00:02:23This is Love Island 2025.
00:02:48Random aerial shots of the sea?
00:02:51It can only mean one thing.
00:02:52Either Sir David Attenborough has been strapping cameras to seagulls again,
00:02:56or Love Island is back.
00:03:02Yes, the nation's favourite villa has been opened up,
00:03:05hose down, and it's ready for action.
00:03:08The pool is inviting, the fire pit is primed,
00:03:12and the hideaway is still not remotely hidden.
00:03:15This year there's loads of extra goodies in there, and after spotting the eight double beds,
00:03:2012 sound loungers, and two giant outdoor beds, the producers realise what the villa really needs is another place to lie down.
00:03:29So say hello to the hammock.
00:03:33Hang on, is that not a trampoline?
00:03:35Let's just call it a hampoline.
00:03:37Once again our Islanders will be wearing a selection of pre-loved clothing, pre-light clothing,
00:03:43and pre-dear God I was drunk when I bought that clothing.
00:03:47Right, strap yourselves in everybody, because at last the wait is over and the time has come to say hello to the cast of 2025.
00:03:56Yes, they're young, they're single, and they can put their arms in the air like they just don't care.
00:04:02This is Shakira and Meg.
00:04:05Hi darling, how are you? Good girl.
00:04:08Oh my God, well look at you.
00:04:10I'm ready. I'm so ready.
00:04:11What's your name? Megan. What's your name?
00:04:13I'm Shakira. Shakira, Shakira, Shakira.
00:04:16The hips don't lie.
00:04:18I'm so Jennifer and I can't see you when I don't see you.
00:04:24Oh my God.
00:04:26Stop. Stop.
00:04:28Oh my goodness.
00:04:30Meg are actually here.
00:04:32Look at the pool.
00:04:34This is insane.
00:04:35Oh, look at the kitchen.
00:04:36Oh my God.
00:04:37Eat, sleep, crack on repeat.
00:04:39Oh, look at this.
00:04:40Hey, hey up.
00:04:42Hey up.
00:04:43Let's pop that bottle.
00:04:44Hey up, don't.
00:04:45Let's pop that bottle.
00:04:46I'll let you do the honours.
00:04:47You know what?
00:04:48This isn't on my CV, but I'll do my best.
00:04:50Wow.
00:04:51Yay!
00:04:56I'm Megan.
00:04:57I'm 25 and I'm a payroll specialist from South Africa.
00:05:00No one in my office is fit.
00:05:02No one in my area.
00:05:04No one in the gym.
00:05:05Why do you think I'm here?
00:05:09I have been single now for four and a half years.
00:05:12Bit too long.
00:05:13In my life.
00:05:14In my life.
00:05:15I don't have a dating profile.
00:05:17I don't date.
00:05:18I don't even know when my last kiss was.
00:05:20I don't know.
00:05:21Every time.
00:05:22My type is a naughty boy.
00:05:25I go for all of the red flags.
00:05:26Just the cheekiness of him, the attitude, but it's the evil eyes.
00:05:30When you look at me in a certain way, probably what's going to get me.
00:05:33Why just let me show you.
00:05:35I always attract the wrong ones, but then I give them my heart because I'm such a softie.
00:05:41I am going into Love Island to get a boyfriend.
00:05:45It's not much to ask for.
00:05:47I just want someone to treat me right and get away from the bad boys.
00:05:50So what do you do then?
00:05:55What do you think I do?
00:05:56Let us have that.
00:05:57I don't know.
00:05:58You're too glamorous to do a nine to five.
00:06:00Really?
00:06:01Yeah.
00:06:02What do I do then?
00:06:03It's something interesting.
00:06:04Go on, I'll never guess.
00:06:05So I do payroll.
00:06:06I'm a payroll specialist.
00:06:07She's a corporate girlie.
00:06:08So I am.
00:06:09I'm a corporate girlie.
00:06:10She's a corporate girlie.
00:06:11What do you do?
00:06:12I do sales and marketing.
00:06:13Do you?
00:06:14Oh, of course.
00:06:15You've got the chat.
00:06:16I do dress up as a princess on a weekend.
00:06:18Yeah.
00:06:19Same.
00:06:20No, no, no, no.
00:06:21You keep it.
00:06:22No, I'm an actual princess.
00:06:23Why?
00:06:24Like, I do kids' parties.
00:06:25You're an entertainer?
00:06:28Yeah.
00:06:29Right.
00:06:36I'm so excited.
00:06:38Hi, I'm Shakira.
00:06:39I'm 22 years old and I'm a marketing engineer from Burnley.
00:06:43You know what?
00:06:45I've been a bit of a dating connoisseur.
00:06:47I'm on the apps.
00:06:48I'm on the town.
00:06:49I'm on the prowl.
00:06:50I feel like if you don't kiss a boy in a night out, it's a bit of a waste.
00:06:54I like everything with a pulse, basically.
00:06:57Big arms, good teeth, but they've got to have the chat.
00:07:02Girls are definitely intimidated by me.
00:07:04I get the looks up and down, a bit of the stink eye.
00:07:07Cling on to your man, honey, because I'll take him.
00:07:10Whoopsie.
00:07:11By 25, I need to be engaged.
00:07:1528, I want to be married.
00:07:1630 popping out kids.
00:07:17Like, we've not got time.
00:07:19We've got to be getting on with it.
00:07:21I need Love Island to find me my Prince Charming.
00:07:25She's coming to get you.
00:07:27Do you have someone for me?
00:07:31I want a man though.
00:07:32I've had enough now.
00:07:33You've had enough of boys.
00:07:34You want a man?
00:07:35I want a real man.
00:07:36Amen to that.
00:07:37Give me a man!
00:07:38Man!
00:07:39Give me a Meg!
00:07:40M-A-N for Meg!
00:07:43Yeah!
00:07:44That's a good one!

00:07:49Well, quite easily.

00:08:58I am 23 years old and I am a wealth management client services executive from Glasgow.
00:09:04I have been single since I can remember.
00:09:0823 years.
00:09:09I am a hopeless romantic.
00:09:12You know, that fairytale type of love face.
00:09:15You know when you just look at a guy and they've got like that Prince Charming like Disney Prince look to them?
00:09:20Yeah.
00:09:21I can get that ick quite easily.
00:09:23If I'm not feeling you, I won't flirt.
00:09:25But if I am, yeah.
00:09:26I can get quite flirty.
00:09:27I'm a 10 out of 10, of course.
00:09:29I think I've got a really nice smile.
00:09:31And then...
00:09:32I do need to get the vibe that you've got money, you can treat me, you know.
00:09:38Just give me the Prince's treatment that I deserve.
00:09:40100% I want to see if my Prince Charming is out there.
00:09:43The qualities that I look for in a man are so different now to what I was like, yeah.
00:09:51Now, I'm like, is he gonna be a good dad?
00:09:54Is he the...
00:09:55Like, if he's paternal, I'm like, what a baby!
00:09:58I'm Sophie.
00:09:59I'm 29.
00:10:00I'm a motivational speaker and author.
00:10:01And I'm from Manchester.
00:10:02She's an author, you know.
00:10:03She's got brains.
00:10:04For dating life, I'd say it's more just life.
00:10:05The streets are cold.
00:10:06Especially up north.
00:10:07So please don't make me wave.
00:10:08I've only had one boyfriend.
00:10:09You'd think as a motivational speaker I'd be picking the securely attached men.
00:10:12But no, I'm picking the ones that are making me cry, ruining my life.
00:10:15Big red flag.
00:10:16Now, if a guy's not for me, then it's next.
00:10:19It has to be the right person.
00:10:21Anyone can look amazing.

00:11:11Hurry up!
00:11:12Where are they?
00:11:13We want the boys!
00:11:14We want the boys!
00:11:16Hurry up!
00:11:17There's a drought!
00:11:21Patience, everyone, there's two more ladies on the way.
00:11:24Quick question, what country just has a love heart as its number playing?
00:11:28My gut says Italy.
00:11:30Anyway, welcome Meghan and Helen.
00:11:33Got a hold on...
00:11:35Oh my God, you're like...
00:11:37I like it, nice to meet you!
00:11:40Lovely to meet you, darling.
00:11:52Oh, I can hear the giggles.
00:11:54The girlies are here.
00:11:57Oh my God!
00:11:59Oh my God!
00:12:00Oh my God!
00:12:01Oh my God, Megan!
00:12:02Hi!
00:12:03Hi, guys!
00:12:04Hi!
00:12:05Hi!
00:12:06Helen, I love you to meet you.
00:12:07Oh my God, everybody looks really fit.
00:12:08Oh, Megan, nice to meet you.
00:12:09Oh my God, it's going to get bloody confusing, isn't it?
00:12:10Oh my God!
00:12:11We've got the same name!
00:12:12I'm Megan, I'm Megan, I'm 24 and I'm an energy broker from Dublin.
00:12:19I've been single by two and a half years now.
00:12:21It's rough out here, hell and horror.
00:12:22I'm sick of dating.
00:12:23I can't do it anymore, hence why I'm here.
00:12:24I had a man ask me, did I want to go on a walk for a day?
00:12:26I was like, I'm not a dog, but thank you for the offer.
00:12:27If I had to pick, like, a certain look, I quite like a man that looks a bit dead, you know what I mean?
00:12:56Like, Tim Burton kind of style.
00:12:58I'm also partial to a ginger.
00:12:59I don't know if that's the Irish in me.
00:13:01I know it shouldn't be the be all and end all in a relationship, but sex is important, so if they are shit in bed, I feel like that would just come back in my face.
00:13:09I'm so competitive.
00:13:13Say if I want a man in the villa and I see another girl wanting to be filming, like, if you want to miss out on this, that's fine, that's your own problem.
00:13:19I am looking to find a guy in my dreams in that villa.
00:13:25He has to be there because he's nowhere else, apparently.
