MUSIC: 'Kimbara' by Barry Can't Swim
IAIN STIRLING: Glorious sunshine, spectacular coastlines,
and in case you lot in Britain are wondering
what that sparkly blue stuff is,
that's actually what the sea looks like
when it isn't full of raw sewage.
Yes, we're back, and for the next eight weeks,
everyone's favourite villa will be home to our Islanders.
Except on Saturdays, when we sublet the communal bedrooms
to the local S&M club for their weekly orgy.
I'll provide the drinks and smacks... I mean snacks.
And as ever, this place has it all -
the luxury pool, the fully fitted kitchen,
the firepit and a thrilling, exciting,
brand-sparkly-new Hideaway.
We'll be seeing a lot more of that room this year.
Once again, our Islanders will all be wearing
loads of pre-loved and recycled clothing.
It's such a great idea, and to show my support,
I personally have donated three pairs of old gym socks
and a broken jockstrap.
Right, let's get this show on the road
by saying hello to some Islanders, starting with Nicole and Ayo.
Ayo, mate, sorry, but the child lock's on,
so you'll just need to improvise.
Hello, I'm Nicole! Hey.
What's your name? Ayo.
# Quimbara, cumbara, cumba-quimbamba
# Quimbara. #
Oh-ho! Oh, my...
NICOLE SQUEALS
Oh, my days. Here we go.
AYO LAUGHS
Oh, look at the flamingos. This is sweet.
Look at the beds! Oh, fab!
This is so lush. Unreal.
NICOLE GASPS Firepit!
Oh, my God.
Oh, this is so cute. This is quality.
Shall we get a drink? Yeah, definitely.
Oh, are we the first ones in? It's looking like it.
We're the first ones in! AYO LAUGHS
We've made it.
Oh, jeez, yeah!
NICOLE LAUGHS Let's get this open.
Oh. Do you want to do it? Yeah. Let's get this going.
CORK POPS Whoa!
NICOLE LAUGHS
Oh, this is so... Ooh.
NICOLE LAUGHS
Spilling it everywhere already. Yeah.
I don't really drink. NICOLE LAUGHS
Right, cheers. Cheers.
Cheers to being the first ones in. Cheers to being the first ones.
This is so nice.
Oh, my God, I'm on Love Island!
# Say it to me, love... #
My name's Nicole Samuel.
I'm 24 and I'm from Aberdare in the Valleys.
I'm an accounts manager for a family-run business.
# How do you wanna be loved? #
My dad just doesn't know what to do with me.
Half the time,
I'm gallivanting to different countries.
He's like, "Are you going to work today?"
And I'll be like, "No, I'm in Marbella!"
# Say it to me, love... #
I've probably got to know a lot of the Valleys boys,
all the rugby boys, my type.
But now I'm going further afield.
I've been single for four long years.
I'm ready to actually find somebody who's tidy.
I'm excited. I just want to get in there now.
# How do you wanna be loved?
# Say it to me, love. #
Where are you... Where are you from?
NICOLE LAUGHS
Where are you from? We're in sync here!
I know! Where are you from?
I'm from East London. Canning Town. Oh, nice! Sick.
Yeah. What about you? I'm from South Wales.
South Wales? Yeah. Welsh girl.
What's over there? Like, sheep and...
Ah! No! Sorry.
AYO LAUGHS Me! I'm over there!
AYO LAUGHS
No, it is small. Yeah.
But It's lush. So lush. Yeah?
OK. I need to pay a visit. Yeah.
What's your type, then?
What do you look for when you're going...
Tall, dark and handsome.
Oh, bloody hell. We've won!
AYO LAUGHS, NICOLE SQUEALS
We've won, it's over.
My name's Ayo.
I'm 25, a model, and a semi-professional footballer.
# What are we waiting for? #
I'm 6' 6". I do get attention while I'm out.
Girls like my smile. The height, of course.
It's a lot of height!
I can be cheeky,
and I do enjoy a flirt with the right woman.
But I don't usually have to say too much.
I've never really had competition!
I don't think I get jealous. I somewhat get jealous.
Yeah, let's just say it. I get jealous.
My type is pretty much based off a vibe, I'll be real with you.
It's the eye contact that does it for me.
A pretty face, can't go wrong with, as well, so, yeah.
# Waiting for
# What are we waiting for? #
I'm very much a gentleman.
We're talking about opening doors,
we're talking about pulling the chair out.
That's a lost art in this day and age.
I am looking for love
because I feel like the feeling of love is unmatched.
I don't think there's anything like it.
# What are we waiting for? #
What, erm, do you do for work?
Er, me? I model. Are you?! Lush!
And I play football part-time as well.
Do you? Yeah.
Nice. What about you? What are you doing?
Well, like, just running my dad's family business. It's nice.
Wow. Yeah.
He's got you running it?
I know! AYO LAUGHS
I don't know what he's got trust in me for. No.
Must be the brains. Yeah. Yeah, I actually have...
I might not look it, but I have got a bit of brains.
Love that.
You don't look like you should be behind a desk, to be fair, so...
No. Don't you think?
No. Good, I'm glad you said that.
Look at you.
BOTH LAUGH
NICOLE SQUEALS
Don't get arrogant. Blushing.
Is it love that you're looking for, or just, er? Yeah.
Just waiting for somebody now, so this was like... I feel you.
..a perfect opportunity to come in.
I feel like it's going to be a good summer.
Oh, this is gonna be unreal. Cheers to that!
Look at where you are right now. BOTH LAUGH
# I don't want you ever To forget about us... #
IAIN: Time to meet some more Islanders,
that's Jess, Sam and Sean.
They're a bit late, cos of a low bridge on the way here
and Sean banged his head, bless him.
# I don't want you ever To forget about us
# Forget about us... #
# I'll take it all for us... #
My name's Jess, I'm 25.
I work as a retail manager for Marks & Spencer's.
The best thing about it is obviously staff discount and Percy Pig.
# Just kiss me... #
I've been single for two years.
I've had a few dates here and there, but nothing too serious.
And there's not that many people left in the dating pool.
# I'm only here to do whatever... #
So I do like a pretty boy,
but you have to have really nice shoes and a good watch.
Hate lateness.
I think I'm just very picky, actually.
Now I'm saying things out loud.
# Get up, just kiss me... #
I'm probably like a Creme Egg.
Hard on the outside and then, like, gooey on the inside,
but you have to get to that gooey bit first.
I'm just looking for the same person as me, just not as funny,
in a male version. That would be my dream.
# Get up, just kiss me. #
Oh, look at it!
Oh, my God! Oh, shit!
Look at the colours, I love that.
What's going on? Oh, my God!
Hello! How are we? You OK?
Wowzers! Hi, nice to meet you. You look amazing.
You're so pretty. And you. What's your name? Nicole.
Nice to meet you, what your name? Ayo.
How's it going, all right?
Are you OK? Yeah, not bad, what's your name?
Nicole. Nicole.
What's your name? Sean.
# Finally it has happened to me... #
Oh, Pina coladas, look at that. All that's missing is the birds!
