Calm down, Darren. Calm down, Darren. Laura will be here any minute. She's a

pro. She'll be here. If not, I could host the show.

Laura!

Oh, Darren, how are you?

Where are you?

Isn't it obvious? Look.

I'm at Glastonbury. I'm having so much fun.

Great. What about after sun? After sun is tonight.

Don't worry.

I'll be there.

You've got the time it takes for the titles to run to get here.

Just hurry up! Okay, okay, okay. I'm on my way. Roll VT.

She stinks of campfire smoke and hasn't had a bath since last week. But she's

here. Please welcome to the Laura Whitmore stage, it's Laura Whitmore!

And the summer of love is well underway.

Jay and Ekansu have something they need to work out. And as it's Glastonbury

weekend, we've booked some very impressive headliners of our own on

After Sun tonight. In the legend slot, propping up our reasonably priced

festival bar, forget Diana Ross, her moods are just as good. It's only

Sharnice Pudge!

special tonight so today we have the damier daiquiri it

takes ages to brew looks perfect and should be enjoyed with a nice long spoon

dami that's good

joining us for a stiff drink fresh from the villa amber and a canna

They don't give me the cold shoulder like Tasha with Andrew, or this is going

to be a very short show.

And later tonight, we'll see what happened when we sent Kitty to do some

work experience on the Love Island production team.

And Jay will be in the Beach Hut for the next round of Aftersun versus the Villa.

So much to talk about.

That drink is way too fine.

OK, so this is how our couples currently look. Let's have a little look at them

there. They look good. Now, the effects of the recoupling have really made an

impact on the villa this week. Now, one of the most controversial moments was

Jay picking Paige. What do we think about that?

Was it the right decision, Kitty?

Do you know what? I think, no, it wasn't the right decision for me because, at

first... Like, the last couple of weeks with Paige and Jack, I've been a bit

like, OK, like, we get it, like, you love each other, la-la-la-la-la.

And then now, finally, like, a spanner's come into work, so I'm like, well, I

don't like that, that's too far.

Jamie's really pulled the rug under her there. But it was lovely when they did,

like, sleeping in the bed next to each other. That was sweet.

With the hands, that was so, so sweet.

Snoochie, we have seen a few of the other girls kind of encouraging Paige,

just to, like, make a little bit more effort with Jade.

Do you think she should? Well, I think the spanner is hot. Jay is very hot,

let's be serious. He is a hot tanker. I think she should be outside.

Like, this is Hot Girl Summer, do you know what I mean? It's just summer, be

outside, get to know him. Why not? You only go in the villa once.

He looks like a kennel dog, doesn't he?

Doesn't he?

That's what I'm saying, he's a hot spanner. You can tell him when he's on

the show later on.

I will!

Kitty well and Darren at the end of tonight's episode is that lovely moment

Jack's kind of getting quite emotional and speaking about his feelings And do

you think now he's regretting that he's been so chilled up to this point. Well,

you say chilled I say he's acting I

Think with Jack's he likes page, but doesn't like her that much.

I'll tell you what Jack's likes more than page Beating Jay.

He doesn't like Jay.

Jay called him a tiny rugby player. That's very offensive.

The audience aren't agreeing with you. Do you not think he's being sincere?

No, I do not think he is. He's playing a game.

He's playing a game.

Right, I have to move on. Our Ekansu has had a real rollercoaster of a week. It

started with her reaction to Jay saying he wanted to get to know Paige. Now,

initially, she was fine.

She was fine about it. But after a personal pep talk in the mirror, she

seemed to change her mind.

Maybe getting to know Paige.

Mm-hmm.

Cool. Like, I'm glad you're honest with me. I don't want to be in the way.

You're a legend. I can appreciate it. Always.

Oh, God, I feel like an idiot.

Ugh! Now you want to get to know Paige?

Mug! You should write that on your fucking forehead.

The biggest player in this villa is you, Jay.

And you deserve the biggest Oscar in here.

So well done.

Just a little nose action.

