IAIN STIRLING: Previously, on Love Island...
If he was in here and you weren't,
it probably would have been him.
So, basically, if I was not here, he'd be your type. Yeah.
You've said something to her in her ear. Yeah.
So why-why you not telling me?
Believe me, no competition.
I don't need to believe you about nothing.
..there was conflict...
Weird and insecure.
NICOLE:I'm so confused. What's going on?
I've just tried to speak to Ciaran
and he's blanked me with everyone, the weirdo.
Don't make me feel like a dickhead.
SMACKS LIPS
I'm really pissed off, mate.
..and harsh decisions.
Which girl and which boy are you dumping from the villa?
# Kamikaze Yeah, you got me
# Kinda shocked me...
Tiffany and Omar.
# Ain't no love that blind. #
IAIN: Tonight...
I feel like I'm on the right track with something very special.
..love is in the air...
I pied you the first time, but the second time...
..and a shock is in store.
The girl that I'd like to couple up with is...
THEME TUNE PLAYS
# I wanna feel the heat I wanna own the night
# I wanna feel the beat I wanna dance tonight. #
IAIN: Ciaran's pulled Nicole for a chat,
and she's about to use the exact words I did that time I competed
in the World Handstand Championships wearing my kilt.
Got no knickers on, so gotta be careful.
Oh! Is it now? Sorry, no, not appropriate.
LAUGHTER
Gotta be careful.
SHE YELPS
I hate these heels.
SHE INHALES, BOTH SIGH
Hi, hi. Hi.
Bit of an intense day.
Intense 24 hours, to be honest, love. Mm.
I think...
Where it went wrong last night, then, was a fact of...
I know you were playing a pathetic game,
but I thought in my head after walking away,
I thought, I'm not even speaking to him now
because it's just embarrassing for me.
If I honestly felt like, if I knew it was gonna upset you,
I would not have done it. Mm.
I would have spoken to you straight away, gone,
"Boys, not with Nicole."
I wasn't trying to embarrass you, none of the boys were,
and it's just a silly joke amongst us.
Straight away, I understood why you were upset.
It could have just gone with me explaining it to you
and you explaining it to me, saying, "This is why I'm feeling like this"
and I would have gone, "I'm sorry, I did not mean to embarrass you."
It's just been massively blown out of proportion,
I'm not saying bad.
So you do think it's all been blown out of proportion?
Yeah, I do agree with that. That's my point!
But I'm just still saying...
Yeah, but I'm still sticking to my guns and saying that...
Yeah! Nicole...
So you just need to have a balance with the lads and a balance with me.
Nicole. Nicole, please look at me a minute, right.
My point is it's been blown out of proportion. OK, OK!
All right? We good? Mm.
Got lips on you now. Couldn't wait before I got you in bed, did I?
The conversation with Ciaran was needed.
It's still early days and we still don't know
how the other's going to act in certain situations,
so stuff like this does bring closer.
It's a massive learning curve for the both of us,
learning each other's boundaries.
IAIN: Harriet said that the way Ronnie treated her was totally,
utterly and completely unforgivable. I couldn't agree more.
Anyway, here's Harri after she totally, utterly
and completely forgave Ronnie.
Ronnie and me had a conversation, basically just like,
to start off with, clearing the air. Mm-hm?
And then went on to talk about how he was feeling
and he just like basically said that he wants to rekindle things
and I said that, if you do,
then you need to be doing what you did with Tiff, and more.
And more, yeah. So...
How do you feel?
I feel good, but also actions speak louder than words, so...
Yeah, just see how it goes.
If he wants it, he's gonna have to work for it.
Mm-hm. D'you know what I mean?
No, definitely.
But I do obviously really fancy him, low-key, so I...
LAUGHING
Oh, so you're really gonna have to try hard
to not give it all to him.
Yeah, like really hard, literally.
Don't go back to like giving it on, d'you know what I mean? 100%.
Let him chase you a little bit, cos boys like love a chase. Yeah.
They don't want it to be easy, as much as, like,
they might think that they do, they don't. Mm.
I'm intrigued to know, like, what this...
what this Ronnie situation will bring.
Do you know what, the thing is, though, I'll be completely honest,
straightaway, there was literally,
like the smidge of me today was thinking... Maybe.
There's the potential that I would be willing to explore something.
But just the way that he's had that conversation with her,
and so openly, after the things she said to him. Mm-hm.
That argument, the fact that he's so easy to forgive that,
that just puts me off straightaway.
The fact that, like, she's been, like, straightaway buzzing.
He will see that. Yeah. Doesn't need to put any effort in.
Of course. He doesn't need to put any work in now
because it's exactly where he wants to be. Mm-hm.
Even if he's doing it cos he doesn't think the door's open with me,
it's giving that you are actually a bit desperate.
Mm-hm. And also, like, instead of not pulling you
because he's not sure if the door's open or not with you, find out.
Yeah, exactly. Find out. Yeah, find out.
All he needs to do is pull me and ask a question,
but he's not doing it.
