AIDAN GETS SERVED SOME HOME TRUTHS
As Friends and Family Day continues, the Islanders eagerly await who’ll be walking through the Villa doors next.
Kavan’s mum Emma and twin sister Riley arrive alongside Jasmine’s mum Husna and younger sister Bella, with emotional reunions leaving both Aidan, Kavan and Jasmine overwhelmed.
Settling in at the Firepit, Emma wastes no time sharing her thoughts on Aidan’s journey as she tells her son: “Aidan Murphy, you are a dirty dog!”
As Aidan laughs and admits: “I’ve had a journey in here,” his mum jokes “You’ve been round the world, mate,” before Riley joins in, “Every time you were with a girl you’d be like, ‘Give us a kiss’… behave, Aidan!”
But the teasing doesn’t stop there when Bella decides to pull Aidan for a one-on-one chat “sister to brother.”
Reflecting on everything that’s happened, Aidan admits, “The whole situation with Jas and Kav, I was just looking out for him,” before Bella asks, “And you feel alright about it now?”
Watching from the kitchen, Priya jokes to the Islanders, “he better not be cracking on!”
As Bella chats to Aidan, will he be able to keep his trademark charm in check?
OLD HABITS DIE HARD FOR AIDAN
Later, Lorenzo, Aidan and Samraj raise a toast at the mini Firepit after a memorable Friends and Family Day.
Reflecting on how far they’ve come, Lorenzo says, “Who would’ve ever thought we’d make it this far? And each be in very serious situations?”
As Aidan admits he’s the happiest he’s been since entering the Villa, Samraj reveals there was one thing he’d been worried about.
“Do you know what I was worried about when you were chatting to Jas’s sister?… That you would chat her up.”
Aidan’s confession leaves the boys stunned. “I was trying not to… I thought she looked cute, man… she’s very attractive.”
He continues, “She said we need to come round her house for parties… yes please.” Samraj bursts into laughter, while Lorenzo is left speechless.
Later that evening, the conversation continues.
“It’s just Aidan’s nature,” says Samraj. Lorenzo replies, “I don’t think Aidan is her type.” To which Samraj asks, “Do you think that’s the only thing stopping him?”
Could Aidan’s cheeky flirting spell trouble for his connection with Priya?
FEELINGS DEEPEN AHEAD OF THE FINAL DAYS
Following an emotional Friends and Family Day, the Islanders reflect on what meeting each other’s loved ones has meant for their relationships.
At the Firepit, Lorenzo opens up to Julia.
“For me to find a girl I’m crazy attracted to, with the intelligence and all of the great stuff all wrapped into one…”
Sensing where he’s heading, Julia encourages him. “Can you just say it!”
But can Lorenzo finally get the words out?
Meanwhile, over in the Snug, Tommy admits to Yasmin that meeting their families has made him even more excited about what’s waiting for them outside the Villa as he admits: “It’s made me so excited for our future now.”
“We have loads of things to look forward to,” Yasmin agrees. As Yasmin tells Tommy, “You make me feel fuzzy,” she asks him to sum up how he feels with an analogy.
With Yasmin coming clean about the extent of her feelings, what heartfelt declaration will Tommy come up with in return?
A SHOCK RECOUPLING ARRIVES
As the Islanders continue reflecting on an emotional day, Simba and Kavan are chatting on the daybeds when everything changes.
“I’ve got a text!” Simba reads aloud:
‘Islanders, tonight there will be a recoupling in which the girls will decide which boy they want to couple up with. Can all Islanders please gather around the Firepit immediately.’
The announcement is met with screams and nervous sighs across the Villa. “I don’t know what to say,” admits Mica.
As the Islanders gather around the Firepit, the girls prepare to make their decisions while the boys stand waiting to hear their fate.
With a shock recoupling ahead, who will secure their place in the Villa and whose Love Island journey is about to come to an end?
Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
