IAIN STIRLING: Previously, on Love Island...
..the film festival...
..fanned the flames.
You say one thing to one girl, one thing to the other.
You're very bitter towards me. Shut up when I'm speaking.
Just shut up now, cos you're winding me up.
I feel sick. Right now, you are my priority.
THEY GASP Come on, then.
No! It's enough to give anyone the ick.
You actually got closed down by Hugo.
No, I didn't. If he'd carried on with you, yeah?
Shut up. You're in the wrong, I'm not.
Nothing wrong with a little swivel on a lad's holiday.
Oh, my God. I'd want you in my bed the most.
No. Please.
You didn't have to do any of that. I wanted to do it.
There we go. Oh, there we go.
And for two...
The public have been voting for the most compatible couple.
Oh, here we go.
..the end credits rolled.
Ellie and Trey, you received the fewest votes,
and are therefore dumped from the island.
Nah! Please leave the villa immediately.
Tonight...
TEXT ALERT I've got a text!
Mimii, Jessy and Uma, it's time to get ready,
as Rueben and Josh want to take you out for drinks.
SCREAMING Who?
I don't care. What will be will be.
Let the games begin.
# And it all comes down to this... #
Ellie and Trey were kicked out straight after the film festival.
Not as tough as being kicked out DURING a film festival.
I still say my movie
Iain Stirling Colonoscopy: The Director's Cut
was misunderstood.
Mate, what's just happened was a massive surprise, man.
As if after the film festival
we was gonna think someone was gonna get absolutely jogged on.
Nah, bro, you can never see that.
Mate, it was like that as well. Boom, gone.
I was in absolute disbelief when I heard that text.
I know they have their differences in here,
maybe they will be better off outside.
He was a sweet boy, man. Proper.
When we were sat there and it said the public had been voting,
I was just thinking, my actions over the last few days...
You gotta believe in it, though, right.
What you've got with Uma is special.
Very special. I feel so strongly about her.
People will see that. And that's how I feel as well.
That's why these things have gotta be squashed, gotta be moved on,
and, you know... Yeah.
Mate, tomorrow I am... getting things back on track.
Joey's still mad that Blade questioned his intelligence!
I said to Joey, "That's dreadful, I think you're very perspicacious."
Joey said, "How dare you, I'm not sweaty."
Obviously, like, you called me not intelligent,
or whatever you said, I'm not quick, like.
I'm just letting you know, I know you keep saying you disagree.
It was a saying. I'm just letting you know, like,
trust me, you can't insult my intelligence.
But obviously, in that situation, I was saying to Jessy,
obviously I'm gonna have to say something.
Obviously, I was just voicing how I felt, you know what I mean?
Yeah, I feel like that's all
that needs to kind of be said at this point.
Obviously, like, you know what I mean?
The boys, they're looking at it like,
"Oh, he's saying this, he's saying that."
Which I understand, cos being honest with you,
if you're gonna try and draw a girl,
you can't be insulting someone's intelligence,
saying, "That boy's stupid, don't get with him."
But at the same time, once I said, "You've not met Joey before,
"you can't comment on that, what you've seen,"
Blade's backed away and accepted it.
I would just more have said, like,
it was probably just more of a joke in poor taste.
It was. It's all over, it's all good, bro.
But I would prefer to be upfront and direct. Yeah, of course.
There's nothing to hide, there's nothing to shy away from.
Exactly, mate. Same with me, bro. Nothing at all.
No, good, good.
I feel like with Blade, he's trying to come for me in an academic way,
with, like, that I'm not intelligent.
Trying to be smart about it himself with the girls.
It's like, yeah, you might beat me in an English exam.
You ain't never beating me in anything else, mate.
You might beat me at an arm wrestle, I don't know,
but where's that gonna get you, mate?
An arm wrestle's gonna get you nowhere.
I'm so embarrassed. I really thought that he was a different person.
Like, yeah, what we saw was really shit,
but the way they've handled it has made it ten times worse.
You could have been, "Boys, shut up, I'm an idiot."
Really, when you've been saying to me,
"Oh, those conversations with Jessy were not flirty.
"No, I made it quite clear.
"I just said, 'I'm open, but if you want to pull me, you can pull me.'"
No, you didn't say that.
What did Ayo say? He said... She said, "Oh, what's your type?"
He basically said exactly her, or something.
I don't even know. I can't!
If that's your type, why did you waste my time, bro?
It's so simple to be respectful in a situation.
Sean said to Diamante,
"You're exactly what I'm looking for, you tick all my boxes."
You know that's hurtful to me, yeah?
For you to sit there and be like, "That's my perfect type."
That's actually quite upsetting for me to hear. I know. I know.
I know, but babe, do you know what?
You're the most beautiful girl, inside and out.
I just think... It's not just that, it's the comments that you've said.
Yeah, but it doesn't mean I have to change the way I act.
No, but you need to... Do you know what I mean?
You need to just navigate each other
and just understand each other's point of view.
But then you shout at me something, I respond, it's, "Shut up."
And, like, try to defend yourself.
Just being pissed off, bro, that's all it is.
You were trying to defend yourself in front of your mates,
and she's trying to defend herself in front of her mates.
Why don't you both now just go and chat to 'em?
Mm. She'll get over it, man.
Sean's doing it. Go on. Wil. She'll just send me away.
I don't think she will. Well, you don't know.
You've done it, you've tried it, then,
and she can't throw that in your face, can she?
So go on.
This is the thing of men.
Like, they just get excited over a new shiny toy. That's what...
When I saw that, that's all I saw with Sean and with Wil as well.
They know, long-term, that it's you two.
The way he's gone about it tonight has pushed me even further
from how I feel about him now.
