IAIN STIRLING: Previously, on Love Island...
Feel like I'm in a movie.
IAIN: ..there was romance...
No-one compares to you, or how I feel.
What I've got with you is very special. Mm.
I want to be exclusive with you.
That's not the first time I've seen her
having one-on-one chats with him.
That shit pisses me off, man, I can't lie.
IAIN: ..suspicion...
What, I need to tell you every time I chat to Mimii, then?
Ugh!
What we had, it hasn't disappeared.
I'm kissed off at the way you spoke to me there.
IAIN: ..and declarations.
I'm still very open to getting to know other people.
Our connection will grow stronger,
as long as he remembers communication is key.
Nicole, do you wanna be my girlfriend?
Yes, obviously!
IAIN: Tonight...
If we're being real though, Mimii's still in the equation.
Oh-ho-ho!
IAIN: ..the truth...
What don't you like about your partner? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
IAIN: ..is...
Why are you feeding yourself this bullshit?
IAIN: ..served.
Which couple do you think won't last outside the villa?
What?
# Loving all the lights Flashing on me
# Moving through the night... #
IAIN STIRLING: The recoupling's over.
I actually helped Mimii correct a couple of mispronunciations
in her speech.
She kept on pronouncing relationship "rel-ah-shon-ship".
And she kept pronouncing Josh "Ayo".
How did that speech make you feel? How did it make you feel?
Good. Yeah?
Reassured. Good.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Reassured.
Mimii, your speech was so good. Was it? Yeah.
So was yours, babe. Moved me. Yeah, man.
SHE CHUCKLES
Mate, I'm buzzin' for ya.
You look amazing. Really?
Like, amazing. So do you, though.
Thank you, but no, I just...
Thank you for that speech.
I really appreciate that.
Yeah? Yeah, man. That made me feel good.
That's public the best I've felt since I've been in here.
Really? Yeah.
Good.
Yeah, that speech was, in a way,
what I needed to hear without realising.
Mm?
And it's just almost like, as soon as I heard you say those words,
everything just kind of soothed in me.
Like I said, I'm a slow burner, do you know what I mean?
I'm kind of adjusting.
I wanna make sure you're good, you're comfortable.
Also be respectful to everyone around us, do you know what I mean?
It's just me being me, do you know what I'm saying?
I'm very territorial sometimes.
It's a good and bad thing, you know what I mean? Mm.
But I hope in this case, it's a good thing.
To an extent, because that does scare me, do you know what I mean?
Yeah.
Do you feel like I'm allowing you to have your space and your time to...
Do you know what? I'm a chilled girl.
Yeah. It kind of, like, threw me off, though. Mm?
HE CHUCKLES, SHE LAUGHS NERVOUSLY
Let's go! OK.
Let's go.
You do look really sharp today, though.
I only do it to impress you, of course.
Do you wanna come and get a drink or shall I get it for you?
No, no, let's go. Yeah?
Babes, you wanna talk, or no? Yes.
Are you all right, though?
Yeah, I'm all right. Like, you good?
Yeah, I'm sweet. What's the problem?
Is there a problem? No. OK.
Everything's sweet, then.
I had to get my little dig in that speech.
I don't even think it was a dig. It wasn't even that bad, you know?
What is a dig?
I said, "I know that our connection will grow stronger as long as you
"remember communication is key," which is facts, no?
To you, yeah, I guess.
Yeah. There you go.
I dunno why you'd wanna draw me out in front of everyone.
SHE SCOFFS
But I guess if that's what you wanna do, that's what you wanna do, innit?
You made up for whatever happened earlier.
Clearly not. What you mean, "clearly not"?
Cos you tried to draw me out in front of everybody.
No, I didn't. So what did you do, then?
So you're gonna pick out one small thing over...
I'm not picking out nothing small.
We are just, like, talking about your speech.
What about everything else I said? Yeah.
Ugh, it's like talking to a wall!
SCREAMING
I'm gonna get a drink, I'm gonna get a drink.
Whoa, steady! Come on, come on.
Cheers to love. ALL:Cheers to love.
I love love.
LAUGHTER
I can't believe I've got a boyfriend. Wait, what?
I didn't expect to be leaving here with a boyfriend.
Oh, my God, I got a missus.
Yeah! You're not getting rid of me now.
Good. I wouldn't have asked you otherwise.
If you'd said no, obviously I'd just straight up go, "See you all later."
As if I'd ever say no.
But you may have thought,
you may have gone, "Aw, that was cringy. Fuck."
No, it was actually perfect.
It was, like, the best thing
that could have happened tonight, that was.
And I feel like that was the next step for us, like. Yeah.
And I'm really happy that we've got to this stage.
Like, everything is going really well,
everything is going perfect for me.
The trust is coming, and I don't think you realise
how big it is for me to have trust with somebody. No, I do. I do.
The rugby boy thing been proven otherwise. Have I proved myself now?
Yeah, you have. Aw, come on!
You actually have!
