Love Island: Bombshell Jacques shakes things up as Ekin-Su makes a move on Davide

Katy Brennan

Stay tuned after the show for Liam’s first interview since shock departure.

It looks like we’re in for another explosive episode of Love Island tonight with the arrival of bombshell Jacques O’Neill.

A shock recoupling on Friday left Paige and Afia single, so both islanders are first up to go on a date with the newbie, as the other girls look on from the terrace.

It’s not long before Gemma gasps: “Oh my god, no, that’s my ex boyfriend.”

On her date with Jacques, Afia is keen to know more, and asks: “Did it end amicably?”

Jacques replies: “I wouldn’t say so, maybe not, I am not sure but we will have to find out won’t we?”

Friday’s recoupling also saw Luca break up Gemma and Davide by choosing her to couple up with, while Davide opted for newcomer Ekin-Su – and it hasn’t taken long for things to heat up between the latter pair.

Ekin-Su is quick to make her move on the Italian, with a passionate first kiss.

Later, in the Beach Hut, she says: “I feel so happy, I just gave him another kiss, and another kiss led to a peck, and another one, and I was like oh my god, we need to stop.”

Her attention may be all on Davide, but she also finds time to give Indiyah a quick pep-talk, encouraging her to kiss Ikenna.

“You either pull back or you go in, and when I mean in, you go in and you take the risk you put all the games to a side and you kiss him and you see if he’s passionate back, then you will know,” she tells her.

Speaking in the Beach Hut, Indiyah decides it’s time to go for it: “I need to put my big girl boots on.”

Elsewhere in the show, the islanders indulge in a game of ‘Never Have I Ever’ with questions ranging from whether they’ve ever cheated to whether they’ve tried bondage.

A shocking revelation comes in the form of Davide and Ekin-Su both admitting they like sucking toes (if only Jake Cornish was still there).

Later, Jacques pulls Gemma for a private chat to clear the air, after she admits to the girls that she still does “fancy him, like 100%”.

Does this mean the end of Gemma and Luca?

Love Island airs tonight at 9pm on Virgin Media Two and Virgin Media Player.

It’s also been confirmed that Liam, who made a shock exit from the show last week, will appear on Aftersun for his first interview since his departure.
