LOVE ISLAND TONIGHT: FRIDAY 21st JULY 2023

SAMMY AND JESS HEAD TO THE HIDEAWAY

Ella B receives a text which reads: “Islanders. The Hideaway retreat is open tonight please choose a lucky couple to spend the night together. #NightToRemember #DoNotDisturb.”

The Islanders unanimously agree to send Sammy and Jess to the Hideaway. Speaking in the Beach Hut, Sammy can’t contain his excitement and says: “I’ve got no words!”

The boys and girls help Sammy and Jess get ready for their night in the Hideaway as the pair prepare to spend some alone time together.

Making a toast with Jess, Sammy says: “Cheers to our ridiculous rollercoaster of a journey coming through stronger each time and making it to the Hideaway.”

Will one-on-one time bring the pair closer together? The next day, Sammy has something he wants to ask Jess and enlists the help of all his fellow Islanders. Will Sammy get the answer he wants from Jess?

ELLA AND WHITNEY CONTINUE TO DISAGREE

Ella and Whitney have kept their distance from one another following their disagreement yesterday. Zach receives a text which reads: “Ella and Whitney. It’s time for you to head out for a one-to-one, please get ready to leave the Villa. #NothingLeftUnsaid #ItsGivingHarmony.”

The pair get ready and head out of the Villa to talk through their issues.

Ella says: “I feel like yesterday when I came to talk to you I was a bit hurt. I just wanted to explain that to you and for us to resolve it. But I felt like there were more things coming out from your side.”

Whitney says: “If I could sit here and tell you that you’re not selfish, I would.”

Ella says: “Let's be real, this is all because of the challenge.”

Whitney says: “This is why I say we’re not friends because if you think I’m the kind of girl that is going to use a challenge to talk to you to direct, wrong girl. If I’ve got something to say, I will tell you - I don’t need a challenge to sugarcoat things like yourself.”

Whitney later adds: “If I didn’t think it was true, I would take it back but Ella you are the most selfish person I’ve ever met in my life, it's true.”

Can the girls resolve their differences?

ABI QUESTIONS WHETHER SCOTT IS INTERESTED IN HER

Speaking to Scott at the fire pit, Abi says: “I do feel like there is a big lack of interest in this.”

Scott asks: “What? From me?”

Abi says: “Yeah. When people are asking you, you don’t have much to say.”

Scott says: “This boggles my mind. I don’t know how you were with Mitch.”

Abi says: “If I’m getting these feelings, maybe there is a reason for it.”

Scott asks: “Are you saying you’re not believing what I’m telling you?”

Abi says: “I don’t know because the things that you’re doing don’t show me that you’re interested.”

Can Scott convince Abi of his feelings for her? Or will love fail to blossom between the pair?

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