IAIN STIRLING: Previously on Love Island...
Ellie, please make your decision now.
# Oh, the misery... #
..the new arrivals caused a stir.
I don't think he's met his match yet,
so the boy I'd like to couple up with is...
Ron.
Olivia.
It doesn't scream "sparks flying" to me. It's just, like, dead.
I do think you are wrong. I do think there is a spark.
Only time will tell.
# But I'm ready. #
IAIN: Tonight...
She's not my girlfriend. No.
You can't just sort of wife yourself off. No, 100%.
..heads are turning...
I am not getting involved in a trio thing. I'm not.
So, that's that.
..and old wounds reopen.
"Snog the two Islanders that you think are attracted to you."
WHOOPING
"Blow a kiss to the least trustworthy."
LAUGHTER
IAIN: As the sun goes down,
sex toy salesman Spencer is cleaning up.
Tell me about it. He's shifted 50 vibrators this morning.
That's my Christmas list sorted.
My nan's normally so hard to buy for.
How are we feeling about tonight, guys?
Nobody's safe.
# There's something in your DNA... #
Yeah, no, he's definitely a good-looking boy.
Mm. For sure.
And he's calm and he's cute and he's nice.
He's definitely someone, like, I'll gravitate towards.
# Something in your DNA
# Cos heaven did it right, baby When you were made
# You hit it different I feel some type of way... #
Love ya. Thanks, man.
# There's something in your DNA
# Cos heaven did it right, baby When you were made... #
WHOOPING
# I'll never be, never be the same
# There's something in your DNA. #
Here's to a good brunch this morning,
getting to know everyone, and good memories.
CHEERING
IAIN: Lana and Ron have the kind of magical connection
you only really experience
with a person who sleeps in a bed with someone else
ten feet away in a communal bedroom.
I feel like you lot will end up together
because I feel like you lot have that connection
and you lot have that bond. Do you know what I'm saying? Yeah.
I want to be respectful, but I also want to be selfish.
I want to care... I want to make sure she's OK.
I want to make sure I don't close myself off... Selfish in what way?
Do what I want to do and... What you want to do?
Carry on with us. Oh, OK. I thought you meant the other way.
I'm gonna let you lot have this chat.
No, no, no. Love you guys.
I thought you meant selfish like... If I was...
What I thought you were saying then was selfish,
"What I want to do is I want to get to know her." No.
I don't think she has it. Yeah.
I don't think she has... she has a chance of swaying me.
What I will say is, if it's going this way,
where we're keeping this open thing,
then I am also, on the other side, going to be open.
I know. I know.
I think I'll do something mad,
and I think I'm gonna dead it tonight.
Honestly, don't, don't force yourself to do anything.
You can literally... I'm not forcing myself to,
but I feel like I just want to.
Because I just... I just feel like we're too good.
I do.
I actually feel like I just... When I spend time with you,
there's no way that she's ever gonna touch this.
Aw, you're so cute! I know it's early.
You're cute.
But honestly, I'm not asking you to do that.
I know you're not.
And I know you would never do that. But... No, never.
I feel like I'm just gonna take the risk and just...
Honestly, don't tell me that now, because if you don't do it,
then... I'll do it.
No, no, no, don't...
Don't say it out loud, just do what you wanna do.
Your conversation might go really well. Mn...
No, your conversation might go really well
and you might think, "I shouldn't have deaded this."
So don't say that out loud. I'm not gonna feel that way.
So, in the past, I feel like I'm always too kind
and I get walked over.
I'm not gonna force anything, I'm not gonna be overly possessive.
I'm just hoping he makes the right decision.
IAIN: Spencer's having a catch-up with Zara.
That boy's made a memorable entrance to the villa.
Not surprising, really. Entrances are his speciality.
So, tell me, what's going on with your love life? Gosh!
Well, obviously, I'm with Tom at the moment. Yeah.
For me, it's definitely still early days.
We're probably one of the newer more solid couples.
I've never been this smitten with someone... Really?
..this close, like, this early. Yeah.
And the thing is, you're sleeping in bed together,
seeing each other all day, chatting all day.
And you see them talking to other people and you...
not get jealousy, but you're sort of like, "What's going on?"
Oh, you're getting jealous? Ooh! Not jealousy, no,
but it's sort of like, "I wonder how their chat's going?"
Yeah, you're curious. Yeah, he seems pretty smitten, to be fair.
I think for you coming in especially,
Liv's the only single girl, so the fact that you warmed to her
first of all, I think was great.
I'm gonna get to know everyone. You have to, to be fair.
It's the first day, so... Yeah. I know what it's like
to come in here and be new and find your feet.
And then also, you've got to think about, not just finding your feet,
but also your feelings.
You know, looks is one thing, but personality obviously goes further.
You've got to get that vibe, that spark, like...
If you can banter... You know as well.
Exactly. If you can talk to someone and it feels effortless...
If you're not best friends with your partner and going out
and thinking, "Oh, I'd kind of like them to be here with me."
And if you're not doing that, why are you not doing that?
Shall we go for a little chat? Yeah, let's.
Oh, my God, I'm living,
cos I'm never, ever usually, like, the short one.
Oh, really? How tall are you? And it feels good. 5'7".
Shall we go by the fire? Yeah.
But with heels, when I go out,
I just feel like everyone's a short king. Yeah.
So I'm always like... Oh, shit.
Oh, this wind, man. I know! I can't.
Oh, my God, this seating when I first came in,
and you were so moody, Tom, you were like, this..
Oh, shit, really?
Tom, you scared me cos you were literally... Oh, sorry.