Do you know what? I think that is possibly the best moment of reality TV

in 2022 that we have had It's the fact that she was just there and she the

reaction she had I was like, this is so grown-up and like mature Yes, that's

fine go and explore this with Paige and then it was that she like her taking

yourself away and being like actually

Not a bit of me and then she let him have it. It was brilliant. Oh my god You

couldn't wish for anything more. I love Ekin so

Didn't

slow down there as she got picked by bombshell Charlie to go on a hot and

steamy hot tub date Do we think it was a good date Darren?

I think it was a good day. Ekansu always has great dates.

I go on a date with her and I have fun. She really gives a lot of herself on a

date. The one thing I will say is I've never seen somebody so happy to go on a

date. She literally went... It's like, it's a hot took date. You haven't won

the Euro million. It's pretty lit though, innit?

It's pretty lit.

It's better than Mando's, so why not? Speak for yourself.

I mean, look at his hair.

Well, Snoochie, you know, Ekinson must be doing something right, because

Charlie picked her for the recoupling. I think she's great, honestly. I'm with

you. Like, she's one of my favourites as well. And the pep talk in the mirror was

just amazing, 100%. I did think he was going to go for Tasha, though. Me too!

I was convinced. What did you think, audience? Did you think? Yeah, I was

going to go for Tasha, but Ekinson's lip man, like, she's got... bit about her

and she's fiery that's what he was doing when he was doing the recoupling he was

like her name begins with t right

after all of that and i can't quite believe it

but we might be going full circle with eck and sue and david i

mean did i see that coming do you think there's a spark there still darren um

Yeah, I think there's a spark.

I think there's going to be a big spark. And then Davide's going to throw a

bucket of water on it.

Davide is going to get Ekansu back. He wants to get his revenge, man.

This is how it starts, I'm telling you.

Kitty, as a big Ekansu fan, would you be happy to see her get back with Davide?

Oh, absolutely. And what I love the most is the confidence Ekansu has.

I can't remember how I cut to him and he was like, nah, nah.

It's so brutal.

But I love Ekansu for her confidence.

Yeah, well, do you know what?

What I love about right now and with this show, we can find out more about

Ekansu because we've only got her mum here and her brother.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE I'm going to start with her brother, Arda.

Welcome to the show. Now, you're her brother, you know her very well. Do you

think she's better suited to someone like Davide or a new boy like Charlie?

Mate, I'm going to be honest with you, I hate them all. I hate all the guys

there.

LAUGHTER

Straight to the point. He just chose violence.

Violence is chasing.

Can we get you in the villa? I feel like you spice things up a little bit.

Now, a couple that really seem to have blossomed this week, Dami and India, or

Damia.

Now, we saw Damia go on their first date in tonight's episode.

Do you think it was good for them to have some one-on-one time outside of the

villa with the whole nation watching them, Snoochie?

100%. These are my favourites to win. I love them, Damia and India. I think

they're the best. Also, they have their own handshake.

Once you have a handshake in a relationship, it's certified.

Snoochie, you know who's here, right?

Oh, my God! I'm so sorry, but honestly, Damia and India, they're going off.

It's getting there, mate. They're going off. You had your chance.

I think this is the time that we go to Amber and Akenna now.

But honestly, honestly... You're literally more than five minutes ago.

But honestly, you guys are out now. Are you surprised by how things have moved

so quickly for them? I know a day is a long time in there. Yeah. I mean, they

could have waited till we at least had our water bottles out there.

LAUGHTER

Okay, I'm excited for them to be honest

Let's

take an exclusive look at what happened once you both left the villa and the

water bottles were still in there One boy and one girl will be

going home tonight that decision is in the hands of the public

Amber, I cannot.

Saying goodbye to fellow Islanders was really upsetting because I've been

living with them for the last, like, two weeks.

I don't think I'd do anything differently.

I feel like in all the decisions and sort of opinions I have, like, they're

from the heart. Bye!

Bye!

I'm really going to miss all the boys and all the girls.

And you'd say me, but I'm here. Yeah, yeah, and Amber.

But she's here with me.

I kind of might not agree, but I'm so glad that I was leaving with him. Had my

little island void to take with me. It is what it is.