Like, even doing that tonight, you have changed my mind on it.
And, like, I never thought I'd say this,
but I am so madly in love with you, it's unbelievable now.
Like, this needed to happen tonight.
Yeah? Good. I'm really happy.
I'm happy. Good!
Love you. Love you.
When we sat down, he was like, "Oh, you made little digs."
And I said to him, "Do you actually think that was a draw-out?"
He was like, "Well, yeah, you did draw me out in front of everyone."
He's embarrassed, but it was a fair comment,
you said it in a respectful way.
It's like talking to a wall. Like, I just don't get much.
I'm struggling, guys. I'm actually struggling.
His communication style just doesn't work with yours,
and I feel like it's just something that he needs to work on.
He's just not that way inclined, is he?
He just talks... He talks in riddles.
Yeah. Like, I just...
If he's got a problem with it, he should have vocalised that to you
in an emotionally mature way, and he hasn't.
I think, with me, it's just,
I can kind of read between lines of things,
so I can piece together, do you know what I mean?
But it is hard for him
to actually speak in full sentences or what exactly...
THEY LAUGH
How are you doing, girlie?
With Josh, it's going well, but it's quite intense,
do you know what I mean?
Like, obviously, he's coming for me, and that's nice...
Yeah, you wanted that, but at the same time...
But at the same time, yeah. Do you know what I mean, because...
You're a chill girl.
Do you know what, I was feeling so good about it,
but it feels a bit, like, eggshell-y, deal with I mean?
Because, yes, it's going well... It's like he needs more reassurance.
Yeah, and I understand that cos obviously, you're coming in here,
you're getting to know me, also the girls getting to know who's in here,
and I understand that completely. Weird situation.
But, like, come on, do you know what I mean?
I'm a very respectful girl, I'm not gonna do anything to make you worry,
and if there is any worry, I tell you, do you know what I mean?
Yeah.
With, like, men like him, I feel like it's easy to bruise the ego...
Yeah, I think that's the same with Ayo.
His ego is maybe a little bit bruised from the comment.
Do feel like he's a bit clingy? Without saying those words?
I don't think he's clingy, I think he's just...
He's coming here for you. He's so into you.
Honestly, that's the correct energy,
but is the pressure that comes with it, cos obviously, he's coming here.
I don't know, like, where his head's at.
I don't know if there's anyone here that he actually
wants to get to know, but he's just focused on me.
I mean, it's amazing, but you're still trying to catch your breath
about, like, the Ayo thing, as well, and, like...
Do you know what I mean? Everything's a lot.
IAIN: After flight attendant Lolly picked Konnor, he said,
"Be warned, I'm coming in to this with a bit of baggage."
She said, "As long as it fits in the overhead locker
"or under the seat in front of you."
I did have doubt, there's a little bit of doubt, as well,
cos obviously I'm not the only person you spoke to.
Mm-hm.
Erm, but I thought, "What will be, will be."
What will be, will be.
What's meant to be, will be.
Exactly. Exactly that.
Yeah, obviously, you've been in, a couple, few situations in here.
Right, so, I've been in a friendship couple...
Yeah.
..with Grace, and then from Grace was Emma, which was a couple,
but the connection wasn't really there, if you know what I mean.
Mm-hm.
We did, we got along, but it just weren't really there, so...
Yeah, yeah. You can't force anything, can you? No, you can't.
I know you're chill and relax anyway, so...
Yeah, yeah, course.
..I didn't even need to say that up there, but I just wanted
you to know, just because I chose you, short and sweet.
I was like, "That was perfect." Perfect.
OK, fine, that's good. I'm glad it was OK.
Yeah, good. I like the gold and black, as well.
Oh, do you like it? Thank you.
Do you like silver, as well? Or are you more of a gold person?
Do you know? I don't.
I feel like this little Greek ring...
I know that's great because when I was in Crete,
I could tell by the pattern. Oh, yeah, Malia.
Yeah! THEY LAUGH
I don't ever say "Malia", I say "Crete".
I know, I'm like, "Come on!"
Yeah, it just sounds better, doesn't it?
Yeah, it does.
All right?
Yeah. Erm...
I know I haven't been easy the last two days.
Probably not, yeah?
I can put my hands up and say I understand that maybe
I haven't been The best at communicating what's
going on in my head or what I'm overthinking, or what's wrong.
I really like you.
Like, seriously.
I didn't pick you for no reason from Casa.
Mm?
What I'm trying to say, I wasn't trying to make anybody happy
but myself and yourself. Mm-hm.
That's why I did that.
No, but I don't actually think I said anything that was really...
I don't think I said anything degrading, I just said,
"Our connection will continue to grow if you communicate",
because, babes, you didn't communicate with me.
Like, you didn't tell me you had a chat with Mimii,
which was something that you could have easily expressed to me,
because you know that I'm an understanding person
and you know that I would have felt no way about it.
My thing is just that I wanna talk to you.
I don't wanna explain myself to anybody else.
I hear that.
But, babe, this is my problem.