I know he's not coming over here, is he?
All right? No.
Want to go for a chat? No. I can't be arsed.
What, not at all? No, I can't be arsed.
Why?Well, you're just gonna say the same things over and over again.
Like, just... No, I wanna squash it.
You had your chance to try and squash it there.
You just made me look like... made me look like more of an idiot.
No, I didn't. You did!
You've literally made me look such a fool. What?
You've made me look such a fool. Made you look like a fool?
Yeah.
Do you want to go talk about it, me and you?
Look, look, I am sorry. Do you want me to move?
Go where? You stay here.
HE SIGHS
What? Obviously, that wasn't ideal, watching that.
I don't think there was anything there that was new to you.
I've heard everything from Diamante. I've heard your side.
Yeah, I know!I would've seen it and thought, "OK, cool."
Then, the way you acted after that, you just made me look an idiot.
No, I haven't. Yeah, you have!
When I saw your bits and bobs,
saying you were very interested, all touchy-feely with Hugo, yeah...?
I wasn't touchy-feely... I was sitting on a beanbag!
Hugo, like, shut down that situation with you,
but it could've been a different story.
Hugo didn't shut anything down with me
because there was nothing to shut down!
I had two conversations with the boy.
You need to get it out your head. No, but I'm not...
No, no, no, what you need to do... In my head...
No, no, no, listen to me, listen to me, listen to me,
listen to me, listen to me. ..what could've been.
Let me talk, then, let me talk, then.
What could have been. Let me talk, then.
Do you know what I mean? That's what I'm asking.
Let me talk! I'm not accusing you of anything.
I just wanted to know. Because, from me...
If there was anything for you to see of me and Hugo... There was.
You were touching hands and, like, you know...
Oh! Oh! Touching hands?!
You were snogging Diamante all night.
Should've just brung Diamante back. Yeah.You should've.
HE SIGHS
Listen, I'll let you talk.
Whatever you need to say, just say it.
I don't really have much to say. You don't have anything to say?
No. Honestly, I just feel like an idiot.
Why? I just feel embarrassed.
Because the stuff you said, Wil, is hurtful to me.
Like what? What did I even say?
Wil, you watched the clip. You... Said that I was open?
No, you didn't say just you were open.
Wil, come on, it was...
I wouldn't be feeling this way for no reason. Right.
I think I'm allowed to have my head turned, though.
You're not honest. Just say that you've had a flirty conversation.
When I said to you that she said you...
That's not that flirty. That's just a conversation.
Why are you sitting there trying to argue back with me
and trying to embarrass me even more?
Just understand... I'm not trying to...
I'm not trying to.
I'm sorry for the way you feel, but at the end of the day, Uma, right...
"I'm sorry for the way you feel."
No! You should be sorry for making me feel that way.
You should be sorry for the way...
Yeah, I'm sorry for making you feel that way.
At the end of the day, I'm here for one reason -
that is to find someone.
And I pursued a connection that I potentially had,
and at the end of the day, I didn't want it, because I want you.
Everything I've done in this whole experience
has led me to the point I am now,
and I feel stronger for you now than I ever have.
I know, but it just makes me feel, like, insecure.
I just don't really, like... But why, though?
Had we have been in a relationship or closed off,
I would never have done anything like that.
I just don't understand the whole concept of him
trying to defend himself at this point.
The only thing he should have been saying right now is,
"I fucked up, and I'm sorry,
"and you're the only person that I care about."
How the hell am I supposed to trust anything that you say right now?
# Where did it all go wrong?
# Finding it hard to breathe
# But what if we carry on?
# When we know it's not... #
The festival's over, but the fallout's just beginning,
which is why I sneaked into the garden
and rearrange the illuminated letters "LI Film Fest"
to spell the phrase "I smell Tiff."
# Wanted you to see me cry Oh, baby... #
He acted like an idiot today. He knows that.
He was obviously on the defence because he's embarrassed.
You don't get to where I've got to if you're stupid.
No, of course you don't. No, of course you don't.
# Oh, baby It's so complicated
# So complicated... #
Are you sleeping outside? Yeah. Why?
Probably for the best. Why, though?
Right, night, everyone. Good night.
# Cos I thought You were meant for me
# No matter how much it hurts
# I guess we still have Our memories... #
You really messed up. Do you know what I mean?
Like, that's how I feel.
I feel like you don't recognise how hurt it's made me feel.
I am sorry.
Like, you just, like, explaining your way
isn't gonna take back the way that I felt.
Do you know what I mean? And I'm hurt.
# It hurts But I'm not losing control
# Oh, baby It's so complicated
# So complicated, baby
# I'm scared to let go
# It hurts But I'm not losing control
# Oh, baby It's so complicated
# But I'm scared to let go. #
IAIN: The Islanders reckon last night was the worst festival ever.
I don't think so, I once misread a flyer
and spent four days in a tent in Gloucesterbury.
# I see you burning in the fire
# The best I've ever seen
# You're caught up In your dreams... #
Did anyone enjoy last night, the festival?
Shittest festival I've ever been to.
Tilds, how are you doing? I didn't sleep too great.
I just can't believe that Ellie and Trey have gone.
Yeah, that was brutal.
And it's not nice to see people arguing either, but...
# Oh, but you kept me in the dark You waited at the park... #
I'm gonna be a good boy for the foreseeable.
Mimii. Morning.
Morning, Mimii. Hi, guys.
Morning. Morning, boys!
I've done a hat-trick on the daybed now, I'm done with it.
# Take another breath You're out of time... #
I'm just not in the fucking mood, to be honest.
Like, I just want to put it to bed now.
Wil, how is it with you?
