Love Island first look sees couples adapt to being parents as girls enjoy baby free afternoon

There's less than a week until the Love Island grand finale as the Islanders prepare for their biggest challenge yet - becoming parents.

The infamous baby challenge returns on Wednesday night as five brand new arrivals are making their way into the villa to wreak havoc for the Islanders. The contestants wake up to the sound of five babies crying in the Villa as they head down to meet their bundles of joy.

There is a mixed reaction from the contestants as Sanam excitedly says: “Let’s go see our child!” While Lana exclaims: “Help? Someone?”

The couples soon rush to get their babies dressed for the day before deliberating on what to name the tots. Kai and Sanam name their baby boy Bruno, while Shaq and Tanya opt for a couple name Shanya.

After naming their baby, Shaq says: “She’s just the most beautiful bundle of joy in the world.” Jessie and Will pick a sentimental name in Rufus as Will explains: “It's Rufus Lamby Wynter-Young. Rufus comes from a pet sheep I had on the farm.”

Parenting might not be smooth sailing for some couples as Tanya says to Shaq: Are you sure you’re the dad?”

Later in the day, Ron receives a text inviting the boys for a day out but before anyone can get too excited they learn it's a father-son excursion. The girls enjoy a baby and boy-free afternoon while the lads take their babies to a jungle gym-style play park.

While playing with their babies on the slides and merry-go-round, the boys get deep and discuss fatherhood as Shaq asks Kai: "What type of dad do you think you will be?” Kai says: “I’m the most laid back chilled individual going, Bruno will have a field day with me, Sanam will be the strict one.”

Talk soon turns to the future as Shaq asks Kai: “Can you see yourself and Sanam having kids one day maybe?”

Kai replies: “If things keep going how they are then without a doubt I could see us having kids. Bruno is lucky to have a mum like her; she's beautiful, intelligent, caring.”

Elsewhere Will sings a nursery rhyme to baby Rufus and as the boys’ day out comes to a close they reflect on how they’ve adapted to being parents. Ron asks Shaq: “Do you want to be a parent?”

Shaq answers: “Yeah, me and Tanya have spoken about it in the future, she wants two, I want three.”

In the evening, the Islanders enjoy a baby disco complete with party hats, bubbles and party food with the couples enjoying a game of limbo and musical chairs. They then find out which couple won the competition for being the best parent for the day, and enjoy some relaxation after sending the tots to sleep for the night.

Love Island returns to ITV2 and ITX tonight at 9pm.