Maybe that's my answer right there, you know? I think it is.
I think it's my answer. I think it is.
You don't need to be involved in this again. No. No.
That's what I'm saying. No way.
IAIN: Grace is off for a chat with barber Konnor.
Watch him fight the urge to say, "Any plans for the weekend, madam?"
How is everything with you?
Yeah, all right. Good.
It's just, er... I don't know,
I think it's just a difficult one... It's really difficult.
..like coming in and everyone's already coupled up and stuff.
Yeah, and I just wanted to speak to you cos I know,
like, obviously, coming in as a Bombshell,
like, it is really difficult. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I feel like, obviously, you can tell you're a good person
and you don't wanna, like, obviously step on toes too much... Yeah.
..but I feel like you've got to remember why you're in here.
And obviously, you came in here, and, like, you're here to do
what you want to do. Yeah, course.
It's just one of them ones that it's like,
I can keep pulling certain people for chats,
but the conversations don't really go anywhere
because they've already got someone they're really getting along with.
Yeah. So, it's like... It's one of them.
There's nothing to that, bro.
Is there anyone in here that you'd want to chat to
that's in quite a secure couple?
Yeah, definitely. Who's that?
Well, you being one of them. OK. But it's, like...
The history you've got with Joey and things like that. Mm-hm.
Yeah. Doesn't even feel... Yeah. Is there no...
Is there anybody else that you'd wanna...?
Yeah, Uma's really nice as well. Yeah.
Um... So, yeah. I don't know. It's just...
It almost feels pointless. Do you know what I mean? Yeah.
I get that, but you've got to remember no-one is closed off,
and you are here for yourself. Yeah, sure.
You never know where it might go to. Yeah, exactly.
I just wanted to chat to you cos I think you're the nicest guy.
Aww... Give me a hug. Aw, thank you very much.
Thanks for coming and having a chat. No problem. Of course.
And if you ever wanna speak, you know I'm here.
Much appreciated. We can chat. Of course. Any time.
MUSIC: 'My Future' by Poppy Ajudha
# Distractions... #
IAIN: It's the end of a day that saw a controversial dumping,
as one man's decision shattered dreams.
I'll be honest, I don't know if I'm talking about Sean and Omar
or that Scotland penalty at the Euros.
# I'm texting, texting
# Give me a second
# I'm not present, present... #
I think, obviously, you know, you're happy with the situation,
but you need to just take everything with a pinch of salt,
or a handful of it. No... And be wary.
# You won't be the one To break it apart... #
I really didn't expect that cos I was just, like,
do you know, just chatting in with him, and then I was like,
"Have you not got your eye on anybody else?"
And he went, "Well, yeah, you, and Uma."
SPLUTTERING
Cheers, boysies. See you, brother.
See you in the morning. See you in the morning, brother.
Bright and breezy. Have your own bed soon.
Yeah. That's it.
# La-la-la, la-la-la... #
How you feeling? It's a bit shit, innit?
But now I know how you've been feeling for the past three weeks.
THEY LAUGH
Yeah, fuck you! SHE LAUGHS
No, I'm sure my Prince Charming will come through them doors.
# You want the keys to my heart It's a loaded gun... #
How do we feel that people have gone home?
Oh, it's not nice, is it? God love Tiff, and God love Omar.
The biggest lesson is, time is of the essence,
so everyone get their act together, right?
UMA: Wise words from Keeks.
# La-la-la, la-la-la-la I've got self-control
I've got the dedication
Self-control
# Baby, I've got self-control
# And I've got the dedication
# Am I selfish if I let you know
# Love comes second To my future, future? #
# My friends warned me How you're bad at love... #
IAIN STIRLING: Just as a treat, we've been playing highlights
from my exciting and dynamic new stand-up tour
on the villa's speaker system overnight.
I can't wait to find out how it went down.
That was a good sleep. That was such a good sleep.
Ready for a fresh day.
Hard decisions to make yesterday. Mm.
Yesterday was so, like, nuts
that I feel like I needed a good night's sleep.
# Looking back, so dumb... #
Ronnie and Jess, how was it in the bed on your own?
Not gonna lie... Amazing!
Single life's great. Love it.
You and Sean seem to have been getting on really well last night.
It looks like it was getting a bit cosy.
THEY LAUGH It was.
See what's in store today.
# You tried to run, But, honey, not this time around
# You're playing nice
# Ain't it a shame You got found out...? #
Morning. Hey, baby.
How is everyone?
It feels so empty now. Mm! Doesn't it?
It proper does. It's gonna be a good day.
# I could fix you up
# Looking back, so dumb
# A moment, it's all gone... #
Are you gonna turn up the heat? I guess so.
I think you probably should, mate. Fuck it, I'm going for it today.
Yeah? Yeah, I'm going for it, mate.
Yeah, going for it. Oh, yeah?
If he was to kiss you now, would you kiss him?
If it was in the moment? The right moment? You would, yeah?
Yeah. That's nice.