You want someone that is gonna tell you how it is, and in no way,
I need you to know, in no way was I ever trying to stand up there
and draw you out or embarrass you or make you feel a type of way or catch
you off-guard.
I don't think you meant to do that, but that's what...
That was the case, though.
But I would never, I would never, ever do that to you.
I would never wanna make you feel that way. But...
Yeah.
What?
Nothing.
Come here.
SHE SIGHS
We're still learning each other, aren't we?
That's fine.
That's the whole point.
The whole point of... This.
Yeah? OK, come on.
Yeah, yeah.
IAIN STIRLING: As Jess told Ayo, communication is key.
I was saying that to my mum the last time I called her,
Christmas Day 2015.
Who's Nicole?
THEY LAUGH
It's me, bitches.
I just wanna let you know... Mm? ..you absolutely smashed it.
Thank you.
You really, really smashed it.
In my opinion, that was the best one. Mm!
# You saw me naked Totally freakin' out
# Afraid to say it I think I love you now
# Don't hurt my feelings... #
Guys, what a day. What a day!
Night! ALL SHOUT
# You do, baby, a social butterfly
# About to save me, typical Gemini
# Trying my best To savour your compliments
# Honest to God Can't take the half of it. #
# We're both young, full of freedom
# Skippin' school Livin' the dream, yeah
# We've both grown New perspectives... #
IAIN STIRLING: Last night, Ciaran said Nicole was his GF.
Nicole said Ciaran was her BF,
while Jess thought that Ayo was full of BS.
Well, morning, everyone. Morning. Morning.
Morning.Morning.
How was your first sleep as boyfriend and girlfriend?
SQUEALS It was really good. Really good.
# Like Jack and Jill Playing on the hillside
# We didn't realise that We were living in our best time
# The best times
# We were living our best life The best lives... #
Cooking up another storm, Ciaran?
# We're all right, we're all right
# With all the friends who make it So right, so right
# And we'll stay young forever... #
Good morning, everyone. Good morning, girls!
Thank you, my darling. Thank you!
Erm, can you tell Nicole that she needs to hurry up and go to the den?
Whoa! Interesting!
# All the friends who make it So right, so right
# And just remember that We're all right, we're all right
# All the friends that make it So right, so right
# And we'll stay young forever. #
Oh, I love it! Mm. Mwah.
Thanks, babe. No worries.
I'm actually starving this morning as well.
I couldn't foam the milk, the foam milk thing smelt weird.
Mm-hm.
Oh, that's so cute. Bon appetit.
SHE CHUCKLES I could get used to this, you know.
Boyfriend making breakfast for me every single day.
Er, yeah, let's not get used to that.
SHE GIGGLES
How are you this morning? Good. Really good.
This is the best morning in here for me.
I'm glad.
Do you know why I done it under here? Why?
I know why. This is where we had our first kiss?
Mm-hm. Good!
Remember when all you girls voted me least boyfriend material?
SHE GIGGLES
Yeah, we've been proven wrong.
Yesterday for me was the best day in the villa for me by miles.
Come on, come on! A very special moment.
How about you? How's things? Things are good, bro...
Mm. ..until she had to say,
"Just as long as you remember that communication is key."
You didn't need to do that. Oh, OK.
Is that whole Mimii thing closed now?
Smoothed over? Yeah. I really enjoy my time with Jessica.
As I say, I just wanna continue, and that's dead.
I'm not trying to be going back and forth with the girl. Mm.
How you feeling, Reuben, about last night?
Obviously, with the re-coupling last night,
really good vibes, love was in the air,
and then it got to my speech,
and then it started off well, and it was like...
She was like, "Yeah, obviously, enjoying getting to know..."
SCREECHES, THEY LAUGH
But, yeah, I be lying if I said that I wasn't a bit upset by it.
It's not nice to hear at all. Then it makes you start thinking,
"Oh, OK, well, is she actually into me like that?"
All that kind of thing. Yeah.
But, yeah, just wanna kinda reassure her
that I'm not bloomin' head-over-heels in love with her.
THEY LAUGH You know what I mean?
I slept really well, you know, actually. Yeah.
I didn't have a cuddle or anything like that,
but it was just really nice.
I'm really, really excited to, like, you know,
carry on with where we left yesterday.
Yeah, I'm excited. Yeah. How about you girls?
Yeah, I had a great night's sleep. Mrs Exclusive and ting.
I really do just wanna lay and cuddle with him the whole day.
Do you know what I mean? Tilds, that's so cute!
I feel so, so, so happy.
How are you feeling about the sitch now?
Are you kind of dead and burying the whole Ayo thing or what?
I think we both acknowledge that the feelings are still there,
but cos we're in separate situations now, out of respect,
we need to leave that there and focus on what we have.
It's difficult cos when I have conversations with him,
it always kind of swings back to old habits,
so I've been trying to avoid that. Yeah. Yeah.
I see you two talking, you can just tell...
The chemistry's mad. I know.
