
SHE SCOFFS I've always had a backbone.
I feel like you've just not asked me.
Yeah, well, I'm still thinking. Is that OK?
I might have to set a time limit.
I feel like if you're telling someone like, "You look nice.
"You've got a nice body."
Then
I would personally think he was being a bit flirty
Then I would personally think
and then I would think he's interested.
So, that's the vibes I'm getting.
Ty's in there. Maybe you should pull him.
Where?
With Leah, in there.
I'm not just gonna do that. You might have to make a statement.
I'm not taking control of the situation because...
I feel, like, yeah, he's taking the piss. So...
IAIN: Leah's being taken for a chat,
and she's hoping this is gonna be fun.
Quite frankly, she's got a snowball's chance in Ella.
LEAH SIGHS
How are you?
I mean, I'm not good, I'm not gonna lie.
OK. Like, of course not.
I feel like, to be honest, I was surprised
that you've actually not even tried to speak to me once
since you obviously stole Ty.
So, when the re-coupling came, I wasn't expecting you to choose him,
and, obviously, you did.
And if it was me in that position,
I would've pulled the girl straight after or just even said, like,
"Are you OK, babe? It wasn't personal."
I feel like, first of all, I want to say I'm sorry
for making you feel that cos that wasn't my intention.
But last night was so intense,
I just felt like maybe you needed a while to, like, cool down.
But, like, I hear you, and I completely get
that, like, it's an awful position to be in,
and, like, I had to come in here, I had such a short amount of time.
He was the person who was flirting with me the most,
so I just kind of, like, went with that.
And I'm not going to pick a guy who I hardly know
who's not been flirting with me.
Like, that was literally just it.
I feel like he's benefiting from the fact
that me and you actually haven't spoke from it
because I feel like he says one thing,
but I actually don't know what he actually says to you. Yeah.
I feel like he just needs to make a decision,
and we both need to know the answer. Exactly.
What's really upsetting me is not the fact
that Leah and Ty are getting to know each other.
It's how he's handling the situation.
I feel like I'm an option, I don't feel like I'm number one.
Tyrique, this is mission control.
If any girls attempt to make you take a relationship seriously,
signal us by dropping your ring,
and we will deploy a helicopter to your location
for an immediate air-vac.
If you're just here for a fun flirt, like, that's not me.
I feel like you can do that with anyone. Mm.
Whereas I am actually interested in getting to know you,
and that's the reason I chose you.
So maybe just go with, like, how you're feeling right now.
Like... Nah.
SHE LAUGHS What?
What do you mean, no? Nah. I'm not doing that.
I'm gonna take my time and think.
And then come back to both of you with my answer, when I'm ready.
Like, I'm not going to give you...
I know you said you'd like an answer tonight, I hear all that,
but you're not getting one tonight.
But do you feel like that's OK, though,
to be just flirting with someone just for fun
to turn around and then be like,
"Oh, it actually wasn't even you I wanted to get to know.
"I was just flirting with you cos I thought it was fun for me."
Like, I feel like that's a bit like...
I'm not... I do want to get to know you, though.
When have I said I didn't want to get to know you?
No, that's what I'm asking, like, what the situation is.
Like, honestly, for you,
it's like the interest isn't there, and you're just flirting.
For me, that's different.
If I wasn't interested, I wouldn't flirt.
OK. Well, that's all I needed to know.
This whole time, I thought I've been open and honest with Ella
and told her, "Listen, like, I am open."
So, like, I'm not fully closed off.
So I am still flirting with Leah and getting to know Leah,
and I'll still be a bit flirty here and there.
That's not a secret, do you know what I mean?
I even told Ella that.
No-one's gonna make me, like, rush a decision
or make me do anything that I don't want to do, innit?
Everything's gonna be on my time sort of thing.
Ah, how are you doing, Charlotte? Yeah, I'm OK. How are you?
I'm well, thank you. How are you feeling?
Good. Good.
I feel like you never pull me for chats.
Does that mean you're not interested?
No, I wouldn't say not interested. I feel like I'm definitely...
Obviously, saying I'm closed off is ridiculous to say.