00:13:28To be born again, baby, to be born again.
00:13:31Are you a personality girl?
00:13:33I'm...
00:13:34Yeah, I am.
00:13:35Now I am.
00:13:36I am a big personality girl.
00:13:37Now I am.
00:13:38I love a four out of ten.
00:13:39That's funny.
00:13:40You like medium ugly boy?
00:13:41Yes.
00:13:42Yes.
00:13:43I love a medium ugly boy.
00:13:44I'm stay here, stay here.
00:13:46I'm Helena.
00:13:47I'm 29.
00:13:48I'm an air hostess and I'm from Devon.
00:13:50I do love my job.
00:13:51You could have, like, a different man in every different country if you wanted.
00:13:57I've been single my whole bloody life.
00:13:59No one wants me.
00:14:01I just don't take anything seriously.
00:14:03I think that's the problem.
00:14:05On a night out, I'm pretty feral.
00:14:08I think I've kissed six on one night before.
00:14:10It's not a night out unless you've had a disco kiss.
00:14:13My type is just something that can make me laugh.
00:14:17But apparently I love a short king because everybody that I go for is about five foot nothing.
00:14:21The majority of the time I say I get the people that I like.
00:14:24They just don't hang around that long.
00:14:25I think the last two people I was seeing, one of them was 42 and the other one was 23.
00:14:30So I could go for them or their death.
00:14:37I'm at that point now where I'm trying to get into my soft girl era.
00:14:40I cannot wait to hopefully meet a man that actually wants to tie me down.
00:14:44I think I've waited a long enough time.
00:14:50Your biggest ick, one ick.
00:14:52Oh.
00:14:53Someone that takes themselves, like, too seriously.
00:14:55Like, you know, like, that takes, like, selfies and stuff.
00:14:57Oh, no, no, no.
00:14:58Oh, my God.
00:14:59Yeah.
00:15:00What's yours?
00:15:01Just being rude to people, like, waiters and stuff when you're in a restaurant.
00:15:03That's a massive ick.
00:15:04Yeah, that's a good one, yeah.
00:15:06See, for me, I don't like a guy who's got, like, a lot of Instagram highlights.
00:15:09What about if he's got you on there?
00:15:11Is that acceptable?
00:15:12If it's just every single highlight, it's me, yeah.
00:15:14Yeah, but if it's, like, different things, I'm like...
00:15:16So you like to be shown off?
00:15:17Exactly, yeah.
00:15:18Mine's flip-flops.
00:15:19If a man's walking to you and he's damn sexy and all you've got is flip-flop with his toe, like...
00:15:24I like a flip-flop!
00:15:26You can have him, babe.
00:15:28Save him for later.
00:15:29You can have him.
00:15:30Sliders.
00:15:31Sliders is fine.
00:15:32You're just too...
00:15:39clean, girl.
00:15:42Wear clothes, move on.
00:15:44eBay sponsors Love Island.
00:15:49John from works and it's a lovely hike.
00:15:53Triathlon, John.
00:15:57Wear clothes, move on.
00:15:58eBay sponsors Love Island.
00:16:07Six girls have made their entrance and because they refuse to wear the flowy name tags I crocheted for them, I have to remind you who's who.
00:16:14There's Meg, Sophie, Helena, Aleema, Megan and Shakira.
00:16:27We've got six incredible girls, we've got a stunning luxury villa, we've even got a hampoline, but there's just one thing missing.
00:16:36Cause you know I'd be a liar if I said we didn't need a Maya.
00:16:43She's a Batman pajama.
00:16:46Just as fine as she can be.
00:16:49Hey!

00:17:36Amazing!
00:17:37You look amazing!
00:17:38Thank you!
00:17:39You just scared me then, I thought there was another go off.
00:17:40Did you?
00:17:41Not already!
00:17:42Right, have a seat.
00:17:43Okay!
00:17:44So, welcome to Love Island Girls!
00:17:45Hi!
00:17:46Thank you!
00:17:47So how is everybody feeling?
00:17:48Excited!
00:17:49Excited!
00:17:50It is a bit surreal, isn't it, once you're in here?
00:17:53It is!
00:17:54I need to know your type, so I feel like that's where everyone should start.
00:17:56So, should we start with you Shakira?
00:17:58So I want someone who's tall, muscly, nice smile, but for me it's all about personality.
00:18:05Ritty, charming, funny.
00:18:07Ritty, charming, funny.
00:18:09That's all at once.
00:18:10Okay, not too much to ask for.
00:18:12No, I don't think so.
00:18:14And Helena, what about you, looks or personality?
00:18:16Personality always.
00:18:17My pass is very low though, I'm not fussed.
00:18:20I'm really not fussed.
00:18:21Don't say that, you can have a pick of the bunch here.
00:18:24And you make...
00:18:25I'm the total opposite to her.
00:18:27I'm like, tan skin, he's got to be taller than me.
00:18:30Everyone I go for has got the naughty eyes.
00:18:32It's just that look and I'm like, oh, he's me.
00:18:35It's like, when you know, you know.
00:18:37But at the same time, they're always the boys that you don't want.
00:18:40Like, they've...
00:18:41Peg, we can't change it.
00:18:43We can't be getting in fair with them because you might get digmatised.
00:18:46And you can't be digmatised.
00:18:48Have you been digmatised before, Sophie?
00:18:50I've only just come out of it.
00:18:52How long is the digmatisation, how long does that last?
00:18:55It could be the rest of your life, my love.
00:18:56No!
00:18:57What do you want?
00:18:59I really want someone who's a gentleman.
00:19:01Okay.
00:19:02And not a man-child.
00:19:03That I'm going to have to be questioning his loyalty, questioning his honesty.
00:19:06Someone who's got good, like, aura.
00:19:08Like, just oozes, like...
00:19:11Okay.
00:19:12Noted, Megan.
00:19:14What do you want?
00:19:15Do you want a rad?
00:19:16Do you want a digmatisation?
00:19:17We've got a few words flying around the place already.
00:19:19I'm not fussy.
00:19:20I'm easily trans, which is the problem.
00:19:22Okay.
00:19:23Medium ugly boys.
00:19:24Okay.
00:19:25So I'm here to step up my game.
00:19:26I feel, I think it's time, because the medium ugly boys have knocked it out for me recently.
00:19:30Well, that's the reason you're here, isn't it?
00:19:31Exactly.
00:19:32Okay.
00:19:33Aleema, what about you?
00:19:34What is your normal type?
00:19:35Who do you usually go for?
00:19:36Prince Charming, kind of vibes like Disney Prince, and then no facial hair either.
00:19:40Just like baby face and then tall.
00:19:42Yeah.
00:19:43And what about job-wise?
00:19:44Do we care about what job they have?
00:19:46Do you know what?
00:19:47A quality for me is someone with drive.
00:19:49Yeah.
00:19:50I feel like you could be out of a job, but if you've got drive, then you'll always be doing something.
00:19:54Ambition.
00:19:55Ambition.
00:19:56What is a good occupation then to go for then?
00:19:58What are you at?
00:19:59What would you say green flag?
00:20:00Trader.
00:20:01Like a trader.
00:20:02A man in cargoes.
00:20:03A man in work.
00:20:04Oh, yeah.
00:20:05And what about like sporty people?
00:20:07I do like a footballer.
00:20:08You do?
00:20:09Yeah.
00:20:10I agree.
00:20:11I really don't like rugby boys.
00:20:12No, not the rugby boys.
00:20:13All right.
00:20:14Well, this year things are slightly different.
00:20:16Oh, no.
00:20:17Oh, no.
00:20:18You've obviously told me what your type on paper is.
00:20:20Shit.
00:20:21But does that match your ideal man in reality?
00:20:23Oh.
00:20:24I hope it does.
00:20:25Okay.
00:20:26Come and join me by the pool.
00:20:27Oh!
00:20:48Girls, in front of you are six love hearts.
00:20:52And each boy has given me their dating profile, which is written on each of these hearts.
00:20:57So shall we have a little look at what boys we've got on offer?
00:21:00Yeah.
00:21:01Yeah.
00:21:02We've got Ben, 23, taxi driver, six foot three, and his headline is, no, I'm not a catfish.
00:21:11What do we think about that?
00:21:13Six foot three, you say?
00:21:14Yeah.
00:21:15Brilliant.
00:21:16Ben.
00:21:17So you're impressed by Ben so far?
00:21:18Yeah.
00:21:19Yeah.
00:21:20I'm not a fan of the taxi driver.
00:21:21Why not?
00:21:22It's giving me dad vibes, but we'll see what he looks like.
00:21:26I'm intrigued by the, no, I'm not a catfish.
00:21:29He must be very good looking.
00:21:31But is he a bit arrogant?
00:21:33These are the questions.
00:21:34Let's move on to Dejon.
00:21:3526, personal trainer, six foot one.
00:21:39And his headline is, I like to play hard and work harder.
00:21:43I love to play.
00:21:44So I work very hard.
00:21:46It's very poetic.
00:21:48Is it poetic?
00:21:49I don't know.
00:21:50It's giving me a bit icky.
00:21:51Okay.
00:21:52Meg, you like an older guy.
00:21:53He's 26.
00:21:54That's all right for me.
00:21:55He sounds good in the making so far.
00:21:57So yeah.
00:21:58Personal trainers, are they green flags, red flags?
00:22:00I would say green flags, because it means they take care of themselves.
00:22:03And I think that's really important, you know?
00:22:04If you're into fitness, you want a man who also is into fitness.
00:22:07But he said he loves to play.
00:22:09Is that a red flag?
00:22:10That's what I'm thinking.
00:22:11He loves to play.
00:22:12I know.
00:22:13What does that mean?
00:22:14What context?
00:22:15What do you mean?
00:22:16Let's go for Harry next.
00:22:18He's 30.
00:22:19Commodities trader, six foot two.