I know, babe. It must be fuckin' hard.
Mm-hm. It's just a lot to take in, girl.
IAIN STIRLING: By the looks of it, Grace is about to enjoy
a lovely bowl of Best Cereal Choco Crunch.
By the sounds of it, she should have gone for Frosties.
Buenos dias, mamita. Hello.
Can I take you for a chat? Can I just eat? And then we'll go.
Er... OK.
Or, actually, you know what? Could we put the eating on hold?
JESSY:Hey, that's a bit of a hangry conversation, there.
Come on, then. She's doing that on purpose...
That was actually...
..just to make sure she gets a little bit of...
She's up to something, that's what she's up to.
REUBEN HUMS
How are you? I'm good, thank you, and yourself?
I'm good, thank you. That's good.
Did you have a good sleep last night?
Yeah, did you? Yeah.
Apart from the odd, er... whoa, whoa!
Twitching? Twitching.
Nah, I'm joking, it's cute.
Erm, so, yeah, last night, loved the... loved the old, er...
The speech? Yeah, I think, er... definitely said how you felt.
HE CHUCKLES Yeah.
Thinking about it, I feel like we probably...
You could have said that maybe just between us two.
How I'm looking at it is I feel like it's more you
saying to everyone else, with the pressure and that...
That was just me being open. 100%, yeah.
And obviously I started being super, like, nice and complimentary,
and didn't wanna go straight into that. Yeah, 100%.
But it was just me kind of saying, like,
I want you to feel like you can be open, and as am I.
Like, even though we're gonna be in a couple, which I am excited for.
Yeah, I think I just owe it to myself at least just to say.
Yeah, of course. Yeah, yeah. I didn't do it to, like,
ever feel like I'm doing it in front of everybody
or I hope you didn't feel a type of way like I was...
do you know what I mean, screaming and shouting it
to everybody else, because it wasn't that.
It was literally, like, a speech for you,
regardless of anybody else listening.
Look, we're here for a reason, you're here for a reason,
and I'm not gonna lie, us in bed last night kind of...
The thought's... That's not an issue at all.
Good. OK. Yeah. You're looking nice today.
Yeah, you are, too. Lovely.
I'll let you return to your breakfast.
Thank you. Thank you.
I'm quite the romantic, so I was hoping, from her speech,
a little bit more, er... optimism, let's say,
a bit more hope in there.
But it seemed quite guarded, let's say.
I think there might be a few barriers there
that I might need to... You know what I mean?
Ugh. I was just a bit like...
This has pissed me off a bit, to be honest now.
I'm, like... Come on, now, actually...
I was feeling really good,
and I wanted to, like, spend my time with him,
and now he's just pissed me off. I'm just like, "Aw..."
Cos after your chat last night, you was like, "Oh, OK."
Yeah. I felt so much better.
Major slay at his matureness. "We're right on the same page."
And I wouldn't have cared if he brought it up,
like, I'm not a baby.
Like, I would've also been fine with speaking about it last night.
I just feel like the dust had settled,
and everything had been sorted, and we'd agreed on everything.
And then to sleep on it,
had a few cuddles last night cos I felt like,
"Yes, we're on the same page, comfortable, da-da-da,"
to now bringing that up right in the morning.
Like, I went to go and make some food
and I was like "Oh, can I just have this bowl of cereal?"
He was like, "No, no, no, I wanna chat now."
What the hell? I was like, "OK."
Did you bring your cereal?
No, I was like, "OK, I'll have it after, then."
What? I was like, "OK..."
I kind of love it, though.
So now I'm just like, "Ugh, you've pissed me off."
It's still a minor, but it's not like...
It is a minor. Cos he was like, "Me, I'm a very positive person."
But he was like, "I reckon if someone didn't have
"my headspace and mindset,
"they could've taken that quite negatively."
I'm like, "Well, they would need to grow up."
I wouldn't even let it piss you off.
No, I know. But I get it.
We'll come to Wales, you come to London,
and we can just stay at each other's.
I know. There's so many things that we can do as well in each area.
Like, you wouldn't probably come to Wales normally.No.
Whereas now we can go out on a night out in Cardiff.
I can't actually wait. Oh, don't.

Oh, I've got a text! What?

IAIN STIRLING: Reuben got a text,
telling him it was time for the challenge.
We sent the same text to Lolly first,
but she's always got her bloody phone on flight mode.

Our umpires for the day are Konnor and Lolly.
She gets to sit in the big chair

SQUEALS
Boys, if your partner wasn't coupled up with you,
who would they be coupled up with?
# This night Ain't for the faint of heart... #
My answer is Ciaran.
I feel like Matilda's best pals with Nicole in here,
and I feel like that would make sense.
Ciaran!
Yes!
We're having a foursome. What?
Ew!
I think Grace would pick Josh.
Because look at him, I don't blame her.
Josh!
I feel like if Grace was being totally honest,
she would have wrote my name.
JESS:I disagree. I disagree.
Joey, you wish.
