Will turns Layla down after their kiss
Will was in full-on backtracking mode after sharing a kiss with Layla the previous night.
The farmer soon bitterly regretted the steamy smooch and bed cuddles as they made him realise how much he liked Jessie Wynter.
But Love Island fans were left shaking their heads when Will, 23, claimed he was a ‘one girl type of man’ when speaking with Layla.
Fans of the show were quick to dismiss his comment while reminding the ‘contradictory’ farmer that he has Jessie ‘back home.’
He later confided in Casey: ‘If you have told me, three days ago, that I would kiss other girls in Casa Amor, I would’ve said “Nahhhh”.
‘I’m just so disappointed in myself, I have really fallen with Jessie so I’m going to have a conversation with Layla tonight,’ Will continued.
He said: ‘I do think I am falling in love with Jessie, I know I kissed Layla but it’s nothing on Jessie. I do feel bad that I kissed her.
‘I do feel like I am falling for Jessie and everything that happened has made me realise that.’
Back at home: Viewers of the ITV show have already seen Will share a sneaky kiss with the newcomer but later go on to admit ‘that he loves’ Jessie (pictured)
Tanya falls under Martin’s spell
Oh dear: Ahead of the recoupling Love Island fans were left fearing for Shaq Muhammad’s reaction after Tayna Manhenga was seen sharing a kiss with Martin Akinola on Wednesday
Drama: At the end of Wednesday’s episode the student could be seen cosying up to her new man in bed while Thursday night’s preview cut to Shaq’s face
Meanwhile, fans were left fearing for Shaq Muhammad after Tayna Manhenga was seen sharing a kiss with Martin Akinola.
At the end of Wednesday’s episode the student, 22, could be seen cosying up to her new man in bed after flirting with him for days in Casa Amor, telling him she ‘would be all over him’ if it wasn’t for Shaq.
Meanwhile, Shaq has been sleeping outside on the day beds after declaring his love to the beauty.
The contestants are set to return to the main villa in the coming days, with or without a new partner, as they get the choice to ‘Stick or Twist.’
Fans of the show joked that producers should have ‘an ambulance ready’ as Shaq will ‘have a heart attack’ if his current partner Tanya arrives back with a new man.
Kai kisses Sanam
There’s a new love triangle in the Love Island villa after Sanam Harrinanan locked lips with both Kai and Casey O’Gorman.
Kai spoke to Sanam on the daybeds and discussed her kiss with Casey the night before.
He said: ‘I heard you guys had a kiss… I thought you’d have been in his bed?’
Sanam said: ‘No, no. A kiss doesn’t mean anything right now.’
Kai asked: ‘I think kisses are quite meaningful… are you trying to get a kiss?’
When Sanam said yes, he said: ‘You can have a kiss if you want a kiss, you can compare and see who’s a better kisser.’
They both leaned in and shared a smooch, with Sanam rating Kai as better than Casey.
He joked: ‘Better chat, better kisser.’
In the Beach Hut he said: ‘I’d be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy it. I do really like Liv but then Sanam came in and she’s been really flirty. I’m in a really tough situation.’
Olivia admits her eyes are now open
Love life: Olivia Hawkins admitted her eyes are now open after Casa Amor’s Martin Akinola told her he doesn’t think Kai Fagan is that interested in her on Wednesday’s Love Island
Olivia Hawkins admitted her eyes are now open after Casa Amor’s Martin told her he doesn’t think Kai is that interested in her.
The ring girl, 27, and PE teacher Kai, 24, had formed an unlikely couple in the villa and upon hearing how their romance was being perceived by newcomer Martin, she has been forced to reevaluate things.
Olivia has already enjoyed a passionate kiss with Maxwell Samuda, but was surprised to hear Kai might not be as into her as she thinks.
Speaking to Martin about her connection with Maxwell, she said: ‘He’s nice, he’s very attractive. As soon as he came in I thought, “Ok, he’s a bit of me”.’
Martin replied: ‘I don’t know Kai, I have no problems against him, but I feel like you’re not even his number one or number two nor three even…’
Olivia asked: ‘You think I’m not even his number three?’
Martin said: ‘Honestly I don’t think so. Even after Tanyel he was with Samie. He coupled up with Samie first, not you.’
Olivia replied: ‘So I’m the fourth choice. it’s interesting maybe if there is someone in the villa that’s his type, will he go for it?
Not holding back, Martin told her: ‘That’s just my personal opinion, I could be wrong. But that’s what I think.’
Olivia continued: ‘That’s so interesting… I’m glad that I’m giving Maxwell the time of the day. You’ve made me open my eyes open a bit.’