Today, I think I just need to look at it more from a perspective
of how she's feeling.
Yeah, and just sort of make up for it, I guess.
# Make another bed for another life
# Promise me You'll make it up to me... #
I want to move past this,
like, I haven't been speaking to him at all.
He's lost that right to have you the way he had you before,
and that's gonna take a long, long time.
That's what I said to him. And he needs to know that.
Can I come in here? Is everyone decent?
Yeah. Yeah. Thank you.
# You can say You'll make it up to me
# Up to me, up to me, up to me
# Up to me, up to me
# Promise me You'll make it up to me. #
IAIN: Blade's with Grace.
I asked Blade if he did butler in the buff completely naked,
he said, "No, I wear a bowtie."
I said, "Oh, lovely, a bowtie round your neck?"
He said, "Who said it was round my neck?"
The comments that Joey made, like, last night,
I just think were so unnecessary
and just, like, not hurtful, but so untrue
because, you know, I've not once acted bitter
towards any of the situation, do you know what I mean?
I didn't think you have.
I'm not bitter about the situation at all,
like, I'm not a bitter person.
Grace, can we go for a little chat? Yeah.
I'll speak to you in a bit, babe. Yeah, catch you in a bit.
Obviously, there was, you know, words exchanged last night
and, er... you know, tensions were high,
but I just wanted to say, obviously, like,
I hope you know I still do care about you
and I don't want to see you upset.
I want you to be happy,
like, I am happy at the minute with Jessy and the way it's going.
Yeah, and I'm happy, I'm genuinely happy for you in that sense.
I just think, you know, what I saw was what I saw,
like, that didn't upset me
because I feel like it's been done for a while now,
do you know what I mean? And I took myself out of the situation
on the day I felt disrespected,
like, I literally said to you, "I'm done, and that's it for me."
I was very open to the fact that you wanted to get to know her,
but I think the fact that it all happened within,
like, a few hours of each other,
and you knew the next morning that I wouldn't have been happy
with the fact that you were kissing her in bed
and kissing her on the terrace. The only reason we ducked low
is because everyone come round here and started looking,
so that just happened.
And listen, we wasn't in a couple, we wasn't in a relationship.
What upset me last night was when you sat there and you were saying,
"Yeah, you were telling her one thing
"and then me the other, la, la, la." Like, I moved in the right way.
But you were. No, babe, I moved in the right way.
Joey, you didn't.
Honestly, like, I'm over the whole situation
and I just want to draw a line under it with me and you
cos I just feel like I would rather be civil with you.
I want to be friends with you, I don't know how you feel about that,
but, like, I would rather just be civil so it's just easier in here.
I've been civil with you, I've never been, like...
And, like, the whole bitter thing,
I've never, ever said anything bad about you,
I've never said anything bad about Jessy.
When I said, "This is done," I never argued with you,
shouted at you. I don't need to do that.
You know that I like you as a person, I have done, always,
so I want you to be happy.
I would never, ever want to take that away from you.
I appreciate that, thank you. And I want you to be happy,
and I hope, like, you and Blade really do work out.
And we can be friends. Good. That's what I wanted to hear.
Yeah, we can be friends.
Uma, can I borrow you, please? Mm-hm.
Got an ice cream for you as well.
Thanks. I actually don't really want it right now.
I didn't think you would,
I thought you might have if it was white chocolate.
I would have, yeah, you're right.
I don't want to leave this conversation unresolved.
No, same. I feel like we just take our time and get everything out.
Yeah. I also just want to start by saying I'm sorry for last night.
Mm-hm. I think I sort of might have just got my back up,
like, with sort of everyone shouting at me.
I don't really feel like it was the sort of time
for me to speak to you properly. Yeah.
Like, I don't want to be feeling hurt, but I am.
I felt like it was very much just us two,
and even after that conversation that you had with Jessy,
I know that wasn't the full conversation,
but you still said what you said.
In my defence, you were encouraging me to speak to her.
I was saying that cos I want you to be sure on me,
but then every single time that you would have a conversation,
you would come back and reassure me that I'm the one anyway.
But I feel like in that conversation, you're there saying,
"Oh, things could change, things might have already changed."
Yeah, there's always a chance for things to change, though.
It could have been the same for you in Casa.
My feelings then were a lot different to my feelings now,
like, that was, in my eyes, it was early days for us.
I was under the impression that we were saying the same thing,
but I think the way that I was saying I was open
was really different to the way that you were saying it.
Coming back in, I was so excited to see you,
and, like, I'm hurt from your actions.
That was never my intention, though. I know.
I didn't want that to happen.
I would never have moved the way I did
if we had been closed off or anything like that
because I would have been loyal to you. Mm-hm.
And I know what I want, fully,
and I want to be walking out of here with you. Mm-hm.
And I'll do what it takes.
I would leave now if you were to leave, you know.
I wouldn't be hanging around. I've found what I want in you.
Like before, when I first met you,
I'll be respectful of whatever feelings you have
and however long it takes you to come back around.
In the meantime, I'll reassure you as much as I can
to make you feel special because you are very special to me.
Really? Yes, of course.
I'm sorry.
I know. Can I squeeze your back, please?
Right now? Yeah. OK.
There's probably a few days' worth there.
To be fair, it looks quite clear. Might be from the sun.
I will make it up to you, don't you worry.
You know what I came here for
and you know what I wanted before you left.
It wasn't me that left things open, so...
You want to close things off with me.
Is that what you're saying? Yeah.
Obviously, you have to make me feel like I want to first,
but that's ultimately what I want, do you know what I mean?
So... Get grafting?