I'm glad you didn't, and I'm looking at you, but it's the truth.
Joey, you're not Grace's type on the outside world.
Grace, it's so obvious. Come on, man.
How is it obvious?
We're trying to be friends. It's so obvious.
How is it obvious?
Stop trying to mix the pot. It's so boring. OK.
Do you want her to choose you or not?
Not at all. Well, then, stop. Stop.
To be fair, Grace, come on, now.
Shut up, Sean.
I'm disappointed
and I think the things that he was saying were very, very irrelevant.
Like, he was pulling it out of his arse.
Couples, between you both,
who is more emotionally invested in your relationship?
I've said myself.
I've actually got myself.
Personally, I would probably agree with Jess.
She is probably maybe just more openly affectionate.
He could be invested elsewhere, though. Do you know what I mean?
Like you was in Casa.
ALL: Oh!
You opened up that door, bro.
Sean, don't actually fuck with me.
# Never get off your high horse
# And never let them take Your crown. #
If we are being real, though, Mimii's still in the equation.
She's not though, is she?
Mimii, are you still in the equation?
I'm not in the equation. Exactly, so shut up.
I know, but there are still feelings there.
OK, Joey. Like you and Grace. OK.
Yeah, only it's one-sided in that situation.
You got him back literally five minutes ago, so calm down.
OK, Joey.
She is allowed to have an opinion as well.
I know, and I'm allowed to have my opinion.
I'm just saying I know Grace more than anyone here.
She can say what she wants to say.
# Bass high, middle night Ceiling low
# Sweat brow dripping down When in Rome
# No town does it Quite like my home. #
I have written down Reuben.
Reuben.
Sorry, I spelt your name wrong, babe.
Oh, that's fine.
Awkward.
Me. Josh.
I put Josh just cos I'm a slow burner, but so far, so good.
There's been a few conversations been had between you and Ayo
over the past couple of days.
Why does everyone keep bringing up the Ayo thing?
Cos they've got nothing else to talk about.
Know what I mean? It's done, man.
Boys, what don't you like about your partner?
Sweaty.
Sean, you make me sweaty.
Especially in the sheets, baby.
CHEERING
The Candyman. Come on.
I've gone for stubborn.
The not-looking-at-me game.
She likes to go around the villa
and sometimes just not look at me for hours.
He doesn't like me being friends with Grace.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. No, no, no.
I've said I'm cool with you and Grace.
She don't want you having me, but that's never gonna happen.
Since when? When have I ever said that?
Why are you feeding yourself this bullshit?
Like, when have I ever, ever, ever said that?
That's the truth.
I would say that with my chest. Honestly, I'm a very honest person.
OK. Stop.
It's giving Joey's not over the situation with Grace.
That's what it's giving. Really?
It is. That is done, that is dusted.
I'd never get back with Grace, I've made that very clear.
You're so bothered about it. I'm not bothered.
You're so bothered. I'm really not.
You are.
I feel like you're sabotaging what they've got going on.
In what way? How?
I've never...
Because you're trying to be friends with Jessy.
How is being friends...
How is being a genuine friend a sabotage?
We only became friends when Joey wasn't here.
# How you like that... #
Yes, Kon!
# How you like that... #

for a lot of things that you've said today.
I've literally completely moved on from Grace.
It don't look like it.
Look, I'll be real with you, trust me.
I'll be completely real with you right now.
Grace's feelings towards me are strong.
If Jessy weren't in the picture, you would choose me.
I just feel like what you're saying is so irrelevant,
because I've never given you an inkling
that I still have feelings for you,
or that there's anything still there.
Can you look at me when I'm speaking to you, please?
I've never, ever, done that.
Ever since I sat down, I said to you, "It's done,"
I'm taking a massive step back. Like, that's over for me.
Best of luck with Jessy. Thank you.
Exactly. And I've never... Cos I really like her.
I know you do. And I've been fine with it ever since.
You feel the same way.
Have I ever given you an inkling... Yes.
When? When? Yes. Round the villa.
It just comes off very obvious. When I see you, trust me, I know.
You do. OK. Please.
Well, I'm out, anyway. I'm out.
Obviously. Yeah, massively.
# I don't want to see That white flag waving.
# This is to the bitter end. #
Reuben, what have you written for that?
I picked Ayo and Jess.
I feel like Ayo is a bit of a free spirit. Mind wanders, so...
What?
He's just a confused, like...
He always just seems proper confused...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I did put Ayo and Jess.
LOLLY READS QUESTION
So, I've put Grace.
I feel like I've got Joey's back in here,
so I feel like you might have problem with me,
so you might bitch behind my back.
It's not about Joey right now.
I've chosen Joey. I think he's got the most opinions.
I've definitely never bitched about Sean.
The only reason I bitch about you now... Yeah?
is because you're a little bit of a copout.
# Make it pop DJ, blow my speakers out... #
Joey, what have you put as your answer?
Matilda, because she clearly takes sides.
LAUGHTER
I wrote Matilda, but I don't think you bitched about us.