I'm Sean Stone, I'm 24, I'm a sweet salesman from Hertford.
I own my own sweet company. Always on first date,
they always get a bag of sweets and they absolutely love it.
I'm not even joking.
# Finally... #
When we used to deliver all our goods,
one lucky lady wanted more than sweets,
so yeah, she got the sweet deed!
# Finally... #
My best feature is definitely my smile.
Who wouldn't love this?
I'm quite an old romantic, as it goes.
I'm going into the Villa to find the girl of my dreams.
I'm good-looking, I've got great chat,
birds in bikinis is like my heaven. Sweet heaven.
# Yeah, yeah, yee, ow... #
What does everybody do for a job?
Do you want me to start? I'm an account manager.
I run, like, a family business. Brains AND the beauty, hey?
LAUGHTER
Look at him already! He's already started.
What about you?
So, I sell sweets for a living. Do you?
What's your favourite sweet? Fizzy peach.
Fizzy peach! I'm not a fan of fizz, you know.
How I like my women, do you know what I mean?
Oh!
So yeah, just been doing that online, so that's...
So is that your own thing, then? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sweet. I own my own company. So yeah.
Sound.
What do you do? I'm a hairdresser.
GASPS Are you? We know where to go now.
You shouldn't have said that. You're gonna regret that.
So, yeah, I specialise in women's hair.
Oh!
Forget the boys, isn't it, just cut the women's hair.
# Oh, I feel happy now... #
I'm Sam, I'm 23, I'm a hairdresser, and I'm from Chesterfield.
I have been single for six months.
My last relationship, it was actually with a client.
# Happy now. #
People do think I'm a bit of a fuck boy,
just because of how I am and the way I look. I'm really not.
# I hope you are happier... #
I think my job definitely gives me
a bit of an advantage over other lads.
I normally go up to them and say something about their hair,
or about what they're wearing. Girls don't really expect it.
I would say I get on with girls way more than I do lads.
If all fails, I could just offer them a blow-dry.
How is everyone enjoying single life, though? How's it been?
Do you know, when I broke up with my boyfriend
I feel like you need that time, don't you?
If this was to come around two years ago, I was feral.
Like, feral to a classy degree, can I just point out? Not in that way!
LAUGHTER How do you mean that, though?
I was just going out all the time, with my friends and stuff.
Cos you don't do that, do you, in a relationship?
IAIN STIRLING: Next to hit the villa, it's me!
Finally, it's my moment in the spotlight, my chance to shine...
Oh, no, hang on. I've read that wrong.
It's Mimii and Samantha. Oh, my gosh! Hi!
# I'm vanilla, baby
# I ain't no killer, baby
# 28, telling me I'm still a baby
# I got love from Detroit Like Skilla Baby
# Only thing about your boy is
# I don't like no whips and chains And you can't tie me down... #
Oh, my gosh! Oh, my God!
It's two girls. Boys, stay behind.
Oh, my gosh. Hi! Oh, my God!
Nice to meet you. Samantha.
What's your name, darling? I'm Mimii. What's up? Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you. Hello. Nice to meet you. How are you doing?
I'm good. You good? What's your name? Ayo.
Michelle. Mimii. Lovely. Mimii.
Crazy! Nuts, isn't it?
You look good, though. Thank you. So do you.
# My, oh, my This my kind of night... #
I'm Mimii, I'm 24, I'm a mental health nurse
and I'm from Portsmouth.
I do have a history of being a crazy girlfriend,
but that was in the past.
Y'all trying to get me in trouble. Cut the cameras.
What I do with guys, I'll note behaviour that they've done,
give them a diagnosis in my head
to the point where anything they do now gives me the ick.
And then suddenly, I'm ghosting them.
Dating in Portsmouth has been treacherous.
There's no-one there for me. This might just be my only hope.
I like a tall man, I like a guy that knows how to dress,
and is the leader of the group. I like a alpha.
I want to be married and have kids by 30.
Which means I need to meet my man, like, tomorrow.
Please, Love Island, give me my man. I'm ready for my man.
So, two newbies, two newbies to grill.
Yes, what do you do for a job? I'm a make-up artist. Yes!
We've got a hairdresser and a make-up artist.
What's everyone's type, then? Tall, dark and Cockney.
Oh, my God! How unreal is this? I'm so excited.
# Watch me work it, I'm perfect... #
Hi, I'm Samantha, I'm 26 and I'm a make-up artist from Liverpool.
I'm definitely very glam, very bubbly.
I always get told that I look like Abbey Clancy
and it's not a bad person to be compared to. I will take that.
I've been single now for about eight months.
My type is definitely a Cockney.
I love it when they're like, "What's happening? You all right?"
I can be laughed into bed, I'm not gonna lie.
If someone's gonna make me laugh,
I'm just gonna enjoy their company more
than someone that's good-looking but a bit of a wet wipe.
# Watch me work it, I'm perfect... #
I'm not a slow burner, I fall in love at the drop of a hat.
I'm definitely ready now to settle down.
I've got friends that are changing nappies
and I'm going on Love Island.
How long have you been single for? About eight months. What about you?
Over a year. Since last March.
We were together and then it was on and off. Yeah.
They're never good the on-and-off things, are they?
And he did a bit of cheating. Stinky!
Have you ever cheated? No, I haven't.
Have you ever cheated? What? You know what...
Have you ever cheated? I've cheated before, yeah.
It wasn't the full shebang, it was just a kiss on a night out.
Drunk and that.But you didn't answer. Have you cheated?
ALL LAUGH No, I haven't, I haven't.
# For your love... #
IAIN STIRLING: OK, guys, I just want to check
none of the new lot escaped during the ad break.
Can we make sure they are all still here?
One, two, three, four.
Five, six and... seven.
Yep, we're all good.
# For your love... #
And three more Islanders are on their way.
By the way, if you're the chancer who nicked all the car reg plates
and replaced them with stickers,
rest assured the police have been informed.
Oh, what's your name? Ronnie.
Nice to meet you. Patsy.
Ciaran. Nice to meet you.
# For your love. Oh-oh... #
IAIN STIRLING: Anyway, this is Ronnie, Ciaran and Patsy.
# For your-your-your. #
I'm a fiery redhead Sagittarius
and I'm here to fuck shit up basically.
I'm Patsy, I'm 29, I'm from Orpington
and I'm an office administrator.
I'm a bit... loud one in the group. The one who does all the dares.
And a few slut drops on the dance floor.
SHE LAUGHS
I have been single three years now.
I have had a few situationships. I just get bored easily.
I like guys with hands-on jobs.
Plumbers or builders or roofers.
Scaffolder, maybe.
I do have a disability, it's called Erb's palsy.
My right arm is just a little bit smaller than my left one.
But it doesn't define me.
I'm not scared to step on toes.
When I see what I want, I will pounce, basically.
A little lioness.
I'm praying I have somebody quickly wife me up, cos I am going grey.
So it needs to be soon.
Oi-oi!
SCREAMING
Hello! Aw!
Oh, hello. Hi.