00:22:23And his headline is, I'm somewhere between a wild card and a husband.
00:22:26I know what I want, and I'm not afraid to get it.
00:22:29Hello, Harry.
00:22:30He's got some on.
00:22:32Has he got that four you were looking for?
00:22:34Oh, she made the noise.
00:22:36Do you like a man that goes after what he wants?
00:22:38Yeah.
00:22:39Of course.
00:22:40He's got a one, you know?
00:22:41Exactly.
00:22:42And makes you feel good.
00:22:43Exactly.
00:22:44Does anyone know what a commodities trader is?
00:22:45Yeah, what is a commodities trader?
00:22:47I feel like that's a bit of a nine to five.
00:22:49Yeah, like offers.
00:22:51Yeah.
00:22:52You like nine to five?
00:22:53No.
00:22:54Not a fan of the grafties.
00:22:56No, I like the grafties.
00:22:57I don't like the corporate boys, the finance bros.
00:23:00Oh, okay, you're not looking for a man in financing.
00:23:02No.
00:23:03That's off.
00:23:04Let's move on to Connor.
00:23:0525, pro rugby player.
00:23:07Ooh.
00:23:08Six foot one.
00:23:10His headline is, I've scored worldies on and off the pitch, but now I'm here to find the
00:23:15one.
00:23:16A seasoned data potentially.
00:23:18Yeah.
00:23:19He's ready to settle, which is good.
00:23:20Yeah, that's quite nicely saying that.
00:23:22I think it comes across quite cocky.
00:23:24Helena, you said you don't like rugby boys.
00:23:26I don't like rugby boys.
00:23:27I don't.
00:23:28A rugby boy.
00:23:29You can tell someone's a rugby boy before you can speak to them.
00:23:30What is it that gives away?
00:23:31Just by their mannerisms.
00:23:32Yeah.
00:23:33Yeah.
00:23:34It's not for me.
00:23:35Is that a rugby boy mannerism?
00:23:37Yeah.
00:23:38Okay.
00:23:39Let's move on to Blue.
00:23:4126, project manager.
00:23:43Five foot eleven.
00:23:45I'm looking for my sexy senorita to sip margaritas.
00:23:49Is he Spanish?
00:23:50Who knows?
00:23:51I can speak Portuguese.
00:23:52You do?
00:23:53And Spanish as well.
00:23:54Love that, bilingual queen.
00:23:55And project manager.
00:23:56What do we think about that as a job role?
00:23:58Yeah.
00:23:59That could mean anything.
00:24:00Well, projects.
00:24:01He's going to be smart and I like that.
00:24:03Okay.
00:24:04He's got to be hard working for that.
00:24:05Exactly.
00:24:06He works in the city.
00:24:08Yeah, a bit of a manager.
00:24:09I'm a manager like he does.
00:24:10He's ambitious.
00:24:11Yeah, exactly.
00:24:12I like that.
00:24:13Yeah, he takes control potentially.
00:24:14He could organise the dates.
00:24:16Right.
00:24:17Exactly.
00:24:18Like a man in charge later.
00:24:19I think he sounds a bit cheeky.
00:24:20I quite like it.
00:24:21Okay.
00:24:22Finally, let's move on to Tommy.
00:24:2422.
00:24:25Landscape gardener.
00:24:26Six foot one.
00:24:28And his headline is, half Italian, full of fun.
00:24:31Let's find out if you're the one.
00:24:34Great Shakespeare.
00:24:36How many times have you used that line?
00:24:38Because it's coming off smooth.
00:24:39Too smooth.
00:24:40Yeah.
00:24:41Oh, my God.
00:24:42Yeah, it's like too smooth.
00:24:43I've got Italian heritage as well.
00:24:44So, I'm like, is this my match?
00:24:49All right.
00:24:50It's now time to pick the boy that you most like the sound of based on paper alone.
00:24:56Only one girl can stand next to one boy.
00:24:59So, you're going to have to battle it out for the right guy for you.
00:25:02Oh, my God.
00:25:03And remember, this is the first boy you're going to be coupled up with.
00:25:07So, make your choice carefully.
00:25:09All right?
00:25:10Yeah.
00:25:11In three.
00:25:12Two.
00:25:13One.
00:25:14Aye, aye, aye.
00:25:15Go get your man.
00:25:19Some of you definitely went really quick.
00:25:20Why?
00:25:21Come on.
00:25:22Is this why?
00:25:23So, you all went for different ones.
00:25:24I nearly went for Ben, but Shakira beat me.
00:25:27Eleanor, you're with Connor.
00:25:28I thought you didn't like rugby players.
00:25:30I know.
00:25:31She didn't want.
00:25:32Yeah, but no one else wants to swap.
00:25:34Does anyone want to swap?
00:25:35I don't want a 22-year-old.
00:25:36He's a bit too young.
00:25:37I'll keep them.
00:25:38Access denied.
00:25:43Access denied.
00:25:44You keep hurry.
00:25:45It's fine.
00:25:46We can swap.
00:25:47We can swap later on, maybe.
00:25:48I'll let you know.
00:25:49We'll touch base.
00:25:50And we'll have a debrief, and I'll let you know.
00:25:52Maybe hand over tonight.
00:25:53We'll play wife swap later.
00:25:54Yeah, maybe hand over tonight.
00:25:56It's very diplomatic, girls.
00:25:57I'll take it.
00:25:59We'll give it a go.
00:26:00All right.
00:26:01We've done it.
00:26:02It's got instinct.
00:26:03Let's go with it.
00:26:04Okay, Shakira, you picked Ben.
00:26:06Are you ready to meet him?
00:26:07Yeah.
00:26:08Woo!
00:26:09Hello.
00:26:10Hello, Ben.
00:26:11You've got a round of applause.
00:26:12Look at that.
00:26:13What's going on?
00:26:14Yay!
00:26:15Welcome to the villa.
00:26:16Thank you very much.
00:26:17How are you doing?
00:26:18Good, thank you.
00:26:19Good.
00:26:20It's all right to look at it.
00:26:21It's all right.
00:26:22It's making me blush now.
00:26:23She is.
00:26:24Positive, yes.
00:26:25Let's go.
00:26:26I'm Ben.
00:26:27I'm 23.
00:26:28I'm a taxi driver and I'm from Gloucester.
00:26:30I always pick up girls that are fit.
00:26:31I try and keep it all professional, but they get in.
00:26:32The amount of times I've had a look like, are you sure you're my taxi?
00:26:37I was like, I am your taxi.
00:26:38Because I live for this.
00:26:39Probably rate myself a 9.37425.
00:26:40Exactly.
00:26:41My love life is a shambles at the minute.
00:26:42Social media's ruin everything, man.
00:26:43I need to meet a girl organically, where there's no filter, no faintness.
00:26:47Me and you in there, face to face, let's get to know each other.
00:26:52I'm a nuisance on and out.
00:26:53I'm cheeky and I'm flirty, but hey, he said be another girl, the way I'm.
00:27:00I'd be like, I don't get in my home, I don't know the way.
00:27:05I guess I would go, but I thought I would love it to be a little bit.
00:27:10He said being a flirt is a bad thing.
00:27:13I actually like being in a relationship.
00:27:15Loves a good thing.
00:27:16It's good to have a sensitive side.
00:27:18Hey, there's nothing wrong with being the little spoon.
00:27:20Let's just say that.
00:27:22I need to find a genuine connection.
00:27:24She's wifey, she's bad, she's sexy,
00:27:26and I need my passenger princess,
00:27:27because that seat at the minute, that seat's free.
00:27:32As you know, you gave us your dating profile.
00:27:35All the girls picked who they like the sound of on paper.
00:27:38Yes.
00:27:39Shakira picked you.
00:27:40How you doing, Shakira?
00:27:41Hello.
00:27:42You all right?
00:27:43Happy.
00:27:44You happy?
00:27:45Yeah.
00:27:46All smiles?
00:27:47Yeah, all good.
00:27:48Okay.
00:27:49You could have acted all nonchalant.
00:27:51I'm just trying to play it, cool.
00:27:55Okay, Ben.
00:27:56Let's go to meet Shakira.
00:27:58Right.
00:27:59Hello.
00:28:00Yeah, good.
00:28:04You smell good.
00:28:06We have our first Love Island couple, everyone.
00:28:08Shakira and Ben.
00:28:19If you love something, you should set it free.
00:28:21So I'm going to sell you.
00:28:22Where clothes move on.
00:28:23eBay sponsors Love Island.
00:28:24We're just not in the same place.
00:28:28Where clothes move on.
00:28:29eBay sponsors Love Island.
00:28:30Am I just dreaming?
00:28:31Children's entertainer Shakira's coupled up with Ben, or his kids across Burnley are currently
00:28:37shouting, Mum, Princess Spackle's on the telly and Prince Charmin's got his kit off.
00:28:44Right, let's see how the rest of them are getting along.
00:28:45All right, next up, Meg.
00:28:46Oh, God.
00:28:47Are you ready to meet Dajon?
00:28:48No.
00:28:49No?
00:28:50No.
00:28:51Well, he's coming out anyway.
00:28:52Oh, I'm scared.
00:28:53Deep breath snag, literally.
00:28:54Wooo!

00:29:07Well, he's coming out anyway.
00:29:09I'm scared.

00:29:20Hey, Dijon, come and join me.
00:29:22Hello, hello, hello.
00:29:23Hello, girls.
00:29:24Wow.
00:29:24Hi.
00:29:25How are you doing?
00:29:26Hello.
00:29:27I'm good, thank you.
00:29:27I'm good, thank you.
00:29:28How are you?
00:29:29Fantastic.
00:29:30Have a look at this in front of you.
00:29:32Wow.
00:29:34My name is Dijon.
00:29:35I'm 26 years old.
00:29:36I'm a personal trainer, and I'm from London.