If we did kiss, and it was bad, then I'd know.
Of course you would.
# Liar
# Liar. #
How are you feeling after yesterday?
I have woken up with a spring in my step this morning.
I don't know what it is... Well, I think I know what it is.
THEY LAUGH
Obviously, I'm getting on so well with Matilda at the minute.
She just... Since she's come through the door, I just can't stop smiling.
And you know what? Yeah, she's, you know,
the best of the best, pick 'n' mix, you know what I mean?
I feel like with you, you've got something with Sean.
Like, I do fancy him a lot. Mm-hm.
And I just think he's lovely. Yeah, he is.
Erm, and I'm just such a, like, a...
I'm such a PDA kind of person, anyway. Me too. Oh, my God, babe.
Like, I love a cuddle. I love a kiss.
I think with the right person, it's the best feeling cos, like,
when they reciprocate it,
and it just feels, like, natural and normal,
it's just so, like, comforting, isn't it? It's so... I know.
Just to feel like that with someone. Yeah.
I spoke to Ronnie last night. Yeah. He pulled me. How did that go?
He was just saying how, like, he kind of wants to rekindle things.
For me, it was kind of like... hard
because he was kind of just, like, giving unfinished business,
do you know what I mean? Yeah. 100%.
Just don't forget the way that he did make you feel.
Have you spoke to him? No, I've not spoken to him.
I was going to speak with him last night
and just kind of, like, clear everything up.
Erm, but I don't really know
if that's a conversation that needs to be had now.
But then obviously, I seen him chatting to you,
and I just thought I don't wanna get involved in...
But hopefully, if he's changed for Tiffany,
that means that he can then practise what he preaches with you,
if that's what he wants to do.
And there needs to be another girl to come in
to see how he reacts to that. Mm.
TEXT ALERT
Oh, I've got a text!
What?
READS ALOUD:
Are you joking? Is that legit?
I feel stressed. I feel sick. I feel really not well.
SHE LAUGHS
HE GRUNTS IN FRUSTRATION
# Wipe away the blue skies
# Wipe away the blue skies. #
TEXT ALERT
"Islanders, it's time to re-couple.
"The girls will now pick which boys they would like to couple up with."
TEXT ALERT
"Konnor and Matilda, as the newest arrivals,
"you will get to pick first."
# Secrets are told
# No end but Watch a mystery now unfold
# Right behind the door There is something more... #
IAIN: Bombshell Matilda's first to pick.
She's been getting to know Sean.
# A mystery in the air. #
I'd like to couple up with this boy because, obviously,
it's been really lovely getting to know everyone so far.
It's been tough coming in,
and obviously, everyone's in their couples.
But I've been really enjoying getting to know one person
in particular.
This person makes me feel really comfortable.
I feel like I can talk to him about anything,
and, yeah, we're getting on really well.
So, the boy I'd like to couple up with is...
..Sean.
# Oh, you are, you are
# You are my antidote. #
Next to pick is Bombshell Konnor.
He is yet to make a strong connection in the villa.
I'd like to couple up with this girl because it's been hard,
because coming into the villa,
there's been a lot of strong connections
that have already been made,
which has made it harder for me to have certain conversations.
But this girl is someone I can see myself
maybe moving towards on the outside of the villa.
So, the girl that I'd like to couple up with is...
# You gave to me your all And, oh
# And now I feel ten-feet tall
# Sunny one so true I love you... #
..Grace.
SIGHING Jacked.
SCATTERED APPLAUSE
# Sunny
# Yesterday, my life was filled With rain
# Sunny... #
SNIGGERING
# Sunny one so true I love you. #
# Four seasons I spent All winter, no spring
# Come give me A taste of the summer... #
In a dramatic start to the re-coupling,
Mathilda picked Sean while Konnor picked Grace.
It's now down to the remaining girls to make their choices.
Uma's up first - she's currently coupled up with Wil.
# Oh, sing me a song That carries me home
# Give me a love Worth believing... #
I would like to couple up with this boy
because not only does he make me a perfect iced coffee every morning,
he also puts a huge smile on my face.
Getting to know him so far has felt really amazing.
I like that he's very confident and mature, but also makes me laugh.
And I also like that he makes me feel reassured
and just generally happy.
I feel like when he came in,
my journey in the Love Island villa started,
so I'm really excited to see where it goes from here.
So the boy I'd like to couple up with is...
Wil.
# Oh, sing me a song That carries me home... #
WIL CHUCKLES
# Give me a love Worth believing... #
Next to choose is Nicole, who's currently coupled up with Ciaran.
I would like to couple up with this boy because he's absolutely amazing,
he's everything I look for in somebody.
I'd be lying if I said it's been smooth sailing for us, however
a couple isn't a couple without going through the speed bumps.
We've grown each day, getting stronger and stronger.
Being closed off has been the best in here with this person, so, yeah.
He's just amazing.
So the boy I would like to couple up with is...
# You could take me To Neverland, baby... #
Ciaran.
CIARAN SIGHS
OK? Yeah, you killed it, good job.