IAIN: Konnor's sitting with Emma, whose name is spelt E-M-M-A,
or if it's on a Love Island water bottle,
E - endless series of squiggles - then I think an A?
I was just checking in with you,
seeing how you think things are going. Yeah, good.
If you're happy with, like, the direction everything's going.
Yeah. I'm just not putting too much pressure on it at the moment.
Yeah, I agree with that.
Cos, like, sometimes, I don't know if I overthink things,
I think I am a bit of an overthinker sometimes,
but sometimes, I feel like I'll come over, like,
"Oh, yeah, I wonder what Emma's doing,"
like, I'll come and see what you're doing. Mm.
But sometimes, I feel like,
"Oh, maybe she doesn't come over and see where I am." Mm-hm.
Do you know what I mean? But that's probably just me overthinking.
I just wanted to check in with you and see if, like,
you were cool, that was all. Yeah, I'm cool.
But you're right, though,
maybe I'm probably not being the same way back, I don't know.
But, yeah, I probably am just being
a little bit of a slow burner with it, but...
Again, that's not a bad thing. Mm.
But I just thought, like, I was thinking this,
and again, I don't know if I was overthinking,
but I thought, it's definitely something
I wanted to speak to you about,
just to check to see if you were feeling good about everything. Yeah.
Things are going in a good direction,
I like the way it's going,
and I just think cos we've now had this conversation,
we both know where we stand, you know.
IAIN: Sean's still got some serious making up to do,
and judging by the position of that chastity battery pack,
the Candyman's definitely not getting any action today.
Oh, look. Where it all started.
Are you all right? Yeah, you?
How are you feeling today?
Mm... It obviously wasn't the best of nights,
and then, I don't know,
I just feel like it's just been one thing after another recently.
Yeah. It's not been nice.
I want to put you in a good mood.
And, obviously, last night, I thought I'd give you your space
and sort of stay on the daybeds.
Obviously, I missed you last night, staying out there on my own. Mm.
Did you miss me? Well, yeah, I had a really bad sleep, actually.
I know it sounds bonkers, but, like, seeing you around the villa
and not being close to you and not talking to you,
I've struggled with it.
Like, I want to make you smile, I want to make you laugh.
The whole thing has just made me question, like,
how genuine you are, how genuine you was before I went to Casa.
Like, the difference to sort of how you are
compared to sort of how you was is, like, crazy to me.
Prior Casa, we were both open.
I did explore connections
and the end result, like, none of them compare to you.
The way you've been
hasn't even made me feel like you've wanted to, like, try.
I made you a coffee. HE LAUGHS
That doesn't mean anything, it's your actual actions.
I do really like you, and I want you to know that.
And I want to be back in that warm bed, cuddling you and kissing you.
And I know you do, too. Mm. I dunno.
We're just gonna have to wait and see. Oh!
We are. If I feel this vibe again, then I will just be over it.
Really? Yeah.
Is this where we hug?
HE SIGHS
I missed you last night. Did you?
Yeah. I missed you lots. Hm.
He just, like, makes me laugh, it's really annoying
because, like, even when I'm trying to be serious,
it's so hard to be serious cos he just knows how to make me smile.
But I'm being strong. I'm gonna see how it goes
and let him do his graft and see how I feel after that.
TEXT ALERT Oh!
I've got a text!
What?
THEY SQUEAL
Who? Ahh!
Who is that? Bombshells!
Fuck off. Two boys? Jheeze!
Who? Reuben and Josh.
SQUEALS Shut up!
Oh, my God!
Two boys? Oh, my God, please be fit, please be fit.
Ooh, this is naughty business. Meem! Mimii-mi-mi-mi!
# I feel so free Yeah, I feel so free... #
I need to go and get ready. No, don't leave me.
Reuben and Josh... I mean, I'm excited for it,
but obviously, I'm really happy with Joey,
so it would take a lot to turn my head.
Let the games begin. Squeaky bum time.
LAUGHTER Reuben and Josh sound fit.
Reuben is a beautiful name. Don't touch me after that.
I'm joking.
Tell Reuben it's on.
Come on, mate. Go on, girl!
Mimii's on a date! Mimii's on a date! Mimii's on a date!
Mimii's on a date! Mimii's on a date!
I'm so happy. Yeah, I'm so happy, man.
Let's go get two men!
I don't care. What will be will be.
# No stopping Now that we've started... #
Enjoy.
GIRLS SQUEALING
# I feel so free
# Yeah, I feel free. #
# My love
# We were diamonds Now we're dust... #
IAIN: Mimii, Jessy and Uma are off on a date
with new boys Reuben and Josh.
Fortunately for Wil, Uma said she'd keep in touch by phone.
Unfortunately for Wil, his phone's broken.
I'm gonna have to look lit tonight.
The fact that there's more man coming in here
is just banter, like... You've got to remember
them boys are going to come in
and get to know all our girls as well anyway.
ALL CHANT:Reuben and Josh! Reuben and Josh! Reuben and Josh!
What's happening, Reuben? What's happening, Jooosshh?
Come on, Meems, here we go!
Which one do you think it'll be, Reuben or Josh?
She'll take them both! Both, literally both.
What are you thinking, bruv?
Might have to do press-ups tonight, like.
Meems, I hope he actually sweeps you off your feet, whichever one.
Whichever one you fancy the most is yours, girl.
You have got first dibs.
# There's a sweetness
# Then it's gone... #
Go and slay the day away.
ALL:Bye!
Bye, girls. Love you.
Love you, love you!
# Such a hard pill to swallow
# Pill to swallow-wallow-wallow... #
Goodbye! Bye. Enjoy.
MIMII, JESSY AND UMA:Bye!
Have fun.
Argh...
