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

A FIRST DATE RAISES BIG QUESTIONS

The morning after coupling up, Priya and Aidan look forward to a day in the Villa when Aidan receives an exciting text revealing it’s time for the pair’s first date.

“Priya and Aidan, it’s time for your first date. Please get ready to leave the Villa.”

As they toast to their new romance, the conversation quickly turns to everything that’s happened in the Villa and they discuss Aidan’s former connections.

Aidan admits that while exploring a connection with Elicia, he always told her that his head was with Priya.

Priya asks, “What were you telling her in bed though? That you wanted to kiss her the whole time she’s been in here.”

Aidan replies, “If I had the opportunity I would kiss all the girls in the Villa, I think they’re all beautiful,” leaving Priya in disbelief as he quickly tries to laugh it off.

As they continue talking about their connection the mood lightens as Aidan tells Priya, “You’re drawing this lover boy out of me.”

Will it be smooth sailing for Aidan and Priya going forward?

KAVAN DOESN’T HOLD BACK THE TRUTH

After returning from their date, Aidan catches up with Kavan and Samraj at the Firepit to reflect on how things are progressing with Priya.

Watching from the Sundeck, the girls try to work out what the boys are discussing, with Jasmine observing, “It looks very passionate,” as Priya admits, “that’s what I don’t like about it.”

Looking for an honest opinion, Aidan asks Kavan what he really thinks about his relationship with Priya. But Kavan doesn’t hold back, telling his brother, “I don’t see you two working… I don’t see you working on the outside… I don’t see you working at all.”

As Aidan insists, “I am feeling it,” Kavan remains unconvinced, replying, “No you’re not.” 

Later, Kavan opens up to Jasmine, Julia, Mica and Samraj, admitting, “Whenever anyone asked my opinion on Aidan’s situation, I was never honest. I was never even honest to Aidan...” 

After Kavan reveals his honest feelings, where does this leave Aidan and Priya’s growing connection?

THE GRAFTIES RETURN TO ROCK THE VILLA

The Villa is buzzing when Yasmin receives a text announcing the return of one of the most hotly anticipated nights.

‘Get those award-winning speeches ready because tonight it’s the Grafties. The Boots Beauty crew is on hand to get you absolutely glammed to perfection for the big night.’

As excitement sweeps through the Villa, Yasmin declares, “We need to look amazing, we’re going to have the best night ever.” But while the girls get ready for an evening of glamour, the boys aren’t so convinced.

Predicting what lies ahead, Samraj warns, “It’s going to be naughty. It’s going to be cheeky. There’s going to be drama…” before Tommy adds, “A few truths are going to come out today.”

As nerves begin to creep in, Jasmine admits, “I’ve slagged a lot of the boys off, I’ll be honest.”. Julia, however, can’t wait, admitting, “I’m excited!”

As the awards get underway, secret conversations and revelations come to light leaving the Islanders questioning everything they thought they knew.

One boy finds himself accused of downplaying a past situation, leaving his partner admitting, “I don’t know how I feel about that, it’s just gross, isn’t it?” while he concedes, “I cringed watching that.”

Elsewhere, the race for Flirtiest Performance sparks plenty of debate as one boy jokes, “I feel robbed!” while the eventual winner laughs, “That was probably my least flirtiest moment!”

But as another clip plays out, one girl is left convinced her instincts were right all along, declaring, “That’s why a woman’s intuition is always right.” 

Refusing to accept her partner’s apology, she tells him, “I don’t want an apology, I just don’t want to waste my time anymore..”

As the Grafties get underway, what dramatic moments and shocking revelations will play out for all to see? 

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