Up next is Harriet.
She's in a friendship couple with Sean,
but she's recently rekindled things with Ronnie.
I would like to couple up with this boy
because we have been in here since the beginning together.
Obviously, not disregarding everything that's happened
in the last week, but I do believe in second chances,
and if he's a changed man like he says he is, then we will see.
Obviously, it was hard sending someone home,
but I feel like if I send this person home,
then I wouldn't have got any closure on the situation
and I wouldn't have been honest with myself
and how I was actually feeling.
So even though he is so annoying,
I think that if he was not in the villa, we'd miss him being annoying.
So the boy I'd like to couple up with is...
Ronnie.
# My way, my way My way, my way
# When he tells me no That's when I go
# My way, my way. #
Next pick is Mimii, who's coupled up with Ayo.
Next
Next to
pick is Mimii, who's coupled up with Ayo.
I would like to couple up with this boy
because as well as being absolutely gorgeous,
every moment I spend with him,
I see qualities in him that I really admire.
Erm, his presence and the way he carries himself in the villa
is something I really respect about him.
Erm, I enjoy our conversations,
and I look forward to them every time
because he feels like home.
And I think he's my favourite person in the villa
because he makes me feel like the lover girl I am.
# Never had a best friend I kiss
# Missing piece to my puzzle You fit... #
So the boy I would like to couple up with is...
# I'm blushing for you now... #
..Ayo.
# Baby, let's stay in, be romantic
# Forget about All the tragic things we've done
# If you're not the one It's been fun... #
Last to pick is Jess, who is currently single.
I would like to couple up with this boy because obviously,
it's not been easy in here for me.
Erm, from the beginning,
there's only ever been one person in here
that I felt I've had a genuine connection with,
and I've been true to myself this entire time with that.
Erm, it would have been nice to have got some clarity
and potentially some closure today,
but obviously, that's how the cookie crumbles.
However, this boy is wonderful. Somebody's a very lucky lady.
And I would love to share a bed with you
until you get your girl back.
So the boy I would like to couple up with is...
..Joey.
# We're gonna rise up We're gonna rise up...
SHE LAUGHS
# Higher than ever Keeps getting better
# Rise. #
Am I all right to come chat with you?
Yeah. Yeah? That's all good, mate.
We're good, mate.
Oh, mate. You all right, babe? Yeah.
OK? WHISPERS:Yeah.
Wouldn't change anything. No, no, yeah.
Yeah, good, good, good. Hard decisions to make.
Oh, man!
Gotta do what you've gotta do. I know.
If you don't mind, I'm just gonna quickly chat to Joey.
Is that all right? Is that OK?
Oh, bruv, where do you wanna go? Daybeds? Yeah, brother, this one.
Oh, that was fucking... I bet.
Listen, mate, at the end of the day, you have to make a decision.
I know, I know. I know, I know. Just one of them ones, innit?
Yeah. Playing roulette.
Had to make a gamble, you know what I mean?
Yeah. But I mean,
the only thing I could go based off was, like, Grace.
Like, she's an attractive girl.
Obviously, on the outside, someone I'd find attractive,
so that's the only thing I could go by.
I don't blame you. It's a compliment, if anything.
Well, that's it.
Obviously, like, my connection with her is so strong.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, man. Yeah.
Listen, honestly, no... no hard feelings at all.
Legend, bruv. Legend. Yeah? It's all good.
Nothing really changes, innit? Nah, not really, mate.
But listen, mate, don't be silly, don't be silly.
Honestly, I promise you, it's all good.
I'm... gutted. I feel like me and Grace are just so close.
Like, we literally can't keep our hands off each other, and yeah.
Do you know what? You're the best person
he could have been coupled up with. Yeah. Exactly. Me or you.
Of course, like, you two are like his besties in here... Exactly.
So, like, honestly, course I wouldn't have wanted him to...
Well, any of the girls... Yeah. Yeah.
I don't care, but I know that youse are close anyway, so...
It's just not nice, is it?
I get you've got to come in here and do what you've got to do,
and it's actually quite funny cos every time I speak to him,
I'm trying to give him friendly advice on, like,
"If you need to chat, I'm here,
"I'll give you a bit of advice, you know,"
but I didn't realise it was me that, like, he wanted
and that he was gonna do that to.
IAIN: Like the Malteser in a box of Celebrations,
the Candyman was Matilda's first choice.
Oh, my God, I'm actually just buzzing now.
Are you? Yeah, cos... I'm buzzing as well.
I feel like when you're then coupled up, you're sort of like...
It brings you a little bit closer.
Like, obviously, I was still in a friendship couple
so it wasn't like we were, we WERE together, sort of thing.
It wasn't like that, but it still felt like I didn't have you. Yeah.
Do you know what I mean? Cos, like... Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm so happy that I'm in... I'm in the bedroom now.
Yeah, you're gonna love it. I'm with you.
Yeah, 100%. Mm-hm. I'm happy.
I'm so happy that I've got someone now that... Me too.