00:29:39I know you see me coming.
00:29:41I would say mostly my clients are actually female.
00:29:43The older the client is, the more bold that they are.
00:29:46Some of them literally said to me, I would love to see you naked.
00:29:48I've made a few wishes come true.
00:29:53I'm definitely competitive.
00:29:54If I want you, then there's no competition.
00:29:57But I've been rejected before.
00:29:58It's not often.
00:29:59I can't remember when it was, but I'm just saying it,
00:30:01just to be humble.
00:30:02I don't remember the last time I was rejected.
00:30:04I'll make you turn on a dime.
00:30:06Me single, me as a boyfriend, is two different Dijons.
00:30:08In a relationship, I'm definitely romantic.
00:30:10Me out of a relationship, it could be three to five business days
00:30:13before you hear back to me.
00:30:16That's what's stopping me from getting in a relationship.
00:30:18I've got a wandering eye, so on Monday, I could like a curvy girl.
00:30:21On Tuesday, I could like a more athletic type.
00:30:24My heart is too big.
00:30:25I've got too much love to give.
00:30:30I definitely think I can fall in love in the villa.
00:30:31And if I do love you and you are the one for me, then there's nobody else.
00:30:34Like I said, I'm working on that wandering eye, so I think I could be all right.
00:30:37Meg has chosen you based on your dating profile alone.
00:30:42Yeah.
00:30:43What do we think of Meg?
00:30:44Yeah, I think she's beautiful.
00:30:46Happy.
00:30:47And Meg, what do you think of him?
00:30:49Yeah, he's not bad to look at at all.
00:30:50He ain't got flip-flops on, which is good.
00:30:52Yeah.
00:30:53So if he had flip-flops, that would have been an absolute no?
00:30:56Yeah, maybe.
00:30:57Okay.
00:30:58Was there anything on the dating profile that you were like, meh?
00:31:00Oh, I love to play.
00:31:02Do you want to explain that?
00:31:03Love to play, work hard, play harder?
00:31:04What kind of play are we talking?
00:31:05I love to play.
00:31:06I like to, you know, have fun.
00:31:07I like to party.
00:31:08So if I was out until 4am, 3am in the morning, I've got work in the morning, I'll make sure
00:31:12I'm there.
00:31:13Okay, work-life balance?
00:31:14Yeah, work-life balance.
00:31:15I think it's good to have balance in life.
00:31:17Okay.
00:31:18Meg, what do you think of that?
00:31:19I don't know what he's doing out partying to that time.
00:31:22That's quite early, no?
00:31:24Depends who you're asking.
00:31:25Depends who you're asking.
00:31:26Is he your type now you've seen him?
00:31:2850-50, yeah.
00:31:30Okay, what does that mean?
00:31:32I don't know.
00:31:33She's cracking a whip.
00:31:35Yeah, it's eyes.
00:31:36I can't really see that far away.
00:31:38Oh, yeah, Meg's an eyes girl.
00:31:39She can't see your eyes properly from here.
00:31:41So maybe you two need to get a bit closer.
00:31:42So you're 50-50 on my eyes?
00:31:43Yeah, I can't see your eyes.
00:31:45Well, Meg, do you want to look deeper into those eyes?
00:31:48Yeah.
00:31:49Off you go.
00:31:50Bring them over.
00:31:52Lovely for me.
00:31:54What do you reckon now you're up close?
00:31:56Yeah, he's got nice eyes.
00:31:58Okay, they're approved.
00:31:59Yeah, they're approved.
00:32:00So it's a 50-50, now what is it?
00:32:02Oh, I don't know you yet.
00:32:04I don't know what you're like.
00:32:05She's keeping her cards close to her chest.
00:32:07Yeah, I'm not saying anything.
00:32:09And we have our second Love Island couple, Meg and Dijon.
00:32:15Sophie, you are next.
00:32:17It's time to meet Harry.
00:32:19Hello, hello.
00:32:21Welcome to the villa.
00:32:23Thank you, Maya.
00:32:25How are we doing?
00:32:27Come on over.
00:32:28I'm here, I'm ready.
00:32:33I'm Harry.
00:32:34I'm 30 years old.
00:32:35I'm a commodities trader and semi-pro footballer from Guildford.
00:32:40I'm definitely enjoying single life at the moment.
00:32:43I was in a relationship for a while.
00:32:44That ended a year ago and I've been having it off ever since.
00:32:49I don't do dating apps.
00:32:53I like to go up to girls in person, in the gym and just say,
00:32:57how you doing?
00:32:58I'm Harry.
00:32:59It works.
00:33:00You might not believe it works, but it does.
00:33:03I think my success rate is pretty good.
00:33:05I've had a football team on the roster before.
00:33:07We're talking 11 aside.
00:33:09I don't know if I have something to gloat about.
00:33:13I'm a hopeless romantic.
00:33:14I'll give you everything I have.
00:33:16I'll give you the muscles on the bed, beach dinners.
00:33:18You can be any of the above.
00:33:19All of them.
00:33:22I'm 30 years old.
00:33:23I've messed around enough.
00:33:24I'm dating with a purpose to find someone to build a life with.
00:33:31In front of you, six gorgeous girls.
00:33:33Perfect.
00:33:34So Sophie's gone for you, Harry.
00:33:35Perfect.
00:33:36I'm delighted with that.
00:33:37You're delighted with that?
00:33:38I'm liking it.
00:33:39I like the red.
00:33:40I like a lady in red for sure.
00:33:41Oh, okay.
00:33:42I see.
00:33:43Is this this room that you were looking for, Sophie?
00:33:45I'm bringing the spice already.
00:33:47Do you know what I mean?
00:33:48Yeah.
00:33:49Sophie was man-marking that heart as well.
00:33:50She didn't want anyone close to her.
00:33:53Based on his profile, did you like everything you saw?
00:33:56Off first glance, yeah.
00:33:58And then as I got to know you, probably, yeah.
00:34:00And just based on appearance now, are you liking what you see?
00:34:03Yes.
00:34:04I'm happy.
00:34:05Yeah.
00:34:06All right.
00:34:07Now, Helena, you were umming and ahhing about Harry's love heart.
00:34:09Do you wish you would have traded now?
00:34:11Who knows?
00:34:12I know.
00:34:13Who knows?
00:34:14I'm giving him a solid contender.
00:34:16Definitely.
00:34:17Okay, Harry, off you go and meet Sophie.
00:34:24Now we have our third Love Island couple, Sophie and Harry.
00:34:31Three more left.
00:34:32I got nervous.
00:34:33I know.
00:34:34You ready to meet your rugby boy?
00:34:35Yes.
00:34:36Ready.
00:34:37Let's bring out Connor.
00:34:40Connor, welcome to the villa.
00:34:42Hello.
00:34:43Hello.
00:34:44How are we getting on?
00:34:45Hello.
00:34:46Come on over.
00:34:47Hello, guys.
00:34:48Hey.
00:34:49How are you?
00:34:50I'm very good.
00:34:51How are you?
00:34:52Good, good.
00:34:53Good.
00:34:54Nice to see you.
00:34:55Nice to see you too.
00:34:56So as you can see, Helena has gone for you.
00:34:57Yeah.
00:34:58How are you going to do it like you?
00:34:59Express yourself.
00:35:00Hi, I'm Connor.
00:35:01I'm 25.
00:35:02I'm a pro rugby player and I'm from Lindbergh.
00:35:06I'm part of the Irish rugby sevens team.
00:35:08I'm obviously training a lot, so it keeps me in shape.
00:35:10Yeah, I get a bit of attention when I'm out as well, you know.
00:35:12We'll keep you moving.
00:35:14Head to your toes.
00:35:15Me and my mom are obviously really close.
00:35:17When I was younger, she was sort of saying like, you know, there's no need to get in a relationship
00:35:20because you'll miss out on things.
00:35:21And I'm happy she did do that because I enjoyed myself.
00:35:24I enjoyed my single life.
00:35:26Express yourself.
00:35:27I've actually been told that I normally go for girls who are quite similar to my mother
00:35:32and personality-wise.
00:35:34People's first impressions of me are I'm a bit arrogant, a bit cocky and a bit of a ladies
00:35:41man and they're not wrong, but it's not a bad thing, is it?
00:35:44Like, my type is definitely someone who's ambitious, a go-getter and a bit of crack as
00:35:48well because I can't be all the crack.
00:35:50All the crack.
00:35:55What are we thinking about Helena?
00:35:57Yeah, obviously I'm surprised because that's not my best line.
00:36:01How would you explain that?
00:36:02So you had loads of good-looking girls in the past?
00:36:05Yeah, yeah, we can say that.
00:36:06I don't want to be too cocky, but yeah.
00:36:09And good tries then on the pitch.
00:36:11Okay, attempts and secures.
00:36:13Fine.
00:36:14And Helena, you were a bit worried because you said you didn't really like a rugby player.
00:36:18I don't know.
00:36:20Now that you've seen Connor, has your opinion changed a bit?
00:36:22Yeah.
00:36:23Are you willing to give him a chance?
00:36:24Yeah, definitely.
00:36:25No, it's changed.
00:36:26I like the cockiness and the confidence-ness of your little quote, but yeah, the struggle
00:36:31bit, I'm not too sure.
00:36:33And what about an Irish accent?
00:36:34Love an Irish accent.
00:36:35Yeah.
00:36:36Okay, well that's good news.
00:36:37Yeah.
00:36:38One big tick, couple of exes.
00:36:39Yeah.
00:36:40We'll see if we can move past them.
00:36:41Yeah, 100%.
00:36:42Okay, Connor, go and meet Helena.
00:36:44We have got our fourth Love Island couple, Helena and Connor.
00:36:45Yay!
00:36:46Yay!
00:36:47Yay!
00:36:48Okay, Alima, how are you feeling?
00:36:49Do you know what?
