Love Island 2018 LIVE: New boys wreak havoc as nearly all the couples start to doubt each other

Love Island is in for some major trouble - as the new boys and girls started to dig their claws into our couples. 

Megan currently has her pick of the litter when it comes to the new boys, though it seems she might be settling on Alex 2.0. News that will certainly be coming to Wes' surprise. 

What's genuinely devastating to see, however, is how Samira's been left feeling utterly unwanted during her time on Love Island, as she ended up in floods of tears as none of the new boys seemed to express much interest in her. 

One couple we thankfully don't have to worry about (more specifically, Danny Dyer doesn't have to worry about) is Jack and Dani.


Though both were separately consumed with anxiety that someone might be cracking on with their partner, they've remained faithful, even with the arrival of Jack's ex, Ellie 2.0. And the UK's heart melted as we watched them both spend the night outside rather than in someone else's bed.

Elsewhere, our contestants also pushed themselves to the limits of their own bodily hygiene, as they spat alcoholic drinks into each other's mouths in an attempt to complete the episode's challenge.