..I can cuddle and chat to, instead of just, yeah...
I'm excited. Me too.
Come on. Come on, darling. I might as well join.
You might as well, babe. You might as well.
Want some? Yes, please.
Aww... How cute was that? You two. Yours...
Do you want some, Ciaran? Do you want some? Your speech...
Mm. ..caught me by surprise. Was it a good one?
Was it a good speech? It caught me by surprise,
if I'm being honest with you.
Why? Do you think it was a good speech, though?
I thought it was good. Explain to me...
No, no, cos I'm confused.
Have you or have you not had closure on this whole Ronnie thing?
Where's my glasses? Over there. I don't feel like, no.
Do you feel like you need it, though?
When I said that, I meant in the case of,
it's like a "what if" situation.
Do you think the door's still open with you and Ronnie? Don't be like,
"Oh, no, cos he hasn't spoke..." It would've been.
It could potentially have been, in my head, yeah.
No, now. Mm, probably not.
No, put all your feelings and stubbornness aside.
If he was to bin it off with Harriett completely
and put all the eggs into me, then yeah.
It just would've been... If I'd have been...
Put it this way, had I have chosen first today,
I would have picked him. Yeah. I knew, I was thinking that.
You're just both too stubborn and neither of you
will pull each other first to smooth it over.
That's the problem.
But if Ronnie doesn't feel like he has to give you closure,
he's not gonna come and give you closure. Yeah.
You're the one that wants it, so you...
I'm sorry, but you've got to go and get him and swallow your pride.
What do you think he'll think of my re-coupling speech?
It wasn't, like, coming across, as, like, being desperate
that I wanted him, was it? No, not at all. OK.
You only miss 100% of the shots you don't take.
Yeah. So true.
At the end of the day, like, he could have gone yesterday,
and then you would have never had that closure anyway. True.
You'd still be here with no closure again, feeling even worse.
IAIN: # If you're awkward And you know it, say hello
# If you're awkward and you know it Say hello
And you really wanna show it
Say... #
Hello? Hello.
You all right there? Oh, you all right?
Do you wanna go for a chat? Sure. Hi.
I feel for you. Like, I'm... HE SIGHS
It's a difficult thing to do. Yeah.
Course I'm confused because I haven't given him any inkling
that there's any type of, like, romantic spark
or that I wanna get to know him. I just didn't expect it, at all.
So, erm, yeah, that was difficult. Mm-hm. And I get that. I do.
Very difficult. And, like, I think...
Like, I owe to myself to come in here,
and I want to try and find a connection.
That's why everybody's here. Mm-hm.
And at the same time, like, the girls I've spoken to,
you're probably someone I've spoken to, like, not as much.
Yeah, that why I was so surprised. Yeah.
Because obviously, like, yesterday, I chatted to you,
but it was obviously on a friendship level...
Yeah, of course, of course. ..to kind of be like,
"I'm here if you need me.
"Bombshell to Bombshell, let me know if you want any advice."
And when I had that first date with you,
you said that you weren't quite closed off yet. No.
It wouldn't be fair to close yourself off that early.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that's something
I've also taken into consideration, as well, picking you.
Yeah. Mm-hm. Like, we probably are on the cusp of being closed off.
I think, for me, I just don't want that label of, like...
Do know what I mean? Yeah. We might as well be.
Like, everybody sees how we are in here. I think, like... Yeah.
But, you know, don't worry about it too much. Yeah, course.
It was just more of a shock. It's a shock. I know.
Yeah. Cool. Erm...
I had to do what I had to do. No, I get that. I get that. OK? Aww.
I get that. All right? Yeah. Come on, then.
I could have picked someone to be a friendship couple,
but I'm not here to find more friends.
Grace has told me that she wasn't closed off.
That's one of the reasons for why I made my decision.
There we are. HE CHUCKLES
RONNIE:How are... How are you after that?
HARRIETT:Yeah, I'm fine. Are you happy?
Yeah, I am happy. Yeah, she is.
She delighted?
Maybe on a scale of one to ten, I'm maybe, like, a seven.
A nine! No, I reckon a seven. A ten.
I would've said nicer things, Ronnie, but you've not really...
I know, but, like, in the turnaround of obviously everything,
you could have obviously...
I'm not saying it wasn't nice what you said,
but you could've just been blunt about it
and then seen how things go, do you know what I mean?
But I thought you spoke well, and it was nice what you said. Erm...
Are you actually happy with...? You'd miss me in here, wouldn't you?
I did miss you a little bit. Maybe like this.
That much? Like that.
So, it's just open a little bit? Yeah, open a little bit.
IAIN: Love Island is proud to present
Ciaran disproving the phrase "honesty is always the best policy".
How many... What was the number you actually slept with? Why?
Because I forgot what you said it was.
I haven't told you, that's why.
Yeah, but I know it was more than Ron's,
so how many would you say is average?
Well, how many is Ron on? Dunno. Can't say.
About 120?