No, but you were literally sitting there, you did not look up,
and you were just literally like this at the fire pit...
You were, like, so over it. Oh, sorry.
And I was like, "Nice to meet you!" Oh. I tried to look at you!
Did you? Yeah, I did.
What do you reckon about Zara and Spencer?
How are you feeling about that?
I ain't exclusive, you know what I mean?
Does that bother you?
Not really, no. That's a bit of a red flag.
No, right, she's not my girlfriend, like, everyone's in...
No, but does that not make you a little bit like,
"Stop talking to my girl?" She's not my girl.
Ooh! Out of the top, how much do you fancy me?
You're up there.
Tom's cute. Tom's really fit.
Like, Tom's got good chat, he's funny, he's tall.
I'm really, really looking forward to getting to know Tom.
I feel like I'm a bit more his type.
Zara come... You come in here, like, I...
LAUGHTER
Am I stuttering my words? You were stuttery!
You were like, "Du-du-du-du-du-du."
Erm... Reel it in!
I can't even remember what I'm saying.
I can't remember, either, because it's just stuttery words!
Cheers to that! Cheers!
Erm...
Do you know what? You've really surprised me. Why?
You're so funny and you're just, like...
We get each other's banter. I just like being with you,
and I just didn't think that was gonna happen.
I thought that after the drama, you would be like...
You know what, I don't like drama,
but, obviously, you're an attractive girl, like.
I'm not gonna let that slide, type of thing. Thank you.
D'you know what I mean? We are only here once.
I feel like if you were open to just getting to know me...
Yeah, you know I am.
But then, like, if Zara asked me... Just be honest.
Zara does make it out like you are SOLID.
I can't lie, we get on very, very well. Yeah.
Like, we do. But like you say, I'm in here once. You're fit. Erm...
And, yeah, I'd be willing to get to know you, 100%.
For me, if I think I've got a better connection with someone,
or the girl walks in who I find attractive, I'm gonna pursue that.
IAIN: Kai's been gazing at the moon,
imagining everyone back home seeing it at same time.
OK, who's gonna tell Kai
that's just a bit of plastic with a light bulb in it?
The moon, right, OK.
England's in line with this, it's in the same time zone.
I think it's out by two hours. Right?
So, when you look at the moon, it's dark in England as well.
And there's only one moon, so when you look at the moon at night time,
it's the same moon that they'll be seeing at home.
So, nah, deep it, if you ever get sad, OK,
and you miss your family and everything,
just think, when they look outside at the same time as you,
they'll see the exact same moon but from a different side.
PHONE CHIMES
I've got a text!
What?! What is it?!
HE READS TEXT
Shaq! Shaq and Tanya!
CHEERING
I can't wait to have some one-on-one time with Shaq.
So, yeah, I'm excited! SHE SQUEALS
THEY CHANT: Tanya! Tanya! Tanya! Tanya!
THEY CHANT: Hey! Hey! Hey!
Get them. That's it, that's it. That'll do, that'll do, that'll do.
That'll do. That's enough, innit?
What's this? Flowers?
Nipples! Nipples! Yes!
Can I put these on your nipples? No, you can not.
I love you guys.
GIRLS: Aw! Love you all! Mwah!
CHEERING
Oi-oi! Oi-oi!
Whoo!
Whoo-hoo!
Are you sending off the kids?
BOYS CHANT: Shaq attack! Shaq attack! Shaq attack!
Oh, my God!
CHEERING Bye!
Let's go!
IAIN: This year's Hideaway has got its own pool. Amazing!
Although you do have to be out by 7am
cos the crew's got its legs, bums and tums class there
first thing in the morning.
SHE GASPS Ooh!
Oh, my God.
That's... This is insane. It's cute!
Oh, my days!
This is sick!
This is...
It says "playtime".
OK, what's in there?
SHE SCREAMS, HE LAUGHS
Stop! Babe, babe, babe, babe. What is that for?
HE CHUCKLES
No! Let me see it.
I can see you wearing that. Yeah? I can see you...
The red? Mm.
Yeah, the rose petals.
Ooh!
Come on. HE LAUGHS
SHE SQUEALS, HE LAUGHS
SHE SQUEALS
IAIN: Ellie's cracking on with Tom,
and Zara's worrying Tom's head might turn.
Tom would have reassured Zara,
but he was busy in the beach hut saying how his head might turn.
I think she's clearly warming to him, which is fine.
Like, she's entitled to. Yeah.
I think he's spoken to her twice,
and me and him haven't properly caught up since.
I'm trying to be more patient than I am on the outside,
but I don't take any shit on the outside.
Like, I don't need mixed signals, I don't need any doubt.
I don't need it. Yeah.
I don't feel like I should be allowing it in here.
From my observation... I'm allowed to feel like,
"Can you not do that, please?"
Let me tell you something, Tom is the nicest person.
No, but am I getting...?
Like, is everyone getting a piece of what I'm getting? No, no.
Listen, shush, don't be silly.
Don't doubt yourself. I'm not doubting myself.
I'm doubting him, if anything.
But you're doubting the situation. Don't.
Because I'm telling you, from what I know of Tom, yeah, he is so lovely.
He's so kind. And not once has he been flirting with me,
and me and him get on so well.
Like, you have nothing,
I'm telling you, you have nothing to worry about.
IAIN: Ron's promised to tell Ellie he's not interested.
If he doesn't, he's gonna end up in what that blue neon light says
but with the letters S and H added to the second word.
Is that Ron? Is that Ron? Yeah.
I thought I'd pull you for a conversation
because obviously, I had a conversation with Lana. Hm.
