LOVE ISLAND TONIGHT: MONDAY 06 FEBRUARY 2023

RON REFLECTS ON THE RECOUPLING

Now back in a friendship couple with Tanyel, Ron heads off into the garden to discuss how he’s feeling about Lana in light of her choosing to couple up with Casey.

Ron says: “That book’s closed, I’m going to let them be happy. When you speak to her just say it’s fine, I don’t need to talk to her, I don't want to talk to her tonight, I will deal with it in my own way.” Elsewhere, Lana catches up with Ellie, Jessie and Olivia. Lana says: “Did I shock you?”

Olivia says: “I’m shocked, you left me on edge. I just want to say I’m so proud of you and whatever makes you happy, makes me over the moon.”

Lana says: “I just think why shouldn’t I give Casey a chance, he’s not done anything wrong. I’m not closing any doors right now, all I’m doing is giving Casey more time. People's actions after things like this say a lot.”

Ron then pulls Casey for a chat. What will he have to say about the latest fire pit?

SHAQ AND TANYA TALK NEXT STEPS

Tanya and Shaq head to the snug to cosy up. Speaking about her re-coupling speech, Shaq tells Tanya: “You said a lot of stuff that really touched my heart. Honestly, you touched my heart. Do you know what touched my heart the most out of the whole thing? You saying that you couldn’t do outside life without me.”

Tanya says: “I don’t think I can, you’re full of love and you care about me.” Shaq replies: “I’ve got a whole lot of love to give.” Shaq asks Tanya: “We’re basically exclusive?” Does Tanya feel the same and is this the next step for them?

TOM TEACHES SAMIE TO SWIM

The following day, Tom is cheekily teasing Samie about her re-coupling speech. Jokingly mimicking her accent, Tom says: “‘I want to couple up with this geezer because he’s alright to look at and we get on really well and I love where it’s going and I want to snog him…’”

Samie laughs and says: “I didn’t say that!” Talk then turns to cooling off in the pool, but Samie admits: “I can’t swim.” Tom replies: “I’ll give you a swimming lesson.” He adds: “I never thought I’d be teaching the girl I like a swimming lesson…”

Samie takes the plunge as Tom supportively tells her: “Nice, see, you can swim.”

RON PULLS LANA FOR A CHAT

After sleeping on it, Ron pulls Lana for a chat. Lana says: “I don’t like upsetting you.” Ron replies: “I know you don’t.” Lana says: “I was thinking can I forgive because after I’ve had so many days upset about something.”

Ron says: “I feel like him being here for four days has superseded how we felt.” Lana asks: “Did you deserve for me to couple up with you?” What else will Ron have to say on the matter and could it change Lana’s mind about her decision?

THE BOYS TAKE ON A ‘LADIATOR’ CHALLENGE

The Villa receives a text inviting the Islanders to take part in today’s challenge, it reads: “Boys, all is fair in love and war so prepare to battle it out in the arena of love in today’s challenge, Ladiators #GoHardOrGoRome”

Will says: “I’m turning this battle sexy, watch me. I actually back myself in this challenge so you boys better watch out.” As the girls sport gold swimwear, the boys are dressed in full gladiator attire complete with armour and gold briefs.

First the boys each have to deliver a bold speech, shortly followed by them flexing their muscles for the girls. The boys then have to choose a girl to carry through the remainder of the course on a chariot. Once complete the boy will place the girl of their choice on the royal throne finishing the course with a kiss.

Will says: “My name is Willark, I’m here to shake my weapon and slay.” Ron says: “Forget Ceaser, all hail the geezer.” So who is kissing whom? And which boy will the girls crown winner?

Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2.