Oh! SHE RETCHES
I actually feel sick. That's gotta be lies.
There is no way. 120 girls?!
You've had fucking three, foursomes... threesomes, as well?
That's disgusting at 21. What...?
Mad. Mad, that is. What did I say to you when I first...
Yeah, but at 21, I'm saying...
Yeah, but I'm just saying, your reaction of everything,
you've just gone, "That's disgusting."
At 21. If you were 30... Right, OK, then.
Because you're really young. Right, cool.
Oh, my gosh! I'm not saying it in that way! I'm saying...
You are, though. No, I'm not.
I'm saying you've got to 21, and you've done...
If you were, like, 30, 35,
that's like a lot more over a period of time.
That means you've slept with loads of girls in one sort of period.
# Don't dig too deep
# Don't want to hear no lies Don't ask no questions
IAIN STIRLING: M&S worker Jess is thinking about
giving Ronnie a second chance, and I'm not surprised.
M&S are very good with returns.
# Learned my lesson...
Do you think you'll have a convo with Ronnie?
Yeah, I'm going to, anyway. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'll be honest, though, and I'll say this to him.
If I'd have gone up first, I would've chosen him.
# I'ma keep you On a need to know... #
TEXT ALERT, GASPING
Whose is that? Is that a text? You're joking me.
Guys, I've got a text! SCREAMING
Wait, wait, read it. Please!
READS ALOUD:
Shut up!
SCREAMING
# I'ma keep you On a need to know... #
We've got a text.
"Harri
and Ronnie, it's time for your first date."
THEY CHEER
What do you think it'll be? SHE SCREAMS
I think it'll be a nice dinner, maybe a bar with some drinks.
A dinner! SCREAMING
Oh, I'm buzzing now. I might even do some press-ups.
HE LAUGHS
Ready for my date, oi!
# I'ma keep you On a need to know... #
Jess, are you OK, sorry? Me?
I just feel like...
Why are you saying sorry to me? I'm absolutely fine.
# What you don't know Some things are better left unsaid
# Don't need to know who's in my bed
# Don't need to know Who's in my head... #
See you tonight. And be good! See you later, boy.
Laters. It's gonna be sick, innit?
# I'ma keep you on a need to know
# Don't dig too deep
# Don't want to hear no lies Don't ask no questions
# Not your business... #
Are you OK? Yeah, no, I'm fine. I just obviously would have liked
to have had a conversation with him
just to clear the air with him before he went,
but at the end of the day,
I still couldn't do that, do you know what I mean?
# I'ma keep you on a need to know
# Keep you on a need to know...
Tonight's a big night as always. New couples today for some of us.
I'm a very happy man tonight.
I'ma say cheers to that. Cheers to Matilda.
# Keep you a need to know
Cheers to being bad bitches and finding love.
THEY CHEER
# Not your business I'll keep you on a need to know... #
Love you all.
# I'll keep you on a need to know. #
Do you question your decision today at all?
I'd rather go for what I want rather than what's going to be easy.
To be fair, I would have done the same thing. Yeah.
Yeah, that's it.
When they didn't end up in the top three, and I just...
That, like, triggered something in my head,
and I thought, "How? How are you not...?"
Like, other public seeing something that we are not? Yeah.
Like, it just crossed my mind. I respect that.
And do you feel like Grace is giving you that vibe?
It's a difficult one because obviously,
I know that, like, Grace and Joey have had history before.
But then is it not...? It didn't work that time around.
So why is it gonna work this time around? Do you know what you mean?
The only reason why I would think it would work this time round
is because as they have, like, said in here,
it was a holiday romance that they had.
And then it's like this again is a holiday romance.
Yeah, it looks great here, but is it gonna work on the outside?
Like, is this another holiday romance?
Who knows? Who knows, bro?
Harriett and Ronnie have arrived on their romantic date,
and I'm guessing they wouldn't be laughing
if they knew the Parma ham on the platter
was actually just gone-off bacon.
# When you asked me to be your man And I was like, "Hell, yeah"... #
After you. Thank you.
# Fast-forward in New York Full throttle... #
Cheers.
# And I asked you to have your hand And you was like, "Hell, yeah"... #
What is that? A loaf of bread?
Is it a bread stick? Maybe. HEAVY CRUNCHING
Be careful with your teeth.
Imagine if my tooth fell out. THEY CHUCKLE SOFTLY
Would you still date me? No.
Maybe. See you later.
THEY LAUGH, CRUNCHING CONTINUES
I made this all day freshly for you. Did you? Mm.
No, but this is so nice.
Is this the best first date you've ever had, or what?
Maybe. We'll see. You still got some work to do, Ronnie.
We're on the way, though, aren't we?
I've never really... I'm not really a big dater.
Yeah. All right.
I do my football, I see the boys, spend it with my family.
Yeah, who knows, you might be able to meet... Mumsy.
Yeah, what do you think she'd think?
Yeah, she'd like you. You think? Yeah, 100%.
What d'you think she'd think about this whole up and down so far?
Would she be surprised?