00:36:50I like the dating profile so far, so I just need to wait and see if we vibe.
00:36:51Have you got an image in your head of what it might look like?
00:36:52Yeah, I've got something pictured, so I just need to wait and find out.
00:37:06Oh my gosh.
00:37:07Yeah.
00:37:08Okay.
00:37:09Fingers crossed.
00:37:10Fingers crossed he matches up to your expectations.
00:37:12Exactly.
00:37:13Let's get Blue out.
00:37:16Here he comes.
00:37:18Ooh.
00:37:19Welcome, Blue.
00:37:20What's happening, Maya?
00:37:21You all right?
00:37:22What's happening?
00:37:23What's happening, girls?
00:37:24Blue name, blue shorts, blue trainers.
00:37:26Blue.
00:37:27Blue by name, blue by nature.
00:37:28Exactly.
00:37:29Love that for you.
00:37:30I feel good.
00:37:32I'm Blue.
00:37:33I'm 26.
00:37:34I'm a construction project manager.
00:37:36I was born in London, but I was raised in Marbella, Spain.
00:37:38So the sun, the pool, the drama.
00:37:40I'm basically built for this, right?
00:37:42Out of 10, I would give myself a 9.5.
00:37:45For it to give a 10, I'd have to have my trousers off.
00:37:48I'm quite open to talking about sex.
00:37:52I love sex.
00:37:53My mum owns a sex shop in Marbella.
00:37:55I don't buy anything from my mum's shop.
00:37:57I get it all given to me for free.
00:37:59I don't really have a type.
00:38:00I would just say big boobs, big bum, naturally pretty.
00:38:03Girls will love me quite quickly.
00:38:06I don't know.
00:38:07I think it's just my charm.
00:38:08If I like a girl, I'm pulling that girl.
00:38:10It's as simple as that.
00:38:11I feel good.
00:38:12If I have to step on toes to get what I want, I'm stepping on toes.
00:38:15That's the game, isn't it?
00:38:16I feel good.
00:38:17I'm here to find love.
00:38:18Just do my thing.
00:38:20I feel good.
00:38:21I feel great.
00:38:22I feel great.
00:38:25So, as you can see, six girls.
00:38:27Aleema has gone for you.
00:38:29How are you feeling about that?
00:38:30Good.
00:38:31Every girl is beautiful here, so...
00:38:33Every girl is beautiful, but Aleema chose you.
00:38:36Yeah.
00:38:37She did actually say she had a vision in her head of what you might look like.
00:38:42Right.
00:38:43Aleema, does he live up to the expectations or...?
00:38:45Yeah, I like what I'm saying.
00:38:46Yeah.
00:38:47I just need to see if we vibe, obviously.
00:38:48Aleema did also say that she's bilingual.
00:38:50Can you speak any other languages?
00:38:51I can.
00:38:52I can speak Spanish.
00:38:53Oh.
00:38:54Okay.
00:38:55Hence the sexy senorita.
00:38:57And Aleema can speak Spanish too.
00:38:59Oh, perfect.
00:39:00Portuguese fluently and then Spanish, I would say probably 80%.
00:39:03That works.
00:39:04Yeah.
00:39:05Do you want to have a little Spanish chat?
00:39:07¿Qué pasa?
00:39:08¿Qué pasa, Aleema?
00:39:09Oh, no.
00:39:10Too shy, too shy.
00:39:11Too shy.
00:39:12We'll practise later on.
00:39:13Do you not speak Spanish?
00:39:14Yeah, we'll practise later on.
00:39:15Do you not speak Spanish?
00:39:16I do.
00:39:17I promise I'll do that.
00:39:18We can work on it.
00:39:19Exactly.
00:39:20We'll practise later on.
00:39:21Yeah, sure.
00:39:22Sounds good to me.
00:39:23Okay, Blue, go and join Aleema.
00:39:24Thank you, Maya.
00:39:28Lovely to meet you.
00:39:29Thank you, too.
00:39:30And we have our fifth Love Island couple, Aleema and Blue.
00:39:39Alright, Megan, it's finally time to meet Tommy.
00:39:41I know.
00:39:42Are you ready?
00:39:43Yeah.
00:39:44Let's bring him out.
00:39:45Bring him out.
00:39:46He's half Italian.
00:39:47He's full of fun.
00:39:48Oi, oi.
00:39:49Let's find out if he's the one.
00:39:51Hello, Tommy.
00:39:52Welcome.
00:39:53Hey, Maya, you alright?
00:39:54Lovely to see you.
00:39:55I'm good, how are you?
00:39:56How's he going?
00:39:57So thrilled, I'm here.
00:39:58You're the only one that did that.
00:40:00You look lovely yourself.
00:40:01Lovely.
00:40:02How are you feeling, Tommy?
00:40:03Yeah, it's a mix of emotions, but I'm absolutely buzzing to be it.
00:40:06Buzzing, confident.
00:40:07He wasn't lying.
00:40:08Now he's buzzing.
00:40:09My name's Tommy.
00:40:10I'm 22.
00:40:11I'm a landscape gardener and I am from Potters Bar.
00:40:16I always back myself when it comes to girls.
00:40:20Yeah, I'm tall, dark, handsome, half Italian.
00:40:22It's quite a stereotype to call an Italian boy a mummy's boy, but it probably is correct.
00:40:28Yeah.
00:40:29Anything that happens in my life, I go to my mum first.
00:40:33She makes my packed lunchbox every day.
00:40:35If I don't think my mum is going to get on with you, it could be a deal breaker.
00:40:39Oh, God.
00:40:40Not to sound too big-headed, but I do get quite a bit of attention from the girls.
00:40:49I want to find someone and do things a bit more meaningful on a deeper level, which I'm
00:40:53not really used to doing.
00:40:54I can fall for someone quite quickly if they do tick the boxes.
00:40:58I do think a few weeks in the villa could probably be enough for me to fall in love.
00:41:04You are our final boy.
00:41:06I'm the final one.
00:41:07And the girls have all picked who they want to be with based on their dating profiles.
00:41:11So, you have got the lovely Megan.
00:41:13How are you, Megan?
00:41:14You all right?
00:41:15How are you?
00:41:20Megan, do you like what you see?
00:41:21I do, yeah.
00:41:22Yeah?
00:41:23And how about you, Tommy?
00:41:24Yeah, no, she's beautiful, yeah.
00:41:26Cute.
00:41:27Okay.
00:41:28What do you like about his profile?
00:41:30To be honest, I wanted to know if you did chat GBT for that bio hour.
00:41:33Uh, hmm.
00:41:34Was it actually?
00:41:35It's a secret.
00:41:36How did you know that?
00:41:37It's a bit obvious.
00:41:38Pretty obvious, yeah.
00:41:39Well, I've got Italian heritage as well, so that kind of drew me in.
00:41:40Have you?
00:41:41Whereabouts?
00:41:42Sicily.
00:41:43Same as me.
00:41:44My family's half Sicilian.
00:41:45No way.
00:41:46Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:41:47We've got to do a little background research, though, because imagine you're cousins.
00:41:48That would be amazing.
00:41:49Oh, God, yeah.
00:41:50Okay, so, Tommy, do you like what you see?
00:41:51Oh, yeah, 100%, yeah.
00:41:52Off you pop.
00:41:53You can go and say hello to Megan.
00:41:54Thank you, mate.
00:41:55You all right?
00:41:56How are you?
00:41:57How are you?
00:41:58How are you?

00:44:56They've split up into groups to discuss their decision.
00:44:59That makes more sense.
00:45:01How are we all feeling?
00:45:03I'm quite happy, you know.
00:45:05I think I quite like him.
00:45:06He's fit.
00:45:07Who are you with?
00:45:08Tommy.
00:45:09Tommy.
00:45:10Stallion, Stallion.
00:45:11Yeah, he's giving like Papa Cheeky.
00:45:12I think you two suit.
00:45:13I think you two have got good vamps.
00:45:15I feel like I'll get on with him quite well.
00:45:18Boys, boys, y'all happy?
00:45:19I'm happy.
00:45:20I'm buzzing, yeah.
00:45:21She is sexy.
00:45:22But yeah, I don't know, we'll see, man.
00:45:24There's a few sorts here, so we just have to get to know him, man.
00:45:27Do you know, I'm not...
00:45:28I don't know, I don't think I'm feeling him.
00:45:30Like, did you guys hear, like, when he came, right?
00:45:32Like, Maya was like, oh, like, how'd you feel?
00:45:35And then he was like, oh, every girl is beautiful.
00:45:37Obviously, which we are.
00:45:38But I just find it so rude.
00:45:39Do you know what I mean?
00:45:40So I'm like, I'm not going to be, like, coupled up with a man that's not going to give the
00:45:43exact same energy.
00:45:44Yeah, absolutely not.
00:45:45What about yourself?
00:45:46You're nice.
00:45:47You're not feeling nice.
00:45:48No!
00:45:49She's not!
00:45:50She's not!
00:45:51I think he's a bit of you.
00:45:52She's not?
00:45:53Yeah, go.
00:45:54She's smart.
00:45:55Oh, no, but it's a start.
00:45:56You think you're happy with your girls?
00:45:58Not my usual, not my usual type of shit.
00:46:00Potentially.
00:46:01I'm happy with my couple, don't get me wrong, but bomb showers.
00:46:04Yeah.
00:46:05Are we with Connor?
00:46:06Yeah, fucking rugby players.
00:46:07They're like a good player.
00:46:08I think he seems sweet, though, for a rugby player.
00:46:09Exactly.
00:46:10Yeah.
00:46:11He's Irish.
00:46:12I think he's attractive and he's Irish.
00:46:13I don't know if he's a bit boring.
00:46:14I literally haven't even had a conversation with him.
00:46:15Right, Shakira, do we even need to ask?
00:46:16Get her in bed!
00:46:17Oh, she's in love.