All right, Addison, we need some sleep after this bloody night, so see you

tomorrow.

We don't belong in this place anyway.

So, waking up this morning without India by my side was a bit weird, I will say.

getting back to that normal life of living by myself.

It was sad saying bye to Dami, but I did just say to him, like, hopefully he'll

find his pretty girl, because he did tell me that he often slides into girls'

DMs saying, hey, pretty.

Morning, island boy.

Morning, morning. How are we doing?

We're still here.

I was like, why are the bright lights not waking me up? Where am I?

Shall we cheers for being dumped? Cheers.

Dumped and leaving with no love.

We want to get some more juice.

Going to get some more tea.

So, let's get down to the nit and gritty.

Who do you think was playing the game?

Definitely Ekansu was a little bit, yeah.

I mean, time will tell, I suppose.

Exactly, exactly.

What club are we hitting when we get back to London? What club are we

hitting? Oh, I don't know, actually. I'm not really, like, too much of a club

guy. I'll take you on a tour around London. Yeah, yeah. Border London.

OK, I'll pack that.

Cheers. Cheers.

Got to wash away the Love Island sins.

All the toxins from... How did yours taste?

It was quite bitter, actually.

Oh, right, so it kind of sums up our experience.

Bittersweet. Bittersweet.

are still ringing, but it's not because I was at Glastonbury, did I mention

that? It's because I've been listening to all the brilliant Love Island theme

tune remixes you've been sending in this week, and you did not disappoint.

We haven't got time to play them all, sadly, but here's our top three.

At three, we have Rosie Borgonzi on The Steel Pans.

on the trumpets.

Another talented bunch but topping the Love Island charts is one-man band Dan

Parkinson with this brilliant composition.

Really good, great work. See you on the pyramid stage at Glastonbury next year.

Right, time now to welcome two of our OGs to the sofa, whose island adventure

came to an end earlier this week. Here to spill the tea is Amber and Ikenna!

You're a few days back in London. How has it been?

A blah.

But to be honest, I've been in my house. I've not been out yet.

Thank you for leaving your house to be here.

Yeah, I was like, I'm going to leave the bloody house.

How has it been for you since you got out?

It's been a bit mad. I'm not used to people coming up to me yet.

But do you like it?

Yes.

Well, we really enjoyed watching you both in there.

And I think it's fair for all of us to say it was a shock. Your dumping was a

shock. We were all really, really shocked.

Was it a shock for you?

Yeah, it was a bloody shock. But then when it was Ekansu and Tasha, I was

like, right, read the room, I'm gone.

Right, well, since you both left, things in the villa have changed a lot.

We mentioned there India and Dami.

The night you left, they did have a little bit of a chat. Let's remind

ourselves of that.

It kind of, like, woke up and I felt really different about things.

What did you feel different about?

I kind of want you to be in my bed.

Is that, like, bad?

Obviously, I would be open to getting to know you on that level. Yeah. But it's,

like, there's more to it, do you know what I mean? No, definitely, definitely.

I just feel like I'm going to have the conversation in the day with her. Yeah,

not tonight. Yeah, definitely not tonight.

I guess we have time.

Spot it? OK, cool.

You probably haven't had a chance really to watch anything.

Amber, do you think that they maybe should have pulled you guys for a chat

when you were in there? I feel like Demi definitely had time to pull me for a

chat. In between those chats with her, we had some kisses in bed and stuff,

which I just didn't mention.

What type of kisses?

Like a nice little peck? I like a proper, proper snog.

So we definitely had time to tell me. Exclusive.

OK, we did not know that.

Darren, you've got a question.

Amber, you mentioned how your water bottles were still in there while they

were necking up.

Now, here's my question. Do you feel betrayed?

Do you feel like they broke your heart? These are your friends and they were so

happy to see you go.

Yeah.

A little bit I mean, yeah, I was a bit shocked when I just I spoke to them both

and it was like didn't have a clue no idea No Yeah,

the one was too stunned to speak

I am shocked. OK, Amber, I want to go back to the beginning. Go back to the

beginning. For a while, you and Dami, you did seem like genuinely one of the

strongest couples at the start. You got on really well. There was definitely a

friendship there. You were very comfortable.