My little saying with her is, "Eyes on the prize".
Who knows? Who knows? Could be Harri's.
I feel like, from the beginning, like I did feel
like there was something there with you.
Since I come in here, I'm learning from, obviously, my mistakes,
I'd say, and I feel like also everything happens for a reason.
I think so, too.
I apologise for the last week. OK.
But I feel like you're living your life... Yeah.
Now you're going to get my full energy
instead of, like, at the start it was Jess and yourself
and obviously Tiffany come in and it was...
I feel like your head just went all over the place.
Yeah, and I'm not gonna be going back in the triangles
or anything like that. Mm-hm? So just straight lines?
Just a straight line. Over here, over the table.
Over the speed bump. Yeah, the speed bump.
I hit a speed bump... A big speed bump!
..and you come and save the day. I did save the day.
And now we're back. Yeah, I'm happy you're still here.
Obviously, I didn't think I'd be sitting on here on a date with you.
But like, yeah, I just wanted to leave you to it,
do your thing and then see where you...
And we're back together. Came back...
BOTH CHUCKLE
Cheers. Cheers to what?
Cheers to the start of Harrers and Ronners.
Cheers.
# Made for me Made for me, just for me. #
IAIN: Back in the villa,
Nicole is annoyed that Ciaran's said he's slept with 120 women.
Don't worry, Nicole. He hasn't.
It's actually 117, he just rounded up for simplicity.
What's wrong? Nothing's wrong. Oh, I don't know!
No, cos I'm not saying it, because you'll say then,
"Oh, I told you you shouldn't have said anything."
I knew it.
Yeah, but I'm not... we're having a tidy conversation,
No, cos I'm not saying it, because you'll say then,
"Oh, I told you you shouldn't have said anything."
I knew it.
Yeah, but I'm not... we're having a tidy conversation,
I'm not arguing with you over it. Go on.
I dunno. It's just took me back by surprise.
I just keep reassuring you. Yeah, but...
But that's worse than I am,
I constantly overthink every single situation that's going on,
so if you can't cope with reassuring me all the time,
I don't know what... what you want me to do?
I've heard you say that.
No, that's what you're saying,
I've told you that this is the type of thing that I'm like.
I get like this.
It's not going well!
But I
But
But I,
yeah, like, I done it... I don't want anything to change,
but, I'm sorry, it's like if you said to me like, your age...
it's like, I can't change my age. Mm.
I can't go back in time and change it all.
Not even for your sake.
I would have loved to go back and changed so much stuff.
I just think I'm worrying
because of, obviously, I am going to worry over that, amn't I?
But until it's proven to me, then it's going to be different,
but like...
So have I not been proving to you...?
Yeah, you have proven yourself, you are like doing stuff
that I look for in somebody.
My person is somebody who is where you are acting.
If I could describe my person right now,
it would be you, other than the 120 situation.
But my person right now is you.
Oi-oi! Turbo son!
They're not holding hands.
HARRI:Hello, everyone! How are you?
How was it? It was sick, man.
Turbo's back.
How was it? Bro, it was sick. Was it?
Like, mad.
Has it been quiet without me? Yeah, babe.
Yes, obviously, Harriet. Very quiet.
Really quiet, without me? Yeah, of course it is.
Yeah, we rolled up and it was like a haunted museum
just in the middle of nowhere. A great start.
LAUGHTER
It was all like candlelit, like, from the back, and it was beautiful.
Proper romantic.
And then, like, quite deep convos,
I don't really talk deep, d'you know what I mean,
but like, I actually see a side to her that I ain't seen.
Are you thinking, like, this could be a thing?
Yeah, like... definitely. For the first time.Nice.
It was so nice, honestly. Like... It was so weird.
It was, like, such a different Ronnie.
He was, like, really... He was just different.
Was he? Different how, girl?
Nice different. Really?
It was nice different.
Honestly, like, he basically said that, you know,
there's no triangles. And that's what he actually wants.
Do you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. We're both... Yeah.
Like, I'm what he wants. No, but, yeah.
No, honestly, it was so cute.
It was so cute. Happy for you, babe.
I'm a bit nervous. It's, like, erm...
It's good up here. Yeah. How are you feeling tonight?
Yeah. It's been a... It's been a funny one, hasn't it?Yeah.
I'm happy for Ronnie and Harriett, though.You know what?
I'm so happy for her, cos obviously,
I feel like they needed to settle a lot of... a lot of things.
A bit like me. I've got what I wanted. Mm-hm.
A red rocket next to me. Red rocket. I've been wearing red all day.
You actually look amazing. Thank you. Do you like?
No, I'm serious. You look beautiful.
I can't tell you how buzzing I am.
Like, honestly, I'm so happy to come through the door, and...
Are you?I feel like I'm on the right track
with something very special, so I'm just very happy.
Good. I'm so glad that you're happy. Good.
Cos that's all I want. Yeah.
I want you to be happy, I want me to be happy.
# You'll be free If you truly wish to be... #
I feel like we can really just move on with things, and... I agree.
