Love Island 2018 LIVE: Dr Alex explodes at Ellie and romance might be brewing for Wes and Megan
Monday night's Love Island(25 June) saw the villa fall to pieces, one couple unceremoniously ending, while two others are on the verge of breaking.
First up, the highly anticipated split of Alex and Ellie finally happened. While the nation was previously on the Good Doctor's side, viewers have gradually turned against Alex, who exploded at Ellie during their very school-yard break-up. With Ellie storming off just before the credits rolled, the pair's chances of winning the £50,000 prize money (that's the reason they're really on the show, right?) have pretty much diminished.
Before then, though, we saw Laura in tears as Wes called her "ignorant" following a very revealing challenge (in which one contestant, the snake in the grass Adam, revealed that he had slept with over 200 people). Plus, Megan spoke candidly about really not being all that into Eyal (which comes as no surprise to anyone with a braincell).
And all that leads nicely into the tease for the next episode: Megan choosing to smooch Wes instead of Eyal! What will Laura do? Do we still care?
With another dramatic episode on the horizon, The Independent will be bringing you the latest from the Spanish villa. For now, you can catch up on everything that happened during Monday's show below.
Hello, and welcome to The Independent's Love Island live-blog, where we comment on Spain's most promiscuous villa, hoping to learn the secrets of love from these tanned, toned, and tattooed specimens.
Some Love Island news from earlier in the day: Rosie, who was kicked out on Friday, was interviewed by Pierse Morgan. Apparently the Good Morning Britain presenter was not impressed by the former solicitor giving up the 18 hour-a-day job to appear on the show.
Morgan apparently said: "What do your family think of you giving up this extraordinarily successful law career to make yourself look stupid on TV?”
In football news, Iran has just scored against Portugal in the 93rd minute, bring the score to one all. Karim Ansarifard scored a penalty. The Russian stadium going absolutely mad.... but enough of that, Love Island's nearly on.
And we're into the good stuff. "Looking in, I couldn't get it," Ellie says about Alex. And now Megan - once a potential partner for Alex - also saying she expected more from the Doctor in real life. The girls, plus the nation, seem to be turning on him.
Slow, romantic music as our couples fall asleep. Well, not Wes and Laura. Looks like they're going at it! Except, we won't find out until after the adverts...
In other Love Island news, the happy couple Dani and Jack are about to be rocked. Reports indicate that the ITV producers are planning a particularly cruel addition to the villa: Jack's former girlfriend, the 22-year-old Keeley MacGuire, is heading to Majorca. Could their now official romance be scuppered?
Love Island continues nightly except for Saturday on ITV2 at 9pm.