00:46:18Get her in bed!
00:46:19She's engaged, she is.
00:46:20No, he's, is.
00:46:21Is this the taxi driver?
00:46:22Yeah.
00:46:23Right, Megs, what's going on?
00:46:24No, to be fair, I'm all right.
00:46:25I feel like he's quite calm, like me, which is good.
00:46:27So.
00:46:28Soothe in.
00:46:29Yeah.
00:46:30Yeah.
00:46:31Yeah.
00:46:32Yeah.
00:46:33Yeah.
00:46:34Yeah.
00:46:35Yeah.
00:46:36Yeah.
00:46:37Yeah.
00:46:38Yeah.
00:46:39Soothe in.
00:46:40Yeah.
00:46:41That's the test.
00:46:42We've all done it on types.
00:46:44Yeah, they weren't like our exact type.
00:46:45Exactly.
00:46:46But we've all done it and think...
00:46:47Well, no, it's taking away the physical.
00:46:49They're trying to find what we want on paper, out of a man, and take the physical attraction away.
00:46:52And actually, that might not be the case.
00:46:54Exactly.
00:47:00Connor's coupled up with Helena, who works his cabin crew.
00:47:03I said to Helena, I used to work for an airline.
00:47:06She said, virgin.
00:47:07I said, how dare you?
00:47:08I have a child.
00:47:09Yeah.
00:47:10It was so funny because, like, they said, oh, what's like a really big ick for you?
00:47:15And I said...
00:47:16No way you said rugby.
00:47:18What?
00:47:19I said rugby boys.
00:47:22Why?
00:47:23I don't know.
00:47:24It just gives me the ick.
00:47:25So, how did you end up with me?
00:47:26I don't know.
00:47:27What are you, like, looking for, like, in terms of, like, looking for a bit of crack?
00:47:32Are you looking for a boyfriend?
00:47:33A bit of crack?
00:47:34Looking for a husband?
00:47:35What's a bit of crack?
00:47:36Bit of crack?
00:47:37Bit of fun.
00:47:38Bit of fun, like, yeah.
00:47:39Erm...
00:47:40No, I'm 29 now.
00:47:41So, I think I definitely am looking to...
00:47:42I've actually never been in a relationship.
00:47:43Have you not?
00:47:44No.
00:47:45What?
00:47:46Never had a boyfriend.
00:47:47Why?
00:47:48Is it you, or...?
00:47:49Why?
00:47:50I think...
00:47:51Surely you get people, like, approaching yourself.
00:47:53Yeah, but I feel like now that I'm a bit older, I can't be, like, arsed or pissing about
00:48:00going from, like, proper relationship unless, like, I think I'm going to marry that person.
00:48:04Yeah.
00:48:05I'm not going to be in a relationship with them.
00:48:06Do you know what I mean?
00:48:07Because I just feel like a waste of time.
00:48:08Yeah.
00:48:09To be honest, yeah.
00:48:10Like, I've only had one girlfriend.
00:48:12How long was that?
00:48:13I'd say, like, eight weeks.
00:48:16I know, I know.
00:48:21How did it last eight weeks?
00:48:22Well, we were seeing each other for a while, but, like, she was only my girlfriend for eight
00:48:25weeks, and I think it's been two years since then.
00:48:28And then, like, I've grown a lot, doing a bit.
00:48:30So, yeah, I feel like I'm kind of a bit ready now.
00:48:33Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:48:34So...
00:48:35Ready for a nine-week relationship.
00:48:37What would you normally go for, like, looks-wise?
00:48:39I'm just a massive personality person.
00:48:41Yeah?
00:48:42Like, four out of ten that can make you laugh.
00:48:44I'm not saying that you were four out of ten.
00:48:47Yeah, I hope not.
00:48:48I wouldn't usually, like, go for blondes, like...
00:48:50Blondes?
00:48:51Yeah.
00:48:52Really?
00:48:53Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:48:54But, like...
00:48:55Oh, nice.
00:48:56He probably walked in before.
00:48:57Oh, he walked in, I was like, fuck.
00:48:58The only one.
00:48:59The only one.
00:49:00The only one.
00:49:01Nah, but again, like, I wouldn't...
00:49:03I'd just fuck off with him, shall I?
00:49:05After actually speaking to Connor, he did actually surprise me.
00:49:07He's, um...
00:49:08I thought he was going to be boring, but he isn't.
00:49:10The only problem is, he's actually blondes aren't his type, so, yeah, fuck me.
00:49:13I'm the only blonde in here.
00:49:15Harry's coupled up with Sophie, who's a motivational speaker.
00:49:19I was going to go to one of Sophie's motivational talks.
00:49:23But in the end, I couldn't be arsed.
00:49:25How are you?
00:49:26Yeah, I feel good.
00:49:27How are you doing?
00:49:28I'm good, thank you.
00:49:29Just settling in.
00:49:30Yeah?
00:49:31Do you know what?
00:49:32I've actually felt bad for the boys.
00:49:33Because you guys are just walking and you've met your fate.
00:49:36Yeah.
00:49:37Already.
00:49:38I liked it.
00:49:39Did you?
00:49:40Yeah, I feel like you look good.
00:49:41I like a lady in red, so...
00:49:43Okay.
00:49:44I chose you because I'm 29.
00:49:46Yeah.
00:49:47And so I'm dating for, like, marriage.
00:49:49Serious.
00:49:50Agreed.
00:49:51You know, and I think that's why when I read yours, your love heart, it said, like,
00:49:55either wild card or marriage.
00:49:57And I was like, oh, okay.
00:49:58Yeah.
00:49:59So I need to go off what I'm here for.
00:50:00Mm-hmm.
00:50:01But obviously, like, when the girls asked me, I said, I don't know if it's me, I don't
00:50:05know, because I've not got your vibe.
00:50:07So you...
00:50:08Do you think, like, the way I look, you're like, he's not a husband?
00:50:11I don't think it's that.
00:50:12No.
00:50:13I think it's more...
00:50:14When I see someone as a husband, it's in your traits of your character.
00:50:17Right.
00:50:18For me, uh, intimacy and, like, dating is quite, like, out of my comfort zone.
00:50:25Okay.
00:50:26Interesting.
00:50:27Um, but when I, like, I'm not dating, I'm usually, I just stay celibate.
00:50:32So how long have you been single?
00:50:34I've only had one boyfriend.
00:50:35Have you?
00:50:36And then when I was 22, I was in a fire accident.
00:50:39Okay.
00:50:40I'm sorry to hear that.
00:50:41It made me the woman that I am.
00:50:43You look great as well.
00:50:45You do look good.
00:50:46And it made me learn so much about life and interactions with people and how to be better.
00:50:55Because I believe that to date people, you also need to be in a good place in yourself, within yourself.
00:51:00Yeah.
00:51:01So that's why I think in my early 20s, I wasn't ready to date because I didn't feel good in myself.
00:51:04I had a lot of self-work to do.
00:51:06I had a lot of building my own confidence.
00:51:08Now I'm a motivational speaker.
00:51:10Are you?
00:51:11And I'm an author.
00:51:12Wow.
00:51:13So...
00:51:14I love reading.
00:51:15Oh, do you?
00:51:16Every night, yeah.
00:51:17Oh, that's so good.
00:51:18Me too.
00:51:19I've had a bit of one-on-one time with Sophie.
00:51:22She seems like a lovely girl, extremely mature, got her head screwed on.
00:51:26Maybe a little bit much for me.
00:51:28How are you feeling about life?
00:51:30What are you thinking?
00:51:31What's on your mind?
00:51:32Um...
00:51:33I'll be honest, on paper, you're not my type.
00:51:37Mm-hmm.
00:51:38Of course.
00:51:39I'm open to get to me.
00:51:40Yeah.
00:51:41Definitely.
00:51:42It's literally the first day.
00:51:43Yeah.
00:51:44We should be, like, hosed off.
00:51:45And I think it's just easier if, like, we just have that challenge.
00:51:48Yeah, yeah.
00:51:49For sure.
00:51:50No wasting anyone's time.
00:51:51Yeah, yeah.
00:51:52I mean, like, the thing as well, it was just, like, when you walked in and then Maya was
00:51:55like, oh, how are you feeling?
00:51:56She's like, oh, they're all beautiful.
00:51:57And then I'm just like...
00:51:58I didn't mean to say that.
00:51:59Honestly, I got a little bit too...
00:52:00When you called up with a man, I don't need another woman to tell them that I'm beautiful,
00:52:03so I mean, like, they should...
00:52:04Yeah, no, of course.
00:52:05I didn't mean it in that way at all.
00:52:06But at the same time, I get exactly what you meant.
00:52:07I meant to say...
00:52:08You just...
00:52:09You wanted to compliment everyone, and I get it.
00:52:10Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:52:11I think it's not the best of your words.
00:52:12Yeah, no, I'm not...
00:52:13But honestly, I know you've got good intentions.
00:52:14You got that, right?
00:52:15Yeah, yeah, no, it's fine.
00:52:16Yeah.
00:52:17Yeah, Sam.
00:52:18Nice chat.
00:52:19Yeah, it's been a nice chat.
00:52:20I think I've enjoyed...
00:52:21Yeah, nice chat.
00:52:22Well, I'll see you later on then if you're about.
00:52:25From the conversation that I've had with Blue, I'm going to be completely honest.
00:52:28I'm still not feeling it.
00:52:29We've both managed to establish the fact that we are not each other's type.
00:52:33Right, firstly, like, what's your type on paper?
00:52:35Like, obviously, we're all in here.
00:52:36You've got to get to know everyone.
00:52:38I usually go for brunettes.
00:52:40Nice body, nice bum.
00:52:43Pious nanny is really important because you could be really good looking
00:52:46and then the energy don't match, do you know what I mean?
00:52:48So, I don't know, just someone who I think, you know, I can bring home to my family
00:52:52and my mum were really, like...