So I just wanted to see that you were all right.
Don't think that you have to, like, dim your situation down with Lana,
like, even in front of me. I just like you as a person,
so I'm like, as long as you're happy...
That's nice. Yeah. Like, I'm happy.
It's not often a girl would be like that.
They're sitting quite far away, aren't they?
They are very distant, yeah.
This is a blessing in disguise, you know. Yeah. Mm.
Cos I feel like you two,
you haven't been coupled up for a long time now... Yeah.
..and it's gonna go in your favour. Do you think?
Yeah, I think he's deading it. I can see.
Really? Yeah.
I'm not closing myself off. It's not right.
I wouldn't be doing myself justice
if I didn't get to know you personally. Yeah.
To at least give this a chance,
to see whether or not that it is better
than what I have with Lana. Yeah.
Erm... OK, cos I literally thought this whole conversation
was you coming over here being like,
"I've spoken to Lana..." Blah, blah, blah. No, no.
I was like, "Well, tonight's gonna be awkward."
No, no, no. I think... She's not my girlfriend. No.
You can't just sort of wife yourself off.
So, what is, like, have you said to Zara about...?
I mean, not Zara, Lana. Lana.
About, like, what you've said to me. Like, have you been transparent?
Yes, I've made her aware of the situation.
I know this is gonna be hard for her. Mm-hm.
But I'm gonna speak to you. I've got to tread carefully,
but at the same time, I've got to do me. Yeah.
And I've got to be selfish and do what I wanna do,
and that's get to know the people who I find attractive
and think I click with, and see how far that goes.
I'm happy you spoke to Lana. I'm happy that we're all just like...
adults communicating, chill.
Well, I'm not gonna be some sly dog
who's gonna be going from saying one thing to you,
saying one thing to her... Well, you can't.
I don't know why people think that they can't be open and transparent,
because at the end of the day, you get found out. Well said.
Well said, my little Ron. I'm a smooth talker.
You are. That was a good little speech. Honestly.
It was great to hear all of this from Ron tonight.
But I do just have this gut feeling
that he's just gonna run back to her.
IAIN: They've only been in the Hideaway five minutes,
and already, Tanya's giving Shaq a cheeky little tug.
Come here, girl.
Come here, girl! With one shoe on!
# Late-night conversations Electric emotions
# Sprinkle with a little bit of sex
# And it's a potion, yeah
# Late-night bodies aching... #
Mm-hm. TANYA GIGGLES
# Sprinkle with A little bit of sex... #
Mm, mm.
Mm, mm! Mm! Mm, yes!
HE LAUGHS
Not the handcuffs!
HE LAUGHS Ooh. Oh, damn.
So, we have the whip. Oof!
# Top down and the moon is high
# And the mood is right And you're by my side
# Side... #
Wake up! Argh!
THEY CHUCKLE
SHE SQUEALS
Another one, please.
Another one, thank you.
I can hit harder if you want me to. No, it's fine.
THEY LAUGH
# Mental stimulation
# Sprinkle with A little bit of sex appeal
# And it's a moment, yeah
# Feelin' fly all night... #
I'm weak for you, girl. Stop!
# Sprinkle with A little bit of sex appeal
# And it's a moment... #
I like you, like you, like you, like you, like you a lot.
You trying to say you love me, but... No!
You can start here.
SHE GIGGLES
IAIN: Now, Macclesfield FC fans, if you're watching,
you'll be pleased to see that your striker Tom
still knows how to lose his marker.
You do have a habit of walking really far ahead from me.
I think I've just got big strides.
Yeah, but just be aware, I'm sort of just...
Sorry. ..tailing behind by myself.
How are you? Yeah, I'm good. How are you?
Er, been better. You not feeling well?
Not just that. I just feel like we haven't really spoken at all.
Yeah. Why, what's up?
Just feel like we haven't spoken. Oh.
I don't know if you've been doing it intentionally,
you haven't checked on me.
You've had two chats with Ellie, and we've not caught up.
I've spoken to Spencer, you've not said,
"How did the chat with Spencer go?" I haven't had the chance.
Well, why? Well... I'm a bit upset.
Oh, sorry. Me and you are in a fucking very, very, very good place.
Like, I don't know what your chats are like, obviously, without me.
So... SHE SNIFFS
I said to Ellie, like...
I said, "Obviously, you're a good-looking girl."
Obviously, I'm not gonna be, like, bang, cracking on.
But, like, I'll give her the time of day.
It will take me a hell of a lot for me to sway away from you.
Then tell me that, though. I've told you.
Like, you've had, like, I think two chats with her...
Yeah. And you've not come and been like,
"Oh, Zara, let me just let you know how it went."
I'm just giving her the time of day. I will eventually get...
Give me the time of day, Tom!
I can't lie, like, we're not exclusive.
You are what I'm looking for. Yeah.
You are what I'm looking for. You have got all my energy.
You literally just... You say one thing, and you say another.
What d'you mean? I'm trying to, like, just take it in, lightly.
You say I've got all your energy... You have.
But then you'll say, "We're not exclusive.
"Calm down, like, I'm looking elsewhere..."
Not looking elsewhere, but, like, "I'm open to other people."
It's very, like, one and then the other.
Maybe I need to work on communication,
but that comes with time and... Mm-hm.
Yeah, for me, it's a big thing. And I'll work on that.
But do you think it's important for us to catch up?
Especially when bombshells come in. Yeah, yeah, and I'll work on that.
I will work on that. OK, cool. That's fine.
That's all I can really ask of you. Yeah, I'll work on that.
Shall we squash it? Yeah. Squish. Squish, squish, squish.
