LOVE ISLAND TONIGHT: WEDNESDAY 12th JULY 2023

KADY MAKES AN UNEXPECTED ANNOUNCEMENT

As night falls at the Villa, the Islanders gather in the garden and prepare to toast the evening ahead.

Kady raises her glass as she says: “Well, let’s cheers to an eventful day, a good day, great people, honest opinions and maybe not so honest opinions, let’s have a good night.”

As her fellow Islanders raise a toast, Kady has another message as she says: “Also, congrats to Zach and Molly to being officially closed off.”

This revelation seems to catch Zach off guard as he sarcastically says: “Wow, what a cheers…I aint even cheersing to that.”

Seemingly unaware of this news, Mitch adds: “What? You didn’t tell us about that!”

Molly shakes her head as she says: “Yeah, she just brought it up, thanks babe.”

As the evening gets off to a very awkward start, how will the rest of the night unfold for the Islanders?

MITCH PULLS ABI FOR A CHAT

With Scott and Mitch both vying for Abi’s attention, Scott continues his attempt to win Abi over as they catch up and flirt on the day beds later that evening.

As Abi contemplates her connection with both boys and how to navigate the newly found triangle that she’s found herself in, Scott assures her: “If this is what you want to do, you aren’t doing anything wrong. Mitch is aware of the situation. You’ve got to do what you want to do…right now, you’re the only person I see a possibility with.”

It seems Mitch thinks otherwise as he catches up with Abi after she’s spoken to Scott to let her know how he’s feeling, Mitch says: “I wanted to talk to you all night tonight and we spoke for about ten minutes. Obviously I’m not going to interrupt a chat and by all means get to know Scott but I just feel like there is a level of respect to that and you didn’t give me any…”

Abi replies: “It was a good chat and I’m going to tell you, I’m not going to lie to you.”

Mitch quips back: “I know it was a good chat, you spent all night with him.”

With Scott and Abi continuing to explore their connection, where does Mitch stand and which boy is Abi most interested in?

WHITNEY AND LOCHAN GO ON THEIR FIRST DATE

The following day, Whitney and Lochan receive a text, the message reads: “Whitney & Lochan, it’s time for you to go on your first date. Please get ready to leave the Villa. #HappyHour #ItsGivingRomance”

As they excitedly venture out of the Villa they arrive at a secluded spot with views of the coastline and a cocktail for them each to enjoy.

Holding hands throughout the date, Lochan tells Whitney “You make me happy and I hope you think I make you happy too.”

Whitney replies: “I want to be emotional and touchy feely…my type on the outside is not what I've gone for in here. Now I just want the nice guy.”

Lochan jokes: “I can’t even pretend to be a bad boy.”

Whitney responds: “Nah, you’re definitely not bad!”

As the date draws to a close, Whitney tells Lochan that her date with Lochan has been the best she’s had since being in the Villa.

With Whitney and Lochan’s relationship continuing to blossom, what’s next for them?

THE VILLA RECEIVES A SHOCK TEXT

As the Islanders embark on another evening, unbeknownst to them a text message reaches the Villa, it reads: “Islanders, the public have been voting for the most compatible couple…”

Shortly after the Islanders receive another message, as Whitney opens the text she shouts: “No, no, no..."

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