She had to just pop her head in
and show us how good she looked before she went.
# Our love didn't last But nothing does
# We're dust
# There was once a time
# When the world Would stop for us... #
Boys are stepping clean tonight.
You want to be back in your own bed tonight, mate, really, don't you?
Yep. It's on the cards.
Are you gonna speak to Sean tonight, Matilds?
Yeah, I will speak to Sean. We had a good chat.
# We're dust... #
Cheers to our three girls on a date with two new bombshells.
CHEERING
I feel like I've given it a go with Konnor now.
Don't get me wrong, the chats are so nice.
Like, he's a lovely person.
We're never short anything to talk about, ever,
but the spark isn't there.
There's no sexual chemistry. Like, I don't want to kiss him.
I'm not finding myself gravitating towards him, like...
With sexual connection and, like, chemistry, it shouldn't feel like...
It might come. It might come.
Yeah, if it's there, it's there.
If it's not, it's not. You know it. Yeah.
Exactly that. I feel like I'm gonna...
You're in the same boat. Yeah. It's so difficult
because I did initially feel like, in Casa,
I did gravitate towards him.
We had that initial spark, but I don't feel like...
there's that, like, proper flirty banter
where I'm, like, a bit nervous and excited,
and I've got butterflies,
and I feel, like, giddy to come and tell you girls
about the conversation... Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And in here, you know after a few days, like,
"Oh, my God," like, "He's a bit of me." 100%.
And we've got that respect for them,
so obviously we need to have a chat with them.
I genuinely feel like I just need to do it sooner rather than later
because it's unfair. Mm-hm.
End of the day... I'm being honest with myself. 100%, babe.
You're being honest with yourself. It's something we need to do. Yeah.
Be honest with them... And you can't go far wrong.
Yeah, exactly. They can't be angry about us being honest.
It's not like we've dragged this on and on and on and on and on.
It's just a feeling that we've felt,
and I think they both have an inkling.
IAIN: The girls are meeting the new boys
at Palma's famous bottle-top museum,
home to the world's largest bottle-top.
I've been three times this week already.
# I've come to the rescue... #
I'm Rueben, I'm 23,
and I'm an accounts assistant from Surrey.
I've been single for two years now,
and I'm ready to get back on that horse.
# I've come to the rescue... #
I'm Josh, I'm 29,
I'm a semipro footballer and a model,
and I'm from South London.
# Ooh, come to the rescue. #
# Right before the honey
# And I'm ready to go
# I got no money But I'm letting you know... #
Hi, boys.
Hello, ladies. How are you? Are you OK? Hi!
Good, how are you?
Yeah, good, thank you. And yourself? Good! You all good? Yeah?
Who's who? I'm Reuben. Reuben.
And I'm Josh. Nice to meet you guys.
Hi. Absolutely.
Podemos tener tapas para todos nosotros, por favor?
Si. Muchas gracias.
Are you Spanish, then? No, no. Oh!
Speak Spanish? Un pequeno.
REUBEN LAUGHS Are you bilingual?
I'm not bilingual at all, but I do understand my mother tongue.
What's that? What's that?
Yoruba. I'm Nigerian. Oh!
My dad's Yoruba. No way! Mm-hm.
OK. And you understand it? No.
No... LAUGHTER
So, where are you guys from?
In London, I'm from South London. And then...?
I'm from Surrey. Oh, thank you.
Tapas for all of us. It looks lovely.
How old are you guys? 'Ey!
LIGHTER LAUGHTER I'm 24.
You're 24? Mm. OK.
Twenty-five. Twenty-five, and...?
I'm 23. You're 23?
Yeah. OK.
How old are you two? Twenty-three.
And I'm 29. OK, so when's your birthday?
JOSH CHUCKLES December.
So, you're younger than me! Really?
So, what do you like about my girls?
I feel like you guys have got your eye on them.
Don't forget you, too. I know, but, I mean...
Yeah, don't forget yourself. You're a gorgeous girl as well.
I'm channelling the wing man. We don't leave any girl out.
We compliment all of you. Look, you're a lovely girl as well.
Thank you. You've got a gorgeous smile.
With you, the red dress, the eyes, for me, the eyes. Oh, wow!
The eyes, the eyes, the eyes! The eyes, the eyes, the eyes!
UMA AND RUEBEN LAUGH I'm not looking elsewhere.
I'm just stuck with the eyes. Do you know I mean?
That's lovely, thank you. And Mimii, with you, oh...
The bracelet, the white, the white's just...
it's doing its thing.
Tell me. You're open to getting to know someone new, right?
100%. Yeah?
I think... It was just difficult whilst I was in it
because I'm very much, like, a one-man woman,
d'you know what I mean? Yeah.
So for me to, like... I can't juggle too many people.OK.
Now that I've stepped out of that,
I'm very open to get to know new people.
D'you know what I mean? Yeah.
So that's why the timing is so correct right now.
Great timing for you, Mimii yeah. Mm.
# Your stars and mine
# Stars and mine. #
IAIN: Jess makes clothes for a living,
and Ayo's got all the usual questions
you might ask someone that makes clothes.
"Can you knit? Can you stitch?" And, of course, "Can you...?"
So... What?
New boys. What are you asking me?
I'm not asking you nothing. You know what I'm saying.
If I'm gonna want to potentially get to know the new bombshells,
is that what you're asking me?
SHE LAUGHS Ha!
Erm... I'm not gonna lie.
I think what we have is good. But there's better.
No. Fair enough.
Don't put wor... You're... HE LAUGHS
Can you let me speak? Don't speak for me. Let me speak.
OK. I'm really, really happy...
with how things are with us. Mm.
And I think it's not often that you click with someone straight away
the way we have. Yeah.