Fuck, look at the blonde near the front!
Hi, doll, are you OK? Hello.
Nice to meet you. I'm Samantha.
Samantha, nice to meet you. I'm Patsy.
I'm Ciaran. Sorry, I just stood on you.
Hey, are you OK?Settling in. Are you OK? Settling in.
I'm Mimii. Hello.
.
I wish I went to the gym, boys.
LAUGHTER
You're looking fresh, man.
# Yeah, I heard you were Looking for me
# I heard you were looking For me... #
What's happening, girl, are you all right?
# Got eyes on me... #
I'm Ronnie. I'm a semi-pro footballer from south-east London.
# I heard you were looking for me
# Yeah, I heard you were looking For me... #
I've scored a few in my time,
but off the pitch I think I've scored a few more.
# Backflip, front flip Watch this trick... #
I'm 100mph.
My friends would describe me as a turbo.
Turbo Ronnie.
My cheekiness and my smile goes a long way.
The height always helps.
I'm a proper geezer, yeah. It works on the ladies.
When I get into that villa, you're gonna see the turbo side of me,
it's gonna be carnage.
# Ooh. #
So, I'm Ronnie.
South-east London. Nice.
You're from... London boy!
LAUGHTER
How old are you? Sorry. 27. 27.
When's your birthday? July 17th.
Oh. What are you getting me?
LAUGHTER
I'm Patsy, I'm 29.
And I am from Orpington, Bromley kind of way,
don't know if you know...
But, yeah, just to let you know,
if anyone thinks I'm gonna be the mummy of the group cos I'm 29,
I'm definitely not gonna be the mummy of the group.
I'm Ciaran, 21. And I'm from South Wales. You're 21, are you?
Yeah. You're 21! I know! Fresh out of the womb.
CIARAN LAUGHS
I've got a feeling I might be the youngest now.
Everyone was shocked there, so...
# I don't believe in love At first sight... #
I'm Ciaran, I'm 21. I'm a surveyor from Pencoed in South Wales.
# The way you look at me Is changing my mind... #
I've been single just over a year now.
I've been getting out and about, enjoying myself.
But now I think it's time to settle down.
I'm a bit of a Welsh dragon, you know,
got a bit of fire, a bit of passion.
A lot of ladies do love the Welsh accent.
They can't get enough of it.
I'm more successful with the older women.
The eldest I've ever been with,
I think it was 42 when I was 18 years old.
# The way you look at me Is changing my mind... #
I back myself and I go for what I want.
# What you said to me last night Goes round my head, like. #
What's your type? My type is... I don't know.
It used to be, I used to love blonde girls with massive boobs.
Look at her face, she's like, "Come on!"
Cheers to that!
Yeah! "I'm well in." That's me, so, yeah.
My type was tall, dark and Cockney, but...
Not any more.
Go on, I've got a question for everyone, then.
Last relationship, how long did it last?
So, I've been single for two years.
And I was in a relationship for four years.
Right, anyway, your turn, go on. Shut up! Oh, really?
I was in a relationship for, like, eight, nine months, I think it was.
And I've been single for, like, a year and half. So...
Don't really count, though, does it, eight months? Does that count?
Yeah, it does count. I think she'll think it counts.
Nah, less than a year doesn't count. That's still at the talking stage.
Eight months, talking stage?! That's still at talking stage.
Thank you, yeah. Anything else, or done?
No, no, that's it, that's all I'm saying.
HE GUFFAWS
IAIN STIRLING: You might think the last two Islanders
have taken ages to arrive.
But as we know, less than a year doesn't count.
Anyway, they're here now, so, let's welcome Munveer and Harriett.
Hello, how are you? You all right? Good.
I'm Harriett. Mwah. Nice to meet you. What's your name?
Munveer. Lovely to meet you.
# I won't let you go I swear, baby, you'll never leave. #
Oi-oi! Take a look at this. Hello!
Wahey! Oh, there's more.
Oi-oi! Hello.We have to walk round here.
Let's say hello, anyway. How you doing, you all right?
What happening, son? What's your name, mate?
Munveer. Munveer. I'm Ciaran, nice to meet you.
Ciaran, nice to meet you, man. Hi, I'm Harriett. Nice to meet you.
Hello, I'm Nicole! Are you OK? I'm Ciaran. Did you say Harriett?
Harriett, yeah. Man, you good? Yeah, nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you, brother. You all right? Sam.
Sam, Munveer. Nice to meet you, Munveer.
Harriett? Jess. Jess, nice to meet you.
Where you from? Brighton. I'm Liverpool.
Where you from, blud? London, south west.
South west? Yeah, so... How many Londoners are there?!
CORK POPS Ooh!
# Girl You're my lil boo thang... #
I'm Munveer, I'm 30 years old, from Surbiton, and I'm a tech recruiter.
HE CLAPS All right, here we go, here we go.
Out of 10, I rate myself a solid 11.
Good barnet, good teeth, dress well, good job, the full package.
And being Indian, a little bit of spice.
# And a little something fresh I know... #
I've been single for just under 12 months.
Signed up to Hinge. Over 150 matches now.
Fair to say it's going well. LAUGHS
# Girl, I know... #
I've turned 30 years old, I'm ready for the next step.
I've turned to the Island to hopefully find the one.
# Tell 'em I'm next... #
I was born on Valentine's Day, so I'm a lover-lover by nature.
When I get into the villa, I'm gonna be playful,
naughty, cheeky - no-one's safe.
# Tell 'em I'm next Tell 'em you found
# A lil' something too fresh I know. #
Do you want to do your types? Do types?
We've done our types. Do you want to go first?
Yeah, but mine's just so cliche, like, I didn't want to say.
It was just tall, dark and handsome.
I feel like everyone's probably said that.
Oh, we've heard that one. LAUGHTER
No, no, but guys, guys, it's never worked out for me,
so maybe I need to try something different.
# I'm coming in hot... #
I'm Harriett, I'm 24, and I'm a dance teacher from Brighton.
I've been single for four months, but I'm honestly so bored of it.
I need to find a man. # You're gonna love me... #
On the side, I also do luxury shopping.
I shop for a lot of rich people, famous people.
I shop around and spend all their money.
A lot of clients are rich businessmen - exactly my type.
# I'm a five-course meal Made to make you look... #
I'm quite competitive. If I see a guy I like,
then it's me and no-one else.
My dad would say I'm definitely the princess.
Every morning, he goes downstairs, puts the milk in my coffee
and turns my car around the right way, so I can set up my day right.
# Yeah, I'm coming in hot... #
I'm definitely a girl's girl, but I can definitely take a girl's guy.
I always get what I want. # Yeah, I'm coming in hot. #
How long we been single for? Have we done that?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Do that, that's better.
Erm... Three years. I've been single for four months.
Have you? Weren't expecting that!
Guys, wait, guys, I've got an idea.
Can we go round and say, like, our biggest ick?
Mummy's boys. I don't mind a little bit of a mummy's boy,
but when you think, "How can I even compete with your mother?
"Who do you want to be with, me or your mum?"