00:52:55No, I'm softer at heart, like, I know I look like a bit of a geezer,
00:52:58but a bit softer, big dad.
00:53:00Was I what you were expecting?
00:53:02No.
00:53:03I don't know what I was expecting, to be honest.
00:53:05I can't believe you're, like, actually, like, quarter Sicilian or whatever you are.
00:53:07Yeah.
00:53:08My nan's watching this, my nonna, she's going to be buzzing.
00:53:10That's so cute.
00:53:11Yeah, she'll be buzzing.
00:53:12What's your type?
00:53:13My type?
00:53:14Yeah.
00:53:15I like tall, muscly, good smile, but charming, witty, not arrogant, confident.
00:53:21Wow.
00:53:22That's quite a lot.
00:53:23You've got to live up to this.
00:53:24You've got to scroll.
00:53:25I know.
00:53:26Any more before I...?
00:53:27No, that's basically it, just someone who can make me giggle.
00:53:30Yeah.
00:53:31Come on there, what about you, Benny Booth?
00:53:33Right, looks, under, like, five foot six, nice teeth, cute smile, nice eyes.
00:53:38Ambitious, goals that she wants to achieve in her life.
00:53:42Just someone that's career driven, that's a big thing for me.
00:53:44Meg made some comments earlier, and as they walked to the big sofa, Dijon's wondering,
00:53:51what's the deal?
00:53:52I'll tell you what the deal is, mate.
00:53:53Buy 16 orange cushions, get a 17 free.
00:53:56Right.
00:53:57Are you happy I chose you?
00:53:59Erm...
00:54:00I'm not sure.
00:54:01Okay.
00:54:02Why?
00:54:03I was happy when I first walked in.
00:54:06Yeah.
00:54:07But obviously I think that you're beautiful.
00:54:09I think that you're funny and stuff, so yeah, you intrigue me, but it was just your comment,
00:54:12you know, when you said about the 50-50.
00:54:14Okay.
00:54:15So, when, obviously, I read your little board thing.
00:54:17Yeah.
00:54:18I love to play hard, and then you're like, yeah, you know, party until 3-4am in the
00:54:23morning, and I thought, and he still wants that, he don't want to settle down.
00:54:27Oh.
00:54:28Look, I like to party, don't get me wrong, I'm in that club till the end, I will do the
00:54:31same.
00:54:32Yeah.
00:54:33That was the only thing, so don't let that...
00:54:34So that was the 50-50?
00:54:35Yeah.
00:54:36The partying?
00:54:37That was the 50-50.
00:54:38So take away the partying, then what then?
00:54:39Yeah, you can be 100, it's fine.
00:54:41You can be 110 if it makes you better.
00:54:42Okay, okay, okay.
00:54:43It's fine.
00:54:44Now I'm happy, now I'm happy.
00:54:45Do you feel like there's, like, one of the girls that you could be, like, rather be
00:54:49with her?
00:54:50No, I'm happy.
00:54:51Oh, good.
00:54:52Generally, I'm happy.
00:54:53Good.
00:54:54I think, like, when I saw that you was next to my name, like, made me smile.
00:54:57Was you happy?
00:54:58Okay, good.
00:54:59Yeah, I was happy.
00:55:00But then you said the 50-50 thing, and I was like...
00:55:01No, don't be taken back by that.
00:55:02It's just the first impression of you, like, I don't get to see you.
00:55:05I don't get to see what you look like, it's just that board with a little line.
00:55:08Like, can you imagine what my line would be?
00:55:10So why did you pick it, then?
00:55:11I don't know.
00:55:12Maybe your name?
00:55:13I just thought...
00:55:16I've got to say it right now.
00:55:17Wait, how...
00:55:18Yeah, say it.
00:55:19Dajon.
00:55:20It's not bad, but, like, say it more, like, flowy, like...
00:55:21Right, you say it?
00:55:22Dajon.
00:55:23Dajon.
00:55:24Yeah, there you go.
00:55:25You say it really sexy.
00:55:26I just say it like...
00:55:27Dajon.
00:55:28Dajon.
00:55:29Yeah, Dajon.
00:55:30Okay, got it.
00:55:31After the conversation with Meg, I'm feeling definitely more positive.
00:55:34It was good.
00:55:35Like, I've always said my type is a beautiful girl on the outside and a beautiful girl on the inside.
00:55:39So, yeah, I'm excited for what's to come.
00:55:41So, what about you?
00:55:42Is there anybody else that you'd rather be a couple that way?
00:55:45No.
00:55:46No?
00:55:47No.
00:55:48I'm happy with my choice.
00:55:50I've been looking at you.
00:55:51It's the Islanders' first night.
00:55:52They're so lucky.
00:55:53To help them fall in love, they've got eight weeks and the backing of Maya Jama.
00:56:08To help me fall in love, all I ever had was eight WKDs and a bottle of Jameson.
00:56:13Who are we chatting to?
00:56:14I think I need to call Tommy finally.
00:56:15We have not actually had a one-on-one time.
00:56:16Yeah, I haven't had a conversation with Ben yet properly.
00:56:17This is the first time I'm spending the night with a girl in the bed.
00:56:18Oh, seriously?
00:56:19Yeah?
00:56:20Because I've never really been in a proper relationship, have I?
00:56:21Megan's going to be the first.
00:56:22Does she know?
00:56:23Does she know?
00:56:24No.
00:56:25I don't think I'll tell her.
00:56:26It might scare her.
00:56:27I got to speak with Harry, and I was really open and honest.
00:56:30And he's really nice, you know?
00:56:31Yeah.
00:56:32Even, uh, Helena, I know you're interested, but, like, it would be so nice if you've got
00:56:37to know me and got to know you.
00:56:38I don't want you to feel like I'm, like, no.
00:56:41No, I respect that massively.
00:56:42But then I felt crazy.
00:56:43I'm feeling like I'm on fire.
00:56:44Hey, lads, what were you saying, then?
00:56:45First night in the villa.
00:56:46Ready?
00:56:47You just want to kiss Shakira, bro.
00:56:48Oh!
00:56:49Oh!
00:56:50Oh!
00:56:51Oh!
00:56:52Oh!
00:56:53Oh!
00:56:54Oh!
00:56:55Oh!
00:56:56Oh!
00:56:57Oh!
00:56:58Oh!
00:56:59Oh!
00:57:00Oh!
00:57:01Oh!
00:57:02Oh!
00:57:03Oh!
00:57:04Oh!
00:57:05Oh!
00:57:06Oh!
00:57:07Oh!
00:57:08Oh!
00:57:09Oh!
00:57:10Oh!
00:57:11In suicide.
00:57:12Oh!
00:57:25Well, cheers!
00:57:27To someone I love!
00:57:29To the someone I live!
00:57:31Someone I love!
00:57:36Shakira and taxi driver Ben are heading to the den.
00:57:38Shakira wanted to go to the fire pit but Ben said, sorry love, I don't go south for the swimming pool.
00:57:43What are you giggling at? You. Why? Because you're hard work.
00:57:47I'm hard work? Yeah. But I'm a hard work. I'm joking.
00:57:50I feel like you could be. I feel like you could definitely be hard work.
00:57:56I'm not saying that's a bad thing. I didn't say I didn't like hard work. I'm hard work.
00:58:01I haven't spoke to anyone in two and a half months. That's a fact.
00:58:05So my game is probably a little bit rusty. You've got to bear with me.
00:58:09Nah, it has been a while. What is your game? Go on, what's like? I've got no game.
00:58:12You've got no game? I've got no game. No riz. No riz at all.
00:58:17That's why I'm... Don't give me the eyebrow, like, getting all sassy.
00:58:20But you trying to find the love for your life then? Absolutely.
00:58:24I don't date for the sake of it. Yeah. Like, I'd rather just be single. Yeah.
00:58:30Like, if I'm dating, it's someone I genuinely see a future with.
00:58:33I'm very picky. Little things can put me off. Like what?
00:58:36Personality traits. You're too much. Like, if you're too... OK.
00:58:39Do you know what I mean? Yeah, that's me all over.
00:58:41Nah, it's not you all over. It is. You're a feisty one.
00:58:44Yeah, I am. I don't know if you can handle that, though.
00:58:46I'm all right at handling it. But putting up with it is another thing.
00:58:50Megan's coupled up with landscape gardener Tommy. I booked a landscaper last week.
00:58:56He walked in, pulled down my trousers and waxed my knackers.
00:59:00Turns out I booked a manscaper.
00:59:02Do you come into London a lot? Yeah. Yeah? Yeah, for, like, auditions and stuff.
00:59:06Oh, what, for your musical theatre? Do you do shows in London?
00:59:08No, I did, like, a panto at Christmas and stuff.
00:59:10Well, get a ticket in front row. Would you?
00:59:12Are you, like, the main character? Are you, like, a dancer or what?
00:59:14Er, no, I was one of the ugly sisters in Cinderella at Christmas, yeah.
00:59:17But they were, like, bougie ugly sisters, you know what I mean?
00:59:20Like, so I got away with it. Like, fit ugly sisters, yeah.
00:59:21Yeah, fit, like, Kardashian ugly sisters, like.
00:59:23Oh, I love that. I reckon I'll be decent in a panto.
00:59:25I've done A-level drama. Did you?
00:59:27I've done GCSE drama and A-level drama. Right, and how was that?
00:59:31Yeah, I'm a pretty good actor, I think. I see that a bit.
00:59:33I always wanted to, like, do acting.
00:59:35That was always, like, what I wanted to do, like, a childhood dream and that.
00:59:38You know, I sort of, like, my family's very working class.
00:59:39Do a trade, do this, do that. Yeah.
00:59:41So, like, my brother's a plumber.
00:59:43And then I sort of tried a few things, went to uni, dropped out.
00:59:46Wasn't an estate agent for two years. Didn't like that.