So I feel like it would take a lot for my head to turn.
And I feel like once I'm set, I'm pretty, you know, I'm solid.
Like, I don't really switch. Mm.
I don't think you have anything to worry about. OK.
I, like, love what we have. Yeah.
So I would never move in anyway, like, disrespectful about anything.
Put it this way, I wouldn't be giving other people
the same energy that I gave you when I first met you,
d'you know what I mean? Mm.
Like, I don't think the same energy would be there,
but I wouldn't be completely like, "No, don't talk to me."
D'you know what I'm saying? Mm-hm.
But naturally, you're gonna feel weird
when Mimii walks in here with another person,
d'you know what I mean? It is what it is, though.
And I hear that, and I've accepted that, but...
Well, I hope she walks in here on their shoulders.
SHE CHUCKLES
OK. Erm... HE GUFFAWS
That's saying something... HE LAUGHS
I hope she walks in here in a wedding dress.
Or like this... All right, then.
I love you, Ayo! HE LAUGHS
No, but you make me laugh, and, erm... Mm.
..you're so sweet, and, erm...
I don't know. I enjoyed your company, thoroughly.
Like, I really do, like, love being around you.
Just say you love me. HE SIGHS
Nah-hem. SHE CLICKS TONGUE
Wasting so much time. Big, innit?
Absolutely big. Ha-ha! Don't be like that!
Don't be like that.
SEAN:You all right? Hi!
You all right? Hello.
Want to go for a chat? Sure, where do you want to go?
To the den. Whatever it is. The den, the snug.
Sure. The little snug.
Come on, then, love. You all look beautiful tonight.
Aw!Aw, Sean! Thank you.
You do. Oh, thank you.
Yeah, you! Yeah, you!
You all right, love?
Yeah, you all right? Mm-hm.
You're looking good tonight. Thanks.
Bless him.
How are you feeling?
Yeah, I'm feeling a lot better than I did this morning. Good.
Cos, obviously, I was livid this morning.
Mm. It's been a bit of a setback, but I do want to get back on track,
and, like, I do really want to build on something
cos I feel, like, it can blossom into something beautiful, you know?
Mm. Do you think?
I do think so. I don't want anyone else.
I just want to focus on you, and kiss you.
HE CHUCKLES
SHE GIGGLES What?
Yeah, well, I feel the same, but I just, obviously...
I don't trust you yet. HE LAUGHS
Can you stop telling girls, like,
what sweets they are and everything now?
HE LAUGHS
Well, there's a watermelon slice around the fire pit.
That was funny. No-one laughed, though.
We've squashed it,
and I really just missed just being around you.
Mm. I missed you last night. Did you?
Kissing, like...
Why do you want to just kiss me so much?
# I won't wait this time
# No, not now, not again Not much longer... #
IAIN STIRLING: George and Reuben are starving.
No surprise - they've just spent a month in a Love Island holding pen,
eating dry ramen noodles out of the packet.
I'm not saying they were bored, but Reuben learnt Spanish.
So, what's your type, boys? All right.
I need someone that's bubbly energy, funny, and got good morals as well.
That's me. Mimii, I feel like what you bring
is exactly what I'm looking for, and it's been kinda hard for me
to see what's been going on with your situation. Aw.
Because I know that, you know, you deserve better than that. Thank you.
And I'm just happy I'm here. So... You're here now.
Yeah. Yeah. Knight in shining armour.
Yeah, knight shining armour, yeah. 100%, yeah. Yeah.
I think you just need, like, a shoulder to be there for you,
do you know what I mean?
Are you going to be that person? Definitely.
That's what you've got right here, you know? I'ma be real.
And being real, I personally think you're wasting your time. Do you?
I think you're wasting your time. That's a statement and a half.
To be honest, especially where I'm from... Mm? ..
That's not the right way to treat a woman. I'ma be real.
I completely agree. I'ma be real. I feel like I'm a better match.
How so? Because... Don't lie to me.
OK. Let's start. I'm a big character.
I don't take myself too seriously.
I don't care what other people think.
I know what I want. That's something I really like.
That... Someone who doesn't care about what others think too much.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sometimes, I feel like the boys are there just to impress the boys.
Mm-hm.See, that's not us. I don't think that's us, though.
Oh, no. But with me, I've grown up in a house
with two strong, independent women, so for me,
I've been taught how to treat a woman, how to respect a woman,
and I expect nothing less of my woman. D'you know what I mean? Wow!
Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. Love that. LAUGHTER
For sure. 100%. Honest. What your approaches, though?
Obviously, Uma is still coupled with Will.
Are you gonna go in there with a agenda?
Yeah, but you gotta step on toes.
Yeah. Are you prepared for that conversation with Will?
Yeah. Why wouldn't I be? Cool.
Wow. Another one. BOYS LAUGH
Another one. Another one.No, but honestly.
Like I said, I'm a man who knows what he wants.
GIRLS:Mm.
And I'm sure that everyone in the villa's man enough to understand it.
D'you know what I mean?
I would love to be a fly on the wall when you tell than that.
LAUGHTER Hey, Uma, Uma?
You can come sit next to me. GIRLS LAUGH
Oh, shit! Come sit next me,
and we'll have the chat right there and then.
Ooh, it is spicy talk. Wow!
I love an audience. Yeah, this is good.
No, I think it's nice that you're on the other side of the triangle, now.
Well, it's lovely. I love it up here.
LAUGHTER I wanna stay here forever.
No, but for sure, nah, I'm not worried about no-one. No.
You've gotta back yourself. Good to hear.
Mm. I know there's no-one like me around, let alone in this villa,
so... Let the games begin. GIRLS: Let the games begin.