Were you surprised, like, this guy you just met, how comfortable you were

straightaway? No, yeah, we were definitely quite comfortable with each

other, but then definitely a few red flags sort of...

Like what?

Well, I mean, for starters, lots of girl best friends that he's done bits with

that do have sleepovers, and I was like, uh-uh, sorry.

OK. Just to know from me.

Speaking about someone else there, not Dami, there was that date with Jay, but

you never really... You never personally have eyes for anyone else. Were you

always kind of looking ahead and trying to make it work? What about someone on

the sofa next year?

Was there anyone else in there?

No, I really did have all my energy sort of focused on me and Demi.

OK, OK. Ikenna? What about you?

Was there anyone else in the villa besides India sitting on the sofa? My

kitty's trying to make this happen right here.

No, all of my attention was in India. Was it? Yeah.

Would you have done anything differently now, looking back?

No, I think I would have just gone exactly the way I've done.

Chilled out.

Chilled out, relaxed, enjoyed the holiday.

It's not a holiday.

You're in there to find love. You're not just lying down there having a lovely

time. Do you get the memo what Love Island's about?

No, I don't.

Darren, you have a question.

I was just wondering, you're a big football fan like me, what was it like

getting a foot massage from Michael Owen's daughter?

Hey, you know what's mad?

We didn't really know until, like, the second or third day, but I don't think

the girls knew that the guys knew.

But her hands are really small, though.

So, I don't know, it didn't really go into my foot well enough.

It's because your feet are really big.

Are your feet big? Because your feet look massive, but maybe she just had

tiny hands.

I think it's a mixture of both. OK. I also like the fact you were kind of

disappointed with the massage.

I never really got to where I wanted them to go.

Speaking of feet, Kenneth, we've got to talk about the Crocs.

And I feel like you've caused a bit of a fashion trend going on. I mean, Darren,

you've been wearing them.

Bob on camera one loves a Croc. There he is. I'm going to say, he started wearing

them before you. Are you, like, looking to be the face, the feet?

Oh, Crocs haven't shouted me yet, but we can do a little collab or something.

Crocs are very comfy.

They're very comfy. I have a pair. Honestly, they're so comfortable. So

comfortable.

These look better, though.

Amber, OK, we've got to get to it. I'm going straight in there. You and Ekansu

didn't always see eye to eye.

Literally didn't see eye to eye.

What was it that annoyed you? And you were very honest. If something annoyed

you, you said it. Oh, for sure.

Yeah. But what was it particularly about her and Javier? Just because she was so

genuine at one point, and then we just, like... She was just playing a bit of a

game, I thought.

Really? I mean, great TV, but for 24 hours in there, it was too much. Did you

feel when you were in there that she was playing a game, that it wasn't

authentic?

Here from reddish and this is for both of you Who would you have picked a

couple up with in the first episode if you had the choice?

Were you happy with obviously you probably weren't happy what the public

did No,

I definitely will step forward for Tammy and I said maybe Luca But I feel like me

and him just with like brother and sister off like day one. So yeah, I can

I what is definitely set forth for India

Guys, thank you so much for joining us on the sofa. We've really enjoyed

watching your journeys. This is the good bit. Do you want to see your best bits?

Enjoy.

Going out on a date is going to determine whether we're going to

continue or... How many more doors do you feel like I have to get you? We've

still got a long way. Are we compatible?

I don't know. I feel like Marge Simpson.

Amber, always moaning.

This is the thing I don't understand. When you fancy someone, it's just there.

I think it's really fair.

I'm being genuine.

Don't start really pissing me off. The girl with the fused folds is... Amber.

Amber likes about any room that she walks into.

Spicy!

She brought the jokes. She brought the drama.

That girl's got sass for days.

That's good.

I will miss the way Amber rolls her eyes.

She's a 10 out of 10 girl.

Amber was the most gorgeous, genuine girl.