00:59:49I've always lived, you know, at home with my mum.
00:59:51I live in, like, a little box room, like, single bed.
00:59:53Single bed? Single bed.
00:59:55What are your sheets like?
00:59:56What do you mean?
00:59:57Like, have you got, like... That's a bit of a weird question.
00:59:59What are my sheets like?
01:00:00No, but, like, you know the boys that, like, still live at home,
01:00:02have, like, New York plastered all over their bedrooms, though?
01:00:05No, my brother's got that.
01:00:06Has he? Unless he's changed.
01:00:07What have you got? He used to have...
01:00:08Spiderman? No, I've just got...
01:00:09Oh, God.
01:00:12But, yeah, no, my room's quite cosy.
01:00:14Are you happy I picked you, then?
01:00:15Yeah, buzz it.
01:00:16I was, no, to be completely honest,
01:00:18if I had the choice, everyone there, I would have 100% picked you.
01:00:22Really?
01:00:23It's not my type.
01:00:24Mm.
01:00:25Like, to a T.
01:00:26If I saw Megan on a night out, I'd definitely 100% fancy her straight away,
01:00:29so she is definitely my type.
01:00:31But, obviously, it is very early days,
01:00:33so we're just going to have to wait and see.
01:00:35Meg's coupled up with Dijon, who's a personal trainer this morning.
01:00:38Dijon asked me where I live and if I had any birthmarks.
01:00:41I mean, that is one very personal trainer.
01:00:44If anything, too personal.
01:00:46You OK?
01:00:47How are you, my love?
01:00:48Good, how are you?
01:00:49Yeah, I'm good.
01:00:50Good.
01:00:51You sure?
01:00:52Why do you, like...
01:00:53You just keep smiling.
01:00:54You're just...
01:00:55I was, like, looking at you.
01:00:56You made me smile.
01:00:57Aw, thank you.
01:00:58You want me to be happy?
01:00:59Yeah, that's good.
01:01:00Good energy.
01:01:01You happy?
01:01:02Yeah.
01:01:03Yeah, I'm happy.
01:01:04I think, like, more than happy, then, like, I don't think any of the others,
01:01:07I would be like, yeah, I want to couple up with you.
01:01:10Like...
01:01:11What would you say is your type?
01:01:12I go for, like, nice eyes, nice smile, someone that's mature as well,
01:01:15and, like, a family man.
01:01:16Yeah.
01:01:17I don't want, like, no immature, and I don't want to be his mum.
01:01:20I hear that.
01:01:21Do I not need to be your mum?
01:01:23No, you don't need to be my mum.
01:01:24Are you a mummy's boy?
01:01:25No.
01:01:26Perfect.
01:01:27There we go, then.
01:01:28So, yeah, are you going to...?
01:01:29I love my mum, though.
01:01:30I love my mum.
01:01:31Don't worry.
01:01:32We all love our mums.
01:01:33I love my mum, though.
01:01:34No, there's loving your mum and there's being,
01:01:35Mummy, mummy, mummy.
01:01:36Like, no.
01:01:37No, I'll say that I'm very independent.
01:01:38Same.
01:01:40When I was, like, 15, I moved away from home, so...
01:01:42Same.
01:01:43When I was, like, 15, I moved out of my mum's and lived with my nan.
01:01:45This is really weird, you know, like...
01:01:47Why?
01:01:48Are you close to your nan?
01:01:49Yeah, nan's are the best.
01:01:50Yeah.
01:01:51That's so crazy, you know.
01:01:52I know.
01:01:53Like, I'm really close, like...
01:01:54That's really weird.
01:01:55...on my arm.
01:01:56Got a tattoo on my nan.
01:01:57Stop.
01:01:58I'm allergic to tattoos.
01:01:59I know.
01:02:00This evening, I've been getting to know Meg a little bit better.
01:02:04I think she's a wonderful girl.
01:02:06Beautiful on the outside, beautiful on the inside,
01:02:08having so many similar interests, similar values.
01:02:12She's really close to her nan.
01:02:13She lives with her nan.
01:02:14My nan is, like, my everything.
01:02:16And it's early days, but, you know,
01:02:18you can only go with how you're feeling,
01:02:19and how I'm feeling right now with Meg is...
01:02:22It's feeling like it's meant to be.
01:02:24There's tension in the air.
01:02:30There's a storm cloud on the horizon.
01:02:33And by the looks of it,
01:02:35there's a flute in the fire pit.
01:02:39It can only mean one thing.
01:02:41Maya Jama's back,
01:02:43and she's got a twist in store.
01:02:46Yeah, we're ready for a war.
01:02:48The power is taking over.
01:02:52Need the glory coming back for more.
01:02:55Oh, we got this.
01:02:59Watch and see.
01:03:09Oh, who is that?
01:03:12Oh, shit.
01:03:15Good evening, Islanders.
01:03:17Hey.
01:03:18Hello.
01:03:20Could you all gather at the fire pit, please?
01:03:22Hello.
01:03:23Oh, my God.
01:03:24She looked fucking large.
01:03:29Do or die.
01:03:32We'll be victorious.
01:03:34We'll be victorious.
01:03:37We'll be victorious.
01:03:39We'll be victorious.
01:03:40We'll be victorious.
01:03:42We'll be victorious.
01:03:43We'll be victorious.
01:03:45We'll be victorious.
01:03:46So how was your first day in the Villa been?
01:03:47It's been good.
01:03:48Good.
01:04:02Yeah.
01:04:03Helen, are you into rugby boys yet?
01:04:04Well, he told me he didn't like blondes.
01:04:05I didn't go for blondes.
01:04:06so it doesn't really go for blondes, so...
01:04:11True.
01:04:12Megan does Tommy's personality match his profile.
01:04:14He's lovely, yeah.
01:04:15He's nice.
01:04:16And, Meg. Hello.
01:04:18Any movement on 50-50?
01:04:20Wow, we've gone to 100. I had to change the 50-50.
01:04:23I said before, coming in, my type is someone who's beautiful
01:04:26on the outside and inside, and, yeah, she ticks both boxes.
01:04:29Shakira and Ben, how are you guys getting on?
01:04:31Go on.
01:04:33Give her a couple more dates.
01:04:36We're in limbo.
01:04:37We are.
01:04:38Are you just doing that to flirt?
01:04:39No, no, no. Right, yeah, maybe. I don't know.
01:04:42Oh, my goodness.
01:04:43It's a love-hate relationship.
01:04:44This is confusing already.
01:04:45Yeah, it's very confusing.
01:04:46OK, but do you fancy each other?
01:04:47Yeah.
01:04:48Yeah.
01:04:49All right, good start.
01:04:50Yeah, it is.
01:04:52Well, as you know, this is Love Island,
01:04:55and I promise twists and turns.
01:04:57Oh, my God.

01:05:55I work in Las Vegas as a pool cabana server.
01:05:57Let's go!
01:05:58I'm tired of American boys.
01:06:00I've flown all this way to find love.
01:06:03Maybe I am just what these British guys are missing.
01:06:05Woo!
01:06:06Are you ready for battle?

01:06:38So, how are you doing, Tony?
01:06:39I'm good.
01:06:40Happy to be here.
01:06:41You are our first American islander ever.
01:06:42I'm a lucky girl.
01:06:43Aren't I?
01:06:44Yeah.
01:06:45Well, as you can see, there are six gorgeous couples in front of you.
01:06:48Earlier today, the girls chose to couple up with the boys based on their dating profiles
01:06:53alone.
01:06:54You now have a very big decision to make.
01:06:56Interesting.
01:06:57Fuck.
01:06:58You're going to have to steal a boy of your choice.
01:07:00We have...
01:07:01Tommy.
01:07:02Blue.
01:07:03Connor.
01:07:04Harry.
01:07:05Dajon.
01:07:06And Ben.
01:07:07So, who are you going to pick?
01:07:10Just like that?
01:07:11Oh my God.
01:07:12Oh my God.
01:07:13You're going to have to steal a boy of your choice.
01:07:16We have...
01:07:17Tommy.
01:07:18Blue.
01:07:19Connor.
01:07:20Harry.
01:07:21Dajon.
01:07:22And Ben.
01:07:23So, who are you going to pick?
01:07:26Just like that?
01:07:27Oh my God.
01:07:28Oh my God.
01:07:29Ben?
01:07:52Ok Ben.
01:07:54Come and stand next to Toni.
01:07:56How you doing?
01:07:58How are you doing? Hi, babe. You OK? I'm all right.
01:08:13Shakira, UNL single, please stand up.
01:08:20Better run, better run, better run now
01:08:23Better run, better run, better run now
01:08:26Shakira, the good news is you're not being dumped tonight.
01:08:30Fuck.
01:08:39But you could be tomorrow night.
01:08:49Shakira, you now have 24 hours to find a connection with one of the boys in the villa.
01:08:54If one of them decides to couple up with you, then you are safe.
01:08:59And one of the other girls will be dumped in your place.
01:09:04Shut down, buddy, honey
01:09:07Sound off, get it, want it
01:09:09I'm now for quitting
01:09:13As Tony has stolen Ben, they cannot be broken up.
01:09:19And if none of the boys want a recouple with you, sadly, it will be you that's going home.
01:09:24Somebody's gonna haunt you down
01:09:28Somebody's gonna haunt you down
01:09:33You know that somebody's gonna haunt you down
01:09:39Boys, are you happy in your couple?
01:09:42Or could you be happier?
01:09:44It's time to find out who's here for the real reasons.
01:09:47Who's willing to take risks to find the one?
01:09:50Or who's just playing it safe?
01:09:52And girls, I suggest you keep your boys very close.
01:09:56I'll see you very soon.
01:09:58Take care. Bye.
01:09:59Bye.
01:10:15You gotta make sure you're back here for the next scorching hot bit of Love Island at 9 tomorrow.