BOTH: Mwah.
SHE SIGHS
I'm sorry for making you upset. I didn't mean it.
It's all right.
IAIN: They say opposites attract, so when Lana told Ron,
"Don't say you're ending things with Ellie, just do it,"
Ron SAID he was ending things with Ellie, then DIDN'T do it.
Smart move, Ronnie (!)
I just wanted to pull you, just to talk.
LANA: Right.
Cos I obviously spoke to Ellie and I said to her...
Look, I'm gonna give her respect and be like,
"Look, I'm not just gonna bin you off,"
to be like, "OK, I'm still gonna get to know her."
This is why I said to you not to tell me that. I know.
So I said, I'm still gonna, like, talk to her and whatever,
and just...
I know... I know how I feel with you. Mm.
Right? I know I've said it, but I really like you, OK?
If I come back to you after this,
then I know that everything that I'm feeling right now is dead serious.
Mm. Cos I already...
This "coming back" shit, though, like, please don't expect me to...
I'm taking a step back now. Yeah. Seriously.
I'm not... I'm not involved in this shit.
I don't wanna be part of it. OK?
Yeah. So, that's that.
I still want us to still be how we are.
No, but I'm not doing this, like, us being, like,
kissing and affectionate thing
when you're cracking on with someone else,
I'm not doing it, so don't expect that from me.
I am not getting involved in a trio thing. I'm not.
I'm not second best. I'm first.
I'm not... I'm not making... You're not second best to me.
You are best to me.
Because I've never done this before and cos I haven't felt like this...
and yeah, it does scare me, I want just complete confirmation on it.
Yeah.
You can't have the best of both worlds... I know.
..and I'm not in the world that you're in right now.
So that's me out for now.
So...
# I guess that flowers Aren't just used for big apologies
# I guess I should've been more Conscious how you spoke to me... #
SHE GROANS
# Maybe I was holding on to What I thought you were
# But when you think too hard Eventually it starts to hurt
# The version of you in my head Now I know wasn't true
# Young people fall for The wrong people
# Guess my one was you. #
Where is she? Upstairs?
Oh, God.
HE SIGHS
What's up with you, man? What's up?
Just fucked it, really. What?!
That's the best way to say it.
I basically said to Lana that, like, I feel like I need to speak to Ellie
to see whether or not it'll change anything,
and if it doesn't, then I know that it is legit.
This is, like, the issue through my whole life
is that I get too kind and then they just walk all over me,
do you know what I mean?
# It's just a bad day Not a bad life... #
I'm actually glad that I said it and stood up for myself,
and been like... 100%. .."I'm not standing for that shit."
Do you know what I mean? I'm never gonna be a second option.
I've been options too many times. I'm not doing again.
I'm proud of you. Thank you. No, I am.
How are you feeling, Lana? Yeah, I'm all right, you know? Yeah.
Yeah, I'm fine. Yeah? Yeah.
# I think I'm getting worse
# I don't remember happy... #
I might go bougie PJs tonight. Ooh, she likes him!
THEY LAUGH
No, I'm gonna do my grey ones.
# Pretty for when I start to dream Every little piece of me
# Gets a little close To the edge of darkness... #
What you feeling? It's up to him, innit? Yeah.
I've just said, "I'm not interested in games."
We have to remember, we're all here to find a connection.
If someone comes in and is able to turn someone's head,
it's better happens earlier rather than later. 100%.
# I know I've been here before
# Long as I'm not falling off I'll be fine... #
I need to just quickly get to know her
and, look, tomorrow, I'll make a decision,
and then I'll fucking get my grafting boots back on
and I'll win her back.
You've just got to think, man, it's early days still.
# Because if you need a minute Take a minute
# Like it's all that you've got
# Another hour, doesn't matter
# If it helps you to stop Counting the days that you lost
# Over and over... #
HE YELLS AND LAUGHS
I miss her already.
I just said, "Look, I'm calling it off now..."
I'm just not gonna be an option.
This is the face I could wake up to every day.
Mm.
# No-one said it's easy
# But it's easy to forget What they say
# Another hour doesn't matter
# If helps you to take back All the days that you lost
# Anything can happen If you want it enough
# Oh, oh, oh, oh
# Anything can happen If you want it enough. #
# I want those kisses... #
IAIN: Last night, Lana told Ron
she doesn't like playing silly games.
As a result, the producers have postponed today's game,
Jiggy Piggy Jenga Time.
Probably for the best, actually.
# I could live this moment... #
Rise and shine, beautiful!
Come here.
I love this room, I don't wanna leave.
I feel like, being in here makes you see,
like, what it's gonna be like with the person outside. Mm.
If this is what's to come, I'm here for it.
Shaq attack.
# I haven't felt this for a while
# But I could live this moment... #
Come on, we need to see what Tanya's been doing!
I mean, if they have done the deed, that's pretty serious.
Tanya, come home!
SHAQ: We're back! We're back!
CHEERING
How are you feeling? Sad to be back, to be honest.
Fucking sick!
SHE SCREAMS, THEY LAUGH
# Strawberry lipstick I could live this moment... #
Nah! Have a shower before you come near me.
What did you get up to last night? THEY SCREAM
Oh, my God. You guys are the best, honestly.
I knew as soon I saw your eyes.
Don't push me in.
SCREAMING
I can't wait any longer. I need to know what happened in this game.
He was just telling me how much he likes me...
and he was like, "This alone time is nice,
"cos it makes you see, like, how you're gonna be
"with someone outside." Yeah.
And we got into the bed...
ALL: Oooh...
..and got down and dirty!