UMA:Cheers to that, guys. Cheers to that.
LAUGHTER
IAIN STIRLING: Uh-oh. I think Emma might be planning
to wash her hands of Konner and blow him off.
Barber Konnor's seen it all before. It's your classic wash and blow.
Looking lovely. Thank you.
You walked through in the dress. I was like, "Damn, girl!"
HE LAUGHS Thank you.
I actually wanted to have a chat with you. Oh, yeah?
I just... Erm... I just ended up having a chat to Grace as well.
Yeah, yeah? Just, like... Stop saying, "Yeah, yeah."
No. Yeah, yeah. Cos I'm listening. Yeah, yeah. Erm... Yeah. I just...
I don't even know how to explain it.
I just feel like, obviously, it's been so, so...
I've really enjoyed getting to know you,
but I don't know if, like, for me, it maybe just isn't there.
Yeah. That's it. That's cool.
Like, you give it a go, and if it is there...
Like, for me, if something's naturally there,
you're gonna want to, like, look at someone,
or go over to them and stuff. Yeah.
And if it's not, it's not, and that's also fine.
D'you know what I mean? Yeah. That's also fine.
But it's annoying because, like, I've wanted to give it the time,
and I'm also not stupid enough to think, like,
"Oh, everything's just amazing," straightaway. Oh, no, of course not.
Yeah, yeah. You have to give things a chance. You have to try.
You have to work on things.
But, like, you just basically hit the nail on the head.
Like, if it's not naturally coming to me to feel that way.
Yeah. And I don't wanna...
Not waste your time, but waste your energy and waste your effort,
you are such an amazing person, so I'm just like...
It's annoying me, and I've been questioning myself... I think...
.. And, like, getting in my head about it. Like...
It's as simple as this. If you got a spark with someone, you got a spark.
Yeah. If the spark ain't there, it's not there. You can't force anything.
But I'm glad we've had this conversation. Yeah.
And I'm glad that you've... It would be easy for you to be like,
"Oh, OK, you know, maybe we'll give it another day.
"We'll give it another day." Yeah.
But if you know, you know. Mm-hm.
If they haven't got that spark, you ain't got that spark,
and that's absolutely fine, d'you know what I mean?
Yeah. Absolutely fine.
Stupid fucking spark, I'm sick of this word.
Come and give me a cuddle. Aw. Come and give me a cuddle.
I think things are going well between us, for sure. Yeah.
I suppose sometimes I'm just used to things moving a bit quicker,
like seeing a bit more affection reciprocated somewhat.Mm-hm.
You don't feel like the affection is reciprocated from my end?
Well, sometimes I feel like it is,
and then sometimes I feel like it's more like,
"Oh, I'm tired, I'm going to sleep."
Mm-hm. And there was definitely, like, that initial attraction.
That initial, like,
I wanted to get to know you more than any of the other boys.
And, like, I wanted to bring you back here,
and I've genuinely enjoyed getting to know you so much.
Yeah, it's been fun.
You have so many qualities that, like,
there's not that fire to want and kiss and cuddle.
Well, cos normally, that's me. Yeah.
Normally, like... That is me as well.
Normally, if I'm sharing a bed with someone,
I can't wait to get my hands on them.
Since I'm sharing a bed with you, since that...
And that's not happening, I'm questioning, why is that?
Why is that?
But I kind of feel like, as I've gotten to know you more, for me,
is it that I'm enjoying getting to know you,
and it's come to a friendship?
Instead of it being, like, that spark to want to, you know...
Take my clothes off. Mm.
Yeah, I see what you're saying. It's a tough one.
I think both of us just don't feel that sexual spark,
and, yeah, it's just a conversation that I needed to have,
and I'm just glad that it's been done now.
Well, enjoy your night. I'm glad we've spoken.
All right, then, yeah. Sure, sure. Mwah.
I'm just gonna go and, like, see the girls and, you know.
Cool. All right, I'll catch up with you in a bit, yeah?OK, bye.
How was your conversation, Konnor?
Erm, we're just gonna be mates now.
What? What?! What did I miss in this building?
Well, basically, I picked up over the last few days, like,
it's always me going over to her to say, "Are you OK?"
But you know when you can't feel it fully being reciprocated?
Regardless, like, I'm happy, cos I'd rather not waste my time,
do you know what I mean?
WHISPERS:Listen, listen.
Even before we knew the new lads were coming in,
I pulled Emma for a chat earlier,
because I felt that something was maybe not missing,
but it was more me than her.
So that's why I thought I'd address it
and see where her head was at.
And she said, "Oh, yeah, maybe I am a bit of a slow burner."
That's a copout. They're saying it's a copout.
BLADE: What you saying, boys. You all right?
How you doing, Blade? Blade, join the boat, bro.
Right, basically... What's happened?
No, we're just, like, we're going along really well,
but I think both our guts were feeling like maybe
that spark that we had in Casa Amor,
is it really as strong as it was then?
And that was it. Did you feel like it was one-sided?
In terms of what, her letting me down?
I feel like you was into her.
I am very much into her, but at the same time...
If it's not being fully reciprocated,
you can't fully go into it.
I personally could tell that I don't think she...
She weren't reciprocating it at all.
Mm, mm. Do you know what I'm saying?
IAIN: Reuben and Josh loved their meal.
Reuben had tortilla patatas bravas, while Josh had egg and chips.
I mean, it was the same dish,
but, ooh, Reuben knows how to say it in Spanish!
Oh, my gosh. You guys came in at a really, really great time.
I don't like the vibes right now. LAUGHTER
BOTH: We're back! They're back!
They're screaming like that, are they?