She always knew how to make other people laugh. It's going to be very quiet

without Amber.

The cat.

Oh, my God, oh, my God. Can't believe what I've become.

I like what?

You got a tie? Yeah. I'm never going to tell you that.

Huh? Why did I say you're my dog? Why?

I'm intrigued.

He said kiss, man. I sucked his finger.

I feel like at the end of the year, we're going at a pretty good pace.

Look at you.

Aww.

How do you feel about Remy?

He's a nice guy. Are you happy with how things are going?

Every time we talk, we don't talk about each other. Why is that?

Good catch.

Do you still want to pull people?

Yeah. It's a warm vibe.

The next one in line is Kenna. The whole time she was talking, I was just looking

at her lips.

Yeah, come here, mate. She's trying to get out of bed with me already. Is that

that bad?

Mm-hmm. So you feel like there's something missing sometimes?

Yeah. Just taking a decision just to go, just be friends for now. The boy with

the fewest votes.

Kenna. I'm absolutely gutted. Honestly, I love him.

Kenna brought nothing but positive energy.

To Love Island.

To Flutters and have a nice little bit of fudge get up for the one and only

Shanice Fudge Love having been in there. Do you know what it just brings back so

many memories and like I watch it so differently now But I'm absolutely

loving it like this season. I think it's one of the best. I absolutely love it I

think the cast absolutely brilliant

Now obviously we're gonna talk about this series, but we've got to talk about

you. Are you looking well guys? I'm sorry to disappoint, but I'm not dating

at the moment.

I'm actually just enjoying me I'm just all about you know the

self-love. I'm just concentrating on my second Yeah, I'm doing great and you got

you got the moves I'm gonna ask that question though if you were in the

villa, who would you go for?

No, it's not my back man, but in that fella who would it be about I tell you

what?

I think Jax, you know?

Yeah. Is it because of what we saw? Because I love when you see a little bit

of an emotional reveal when someone surprises you. Yeah, no, for sure. I

mean, like...

I think it's just a typical man, you know, like, they don't like to show

feelings and stuff. Yeah. But, I mean, I think he is opening up slowly, and I

like that. I'm just liking him seeing, you know, like, bringing out his

personality, so... Yeah, I like it. I like it for him. Yeah, I like it. Yeah.

I want to talk about the recoupling. There's a lot of shock recouplings going

on at the moment, and I remember when you were in there. I remember Rebecca

came in, stole Luke. Oh, does she? I was absolutely fuming.

I'm sorry.

What is that like when that happens? Because you've no choice. You then have

to, like, go to bed with someone else.

Do you know what? I think it's the decision, but it's how you respond to

it, I think.

And, yeah, it does kind of catch you off guard, but, you know, yeah, it just kind

of... It's just the worst position to be in because it doesn't go the way you

want it to go. You say it's the worst position, but, like, there's so much

drama already, but you know what it's like to have other dramas because you

still have to face Casa Amor and things like that.

What is that like when that happens?

Do you know what? It's so nerve-wracking and I think it's just the unknown. I

think, for me, it's just the unknown of not knowing, like, what is going on,

but... I do think it is the best test in there to see if, you know, if it's real,

if it's not. So as much as, you know, people dread Casamore, I think it's a

positive thing. Yeah.

You know, because time will tell.

But I do think Dami and Indy are in with a good chance.

a scorcher this week, both here and in the villa. And we're about to push the

temperature up even more as we go live to the beach hut where Jay is waiting to

speak to us. How are you, Jay?

How are you doing, Laura? You good? Yeah, I'm good. It's nice to see you.

How are you doing after, son?

Yes, it's so good. I get so excited when we're talking to the villa live.

You've been in there a couple of weeks now. How are you settling in? How is

villa life?

Oh, it's amazing.

Honestly, you feel like you're on a holiday.

I'm having so much fun. Honestly, time of my life. Now, you went in there with

Remy. He was your wingman.

Obviously, he was dumped from the island.

Who is your new wingman? Who are your top three boys?

My top three boys is actually Davide, Dami and...