CHEERING
Bro, this room was insane.
Rose petals, champagne, and lube, massage oil.
We just, like, we was exploring, playing with the handcuffs.
All I'm gonna say, I'm a five-star general.
Ah!
Bruv. That's huge.
Every day is an opportunity for me to get to know her on a deeper level
and I feel like last night, I definitely did that.
And today, I'm just on cloud nine, bro. Like, nothing,
I don't think anything can bring me down today, bro.
Oh, my God, you missed so much. Yeah, you did.
Oh, my God. Stop. Fill me the fuck in!
Me and Ron fell out.
Why?
Because he's decided that he wants to get to know Ellie.
I think the thing with me, though, is it was more about, like...
like, he'll bring me a coffee and give me a kiss
like we're in a bloody relationship,
and now you want to get to know someone else.
He wanted to do both and I'm like, you can't do both.
I just feel like he needs to figure it out today.
And probably, you need to figure it...
Like, I think that you should figure it out for yourself, too,
and not just leave the ball in Ron's court.
So, for me, it's like,
this is something we obviously either have to...
Overcome.
Yeah.
Or he finds a connection with you.
But I'm just taking a step back from the situation for now.
Anything happen while I was away? Ron? Yeah.
Er...
HE SIGHS It was just a bit peak, really.
Basically, I had a conversation with Lana
and I said I was gonna close things off with Ellie.
But later on in the night,
when I had a conversation with Ellie, I just didn't.
And then, obviously, spoke to Lana about it
and she basically said she's gonna step away.
So, yeah, me and Lana are just taking a bit of a breather.
What the fuck?
Whilst I have conversations with Ellie, basically.
Is that what you want? Is that what you want, though?
I feel like I need to give myself time to just have a day with her,
get to know her,
and if I don't think that there's a spark there,
then you'd best believe that I'll be back on the job,
and I'll graft my arse off to get Lana back.
Do you not think that's a bit bad on Lana, though?
I'm your boy, yeah, and I'm gonna be...
I'm gonna keep it 100 with you, yeah?
I don't agree with what you're saying.
If you had said from the start, "Lana's my number one,
"it would take a lot for my head to be turned,
"but I'm gonna explore everyone,
"other girls that come in here, et cetera..." Cool.
But you've gone to her, said,
"OK, I'm investing 100% of my energy into you,
"it would take a serious amount for my head to turn."
You're planning stuff on the outside.
You said last night you were gonna cut things off with Ellie,
and then you've done a complete 360 on her
and her feelings and her emotions,
to then just say, "Oh, do you know what..."
Which I do get.
Cos she could lose trust in you altogether.
You could fuck up something you really want.
But we can only say so much. It's completely up to you.
None of us are on the inside of yours and Lana's relationship,
we don't know the ins and outs of it.
You do whatever you think is right. You've got to do what's best.
And if it doesn't work out, it doesn't. If it does, it does.
IAIN: Yesterday, Ron decided to make hay while the sun shines,
and today, he's taken that hay and knitted an awful hat.
I feel like I've really settled in today.
Yeah. I'm in a good mood today.
That's good. Yeah, I'm in a really good mood, I'm excited.
That's good. Yesterday, I was trying to feel it out.
Yeah. And it was that first day, feel it out,
obviously it's bound to be a little bit hostile.
I think every bombshell that's come in has been like that,
because it's basically analysing the situation. 100%.
And then looking and dealing with everyone else
who's trying to work out the vibe.
So, first day... Yeah, assessing you.
I love it, but sometimes I'm like,
fucking everyone needs to lighten up.
TEXT ALERT
I've got a text!

CHEERING, WHOOPING
Oh, my God.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Date, date, date!

# Body on my mind I got your body on my mind...#
CHEERING, APPLAUSE
Enjoy.
WHISTLING
It looks so good. Now, that's nice.
IAIN: It's date time, and you know what that means.
# Ron and Ellie sitting in a tree
# P-I-S-S-I-N-G... # off Lana.
Look at this view.
A little bit of champers as well. Yes.
Oh, my God, this is so cute!
Cheers. To our date. First date.
This is a spot. Look at this. So nice.
Like... The view.
There's not a lot of better places to have a first proper date.
I'm not gonna lie, when I got the text
and I saw "Ellie and Ron",
I was like... MOCK SCREAMS
Buzzing? Buzzing, I was like...
I'm always buzzing to be on dates and get out of the villa.
You're happy to be with me specifically.
I'm happy to be on a date with you.
I'm so glad I got to just have
a bit of one-on-one time with you today, though,
because just don't feel like I've had a chance.
Forget everything else that's going on there,
we can just see where the vibe is. We can see whether or not...
What do you think of the vibe, though?
You keep saying, "I'll see where the vibe is."
We haven't had time, right. So, for me, the vibe...
I obviously find you really attractive, right?
And you do have a lot of energy. You're very flirty.
I've definitely initiated with you,
and I definitely will just naturally,
because I think you're so handsome and so funny,
and I really just like being around you. Yeah.
I'm happy we're still sharing a bed, to be honest.
Are you gonna talk to me tonight?
I'll give you some pillow talk tonight.
I want a bit of pillow talk. Not too much.
I just don't want you to be on the other side of the room.
What do you want me to do, starfish all over you?
Yeah, a little bit. A little bit.
Yeah, I do.
Oh, my God, OK, I think you should sit on this side.
LAUGHTER Away from the treehouse.
Stop looking! Sit down. Talk to me.
How are you feeling? I'm OK. I'm just like...
If you want to get with her, get with her.
Do you think I'm bothered?
I am bothered, but I'm not that bothered.