Mine would probably be, like, a boy that just follows the boys.
Like, make your own decisions. You want a man's man, yo.Mm-hm.
Guys, this is such a random one.
Like, I feel like no-one talks about this enough.
But it's, like, somebody who doesn't like water.
What?! No, fair.
Wait, drinking? A shower or what?
No, like, no, no, no, like, drinking water.
Like, wake up in the morning, you're not having a full-fat Coke.
I thought you meant going for a swim!
Do you know what I mean, like?
Mine would be if you take a girl out for dinner, and then, like,
they get their food in front of them and they put the flash on
to film it on their story. COLLECTIVE GROAN
I mean, like... We're all doing that, though.
One, two, three, four! Yeah, guilty, very much.
Oh, man, just eat your food. LAUGHTER
# Look at my body Look at my body... #
IAIN STIRLING: So, we've got 12 Islanders.
The one thing we need now is some drama.
And you know what they say - if you want some drama, bring on a Jama...
Maya Jama.
# I'm so sick of these rules I'mma take what I do, I'mma take it
# Look at my body, look at my body Look at my body, look at my body
# Think about that, eyes on my While I make money
# Look at my body, look at my budget Look at my body, sorry not sorry
# Look at my body Look at my lips, eyes on my
Look at my body. #
MAYA: Hello, everyone! ISLANDERS SQUEAL
Oh, my God, hi! She's cute. She's unreal!
Oh, my God. Hello, everybody.
Welcome to Love Island. CHEERING
IAIN STIRLING: The Islanders can't believe that
Maya Jama just walked into the villa.
Have they not seen show one before?!
And she's got some big news for them.
MAYA: I think we should have a little game to get things going.
Ooh! Are you up for that?
Yeah! Let's do it.
All right, follow me, and we'll split into boys and girls.
# I'm not afraid of falling
# Falling
# Falling... #
All right, so you've already started to get to know each other.
So, you guys have had enough time for first impressions, right?
Yeah. Yeah.
Well, first impressions count.
So, boys and girls,
I now want you to rate each other in order from who you think
has come across the most like boyfriend and girlfriend material,
right down to who is giving the least relationship vibes.
Oh, my God.
# Are we fighters Or are we lovers? #
All right, girls, let's start with you, then.
Please place the boys left to right in order of who you think looks
most like boyfriend material and who you thinks looks the least.
Off you go.
OK, right. Any ideas?
This is so bad!
I feel like the red shorts is quite sweet...oh, but he cheated!
No, he cheated! I know, but he is quite sweet.
He is giving quite sweet boyfriend vibes.
Boys, look nice, smile and that! LAUGHTER
Getting a few looks, me. Is it?
Pink shorts, he's got the tattoos, which could be a bad boy.
And black shorts, but he needs to go near the front
because he's quite charming, gives good boyfriend...
Do they realise we can hear them?! THEY CHUCKLE
Go on, speak a bit louder! LAUGHTER
All right, girls?
It is now time for one of you to decide where the boys will line up.
OK, right, let's go, then. Off you go, Patsy.
Here we go, right, OK, so, weirdly, you are actually number one,
you are in order!
Well done, girls! LAUGHTER
And, as luck would have it, you are actually in order as well.
Who was number three? End!
Oh! Really?!
Right, OK.
So, you have been selected. Oh!
Right, then, you need to come here. Ooh!
OK, the London guys, yeah!
And then if you two could just swap round for me.
That was perfect, perfect.
"That looks perfect", she says, perfect!
So, girls, you think
the boy who is giving the most boyfriend material is Munveer.
But what is it about him? I just feel like he's quite chatty.
He hasn't said anything bad yet, so, I would keep him there.
OK, is that just because he hasn't said a lot, or...?
He's got dead game, basically!
No, no, I walked in with him, so I got a good vibe.
OK. Yeah.
Good vibes from you. Thank you, Harriett.
Munveer, how do you feel about that? Buzzing!
Expected it at all?
Of course! LAUGHTER
So, what do you think it is that the girls are seeing?
I don't know, the charm, maybe, slicked back hair and a nice smile,
kind eyes, possibly! OK.
Girls, you didn't think Ciaran was boyfriend vibes. What did he do?
You were a bit elusive about ex relationships,
and that's a bit of a red flag.
Maybe you're just mysterious, but to us,
it was a bit like, "What's he hiding?"
Are you mysterious or is it shy, or...?
I'm a bit mysterious, you know,
I keep my cards close to my chest at the start and then see how it goes.
Hopefully I can change a few minds, and, yeah, that's about it, really.
Not far wrong, though, but... LAUGHTER
Were you expecting to be a bit higher than that, though?
I can't lie to you, I had a feeling I was gonna be at the bottom.
LAUGHTER
Yeah, so, happy to be here and hoping to climb up the ladder.
LAUGHTER
I am definitely a grower! Or a shower!
ALL:Ooh!
I'm getting violated out here, aren't I?
Sean, you are quite close to the top.
What do you think it is that the girls saw?
I'm not too sure, to be fair. I wasn't confident heading into it,
but I must have pleased them in one way or another - or someone, maybe.
And the boys in the middle, are you guys happy with your position?
Go on the boys, innit? LAUGHTER
Happy, yeah. Bang in the middle. Bang in the middle.
Away from relegation. Ain't gonna win it.
Not too far from the top, yeah. LAUGHTER
Boys, it's your turn now. Off you go.
Come on, boys. Bring it in. All I'm gonna say is...
Honestly, trust me, they are.
I would personally put her number one.
My God, this is the worst thing I've ever done in my life.
I'm not bothered. It's funny.
Which one of you put me bottom again? No, joking!
Oh, I can't listen to this. I'm actually blocking my ears.
I think red. Orange...
Oh, yeah.
I would say Scouse, then red. That's what I'd do as well.
You're leading. No, I'm not leader, bro!
All right, guys, finished? Yeah.
Yeah? So, who's gonna line the girls up, then?
Sammy boy! Away you go.
So, you at the top. Aw! Thanks, guys.
And then you as well. You up next.
Yay! Boys, you've all got brownie points. Yes!
You, over here. Thank God, I'm not last.
And then follow. Get fucked!
And then... No!
And then swap. Oh, are you joking?!
Fuck you. Fuck off. That was you, that, wasn't it?
I ain't said nothing! He was only joking.
I'm happy about that, girls. I don't know about you. I'm happy with that!
All right, what was the reasons, Sam?
I think just off, like, first impressions,
a couple of people like to party a bit too much,
and some people just came out of relationships probably
a bit too... too soon. OK. Who likes to party too much?
Er... Samantha. Get fucked! I know I do.
I know I do, and I want someone that parties with me, thank you.
We can have a party together, eh? Not after that.
LAUGHTER OK, and how come you put Mimii
right at the top, most girlfriend material?
I don't know, I think first impressions,
she seems quite sweet, polite. Yeah, just... dead nice, dead kind.
Aw, thanks, guys. Sam's not wrong. She seems lovely and down to Earth.