Probably Andrew, actually. Andy and I are getting a wee bit close there as

well. So, yeah, we've got a good team.

Lots of bromance going on in there.

We have heard, Jay, that you're... Yeah, let's do it. Let's go for it. Right,

it's time for Aftersun versus The Villa.

Playing for Team Aftersun tonight, we've got our Darren.

And for Team Villa, well, it's you, Jay, so no pressure.

OK, bring it on.

Right, last week it was a draw.

Do you think you can do better? Do you think you can get a point for the villa?

Yeah, I think I can. Hopefully I can bring one back for the villa.

Okay, Darren?

No chance, Jay. You're going down, son.

Fight and talk. Right, get those chalkboards at the ready.

Here is your first question.

They're going to take it really seriously now. I love it.

Oh, we've got the scary music.

Question one.

Which islander's ideal partner must like cheeseburgers? And that is non

-negotiable. Write down your answers. Now, I feel like Amber and Akenna know.

Must like cheeseburgers. Which islander's ideal partner must like

cheeseburgers? OK, Darren's saying India. Jay is saying... Who?

Paige and Jax. Paige and Jax.

And the answer is... Well, you're both wrong. It was Danica.

You want to know who is this wee baby?

Ah, look at them.

Okay, who is that? Write down your answers on the chalkboard.

Okay,

who do we think?

Who do we think?

Okay, reveal your answers now, please.

Darren is getting nervous. Paige.

I can't actually see what's there.

I don't have them up on the board.

And you're saying Gemma. Jay's saying Gemma.

And the answer is Gemma. That's a point for Jade.

Well played, well played. Okay, the villa is ahead of Aptosone. Come on,

Darren. Right, last question. This is it. We always hear about the islander's

type on paper, but which boy drew himself and his ideal partner here?

Write down your answers. Which boy drew this?

Jade, looks like you.

Who drew that?

I'm going to have to push you now.

The tension.

Okay, so Darren, you are saying Davide. Jay, you are saying Davide.

And the answer is both of you. Davide's right answer. Both of you are right.

over to you. Can you update the scores? Oh, Darren, that's not looking very

good, is it, for Aftersun?

We've got some work to do. Jay, congratulations.

Thank you for being on Aftersun.

Look how happy he looks. Doesn't he look lovely? Looks lovely.

Right. Well, as we're on the subject of our Islanders, let's move on to our

couples. Now, there's definitely been...

A little bit of tension around Tasha and Andrew the last few days. What do we

make of this situation, Snoochie?

Tasha and Andrew? I think that Tasha is into Charlie, let's face it. Yeah, I do,

I do. I think she's kind of... I don't know, I feel like she might have got the

ick a little bit with Andrew.

And, yeah, she was just like, Charlie's my vibe now. So that's what I'm thinking

from what I'm seeing.

And I kid you, she got a little bit upset when the boys start questioning

her. Oh, she did. Whether she really likes Andrew. She got a little bit

upset, a few tears. But do you know what? Tasha keeps telling us she's very

sassy.

And we're yet to see that. There you go.

So, I understand the tears, because even though she tells us she's sassy, I'm yet

to believe it. You want to see some sass? But I just feel for Andrew.

I honestly feel... And I feel like he's being paid for a mug.

Well, let's speak about Andrew, Darren. How do you think Andrew has handled the

whole situation?

I feel sorry for him.

I...

No, no guy wants his girlfriend to be walking around telling people I want to

go back to being a bad bitch

She's like I want

to be a bad bitch and then when they were like like quite like Saying what'd

you say? Yeah, she did. She did. She was like if you were really a bad bitch you

go up to them and be like oi Yeah, stop that now, but she was like i'm gonna

wait 24 hours. She needed a neck and so personal moment in the mirror

And then give it to her not 24 hours later Well, let's talk about one couple

that seemed to be going from strength to strength and that's Gemma and Luca

They're back as a couple again. They seem very Are they a good match

kitty? Do you know what? They are a good match, but it's all getting a bit boring

now, isn't it, with Gemma and Luca?

What they need is... Is their happiness boring you? Their happiness is boring.

