Love Island LIVE: Parents arrive on the island tonight as Jack and Dani look like favourites to win final

With only two episodes of Love Island 2018 left, one can only image how gruelling the ITV2 producers will make them for our islanders.

So it seems they decided to give them a break, sending the remaining couples on incredibly lavish dates.

Megan and Wes got to go on a luxury boat ride, where the L-Bomb was dropped, again.

Meanwhile Kaz and Josh had a fairylight-lit dinner (I suppose candles were too dangerous with so many hair prodcuts), accompanied by a woman playing a white grand piano while a man danced in a hoop. Even Dr Alex and Alexandra made up after their acrimonious breakup.

But, as only Love Island knows how, the happiness soon gave way for suspense. The sunny Spanish skies fast turned grey as the islanders found out their fate.

The contestants had to vote for the couple that they wanted to put forward for eviction on Sunday (29 July) night. Tensions ran high, intense discussions about friendship and unconditional love were had, but choose they must.

After texting in their choices, we are left with three couples up for eviction. Josh and Kaz, Dr Alex and Alexandra, Laura and Paul. It had seemed so obvious that the two Alexs would go, but after scrabbling around to make-up - with £50,000 gleaming in their eyes - they may have clinched it. 

So who will leave on Sunday? What will Danny Dyer have to say about his daughter Dani's besotted boyfriend Jack?

The pen salesman has expressed his love for Dani over the past few episodes, with the pair even agreeing to move in together after the series ends. 

While TV hardman Danny Dyer is currently holidaying in Florida with his wife Jo, the preview clip shows the couple speaking to Dani and Jack via Skype from their hotel room, while other parents arrive at the villa to dish out some advice to their offspring ahead of the live final.

Now we move into Love Island’s pantomime phase, where the islanders court not each other but the general public, with all the determined energy of a bird of paradise building its shiny love nest from discarded crisp packets.