Mimii, how do you feel about being nominated
top-end girlfriend material? I love that for me.
Do you know what I mean? I knew that anyway,
so it's good to know that it's the general consensus.
You know what I mean? But yeah, it's great. Thank you, guys.
Ciaran, you thought Harriett wasn't giving off girlfriend vibes.
What was that about? Nah, it was just all because, like,
you know, just come out of a relationship.
Well, I mean, it didn't work out for a reason, and I'm here, so... yeah.
Samantha, just about managed to avoid least place.
How does that feel?Well, no, obviously it's ruffled my feathers,
but I mean, they don't know me. I had a fella for three years
and he worshipped the ground that I walked on, so... Absolutely.
..I'm clearly not that bad. Get ready to worship the ground. OK.
And Patsy and Jess, how are you feeling about your positions?
I'm quite happy, to be honest. I think I'm quite a loud person,
so on first impressions, it can come off maybe too much,
but it's nice to know maybe it's not too intimidating. So, yeah.
Boys aren't scared.Hopefully not. You should be. No, joking.
Patsy?I'm not happy. No?I'm a bit offended.
Bang average? I'm not really a bang average kind of girl, I don't think.
I'd rather be, like, one end of the spectrum,
not slap bang in the middle, boring. Yeah.
That's what I'm getting from that. That was very interesting.
So, I bet you're wondering how we're gonna couple you up.Mm-hm.
Well, you have done it yourselves.
Aaah! Oooh.
Oh, my God. OK. Really wish I stayed quiet.
Girls, from most to least, please head over and join your boys.
Come on over, Mimii. Nice to meet you. You too, darling.
Thanks!
Hey, we're both down near the bottom.
They didn't expect that. No, literally.
Right, we'll have a chat in a bit, innit?Yeah.
# We're only getting started. #
Mimii and Munveer, how are you two feeling about being together?
Yeah, buzzing.
She's beautiful, so looking forward to getting to know her.
It seems like you two are the greenest flags in here.
I guess so, yeah.
Nicole and Sean, is this a perfect match?
We'll see, I think.
Did you two have your eye on each other at all?
I'm not going to tell you that yet. It's a bit too soon.
OK. Sean? Early days.
Not my usual type, but looking forward to, like,
opening my ideas up and, er, getting to know her. OK.
You didn't have to say that, but it's OK.
ALL LAUGH
All right, I may as well walk now! All right!
She kept her cards close, you just flung 'em out.
That's OK. Jess and Ronnie!
I'm happy with my couple. Yeah, lovely.
Yeah, I feel like we're middle of the leaderboard.
Both got a personality, both got chat, so, if anything,
we'll never be bored, will we? Yeah.
Patsy and Ayo, what are you two thinking over there?
We're happy, aren't we? Yeah, we'll see, we'll see.
You've got the height over here. We've got the height.
So, I asked for a tall, sexy man... AYO LAUGHS
Tallest couple. Yeah. Delivered.
And, Ayo, how about you?
Yeah, she's lovely. She's a lovely girl.
Looks good in blue, so...
Is that something for you? "Looks good in blue?"
I love... Ticks off something.
I love a little blue... Yeah, number, yeah.
ALL LAUGH
Nah, she looks... If you're in blue, you're in. OK.
She looks lovely, so, yeah. Aw, thank you. Can't complain.
No.
Samantha and Sam. Double Sammage!
ALL LAUGH
How's that going? Yeah, no, I'm happy.
And are you a fan of the mullet? No, but...
ALL LAUGH
He's gorgeous, do you know what I mean?
He's got fabulous white teeth.
And, finally, Harriet and Ciaran.
I've got no complaints from my end.
Not sure about Harriet, cos, obviously,
I was one of the reasons why she was at the bottom.
But, yeah, no, she's a beautiful girl.
You know, nice bikini on and stuff, so we'll, er, see where it goes.
It is a one-piece, but that is fine.
Oh, yeah, it is. One piece, then, yeah.
LAUGHTER
And Harriett, how do you feel about being with Ciaran?
I mean, he's definitely my type.
So we will see. He's got some making up to do,
considering he put me at the least. So...
Yeah. I thought you dug your way halfway out of that hole, Ciaran.
Yeah. But not fully. I'm nearly there.
I need a hand up now. He keeps on digging.
You need a ladder, mate.
You are going back down the hole at this rate.
I need to go back down, start again and retry that level.
Maybe you're like this. Instead of just straight up.
So that is it.
We now have six gorgeous couples.
You'll spend the summer getting to know each other,
living together, sharing a bed together.
All in this beautiful villa.
Hanging out in the sun with loads of sexy people
sounds all right, doesn't it?
I'll take it. Yeah. Buzzing.
Be all right. But don't forget, in eight weeks' time,
the public will crown their Love Island winners,
who could stand to win a massive £50,000.
Whoo! Whoo! Not too shabby.
And will the couples
who weren't seen as boyfriend and girlfriend material
prove everyone wrong?
Yep. LAUGHTER
Definitely. Only time will tell.
Good luck, my honeys, I will see you very soon.
Goodbye and enjoy.
Bye. Bye. See you! Bye.
Bet you two are buzzing, aren't you?
Top. Top, yeah, top of the list.
As our brand-new couples get settled in,
you can get your very own piece of paradise
and some extra spending money to play with.
Here's the details.
IAIN STIRLING: Time to give you lot at home
the chance to win a huge cash prize.
IAIN STIRLING: In the coupling up, Ciaran and Harriett
were voted least likely to be boyfriend/girlfriend material.
FYI, boyfriend material is the fabric used to make those
dodgy football tops the lads buy down the beach on their holidays.
So, how does it feel to be at the bottom?
Well, I was a bit annoyed.
It's just... It's one of them things, you know,
we've just come in, and it's like, we don't know anyone here.
Yeah, exactly. So, you know...
But why did they put you at the bottom?
I dunno. They said I was, like, mysterious or something.
I thought I was quite honest, but there we are, then!
I like mysterious!
Well, just keeping my cards close to my chest, you know?
Yeah, of course. What do you do for work again?
So, I'm a dancer. Dancer, what type of dancing?
All dancing. But not the dancing you're thinking of!
I wasn't thinking of that!
I was thinking of, like, a bit of modern or something like that.
That was the vibe I'm getting.
Kind of a jazz dancer. Yeah, yeah, I know, yes.
I'm so bad at tap, I'm like Bambi on ice.
Yeah, I know tap, yeah.
The boys actually voted me the least girlfriend material,
which I was not happy about because I know that's not true myself.
But it actually worked in my favour,
because I do fancy Ciaran» a little bit and he was also last.
So, yes, it kind of worked well for both of us, I think.
What's your favourite colour?
My favourite colour... Go on, guess.
Do a bit of guessing, see if you can get it right.
OK, um, blue? Yeah, it actually is!
Fuck it. That's good. That is good. Yeah.
Right, go on, then, guess mine.
I'm just gonna go... I'm just gonna go with... Purple?
Are you joking?!
No, you're lying! Did I get that right?
