LOVE ISLAND TONIGHT: MONDAY 23 JANUARY 2023

ISLANDERS PLAY ‘NEVER HAVE I EVER’

As the evenings continue things spice up for the Islanders as they gather around the fire pit for a game of ‘Never Have I Ever’.

Talk turns to having sex in public places and new Australian bombshell Jessie reveals: “My most adventurous was probably on a surfboard, I’ve got really good balance and core strength.” Laughing, Will replies to Jessie: “I’m actually a really good surfer.”

Islanders then quiz each other on exes, first playing along to the question: “Never have I ever dated or got with a celebrity?” Lana, Olivia and Zara all sip their drinks as Olivia is first to explain: “I’ve dated someone in the athletic field.”

Lana then admits: “My most recent ex-boyfriend is an actor”. Zara then admits: “I’ve gotten with an athlete before, a famous athlete, very famous.” Olivia asks: “Does anyone want to say names?” Zara reveals: “I’ve kissed...” but which famous athlete does she name?

Tom then asks the Islanders: “Never have I ever wanted to be in a different couple.” Which of the Islanders will share their confessions? Tanyel then asks: “Never have I ever thought that someone in this fire pit was playing a game and not really looking for love.”

Will any of the Islanders ‘fess up to who they are talking about, or keep their cards close to their chests?

RON WANTS TO KNOW ABOUT LANA’S EX

After the game Ron is keen to know which celebrity Lana has dated as he asks her: “The actor, who was that?” Lana replies: “It’s my ex-boyfriend… he’s called Owen Warner.”

Laughing Ron says: “So basically I’m competing with someone who's just come runner-up on a massive show and who’s an actor and I work in finance, yeah, erm, sick. This is great.” In the Beach Hut Ron says: “That was a shock, I don’t really know what to think about it...”

ZARA AND OLIVIA HAVE WORDS

Later in the evening, Olivia heads over to Zara and Tom and asks to pull him for a chat. Upon their return, Zara asks Olivia: “What was that?”

Olivia replies: “Huh, what do you mean?” to which Zara asks again: ‘What was that? I wondered what the conversation was about, the context?” Olivia replies: “Oh, it’s private.”

Zara asks: “Private? Well I like to be open here so can I ask you what it was about?” Olivia laughs: “I like to be private in here if that’s ok?”

Zara adds: “Things come out eventually Liv, it’s fine” to which Olivia responds: ‘It’s not about you it’s about me and him.” Zara says: “I’m in a couple with him so it does kind of concern me.”

Olivia asks: “Are you married? Zara replies: “I’m here to find someone and I see a future with him.” How will the other Islanders react and what’s next for the two girls?

AUSSIE BOMBSHELLS EACH PICK TWO ISLANDERS TO DATE

It’s a new day in the Villa and time for the arrivals from Down Under to go on their first dates.

Aaron is first to receive a text which reads: “Aaron it’s time for you to go on your first date, please choose two girls you’d like to take and get ready to live the Villa #G’DateMate #MakeYourMove.”

Jessie’s reads: “Jessie, it’s time for you to go on your first date, please choose two boys and get ready to leave #HotDownUnder #UpforGrabs.” Which Islanders will the new bombshells choose? Where will they go on their dates and will any connections be formed?

Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2.