I would be bothered, too. I can't lie.
I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't. If he chooses her this early...
we were never right. But yeah...
If he wants to do what he's doing, then let him crack on.
Where do you feel like your head's at?
It's still a bit scrambled.
I still do have strong feelings for Lana,
and they're not going away.
Obviously, you're being pushed to make rash decisions,
which is, like, not natural.
Think about your whole experience in here as well.
You have a long time to go. That's the thing.
I do have a crazy thought process when it comes down to it.
It's not like I make decisions.
I will never let someone rush me to a decision.
That's why I wanted to get to know you. Mm.
Rather than people saying, "No, just turn it off,
"and just stay with Lana." Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I don't want to be with someone that's gonna be, like,
looking back at Lana. Yeah.
At the same time, I do feel like you will restrict your experience
if you go back there, because you essentially, like,
probably wouldn't be able to explore any more.
Look, I appreciate that, and I won't make rash decisions,
but at least you know where my headspace is at. Yeah.
I know where your headspace is at. Yeah. Cheers to that.
Cheers to a nice date, and to getting to know you. Yes.
IAIN: Luckily, Ron and Ellie's treetop date's finished,
because Lana just booked a lumberjack on Fiverr.
Hello. We're back. CHEERING
Oi, oi!
Whoo!
How was it? It was good. It was nice.
Come debrief. Ron, lead us, little fire pit.
Welcome back. Thank you. What's been going on?
I wanna start this off, I just want to ask you
if you had a good time? Without anything else.
We just got to know each other a bit.
You know, find out a bit more about her and stuff.
Did you like what you found out?
I'll be honest, mate, it's just not there.
We had a really good chat.
We obviously had a really good brunch date
and then we had a really good treetop date.
I just totally, like, have left it up to him.
Like, I haven't been... I haven't overly pulled him,
I haven't overly initiated a conversation about the situation,
cos I've been in here, like, a day or two.
She's very forward with everything.
She's very touchy-feely, she's very flirty.
It's all right, mate...
Like that, basically. She's almost too forward for me.
The thing that... kind of annoyed me the most
was that she just keeps firing little digs at me and Lana.
I don't feel like I've come in here and majorly had eyes for Ron.
I have spoken to the other guys and I've had good chats
with the other boys, and I've not pressured Ron.
I haven't been like, "I am only gonna look at you and blah-blah..."
I'm just very relaxed about it.
Even though you feel like you know, don't say to Lana... No, I'm not.
"..I know and it's dead." Actually take a second.
So, basically... Because you don't want to say something to her
and then there be... You know what I mean? I know.
He basically still just said he doesn't want to make rash decisions.
Like, we didn't end it and he was giving a definitive answer.
He was kind of just like, you know, leaving it open.
She's just trying so hard to stick it on me.
And I know that's the aim of the game
when you come in as a bombshell, but she's just sticking it on me,
flirting, and almost forcing flirting.
The date was fine/good.
But that's it. It wasn't special.
Like, I'm gonna simmer on it, simmer on the date,
just my initial feelings towards how the date went,
but if the chat's just a bit null and void and forced,
the same as it was there,
I feel like I need to say, "I'm just not feeling the spark,
"I don't feel like it's there." TEXT ALERT
I got a text!
What? He's got a text!
READS TEXT
CHEERING
Whoo!
She's going on a date! It's so cute, you're gonna love it.
Just go in your boxers. I could do.
Let's go.
CHEERING
Bye, guys! Enjoy!
I need to see your soft side?
Do you? Yeah.
You'd better ask the right questions, then!
Aw! Oh, we've got a ladder.
Aw!
Whaaaat? This is so cute!
I mean, this view is great.
What a date! We've got deers, mountains...
And a hot girl.
Where?
Are you... So windy. ..this bantery all the time?
No. Like, in serious situations, I kind of can be a lot more...
Yeah. ..sensible.
Cos I like banter, but I love when someone can,
you know, balance it.
Yeah, I've definitely got a deeper side to me. Yeah.
I've definitely seen glimpses of that of you,
but I would like to see more.
You'd like to see more of that, would you? Yeah.
For me, it's like, I have to trust someone, really,
and know them to be a bit more open. OK.
Are you glad I picked you? Yeah, of course.
Yeah? Yeah.
I feel like we've got a bit about us. Yeah.
We've got good chemistry, you know? You think we've got good chemistry?
A little bit. Hm.
I must admit, after a day,
I feel a lot closer with you than I have with other girls. Yeah.
I feel like I've known you for a lot longer than just, like, a day.
It's really weird.
You know, like, do you feel the same, or what?
Yeah, definitely. I think you're very straight-up and honest.
I've always been straight up with girls that I've dated and, you know,
anyone, really, in my life.
100%. They always know where they stand.
That's good. Because I think that's the main importance,
is just knowing where you stand.
Who would you have picked if there was a re-coupling?
If you had to pick. Just going off attraction?
Yeah. Yeah, I would have picked you.
OK. Obviously, before, I would've picked Tom.
But from his actions lately, erm...
yeah, I wouldn't have picked him in that last re-coupling. Hm.
So, I'm sure we will go on a couple more dates, then. OK.
I'll soften you up, I think dates will soften you up.
Soften me up? Yeah.
I'm very soft. Maybe me a little bit.
I have got a little bit of an exterior, to be fair.
We'll break down those layers. Break down my barriers, you know?
Cheers. Cheers.
To a nice little treehouse date with a beautiful view.
The company was good as well, actually.
Surprisingly. It's always good.
IAIN: The date's over.
I like Spencer. He gave me condoms - large, obviously.