No, no, no, I hate purple!
THEY LAUGH
But it's nice, like, girls got a good judge of character, right?
We do, yeah.
And it's nice to know that I'm giving off that vibe, that energy.
Mm-hm. Exactly.
OK, so, talk to me, what is your type?
Other than me, obviously!
Yeah, you do fit it, you know - brunette, tall, athletic.
What, I'm your type? Yeah, you and Ayo, yeah.
Yeah, come on!
I'd say that. I'd say that you and Ayo.
It's nice to know.
But, Ayo... Ayo is a good-looking boy.
How tall are you? Six-foot.
That's... At least you can say six, though.
I'm six-foot with shoes on! LAUGHTER
You don't have to say that part. You are six-foot, period.
I'm six-foot. Do you know what I mean?
Yeah. It's early days, so we'll see what happens.
Obviously, I'm not gonna be... Gonna chat to everyone.
I'm not gonna be disrespectful to you or anything like that,
but we are in a situation, in an environment where
we need to get to know each other, get to know other people.
Mm. And I'm glad that, like, you've said that.
I want you to get to know other people.
Yeah, I think that's the vibe for everyone, innit?
Yeah, of course, it's early days, you know what I mean?
So far, so good, though. I'm happy.
You buzzing, yeah? I'm buzzing!
You happy with me? Yeah, yeah.
Cool. As long as you don't snore.
I don't snore. But I do sleep talk. Oh!
"Mimii, you're beautiful!" Oh, gosh! OK, that's fine.
I don't want to hear any mumbling, I'll be thinking,
"What, who's he talking to?"
IAIN STIRLING:
Nicole's coupled up with professional sweet salesman Sean.
Since he broke up with his last girlfriend,
Sean has been on his "Toblerone".
Ha, yes, strap yourselves in, people,
there will be two months of this!
So, how do you feel about being coupled up with me, then?
Good, I'm all right.
Obviously, it didn't go as smoothly...
Well, I'm not your type, clearly, am I?
No, I was saying it as in, like, a way of...
My standard type or what I've been used to...
Standard type, what's your standard type, then?
My standard type? Mm.
Well, would normally be blonde, petite, very strong eyes.
So, you're ticking a few of them.
I'm not blonde!
No, I'm sorry for that, but it wasn't meant in the way in which...
Just because I'm not blonde?
No, but I was excited to be with you. Hm.
Because it's something... Yeah. Not when it's good.
You can judge someone by how they look, but until you get to know them
and, like, you know, I'm getting to know you.
I'm like an open book, I wear my heart on my sleeve.
Yeah, and that's me.
I'm like, I want to get to know you deep. Yeah!
So, it's like, I wanna know your national insurance number, yeah!
LAUGHTER
Get out! You're trying to fucking make up for it now!
Yeah, you're from, like, Wales, who I normally wouldn't meet in my life.
The only time I've been to Wales was to climb, like, Snowdonia.
Yes. That's miles away from me, actually.
Oh, my God, it was so traumatic. Was it?
It was so cold, yeah. So, where do you live?
So, I live, like, just north of London.
So, like, in the city, then?
It's, like, 40 minutes to central London.
Oh, that's literally in the city for me.
Is it? Yeah.
IAIN STIRLING:
Patsy, Ayo, Samantha and Sam are off to explore the villa.
Oh, guys, can we get some WD-40 for the bedroom door?
It's making a terrible squeaking noise when it opens.
Aaah! Oh, my God, guys, this is it. THEY SHRIEK
Wow. Oh, my God.
Names are on the beds already. Where is mine? Where is mine?
Crazy. Look at us. Let's try it. Bright pink.
These pillows are not gonna last. Sturdy.
Dunno what... that bounce works. You'd best not snore. I do!
Oh, my god. Are you comfy over there? I am pretty...
Well, now I've got a snorer.
Oh, my God, your shorts match your bed.
I know. Look at that. Matchy-matchy.
Right. Wanna lay down on that, what are you doing?
Right, so, go on, tell me about you. Tell me what, like...?Oh, well...
Are you happy with the couple first? I am, yeah, are you?
Yeah, I'm really happy. You're really good.
Really good what? You are sexy stuff.I think...
When you come in, what was your first impression, when you come in?
You're buff. Was it? Buff.
I am actually looking forward to it now.
I feel like it is always happy
when you're coupled up with someone that you fancy, though, isn't it?
Yeah. Looking around...
There is some people that don't fancy each other,
and that's hard, that, you know. 100%.You are doing all right, so...
You're ticking a few boxes. LAUGHS
He is in awe. Oh, my God.
Right, I'm getting my spot, I'm getting my spot.
I need to be facing both mirrors. So should we do these are ours?
This is not... Some hair products.These are ours.
You must know a bit of some of this stuff.A little bit.
Some of this stuff. That looks fucking expensive.
THEY LAUGH They ain't cheap.
It ain't cheep. I tell you that now.
They've already started, bloody hell, Jesus.
It's not my colour at all. Fuck.
What are you most, like,
least looking forward to about being in here?
Least looking forward to? Would you say you're a stiff dancer.
Stiff?Hey, we'll get on perfect. Why, are you bad?
I am, I swear, on a scale of one to ten.
After a few drinks, I'm all right.
I'll just sit there, like on the back of this, and just go like that.
THEY LAUGH
IAIN STIRLING: Sam's been coupled up with Samantha,
so Sam's with Sam, but while they have the Sam name,
the big question is will they share the Sam interests?
Hang on a minute, I'm gonna pull you up on something.
Was it least girlfriend material? Yeah.
Me and poor Harriett, left at the bottom of the barrel.
And you, obvious you... I was gonna say.
To be fair, though, like, it was one of those things
where we was just like chatting and we were like we actually don't know.
But like... Well, you don't know. Cos you've done it on purpose.
But like...
But like... Well,
But like... Well, you
But like... Well, you did
But like... Well, you did know.
Cos
Cos you've
Cos you've done
Cos you've done it
Cos you've done it on
Cos you've done it on purpose.
Cos you've done it on
What do you get up to in your spare time, then?
Er...
THEY LAUGH
I should have prepared an answer to that, shouldn't I?
I don't know, my life's got so boring.
I share a bed with my mum. OK.
At the moment, yeah. OK. Interesting.
Yeah, so I really haven't been around men in a very long time.
Interesting. Got you.
Yeah, I moved back into my mum's house in September.
And then she didn't have like room for me,
so she was like, "Oh, you can share my bed."
LAUGHS
What have you been on, the dating apps, or, like, what's your...?
No, no, never been on dating apps.
I have to meet someone else to meet them,
otherwise I'm not gonna meet them. I'm pretty much the same. Really?
I like to see someone and, like, know that's what I want,
and then go for it. What would you say you're looking for?...
I feel like I do miss that feeling of, like, being in love,
and, like, being with someone. Like, I could enjoy my times with.
Yeah. So, you know, that's pretty much what I'm...
Yeah, nice. Just like a life partner. 100%.
Have you seen anyone that that's your type yet?
Er... Probably only you, really.