Love Island 2024, baby! What you saying? What you saying?
Guys... Was it good? Yeah.
I'm good. Reuben, nice to meet you, man.
What's happening? You all right, bro?
Reuben. Nice to meet you.
How was it? So good, babe.
Was it good, yeah? Yeah.
Come on, let's go over here, guys.
Oh, my god! Oh, my god! Oh, my god!
Yes, boys. I tell you what,
let's get us in the middle, get us in the middle. Oh!
Right, talk to us, boys.
I'm Reuben, I'm 23, I'm from Surrey,
and I'm an accounts assistant.
I'm Josh, I'm 29, I'm from South London,
I'm a semi-pro footballer and a model as well, so, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. LAUGHTER
Revenge is sweet! LAUGHTER AND SCREAMING
I'm not joking, guys.
Why? It was... It was... They come with energy.
Shut up. So much energy.
Wow. Big energy.
And they're gorge. Like, they're ten-ten.
How was the date? Oh, mate, I can't lie.
Mate, unbelievable. Obviously, they explained the situations.
They're not the most happy at the minute.
Talking about Mimii and Uma? Yeah.
They said they were open.
But the vibe that, yeah, they were open to getting to know us as well.
And obviously, we're gonna intend to do the same thing.
So, we went to, like,
a bar-restaurant, outside garden thing.
But first of all, like, Josh is my type. Yes!
Guys, when I tell you,
that's exactly what I needed to remind me who I am.
ALL:Yes! Really?
Yes, baby!
They were like, the compliments,
they were literally going in on everything.
They were, like, the energy was next...
They were coming with confidence.
You needed this. I'm so surprised at how well it went.
Definitely, I would say, Mimii is my type.
100%. The way she carries herself.
I think she's been unlucky, how she's had a situation.
I would have taken it a bit different.
I'd say for me, I think Uma is a stunning girl.
Like, I wanna get to know her and just see.
It too soon to say, but the date,
I'm not gonna lie, it went really well.
Like, Josh for Meems, and then Reuben for me.
So thank you to the Love Island girls!
Thanks so much, man... Girls, I'm so happy for you.
ALL AGREE Really happy.
I'm so happy, man.
What's going on with you lot, though? What your situations?
I was with Mimii... Yeah. ..things were going sweet.
Naturally, Casa happened... Yeah, yeah.
..I met someone, so that's spun out the way it has,
and we're here, so... Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I came in, and then straightaway sort off hit it off with Uma.
Casa came, done a few things.
We want to be with each other, so we're gonna work through it.
Guys, they said you girls should never have been treated that way.
ALL CHEER They went hard!
Yeah, they said... Guys, he's gorgeous.
Yeah, we want to get known by some of the girls.
See you later. My boy! Come on.
LAUGHTER
Lovely meeting all you boys, come on!
Come on! Let's go!
Ladies! How are we doing?
I like them. They're like a double act. Yes!
These two are flying in the villa, bruv. They ain't wasting no time.
'Aye, keep smiling, girls. Keep smiling!
I'll take that all day.
Right, bye, guys. Let's go. Enjoy!
Let's see you. Sit in the middle. Go on, boys.
Hi! Hello, hello.
I'm Jess.
Lovely to meet you. What's your name?
Reuben. Reuben.
Hi, I'm Grace. Reuben.
Nice to meet you. Lovely to meet you.
What's your name? Josh, Josh. Nice to meet you.
How are you doing? What's your name? Jess, lovely to meet you.
Emma, nice to meet you.
They're loving life, mate. They are loving life.
You're like a double act, you two, as if you've known each other years.
Mate, the absolute chemistry. Matching and everything.
Listen, it's just good vibes, man, good vibes. Come on.
Them boys are lively, though.
Mate, lively. We were just saying that.
What's everyone's situations?
I'm coupled up with Konnor. It's more friends vibes, so...
Oh, OK. Yeah.
So you're saying you're on the market now?
Yeah, lots of new very fresh changes to be honest. I'm being very honest.
There's lots going on. Very, very fresh changes. Yeah.
So, I'm coupled up with Blade, and it's a bit bizarre,
but we're literally in the...
Same boat. ..same boat.
Oh, OK. OK, yeah, yeah, yeah.
What's your usual types? Cos I'm just curious.
Erm... Confident, funny.
I don't take myself too serious cos I think I'm the same.
Yeah, you can't take yourself seriously.
So I need someone like that as well. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Definitely.
Yeah, I'd probably say the same. Like, confident, intelligent.
I know what I want in a woman,
so I know I'm gonna go and get it if I want it.
D'you know what I mean?
He seems like he's into Uma. Yeah, he does, but...
How do you feel about that? We'll see. We'll see.
We'll see how she acts. Do you know what I mean?
We heard that you boys have been giving them a bit of a grilling.
Mm. Yeah. You had a lot to say about...
I mean, yeah, definitely. Say it louder.
I feel like I would've done the situation differently,
erm, in certain ways. Yeah, likewise.
I think the way people have gone about things
haven't been the best.
I personally wouldn't have gone about it that way.
In my opinion, I think the difference
between a boy and a man is the way you go around things,
do you know what I mean?
So, I think...
not a lot of men in here.
# I am fuel to the fire
# I dance in the flames... #
I know... I've been raised how to treat a woman,
and there is a way of being respectful.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So... I love that.
# I am fuel to the fire... # LAUGHTER
# I dance in the flames
# Tell me, who will save you now?
# Cos I'm gonna take you down... #
Bombshells! Bosh!
I tell you, I tell you what, look, I don't think you've seen
a more handsome duo, you know what I mean?
Baby. Fucking hell!
# Am I gonna break your heart? #
