Love Island 2018 LIVE: Romance blossoms as Jack asks Dani to officially be his girlfriend

Love Island's Sunday episode saw romance blossom all across of the villa.

First off, Samira landed her first kiss of the show with new boy Sam, promising that, not only has she once more managed to evade being evicted from the villa, but that she might actually get a shot at finding real love. 

Georgia went for broke with Josh and the two consolidated their coupling with a promise of no more games; Megan and Eyal, plus Adam and Zara got to know each other a little bit better with some heartfelt chats about how Venice "stinks", apparently, and what the practicalities of opening 300 schools are. 

Meanwhile, Laura and Wes let "the horse eat the sugar lump", which won't be explained further - but you can guess what it entails.  

But, most importantly of all, Jack actually asked Dani to be his girlfriend. And she said yes, instantly cementing them as the absolute favourites to win the show. Could there ever be any doubt? Or is there a nasty surprise hiding around the corner?

'Love Island is a hateful parade of everything you wanted to be as a young person, but weren’t'

The Independent‘Love Island’ virgin David Barnett sits down to watch the new series of the televised ‘Club 18-30’ holiday with his teenage daughter, and can’t help but ask, where have the days of watching ‘Dora the Explorer’ gone?

Only one hour to go, who can believe it.

Previously: we had the shock eviction of Rosie, with Sam offering Samira another chance at love in the villa. This week: uh... what's coming, actually?

21:04

Alex thinks his life is a rom-com. He's with a beautiful blonde! His friend hasn't been kicked out! Ellie just thanked him for saving her from eviction, which is definitely a great sign that this isn't going to end in disaster.

"Did the horse eat the sugar lump" is the worst analogy for sex I have ever heard. My mind is forever spoiled. I'll get myself to a nunnery. It's over.

21:24

Also, how on earth is Laura even pretending that if you have sex in a communal bedroom people might... just... notice? Maybe?