I use them as verruca socks at the swimming pool,
the ribbed ones really grip the tiles.
We're back! Hey!
CHATTER
Did you have a good time? Yeah.
Oh, I'm excited to hear about it. Oh, my gosh.
We had a little bit of champagne!
How was it, though? What happened?
Yeah, it's nice, to be fair. It's nice up there, innit?
Did you feel a romantic connection with her?
I think there is, you know, I think there is.
And I think it's just time, as well, like I've been here for a day.
Yeah. You like where it's going? Yeah.
She's honestly stunning, mate. She's so...
Yeah, I was looking at her thinking, like, yeah, you're good looking.
But with girls, I always show, like, just banter and stuff first.
Because if they can't hack that, then I don't care about,
like, the emotional side
cos that's like the first step, you know?
And Liv's smashed the first step.
So, yeah, I don't know, we'll see.
I'm excited to spend more time with her.
It was really nice to get him one-on-one because I feel like,
since he's come in, it's been, like, constant banter,
but I haven't really seen that, like, soft side of him.
And I said to him, "Look, I'm down for banter,
"but just not, like, constantly, because that does turn me off."
Yeah! I feel like he definitely did take it on board.
Any kisses? No kisses.
No kisses! No, no, no, no!
Little cuddle tonight?
Maybe. Yeah, I feel like a little cuddle
could be on the cards tonight. Cute one?
Yeah, a little cute one.
I'm happy for you! Thanks, guys.
IAIN STIRLING: As evening approaches,
Farmer Will's having a shower.
I'm guessing that's a "barn" dance.
Oh, if only they had a BAFTA for Best Voice-Over.
# Work for me, work for me One more time
# Work for me, work for me You know I love it when you... #
Ooh! Can't wait to tell everyone
about me and my friendship with Shaq.
Bro, I'm actually like your best friend.
You actually are, bro.
I don't think I've had a friend like you before.
# Work, baby, work Work, baby, work
# Ow! You know I love it
# Work, baby, work Work, baby, work
# It feels like a different... #
CHEERING
OK. I'm absolutely buzzing to be here. Let's all have a good night.
CHEERING
IAIN: When it comes to Ellie,
Ron's no longer able to keep his feelings under his hat,
cos I took Ron's monstrosity of a hat off him and burnt it.
How are you feeling now? Yeah, good.
Erm, I obviously just wanted to chat to you after, like, our date. Yeah.
Erm...
And just have a conversation about, you know...
..how it went and stuff and where I'm at with things and, you know...
Do tell. So, obviously, for me, like...
You know, I was... It was so...
It was nice for you to... pick me out of everyone,
after everything that you've seen. Mm-hm.
Erm, and I wanted to see whether someone's who's good-looking
to come in and see whether or not there was something that was better
than me and Lana, or could make me feel a certain way and you know,
confirm how I felt. Yeah.
Erm, and I feel like after the conversations we have
and the date we had, I just don't feel like there's,
like, a major spark between us that will change
the way I feel about Lana. Yeah.
And I just find myself just really falling back
and just, I do really care for the girl and I think
this has made me realise that I do really like her
and I love being around her,
and there's nothing that's coming close to that right now.
I feel like if you, like, keep gravitating
towards back to somebody, then, like, just do that.
Like, if I'm gonna make her my priority,
I need to make her my priority,
and I feel like that's what I need to do.
No, honestly, I appreciate it, but don't worry about me.
Anyways, I'm glad we had this conversation.
OK. Yeah. Come here.
Thank you. Thanks for coming over.
IAIN: Spencer's chatting to Lana. I like Spencer.
I actually offered to give his business a plug,
but he said he's got a cupboard full of them.
But, yeah, how are you tonight?
I'm good, to be fair. Obviously, I'm coupled with Liv.
Yeah. I think she's amazing.
Yeah, she's great. I think she's great, she's fiery.
You two would be probably the only two I look at and I think, for me,
attraction and everything else is kind of there. Yeah.
And personality-wise, you're very different,
but you're both personality wises that I kind of go for.
Yeah. You know what, it's funny you say that, because me and Liv
are very different personalities, but we're best friends.
But you get on. So we're like chalk and cheese,
but in the best way, do you know what I mean? Yeah.
You are, like, someone I'd look at and think,
"Oh, wow, she's an attractive girl." Oh, thanks.
So I just wanted to know if you are still closed off,
or if you are open to chatting more and getting to know other people?
So, I know that I like Ron, and we do have a connection.
We've been in here together for, like, ten days,
but I'm not closed off. Mm.
I think you're a really nice guy and I think you're attractive. Yeah.
So I am open to get to know you, definitely. Yeah.
Spencer is a lovely guy. I mean, it won't do any harm
for Ron to see that another guy has taken an interest in me.
I think Ron might be a little bit jealous, but so he should be.
I've been jealous for days on end now,
so it's time he got a taste of his own medicine.
IAIN: Ron tried to remain level-headed,
but he lost his head after his head was turned when Ellie headed in.
But he gave his head a wobble and realised he was head over heels.
How are you? Yeah, I'm OK, are you?
Yeah. Well, "ish."
Oh, where do I start?
I know I fucked up.
I'm not good at this stuff. And that's no excuse.
I regret saying it cos it's... I understand, like,
you'll lose faith in me and lose faith in my words
when I say something and don't do it. Mm.
And I get that. And I understand, like,
you're not just gonna get walked over
and that's part of the reason why I like you so much.
I've spoken to her, had conversations with her.
I don't regret getting to know her.
I needed it.
But, at the same time...
I didn't feel right because nothing's coming close to you. Mm.
