LOVE ISLAND TONIGHT: FRIDAY 03 FEBRUARY 2023

SHAQ AND TANYA TALK

Catching up after the kissing game, Shaq tells Tanya how he’s feeling: “I get it’s a game but I felt like you thought winning the challenge was more important than respecting me.”

Tanya explains: “I just want to understand where this is coming from, because I don’t understand, you’re all mine and I’m all yours. I only want you, I don’t care about anyone else. I understand why you felt the way you did but it was not my intention to make you feel that way, I’m sorry for not understanding you earlier, I get it now.”

As they continue to talk Shaq asks: “Are we on the same page?” Tanya replies: “We are, I’m just stubborn… so it takes a minute.” Will Tanya stick to being stubborn or do they kiss and make up?

TOM AND SAMIE GET FLIRTY

Elsewhere in the garden, Tom and Samie have a flirty conversation. As the banter continues back and forth the pair get closer, Tom says: “You look really nice, proper nice.”

Tom asks: “What do you think of me?” Samie says: “Yeah, you’re nice, you make me laugh.” Keen to know where he stands, Tom asks: “Where’s your head at?”Samie teasingly asks: “Who do I like? Erm, you and that’s all you need to know really, you’re kind of up there.”

Tom laughs: "’Kind of up there’, what do you mean ‘kind of’? I’m very attracted to you, I do want to see if there's something deeper than an attraction. I’ll be straight up, I do want to see if there's anything with me and you.” What will Samie make of Tom’s admission?

KAI AND OLIVIA GET COSY

Kai and Olivia head to the terrace for some alone time. Talk soon turns to the kissing challenge as Olivia says: “I was nervous to kiss you in the challenge.”

Kai replies: “Were you? I actually didn’t want you to kiss me in the challenge.” Olivia asks: “Why?” Kai says: “I’d prefer to save it for a proper kiss.”

Olivia questions: “What, you want to kiss me out of a challenge?” Kai replies: “Yeah I want to kiss you out of a challenge…” But is now the time?

CASEY GETS HIS CHANCE TO MAKE BREAKFAST FOR LANA

In the morning, Casey wins the race to make breakfast for Lana. He heads over to the kitchen and with some assistance from Will bids to win Lana over with his culinary skills.

As he presents Lana with her breakfast Casey says: “I made it into a smiley face to summarise our last few days because I can’t stop smiling when I’m with you.” As Lana and Casey enjoy an al fresco morning date, Ron looks on and says: “I hope he’s done the avocado right, he’s even added salmon on there, not sure she’s a fan of salmon...”

With both boys vying for her attention, where does Lana’s interest lie?

SAMIE HAS SOMETHING TO GET OFF HER CHEST

Later that day Lana catches up with Samie and Tanya as she contemplates her feelings for Ron and Casey, she says: “I’m at completely different stages with Casey and Ron, it’s hard to throw that away but then am I being…?”

Samie says of Ron: “Lana, he’s a flirt man, he’s a proper flirt.” Tanya adds: “Lana, no.” Lana asks: “Why, what are you telling me?” Samie says of Ron: “He’s trying to keep everyone happy.” Lana asks Samie: “Is he still trying to keep options with you?” What has Ron said to Samie and how will Lana take it?

MAYA RETURNS TO THE VILLA

As night falls in the Villa the Islanders are in for a big surprise as host Maya Jama makes an epic return. Interrupting their night, Maya walks in without warning and says: “Hello lovelies! Surprise, did you miss me?”

Kai gasps: “Maya Jama!” Leaving the Islanders stunned with what could be about to happen, Maya says: “Can you please all gather by the fire pit.”

As the Islanders sit before her, Maya says: “I’m sure you’re all wondering why I’m here… you have definitely been a busy bunch.” Maya goes on to tell the Islanders: “Well, I’ve got some very important news.” But what news is Maya about to break to the Villa?

Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