I think I just had to go off what's happened today.
Fair enough.
If I had to pick someone, it's Joey.
Let me explain.
I've seen it myself where Joey is, you know,
maybe you'll make a comment to me,
and I've seen him walk off, go to that person,
and say the exact same comment to them.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I would say it would be Joey. I've picked Joey.
I've also picked Joey.
He's said a lot of irrelevant shit today.
Joey. Erm...
Sorry, not sorry. LAUGHTER
Joey's a cool guy,
but I go to admit, he's always got an opinion.
LAUGHTER And yeah, man.
Sorry, Joey, but I did... What are you saying?
I'm joking, I'm joking.
No, man, it's true. I say it how it is.
I am not afraid to say anything around anyone in in this villa.
If I've got something to say, I'll say it.
LOLLY READS QUESTION
# I've got to stay high all the time To keep you off my mind... #
I put Reuben and Grace.
I'd go based on what Joey's situation is, and...
so, sorry.
I mean, obviously, I've put Reuben and Grace.
We won't be talking on the outside.
Josh and Mimii.
Between Ayo and Mimii, it is a bit awks, so...
Yeah, naturally, Josh and Mimii.
Ayo and Jessica.
Ayo and Jess.
It's probably best we don't be bumping into each other
every other day.
So, we've got two winners today.
That will be Grace and Reuben, and Mimii and Josh.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Yeah!
CHEERING
Come on!
IAIN STIRLING: The tennis challenge is over,
and trust me, after what Joey said to Grace,
if she gets her hands on him right now,
he'll definitely be asking for... "new balls, please".
I feel really bad for Grace. It's so unnecessary.
Like, just leave the past in the past.
I'm friends with everyone in here, I don't have a problem with anyone,
but my answer for Grace would be because I've been supporting you,
and I feel like, out of anyone, Grace would bitch about me. Mm.
# Ring-ring, you number Sorry, I'm under another... #
I can't be arsed to have conversations I know I need to have.
What? With Joey? Yeah.
# Oh-oh, you're alone again Blowing up my phone again
# Tell me Who do you think you are...? #
Honest answers, do we think he still has feeling for you?
I don't. He's getting under my skin now
and bringing, like... It just felt personal today.
# Oh-oh, you're alone again Blowing up my phone again
# Tell me Who do you think you are...? #
Let's go! CHEERING
Good vibes tonight, guys. Drama's about to go down.
# Oh-oh, playing dead again Messing with my head again... #
Girls, I just wanna say a big cheers to making me feel so welcome
these past few days, it's honestly been amazing.
I'm so happy to have met you all, so...
Aw! Yeah, cheers.
CHEERING
MATILDA SIGHS All right, Joe?
What's happening, Tilds? What's happening?
How are you? I'm all right, you?
You all right? Yeah, I'm good, thanks.
Only come to have a little chat with you.Yeah, I know.
Got a few things to speak about, don't we?Yeah.
A few opposite opinions. Yeah, no, I know.
I... Actually, it takes a lot for me to get wound up about things,
but I think today, during that challenge,
you was a bit of an arsehole, do you know what I mean?
And I feel like surely you can hold your hands up about that.
Yeah, but it's funny that...
It's like everyone's having a pop at me, though.
I feel like I know what she's doing.
I've said from day one, I hope her intentions are pure,
but it just comes across that it's not. How?
She's actually, like, for Jessy, been such a good friend.
If you was so, like, happy with the situation you're in,
then why would you still be so bothered about Grace?
That's why I said the things I said.
Because Grace is walking round the villa
and she's best friends with the girl I'm trying to get to know.
I've dropped Grace out for this girl, completely,
and now she's best friends with her.
It's not ideal, do you know what I'm saying?
I get it. That's what I'm trying to say.
So when I'm in the game, things get voiced.
I'm just a truthful person.
It's obviously down to you how you deal with it,
but Grace was actually really rooting for you and Jessy,
and I think that's what you need to remember.OK.
You get me? I appreciate that.
Yeah? Yeah, it's all good.
Cool. We good? Yeah?
Don't call me a copout again, though,
cos it'll piss me right off.
And it's not a copout, it's my opinion.
OK. OK? Cool.
Friends. Friends.
THEY LAUGH
How are you? I'm good, babe.
Good. How's you and Josh? Going well. Obviously, erm...
Since yesterday, I felt a bit better about the situation
because I was kind of told him, like, you know,
"Yeah, things are going well, but let's just slow things down."
I like to be slow, I don't like pressure, da-da-da-da.
That's normal, to be that way. You don't have to be 100mph.
And this leads me to Sean's comment today of saying,
"Ayo, I still think you've got feelings for Mimii."
And the no response. Mm.
Because, obviously, we still feel things,
we've just, like, put things at a hold
because we're both in couples and we need to, like,
explore these couples, do you know what I mean?
Is it more of a case of you don't want to hurt people
in the process of that? Because from today,
from the challenge, what I could gather,
there is still feelings on both parties.