You are on my mind all the time. You are my priority.
I haven't cared about someone like this for a very long time,
if at all.
If a bloke walks in and sweeps you off your feet, you know,
I have to allow you to do that. Yeah.
It's what you've allowed me to do. And I'll do the same.
You just need to be straight about things. Yep.
And stop beating around the bush about it.
If you're gonna get to know someone, just come and tell me.
Yeah. I get that. And we'll work on it from there.
Yeah. D'you know what I mean? I get that.
From this, I am more open as well. Yep.
I'm not closed. Yeah.
I spoke to Spencer tonight. I saw.
He wants to get to know me. Mm.
And I said I'm open to get to know him. Yep.
Not that I should tell you this because you don't deserve it,
but I said that you are my number one priority in here.
So, I'm obviously gonna chat to him a bit.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which I get.
Yeah. But this is me telling you straight,
which you should've done with me. Yeah, I know.
You know, I was sad last night. So was I.
Like, I did miss you.
That step back doesn't mean I've stepped forward.
Yeah, I know. I'll get us back now, though.
# I'm in a field of dandelions Wishing on every one... #
I missed you. I missed you, too.
CHEERING
IAIN: The Islanders are gonna play a game of dares, and it must be good
cos they've added an extra part to the show tonight.
To get the clue, they have to burst the balloon in a sexy way.
Oof! To be fair, there's men who'd pay good money for that.
CHEERING
OK... Shit.
Oh, fuck's sake!
OK, "Snog the two Islanders that you think are attracted to you".
SCREAMING
ALL: Ooooooh!
SHOUTING AND CHEERING
Ahh!
# If you see us in the club We'll be acting real nice
# If you see us on the floor You'll be watching all night
# If you see us in the club... #
Oh, "Snog the three girls you think are the sexiest in the villa".
ALL: Oooooh!
Yeah, yeah!
CHEERING AND LAUGHTER
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Yeah, you dirty dog!
SCREAMING
Shit!
"Which Islander of the opposite sex gives you the ick and why?"
I'll take this!
Will. No surprise there!
Will, like, does this roar...
Ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra!
LAUGHTER
And it's just like, oh, my God!
But I love you, though. Oh, love you too.
Come on, Ellie! Let's go.
OK... Tom. Come on, Tom.
CHEERING
OK, OK. You got it.
LAUGHTER
OK.
snog the fittest Islander of the opposite sex.
ALL: Oooooooh!
CHEERING
IAIN: If you're just joining us,
you're probably wondering what the hell's going on.
Actually, if you been watching from the start,
you're probably wondering what the hell's going on.
Basically, they're playing dares.
"Give your sexiest lap dance
"to the boy you think is the sexiest in the villa."
CHANTING Oh!
SCREAMING, CHEERING
Whay! Whay!
CHANTING Oh!
CHEERING, LAUGHTER
Will. Go on, son.
ALL: Whay! Whoo!
Oh, this is bad.
"Slow dance with the Islander who you think is the most boring."
ALL: Ooh!
SHAQ: Who's...? SCREAMING
ALL CLAP
LAUGHTER
SCREAMING
"Which Islander do you think is the most likely
"to talk behind your back?" Ooh!
Damn!
Well, I feel like we've already seen it,
so I'm going to have to go with Zara, so...
Ooh! My eye hurts!
My eye hurts! Argh!
I think Aaron just thinks that I'm just trying to start drama.
Why? I haven't got any reason to.
ALL: Whoo!
JESSIE: Reverse cowgirl!
"Which couple..." Oh.
"..do you think has the most potential
"for lasting a relationship, and which has the least?"
So, obviously I'm gonna go with, uh, Tanya and Shaq.
Thank you. And I'm gonna choose the least...
Zara and Tom. Sorry.
Whoo! APPLAUSE
Sorry, Tom.
Can I do it on a girl?
Come on, then. Come on.
No, opposite sex! Nah, fuck it. What shall we do?
Come and give it to me.
LAUGHTER
"Name the boy you think your family would most like
"you to couple up with and why."
I've said this before, but I feel like Tom
because he's very respectful, and I know my mum would love him.
APPLAUSE
Tom has, how do we put it...?
Never really left my mind.
Erm, Kai.
SHE CHUCKLES Come on.
I don't know what to do, though.
Put your legs round. I've got a skirt on. Oh!
APPLAUSE
Yeah, yeah. Oh, God.
OK. OK. "Snog the Islander that you think
"is the most trustworthy and blow a kiss to the least trustworthy."
Most trustworthy...
This is so cringe.
Oh, my God! That's so fucking weird.
Least trustworthy...
Erm...
Zara.
OK. What are you thinking? SHE GIGGLES
Spoon. Spoon? Yeah. On the fl...
Oh, for fuck's sake. Oh, little spoon.
LAUGHTER
APPLAUSE
Oh, god. SHE GIGGLES
HE COUGHS Oh, shit...
"Which three Islanders would make up your perfect partner?"
"Choose one for the face, one for the body
"and one for the personality."
LAUGHTER
For the face, I'm gonna go... Olivia.
For the body, I'm gonna go Zara.
And for the personality, I'm gonna go Lana.
APPLAUSE
# Hold your breath We're not turning back... #
Are you OK? No, I just can't be arsed.
IAIN: Tensions are rising.
All the girls picked Tom. Liv picked Tom, like, twice.
Tom's actually been really good to you. What?!
So, picking Liv's face, like, I'm not just a fucking booty to you.
I know, but...
I came down tonight for no drama, and who gave me the drama? Him.
If you don't like me, move from me.