We need Toxic. They need... They need me in the hot tub in a little key name.

Yeah, Luca won't know what's hitting him. He'll be like, baby!

I'll bring the second.

They do seem, Suji, very comfortable together.

Do you think anything...

Can rock them because you know, we heard we heard them talking jemma sometimes,

you know, she's a bit quieter luke is very Well, I mean we need to send in kim

kardashian because apparently he said when kim comes in his head's not turning

So bring her in right now and we will say a hundred percent get her there. I

think that luca is um More into jemma than jemma's into him. I think they get

on really really well But I feel like luke is just constantly like around

turn. Well, i'm gonna kenna you were in there. Do you get that vibe? Do you

think that luca is maybe into jemma more?

Hmm. Are they strong? Do you think they're a good couple? Can they last?

They're my faves. Oh, they're your faves? Yeah, I think they're into each

other as much as they are. Yeah, I think it's equal, but I think it comes across

as Lucas. As mostly Lucas, but... Yeah, he's just... Couples, Davide had a

little bit of a...

Can you call that a smooch?

Danica. But then he didn't choose her.

What was that about, Darren?

I mean, that wasn't a smooch. Did you see when he kissed her? He kissed Danica

to stop her from talking.

That's what he did. He just interrupted her and said, I'll do anything, please

just stop.

Can we talk about...

My god, I'm saying it wrong. Antigone.

Her energy when she goes in there.

We were talking about this earlier. She's a girl's girl.

And she went in, she made the effort with the girls and said, like, this is

the situation.

And I've been really underwhelmed by her.

Because I'm just like, you said you were going to come in, steal everyone's man,

turn their heads. And it was just a bit like, I'm waiting for that to happen. I

don't know.

Every year, when making the tea, you'd be getting the Irelanders.

To spill it, let's see how you got on as the new trainee Beach Hot producer.

You're the islanders and stuff.

Shit, shit, shit, shit.

OK. What we saying?

OMG,

it's Jax the Lad.

All right, babes. Now, I reckon we could have a real connection.

I feel like we're probably...

Two flirtatious people. I can't disagree, Jax. You're definitely in my

top three this week.

Now, listen, Islanders, I am Kitty Scott-Clause and I am your new Beach Hut

producer. How are you all feeling?

I'm so excited, honestly.

Are you excited?

It feels good. I'm happy.

Oh, good.

Let's ask some serious, hard-hitting questions only a real producer would

ask. Tasha?

What's your favorite way to do it?

Is it telepathy?

Now, Jack, you and Paige had a saucy night in the hideaway. Hannibal, if you

need a rubdown.

OK,

Luca, it's been three weeks now. I have to get down to the all-important

question. How are you coping without watching Bargain Hunt?

Listen, I ain't gonna lie, I'm absolutely gutted.

Now, listen, loves, has anyone had a thought about what they're going to do

after they leave the villa?

See, in my spare time, I run a talent agency, Kitty Scott Talent.

I'm basically Simon Calvert with smaller boobs.

Anyone got any special skills?

What am I supposed to do?

Maybe something fun?

Like what?

Do I have to do everything for you lot? Fine, OK, let's start with the boys.

So sorry over to you Luca But

it's a yes from me anyone else Seen it before love then it will good at

impressions. I mean I can Gemma what did you think?

That was bad that was rad so bad now Charlie how to think I've done tonight

obviously quite a overwhelming daunting situation to come in and you know uh

have all eyes on you danica be honest have the girl said anything nice about

my producing skills it was just yeah i feel like a lot of them were very much

like oh my god okay wow i don't know how to take that luca you like my

interviewing technique don't ya you must be taking the piss be a bit personal now

guys there's no point stressing about it is there Actually, you're right. I'm not

bothered at all.

I think any girl, you know, that says, you know, I'm not, like, bothered at

all, there is a hint of bullshit in that.

Well, that's better than talking horse shit, Gemma.

Sorry, Michael Owen.

I'm Bessie Mates with Laura Whitmore.

You can take your beach hut and shove it right up your big, fat, hairy...