Me and Ayo are both similar in terms of, like,
we care about the people that we're with,
so we don't wanna, like, say anything that's gonna hurt anyone.
Yeah. Of course we still have feelings for each other,
it's just difficult to navigate how we're supposed to move right now.
Cos, obviously, Jessica likes him,
Josh is, like, telling me that he likes me,
likes where things are going,
so it's like I'd feel bad to explore that.
I understand, however, right,
sometimes, you have to think about yourself.
You can't hold back on a situation
because of something or somebody who hurt you in the first place.
Mm. Do you know what I mean?
I feel like I'm stepping on eggshells
if I was to even have a conversation with Ayo.
But you shouldn't have to feel like that.
I know, babe. You really shouldn't, Meems.
Like, he's come in here, made so much effort for me,
like, made me feel like a princess, but it's hard when I see Ayo
and I feel like I'd like to have a catch-up with him,
do you know what I mean? I can tell.
Meems, I can tell. But then, like, I can't,
because then Josh might get upset about that.
But this is the thing, Meems,
at the end of the day, you're here for you.
I feel like you've got to go with what you feel is right,
and you've got to put yourself first.
You can't go along and not think...
constantly think about Ayo in the back of your head.
If that's what you're feeling, you've got to go for it.
I can see it. I can see Ayo feels the same.
I'm sorry, so you need to put yourself first,
and please don't cry, because I'm going to start crying!
Don't cry, don't get upset over it. No, I'm not upset.
It's just overwhelming. It's overwhelming.
They're both different. I like stuff in him, I like stuff in him.
You don't have to rush it, though. Don't rush into it.
I just like simplicity, do you know what I mean? With Josh, it's nice.
All this is lovely.
With Ayo, it's just so simple, do you know what I mean?
And so natural.
As long as you put your feelings first,
I'll back you no matter what happens. Thank you, babe.
I love you. I love you so much.
I love you! Ah!
How do you think the challenge went? Erm...
You got to deep it.
At the end of the day, yeah,
everyone has an opinion about something.
People could have come for us in that challenge
because of the situation, and they didn't.
I feel like now we have had that time, people can see what we have,
which is nice.
But Sean, If he's your close boy in here, why is he saying stuff like,
"I feel like Mimii's still in the equation"?
Yeah.So do you think he just said that, it was just, it was a...
It's, it's, it's... ..silly comment?
There was nothing behind it?
Because I know what's between us, it doesn't get to me. Yeah.
Well, naturally, yeah.
You've given me nothing but reassurance, and, you know,
I feel like we do go from strength to strength every day,
so a challenge is not gonna get in my head.
Even though, don't get it twisted, I do what I want to do, do you get it?
Say swear! Stop.
But I swear.Aw, you're actually my favourite person.
Them lot are just, like... Say it back.
You are my favourite, too. Thanks.
But don't tell me to say it back, cos then it seems forced.
Nah, because you... Mm.
IAIN: Jessy's decided
she never wants to see Joey's ex, Grace, ever again.
Oh, I bet Jessy can't wait to see her best mate Grace
so she can tell her the big news.
Them gains. Mm.
It was the whole bringing up you and Grace again.
I just thought it was completely unnecessary,
and I think the way you handled that situation
wasn't in the best way in the slightest.
I was just embarrassed because of how bothered you were.
Why do you give a shit?
Babe, it's hard. I don't give a shit, babe, it's hard enough...
It's doesn't look like that, though.
Listen, it's hard enough with an ex walking around the villa,
let alone being best friends with
the girl that you're coupled up with.
I just hope her intentions are pure,
but sometimes, I just do feel like they are not.
You're best friends with a girl
that I feel like has got strong feelings for me.
It's just very strange, very weird.
Do you want her to have strong feelings? No.
I feel like she has latched on to you because she can't have me.
This is a red flag to me.
How can you treat someone that you have feelings for in that way?
Babe, what are you talking about?
I just think that you are being really rude to her,
and she was being rude back. Exactly.
So what are you talking about?
I don't care about how Grace is, I'm not with Grace.
I know, but you're, like, I'm not even wanting you to back anyone,
but you can't stick it on me like this.
You didn't care how I felt.
Babe, why are you saying that? What do you mean, I didn't care?
This is what I'm trying to say, you are sticking it on me.
No, I'm having... As if I didn't care?
The amount of times...
Babe, you're feeling that sort of way because you're upset.
You can't sit here and say I did not care about you.
The only person I was upset for was you.
I don't want to have this conversation and get with you again.
We won't. I don't want her name to be brought...
I get that I'm friends with her. You're best friends with her.
I know, but I don't want her name to be brought up
in this context in another game or challenge by you.
If someone else brings it up and you want to back yourself, absolutely.
But I don't want you bringing it up. Deal, deal, deal.
But it's so difficult because I know you're trying to protect me,
but at the same time, I still ended up being more hurt
than I would have if you just zipped.
