LOVE ISLAND TONIGHT: FULL RUNDOWN FOR TONIGHT'S EPISODE, THURSDAY 23 JULY 2026

Love Island continues tonight on ITV2 and ITVX, here's a full rundown of tonight's episode...

GAMEPLAY ACCUSATIONS ROCK THE VILLA

Priya questions Julia over her thoughts on her connection with Aidan, asking: “Do you think I’m genuinely with Aidan as a gameplay, to get to the final?”

While Julia concedes: “I do think you’ve developed a connection,” the agreement is short-lived as she adds: “He would pick you over any new bombshell as that would guarantee the final.”

As the conversation turns to the wider dynamics in the Villa, Julia voices her concerns, telling Priya: “I have seen a pattern… it’s always people who have been here longer will choose each other over the people who are newer.” She adds: “It’s cliquey.”

But as the disagreement spills into the dressing room, Priya defends her position, telling Julia: “Bombshells and Casa Girls, you come in knowing you’re a test to the OGs.”

Will their disagreement divide the Villa?

MAYA JAMA PUTS THE ISLANDERS IN THE HOTSEAT

The following day, Jasmine receives a text, she announces, ‘Islanders, it’s time to get a taste of life outside the Villa in today’s couples challenge, ‘Not Another Podcast’, hosted by Maya Jama.’

Speaking with Jasmine and Kavan on the podcast, Maya discusses Aidan and Priya the current drama gripping the Villa. Kavan shares his thoughts on their connection, admitting, “They may like each other, but will they work? No…”

When Aidan and Priya take their turn in the hot seat, Maya asks, “What is your actual situation?” But as the pair attempt to explain where they stand, Priya has a revealing question of her own for Aidan, leading to him making a shocking confession.

Elsewhere, Maya tells Julia and Lorenzo that the public have some questions for them, reading “Lorenzo, why don’t you defend Julia like you defend the other girls?” prompting an excited Julia to declare, “Great question, I love it!”

With Maya asking the questions everyone wants answered, what revelations will come out of Not Another Podcast?

REVELATIONS FROM 'NOT ANOTHER PODCAST' SPARK FALLOUT

The Islanders gather in the Garden as Maya returns and asks, “Who’s ready for a watch party?”

Explaining what’s in store, Maya tells them, “As you know, the public were asked a series of questions to see how they rate you as couples, so I asked you to do the same.” She continues, “It’s now time to find out, not only what you all think of each other, but how the public ranked you.”

As the results of ‘Not Another Podcast’ begin to play out, Maya kicks things off by asking, “Which couple is the most fame hungry?”

Julia chooses Priya and Aidan, explaining, “I was doubting the intentions of their connection. I felt like they coupled up with each other because longer is stronger.”

But as the answers continue to be revealed, several couples turn their attention towards Julia, leaving her questioning why Lorenzo is being left out. She exclaims, “Just me? It’s a couple!” As another Islander admits, “It’s starting to get ridiculous,” Julia responds, “You guys are ridiculous in here, lol.”

The questions continue to put the couples under the spotlight as Maya asks, “Which couple is most likely to split because one of them cheats?”

One couple explains their choice by admitting, “I think he can be swayed,” while another once again questions Julia, but not Lorenzo, reasoning, “I know Lorenzo and he wouldn’t, it’s more from Julia’s side.”

As opinions continue to divide the Villa, Aidan weighs in on the debate, declaring, “There’s a difference between flirting and cheating.”

How will the Islanders react when the results are finally laid bare?

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