Right, I think it's asking the hard-hitting questions.

That's what we need. You're getting some good answers out of them. Right,

literally. I hope I get the job. Yeah, maybe just have a backup plan too.

Right, Luca and Gemma seem like a pretty solid couple, but are they? Remember I

mentioned that little exclusive earlier on?

Have a look about this. This is from tomorrow night's show. It's a goodie.

Who's Gemma's mind?

give me a glimpse of your eyes for a second just a glimpse so reading your

soul you like luca but you're finding it tough to open up properly you feel like

luca probably likes you more than you like him but you're okay with that

because obviously he has more possibly getting hurt than you

I'm trying to think, man, there's a lot. So far, so good. Yeah. Really?

Yeah, I thought it was true.

You're happy with Luca right now. It would take a lot for your head to turn.

If something really came in that was 100% you, I had the chat of Luca,

I feel like that was when the confusion would come for you. Done? Like a book?

Yeah. That was good, man. Yeah, that was quite impressive.

Yeah, I mean, I don't... Listen, wherever we've read here, please just

leave it here, cos I don't want any... Yeah, no, I don't think you're that far

wrong.

I mean, Dami, the minor in it, he's good. He's very good. Snoochie, what do

you reckon?

I think he's spot on. Yeah, I'm not saying I'm psychic, cos I was saying

that before as well, but yeah, I think that's exactly the vibe that's going

down. I'm Mystic Meg right now. Oh, my God. I'm Mystic Meg.

Yeah. And he said it to her. Yeah, he said it to her, and she agreed,

basically. She literally said, yeah, not far off. Yeah, and then the shades went

back down.

She looks like she's about to cry as well. I'd be like... Can I hire Dami or

Snoochie to help me with my life? Yeah, 100%. Yeah, 100%. Done.

Hired. Right, we've seen from tomorrow night's preview that Ekansu is at the

centre of the drama again.

So I thought, when the mammy is here, I'll ask her, does Ekansu ever have a

quiet week? Is this standard Ekansu?

Believe or not, we have some quite weeks at home. OK.

Yes. There are some.

Arda, did you know when your sister was going in there that she was going to

be... I mean, she's TV gold.

Did you see this happening?

Mate, I'm not going to lie, people ask me, like, is it weird to see your sister

on TV? And I'm just like, mate, I've expected this to happen from day dot,

like...

Like, you know, I think she was really born to do this. And I'm glad you guys

are starting to see my sister on TV now and see how she's like.

And now you're seeing my face on your screens, everyone. Get used to it,

because you're going to see a lot more. Oh, my God!

It runs in the family,

doesn't it? I feel like a family show.

Kardashians, watch out, I see a family show.

Right, thank you all. It's great to hear your thoughts, as ever. Give it up for

Ekansu's mum and brother.

And touching social media and one of you eagle-eyed viewers you spotted this have

a look at this, right Charlie

uncanny, can I just say I love the fact they both

look equally smug

as well the rock hard hair it's everything if you guys at home if you

ever think any of our islanders have look-alikes and we want to see them post

them on your socials using the hashtag love island after sun and they may

appear on this show so as neil buchanan would say go on try it yourself at home

right guys we're three weeks in now kitty if you were an actual producer uh

what twist would you like to see this week because there's a lot of drama

coming I want either me to enter the villa in a little coonie. I don't know

if that's going to happen. Or Casa Amor. Casa Amor. Bring it on!

Finally, Snoochie, who do you think will win Love Island 2022?

Well, I'm going to say Dami and India, 100%, 100%. Or if Egg and Sue and Davide

get back together. You guys are thinking Gemma.

Gemma and Luca, you guys said earlier on.

Kitty, who do you think?

Dami and India. Dami and India.

And that's all we have time for tonight.

But playing us out is the one and only Dan Parkinson with his brilliant version

of the Love Island theme tune. There it is. Yeah!

Please give it up for our Love Island superfan, Snitchy Shy, Kelly Scott-Claw,

and Danny Rose.

Our Love Island star in a reasonably priced bar, I love her, Shanice Fudge.