No offence taken if it's not, by the way.
No, no, honestly, literally, you...
Maybe someone like Sam.
I really do just... But he hasn't really got the height,
but I got for, like, height and it falls into place from there.
I'm quite a young-at-heart person, I'm not, like,
I'm not looking to have kids any time soon.
Twenties are to be lived, don't you think? So, like...
Yeah, I've got one more left. THEY LAUGH
# Sometimes I feel like I wanna jump Out of a helicopter
# When I'm looking at you... #
IAIN: The Islanders are getting ready for their first big night,
and Sam might be a hairdresser,
but I reckon his barnet's a bit pants.
Night's about to start, baby. Ooh, yeah.
Who do you like, then?
I think Ronnie's just got a chat, hasn't he? Yeah.
You're going to try and explore different relationships,
different connections, innit?
Unfortunately, you're going to step on different people's toes.
That's just the nature of it.
# Sunlight in your eyes When we touch... #
Ayo, what size feet are you? I'm, like, a 12, 13, bro.
You know what they say. Big feet... Whay!
Big socks! Big socks.
LAUGHTER
Guys, I've smashed one of the mirrors. Isn't that bad luck?
Oh, no. Oh, no!
# When we touch It's like the stars collide... #
I love this, it's so exciting! LAUGHTER
Come on, girly-whirlies.
# Sometimes I feel like I wanna jump Out of a helicopter
# When I'm looking at you
# Sometimes I feel like I wanna push down... #
I'm buzzing for everyone here. You all look so beautiful.
So, let's have a great summer
full of fun, good memories and finding love.
ALL CHEER
IAIN: Nicole's taken Sam for a chat.
Between you and me, I reckon Sam likes Sam more than Sam likes Sam.
Although to be honest, I think Sam's too good for Sam anyway.
NICOLE:How are you feeling? SAMANTHA:Oh, mixed.
Mixed? Why? Sam is just not my type.
Like, I don't want to be nasty, but, like... No, I know.
That's not my type, and I'm not fake.
No, I know, I know, I know. Like, it's so hard because...
Is there anyone who you think is your type in here? Ronnie.
Ron. Yeah.
Pull him for a chat now.
I feel like Ronnie's a bit smitten, though, isn't he?
I don't think so. Do you not think?
No. Ronnie's with Jess, though, isn't he? Yeah.
No. Do you not think? I think he has eyes for you.
Oh, look, she's going right over. It's fine. It's fine.
JESS:Can I have a chat with Ron, please?
AYO: Go for it. Oh, no, what have I done now?
Take the lad. In the doghouse already.
You want to stay here? Let's get out of your hair.
I'm never in the doghouse. Are you coming here?
Oh! I nearly fell down the thing. Can you budge up?
You OK, babe? Yeah, are you? Yeah.
What's happening? Good, are you?
Yeah, all right, you look nice. Thank you, so do you.
So, what are you thinking? Happy with your choice?
The choice that wasn't really yours. Yeah.
Right, I'm happy how it's all, like, come together.
But I said, like, I think our first chat and that,
we bounced off each other, didn't we? Yeah, I think we did.
And you look good tonight, you know. Thank you.
You look really good.
Are you a fast mover? I feel like you're a fast mover.
Well, how quickly do you want me to move?
I'm not, like, trying to ask you to stick it on me right now.
No, I'm just asking you in general.
But I'll tell you one thing, I'm not a tit... Yeah.
..and I'm ever going, like, head-to-head... Yeah.
Just, do you know what, just be yourself, right?
Go over there, cos you're so bubbly,
you're so, like, "Look at me", go up there, do that and
I'm sure he'll be begging at your feet, like, any time.
It's a vibe. A vibe...
Can't say that word. I don't like it.
It gives me the ick.
LAUGHTER How many have I got through already?
You've got no icks just yet, but there is time,
I've only known you not even... 24 hours.
Nice. I reckon by then, you can give me one.
I'm on zero. I've gotta see your pyjama choice.
I don't wear pyjamas. Do you wear boxers?
Well, we can go commando if no-one's looking...
I think you'd better not.
We get on well, there's definitely some kind of chemistry there,
I think we bounce off each other.
But I feel like you just have to see how these things go,
and how it pans out, like you never know what to expect in here, do you.
But yeah, so far, so good.
So we'll see. Like I say, early days.
IAIN: Ayo's coupled up with Patsy, but he fancies a bit of me.
Well, I am flattered, but unfortunately, I'm married.
Oh, no, wait, I've misread that. He fancies a bit of Mimii. Dammit!
Mimii, do you wanna pull up, up there?
Yes, sir. Ooh!
You look stunning as well, Mimii.
Hello. How's you? I'm good, thanks, how are you?
Yeah, I'm not too bad. How's it going?
It's going good. You look amazing, by the way.
You look great. I like the shirt. Thank you. I'm trying, I'm trying.
Fashion boy. You've gotta love it, no?
Yes, of course.
Where are you from? I didn't catch nothing like that.
City wise, or...? Yeah, London.
No, I'm not from London. London?
I'm from Portsmouth. Portsmouth.
What's it like down there?
It's nice. You know, it's your standard little city.
Yeah. What's your type?
Erm, literally, I just like what I like.
It's as straightforward as that. Like...
As long as you're cute... Mm.
You're tall...
Good chat, got some rizz. Uh.
You know, confidence. Yeah.
Athletic. OK, athletic...
Can dress. OK.
Like good music. Oh.
Like good foods. Yay!
Knows all the spots. Contracts! Is it?!
A little bit like adding, adding, adding.
So what, yeah, what about you?
Tell me more. What's your type?
Well, me, I just... As I said, I'm a sucker for a pretty face.
Mm-hm. And to be real, when I saw you,
I was like, "Who's this beautiful Black girl?
"Like, I need to know a bit more."
CHUCKLING OK.
Ideally, out of everyone here, I'm more leaning towards you,
do you know what I mean? That's sweet. That's a given.
Cos on the outside world, you would literally be like
the type of person I'd wanna talk to, do you know what I mean?
Got you. Would you approach me? Question.
I don't think I would approach you,
I feel like I would want you to approach me,
but I'd, like, make the eye contact,
like, I'd make it known. Got you.
So this is sex with the eyes. D'you know what I mean?
Early doors.
But, like, for you... Mm-hm. Where's...
I don't wanna say, "Where's your head at?"
That's so, like... That so cliche, isn't it?
Do you know what I mean? HE LAUGHS
Who are you feeling... Obviously, I know me...
I can't cap, yeah.
Like, if I'm being so, so real with you,
you're right there. Like, I see you.
Yeah, that's how I'm gonna leave that. OK.
Yeah. I see you. I like that. That's a good answer.
Yeah. That's a good answer. Yeah.
So what are you saying, Patsy? You gonna recouple with me?
Yeah, fuck it. Shall we?
Shall we? PATSY LAUGHS
No, but, seriously, would you? I would. I would, actually.
Well, I think I've got a sneaky feeling Ayo and Mimii...
