LOVE ISLAND TONIGHT: THURSDAY 09 FEBRUARY 2023

TONIGHT’S RECOUPLING SEES AN ISLANDER DUMPED

The Islanders gather around the fire pit for tonight’s surprise recoupling and it’s the boys’ turn to make the decisions.

After impressing with her dance moves and dating two of the boys will one of the Islanders choose to couple up with new bombshell Claudia? And what effect will that have on the remaining decisions?

Who feels like the “luckiest man in the world” and who says their partner is the “kindest and purest girl” they’ve ever met? Meanwhile, who hears they are in a “platonic friendship”, and which girl left not in a couple at the end must say their goodbyes and leave the Villa?

THE GIRLS ARE TREATED TO A THREE-COURSE MEAL BY THE BOYS

The following afternoon, as the Islanders relax and sunbathe they receive a surprise text, revealing the boys will be turning into chefs for the night.

Reading the text aloud, Casey reveals: “Islanders, tonight the boys will be showing off their culinary skills as they prepare a romantic three course dinner #HungryForLove #IOnlyHaveFriesForYou.”

Later that evening, the boys head downstairs to the kitchen and decide to assign roles. Shaq, Jordan and Kai crack on with the cooking as Ron offers to be sous chef. Meanwhile Will, Casey and Tom take on the role of waiters and entertainers. Shaq says: “It was actually a lot of fun cooking with everyone, we all had our roles. It was mostly Will singing.”

As the girls enjoy the bruschetta starter prepared by the boys, Will fumbles his waiter role and accidentally spills a drink. The boys then move onto cooking the main course, the girls look on as one of them questions: “Can you guys imagine yourselves on dates with them on the outside?”

They reply: “Yes, 100%.” As they enjoy dessert, one couple discusses their thoughts on marriage before feeding each other chocolate covered strawberries. And one couple leans in for an unexpected cheeky kiss. Who is locking lips?

WHO IS IN HOT WATER OVER THE WASHING UP?

The night starts to draw to a close and most of the boys are in the kitchen cleaning up after their culinary efforts. But Shaq isn’t happy when he sees Ron not offering to help.

Calling over to Ron as he sits at the fire pit, Shaq insists: “No seriously, come on. We’re all washing up and cleaning, so can you get up and have your chat later? Come and clean, we’re all doing it together.”

Will Ron join the boys in the kitchen? Or will he pick chats over chores?

Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on Channel 4.