What was that? SHE LAUGHS
I definitely am glad that I had the conversation with Joey tonight.
Obviously, I needed to get it all off my chest, which I think I did,
and I'm glad that it hasn't learned anything for us, so it's a win-win.
IAIN: Joey wants to talk to Grace about the tennis challenge.
I was at my local tennis club the other day, great fun.
Started with singles then moved on to doubles.
I love a free bar.
Grace, would you like to go for a chat?
I don't know if you'd like to, but do you want to?
THEY LAUGH
Do "Would you like to chat?"
"Would you like to go for a chat?"
I don't know if you'd like to, but do you wanna?
"Do you wanna?"
I don't think she'd like to, but d'you know?
Do you think this is gonna be beneficial? Yeah, it will.
I think it's gonna be the cherry on the bow, the cherry on top.
Bits and bobs.
Erm... Listen, like, today, emotions were high,
but I think we both clearly know
we're probably not gonna be the bestest of friends.
But, like, I do still care about you.
Like, I'm gutted that someone has not come in here
and swept you off your feet, and I do want the best for you.
That's it?
Is that all you have to say?
I'm just having a conversation with you.
OK.
You're standing there in front of everybody in the villa, saying,
"I know you still have feelings for me,
"I know you would wanna couple up with me."
OK, we don't need to get into that,
cos that's just nitty-gritty, like...
But don't state it and say it with your chest,
then you're not able to say it to me...
I say everything with my chest.
..when it's just me and you.
I'm not here to get into an argument with you.
Do you know how draining this is?
Very draining.
It's going over and over and over and over again.
I know.
So, why did you feel the need to...
I just don't get why...
Cos it's a game, and that's how I felt.
That's how I feel.
Why do you feel like I still have feelings?
If Jessy weren't in the picture,
I believe that you still would wanna be in a couple with me.
But I don't wanna do that.
That's not gonna happen, and you know that it's not.
It's causing a shit-stir when there's nothing to shit-stir.
Cos that's the truth. That's what I feel like.
Do you not think it's difficult for me to be in here?
It is difficult.
Of course it's difficult for me, Joey.
I wish someone had been in here. What happened...
What happened, I accepted straight away, and I was like,
"Do you know what? Fair enough."
I have not come here for an argument.
I've come here to settle it and just say, "Look..."
Cool, but you came with that energy today and I...
So did you! No, I didn't, Joey!
I came with that energy as a retaliation.
You was aggy. Of course!
How else did you think I was gonna react?
I wanted to be friends with you.
I don't think you wanna be friends with me, so that's how it is.
Anything I do with you, Joey, it's damned if I do, damned if I don't.
It's like you can't sleep at night knowing that I'm OK with this.
It's like you want me to be a bitch.
I sleep really well at night, G.
But it's like you want me to be a bitch.
Good. And I am glad. Thank you.
But it's like you can't wrap your head around the fact
that I'm OK with it.
All right.
Let's leave it at that, Joey.
It's not how I would have wanted it to go,
but I feel like you set the tone for today, so...
Yeah. All right, then. Sweet. Sweet.
You OK? Yeah.
Shall we sit here? Yeah.
He was just giving pure argument.
Really?! Yeah, yeah. What?!
SHE CLEARS THROAT
What the fuck happened?
Just pure beef, just pure, like, he has nothing to back up what he says.
Like, "Why do you still feel like I still have feelings for you?
"Please explain."
I said, "Don't try and embarrass me in front of everyone
"and say I still have feelings for you.
"Where has this come from?"
Wait, wait, wait.
It's chill now, though, Grace. Just drop it, though.
Yeah, but obviously, they're gonna ask me about it.
Yeah, just drop it. It's all good now.
Yeah, I know it is. Honestly, I'm cool.
Good (!) I'm glad (!)
Yeah, but you just don't seem happy.
Just relax. I'm fine, Joey.
It's not your business whether I'm happy or not.
Well, thank you. I appreciate it. Thank you.
Cool.
So embarrassing. He's such a prick.
# What is love if you don't feel it When it walks up... #
You have got to walk me all the way in as well!
IAIN STIRLING: That was awkward.
Grace telling Joey to drop it was about as effective as the time
I told my dog to drop it when I caught him
with a mouthful of Turkey Twizzlers he'd nicked out the freezer.
Bedtime!
# So tell me how you're all right How you're all right... #
I feel like I'm in a way better position right now.
Everything's cleared.
My conscience is clear.
Me and Jessy are stronger than ever.
What can I say?
What's Joey saying?
Just said that him Grace obviously aren't gonna be friends,
and he's gonna make a conscious effort to not bring up the situation
and not make anyone feel uncomfortable.
It's done.
It's done. It's been set on fire and it's now ash.
# So tell me how you're all right How you're all right... #
# How you're all right
# Where do people go
# Cos I don't have a hone any more
# I don't know what I am
# If not yours. #
IAIN STIRLING: Tomorrow night...
get ready for Snog...
Marry...
Pie.
Fucking little prick.