..take things to the next step. I agree.
You agree? And I love it. Yeah.
I really wanna kiss you right now, I can't lie.
Do you? Yeah.
# Ooh... # Do you know what?
I pied you the first time, but the second time lucky.
Is it? Yeah.
# Come with me, and you'll be In a world of pure imagination
# Take a look And you'll see into your... #
Unreal. THEY LAUGH
I can sing it from the rooftops.
SHE LAUGHS
YELLING:Everyone, listen up!
I just got my first kiss on the terrace!
CHEERING
Come on!
Are you buzzing? Yeah, I'm buzzing.
Aw, babe! You're so cute.
Aw, honestly, with Matilda, it was everything and more.
I felt like that kiss was very special,
and I'm just buzzing now.
This whole experience has changed for me,
and I'm just so, so happy.
I've got butterflies in my belly. Do you? Aww! You're so cute.
IAIN: Jess has spent the whole night worrying about
how Ronnie and Harriett's date went.
No need to worry, Jess, it went brilliantly!
They had such a lovely time together.
How was your first date? Erm, yeah...
Was it good? It was actually really nice.
Aw, good. Yeah, it was, like, a lovely gaff.
And, yeah, obviously just to get to know her on, like,
a deeper level, it was nice. Yeah. Good.
I just wanted to speak to you, because I feel like I've...
Like, we've not really properly spoken since... Yeah.
..realistically since I obviously picked Sean.
And I feel like I've told everyone my reasons as to why have done it,
but it never really told you properly.
If you picked me that night, I think things would've been different.
Mm. I feel like you'd have been so different if that didn't happen.
Yeah. But it did. Yeah, course.
Of course it did, yeah, yeah. Do you know what I mean?
And... Yeah. And that's the thing, though,
cos it's, like, the reason I'd done it
wasn't me saying that I had no feelings for you, cos I did.
No. Like, I still do feel them things for you,
it's just the situations haven't panned out the way
that we wanted them to. Mm. I've just looked at it...
And don't take this the wrong way, I just feel like where I am
and what I come across, I feel like you deserve so much better than me.
What? That's not on you to decide that.
No, I know, but I... I...
I would love nothing more than someone to come in here
and treat you the way you deserve.
I wanna be 100% with everything, and I don't feel that. Yeah.
Because I do think the world of you.
Like, look at you, you're beautiful,
and I feel like we did have something. Yeah.
But since then, it's just... I just... I don't feel the same.
Shall we have a cuddle? Yeah.
I love you. Love you.
I think it's... with me and Ronnie, it's just one of them things.
It wasn't meant to be.
Can't live in the past, only live in the future.
And, yeah, I genuinely do wish him the best in here,
whether that's with Harriett or with somebody else.
I'm happy I had that conversation, I just wish it could've been sooner,
and then my mind wouldn't have been spinning
with all these different thoughts.
Hello, my babe. Hello. You OK?
Yes, I'm good. Are you? Yes, darling.Good.
How was that little chat? Oh, no, it was fine.
Like, I just obviously explained to him,
like, my point of view as to why I done what I done,
cos I said, like...
we both kind of said we've both been stubborn
in that situation, when neither of us have kind of
ever told each other why we done what we done.
And obviously, he said, like, had I not have picked Sean
at that re-coupling, things would've been very different.
Like, he was gonna be 100% for me had I had picked...
Wait, hold on. What?
Yeah. Really? But that was a long time ago.
It was a long time ago, Harriett, so don't think like that.
No, I know, but that's... OK. That was a long time ago.
# Can you feel it?
# I see you shake In anticipation... #
Now so much has happened that the both of us right now, like,
that's obviously not something that I want to entertain,
because he's getting to know you, and he said, like,
"You deserve someone that is 100% for you."
He said that?Yeah. Right, OK.Yeah, yeah.
# Watch my world unfold
# Into the unknown... #
And, yeah, I feel like we both know where we stand, like...
He said that he had a really good date with you,
and it's nice to get to know you on a deeper level, and obviously,
you never know what happens,
but things are going really well with you.
Wait, so he... so he... So he said that he...
If you'd re-coupled with him, he would 100% be for you?
Yeah. Yeah. At that time, yeah.
# Follow me I can't escape it... #
That's interesting, ain't it? That's really interesting, actually.
# Shadows call me through... #
But obviously, it didn't go that way,
so we can't think in the past. Like, that's not...
No, I know, but still, like, kind of weird.
HARRIETT LAUGHS AWKWARDLY
I just think it's weird for him to say
that he would have put 100% into you.
Cos that's not what he was saying to me.
# Watch my world unfold... #
I feel like in this situation, there is no girl code,
because why would you see someone on a date, happy,
and think, "Oh, actually, this is the right time for me to go over
"and tell this boy how I'm feeling"?
As much as I've had such a special day now,
it's taken away from the fact because she's decided to do that.
Like, I'm really confused.
# Follow me all the way
# Watch my world unfold. #