I feel like, at the moment, I'm sort of closer towards Molly.
I feel like it's more just sort of knowing kind of where she's at. OK.
And obviously, I don't want you to be...
feel like you're in a triangle or anything like that.
No, of course.
That's why I was chatting to you because I was like,
I feel like it's always me that's, like, pulling you for the chats,
and it's like, I don't want to not, like, beg it,
but I don't really wanna be, like...
Cos I'm not like that normally. No, of course you're not.
I can tell, you look gorgeous, so... Thanks.
Yeah. So I just wanted to know where your head's at.
So it's with Molly?
I just don't really know where things are at,
if I'm honest with you.
Like, I feel like things are good.
I kind of like that direction it's going in.
I don't know.
I just feel like the chat's not really there.
Like, the initial attraction's there, like, he's gorgeous,
but I just... I just don't really feel like...
He's not, like, cheeky enough.
Like, I need a bit more of, like, a cheeky chap.
What are you saying? What are you saying?
Having a good evening? Amazing.
Really? Truly.
HE CHUCKLES Why...
Why are you asking me silly questions?
What did you chat to Leah about?
She said that she chose you because you flirt with her the most,
so she went off of that.
And I said to her, like, "fair enough".
Cool. So, can we talk about... Can we talk about you now?
Let's talk about you and me. Come on, then.
HE LAUGHS "Let's talk about you and me..."
You're so unserious.
You're still... You are still my priority, innit?
Like I've always said, I think I'd made that pretty clear, no?
Have I not been open? With words, not actions.
OK, have I not been open with my words?
Forget words, like, actions matter. OK.
But, to be fair, I don't understand what actions I haven't done, really.
I spoke to you first thing when I woke up, it was you that I spoke to.
For two minutes.
I gave you a hug when I woke up. Oh, well done(!)
That one hug meant so much after you spent a whole day with the girl
that you're coupled up with... I haven't spent...
I haven't spent the whole day. Yes, hours, hours.
This morning, I came and gave you a hug.OK.
All you do is shout... Not shout, but you just grill me.
Stop complaining that every time you talk to me, you argue with me
as if it's my fault. So, what is your problem?
Because I'm literally here getting to know you and no-one else.
You're here flirting
with every fucking girl that walks in the villa.
Am I a mug that I'm going to sit and just accept that?
And just be like, "OK, I'll just wait here and watch Leah and Ty
"get to know each other and flirt all day
"and just sit like a fucking idiot, and when he's ready
"and he's had his fun and he's had a good time, he'll come and tell me,
" 'Oh, Ella, actually, you know what, I think I want to come back'."
And I'll be like, "All right, all good".
No, that's not what's gonna happen here.
Of all the boys, it's you that's giving Leah the most energy
and flirting with her the most. Yeah.
I feel mugged off and I feel silly. No, don't feel like a mug.
Let me just stop you right there.
Let's go through all the couples in here, shall we?
No, let's not do that.
No, no, let's do that, because,
"No-one acts like you, blah, blah, blah".
Let's talk about it...
Oh, my gosh, you take my most unimportant point...
Listen! Stop shouting.
Oh, me and you are just not... We're not on the same wavelength.
Wait, what?
Actually hear yourself. What do you mean?
At this point, you are gonna end up alone
because you're just playing with two people and playing with emotions.
It's not a fucking game.
I'm not playing with people...
If you are genuine, then you go for what you genuinely feel.
When I fully know, then you'll know.
When I'm fully 100%...
Yeah, well, it's gonna be fucking too late at this point
cos I will have moved on because I'm not gonna accept
you treating me anyhow, and treating me like some option.
And I will crack on. Go on, crack on, then.
New fucking people's gonna fucking come in.
Go crack on, then.
TENSE MUSIC
IAIN: Tomorrow night...
Caught all the whispering girls out.
No-one's whispering, though.
You was whispering.
I don't wanna have this conversation no more, sorry,
cos it's winding me up.
The fallout continues.
TEARFULLY:No!
No, I don't wanna have the conversation.
I don't wanna talk to no-one.
And a bombshell hits the villa.