Yeah, Ayo and Mimii have been chatting for a long, long time.
Yeah. Yeah, she's definitely into him.
Yeah, yeah. I get that vibe.
I think she was being nice to me.
She was telling me what I wanted to hear, just to be kind.
Why, what was she saying to you?
She was like, "Yeah, you are my type."
PATSY LAUGHS
Along the lines of like, "Yeah, tall, dark, handsome."
You're nice. You are.
Literally, everyone said that, though.
Tall, dark and handsome? Yeah, and everyone said...
As long as you think so, Patsy. Yeah.
IAIN STIRLING:
Scouser Samantha has finally managed to get her hands
on semi-pro footballer Ron. Exciting!
This could be the first Liverpool signing
of the post-Klopp era.
Are you getting on with Jess?
I've had probably the same amount of chats now as, obviously,
I've had with you, like.
SAMANTHA CHUCKLES Why are you laughing?
I don't know. Erm...
And, yeah, see what Samantha's saying, innit? Like...
I'm just used to either Scousers or Londoners, so it's a bit, like...
Yeah.
IN EXAGGERATED SCOUSE ACCENT: And I can do a bit of both.
RONNIE CHUCKLES
Do not give me the ick and try and do my accent.
Eeee! SAMANTHA LAUGHS
Nah, we're having a blinder, eh?
If you would have come in and had to couple up with someone,
who would you... It'd be you.
Would it? Yeah. Oh.
And the same, would you have coupled up with me?
Yeah. Yeah?
Was you a bit gutted? Who are you... I was...
Who have you coupled up with? Sam.
Oh, yeah.
Look, everyone's getting to know each other, like.
Mm-hm. Are you loyal?
IN SCOUSE ACCENT:I'm loyal.
Are you loyal? It's weird, trying to do my accent.
You can't do my accent. Are you loyal?
I'm girlfriend material. Are you? Yeah.
I'm... I'm boyfriend material. Says who?
RONNIE CHUCKLES
Your eyes.
RONNIE LAUGHS What?
It was good getting to know Ronnie.
He is my type and I do fancy him.
He's just got the gift of the gab, and that's what I love.
Just confident, cheeky, cocky.
He's, like, essentially my type. That is just Ronnie.
Oh, bit strange, man.
We are literally going to be in the same bed
with each other later. I know. It's so weird.
How do you feel about it?
Nah, cos I've gotten to know you a bit better and that,
like, it's a lot more...
I feel we could just jump straight into bed and we'd just talk, like.
You know? Mm.
Not, like, get in and be like, "Oh, you OK?"
Like, "Sorry, I bumped into you." Or anything like that.
Put a pillow, like... Put a barrier there.
"Sorry, I touched your knee."
HARRI LAUGHS
"You touched my foot, mind, behave, will you?"
Erm... Nah, but, yeah, no, I'm quite excited.
It's a bit weird.
I've just met her a few hours ago and I'm sleeping
in the same bed as her,
but cos we've already become quite close to each other, you know,
we've been a bit...
Having a few cwtches on the... By the firepit, et cetera.
Maybe a little bit of cuddling tonight,
a bit of small talk.
But, erm, guess we'll have a bit of fun with it.
I feel like we have a very good vibe going on.
I think we've got a good vibe, which is weird,
because it's, like, only been a couple of hours.
But I think we've got a good vibe. Yeah.
I'm really enjoying spending time with you and, you know,
getting to know you and stuff. I've got no complaints.
What, and you regret putting me at the bottom?
Now I do. A little bit.
You're maybe second to last, third to last.
Out of the group, what I've loved about seeing you
is you're very within yourself, isn't it?
Yeah.
Everyone of course has their own personality and character,
but I think yours stands out a lot. Really?
Just because it's, "What is she thinking?"
BOTH LAUGH
"What's on this girl's mind? What's going on?"You'll never know.
I'm trying to know, yeah. I'm trying to know.
Let's not keep them cards too close.
You know, it's the first day, I'm trying to assess the situation.
You look amazing tonight, by the way.Thank you.
Seriously, you really do. Somebody's gonna blush in a minute.
How would you feel if someone tried to kiss you on the first night?
Question.I'd say, "It's the first night, let's wait."
OK. Yeah. Would you pause that? Stop that?
I'd probably... Well, I don't know if I'd stop it.
Oh, you wouldn't stop it?
Just, you know, I wouldn't wanna... What?
Huh? Just hypothetically.
I don't know the hypothetical world we're living in right now.
Your lips are crazy.
And the way you're looking at me is telling me something as well.
I'm just trying to gauge where we're at with things right now,
don't you think?
You're not serious. No, I am, I am.
HE LAUGHS
# Don't you wait for heroes... #
IAIN STIRLING: I've already worked for almost an hour today,
and we paid Maya to do an outfit change,
so I'm off to microwave a curry and stick Love Island on the telly.
Maya, they're all yours.
# Run, run
# Run and don't you come back
# Freedom!
Freedom!
# Save your heart and take control
# Run, run
# Run and don't you come back
# Run, run
# Run and don't you look back... #
Oh, my God, it's Maya!
Here she is!
CHEERING
Good evening, my loves.
How are you? How are we all?
Crazy. Crazy. Good.
OK. Could you all please join me at the firepit?
It's about to get a bit spicy, right?
# Freedom Freedom
# Freedom
# Save your heart and take control
# Life was always yours
# Run, run
# Run and don't you look back. #
Everyone OK?
Yeah. Nervous.
How are we are getting on after the line-ups earlier?
Not too bad. Pretty good. Yeah, sweet.
Bonding? Yeah. Yeah.
Everyone friends? Yeah, definitely. Nice, sweet.
Definitely. Anyone more than friends yet?
Ooh. Ooh. No-one wants to say.
Potential. Yeah, a few things are popping up, I think.
OK. Mimii and Munveer, you guys were chosen as the girl and boy
that came across as most like girlfriend and boyfriend material.
How has that been panning out?
It's been good.
You know, we've enjoyed our time.
But, yeah, I'm enjoying getting to know everyone.
Are you feeling a spark yet?
Possibly. I don't know, we will see. Yes.
I mean, it's early days, so... The spark is still to happen.
Time will tell. So taking it one step at a time.
Harriett and Ciaran, you were chosen as the girl and boy
that looks least like girlfriend and boyfriend material.
Have things improved since earlier?
You go first, I'm staying quiet for the start.
Erm, I think so.
I feel like maybe we got off on the wrong foot.
That's kind of the vibe I'm...
Yeah, I can't lie, it's been going very well, like.
Getting to know each other better and better. A bit of flirting.
You know? So I'm excited. Yeah.
I made the right decision now, by saying what I said.
Stop there, kid, stop there.
LAUGHTER
Yeah, that was good. I'm gonna be quiet now, so...
That was good. No more. So you're happy?
Yeah, I'm landed, I'm over the moon. Aw. Bless.
Well, it's good to see you're all settled in.
But as you know, you are on Love Island.
You must always expect the unexpected.
So, please welcome...
Joey. ISLANDERS GASP
