Love Island catch up: 3 talking points as Connor reacts questionably to Sophie's celebration – as it happened

The latest episode of Love Island saw tough decisions, heated rows and a pretty dodgy reaction from one of the male contestants.

Tonight's edition filled viewers in on the precise reason why Ollie decided to leave the villa after just three days and producers also found time to show us the burgeoning love triangle between new arrival Eve, Callum and Shaughna.

Meanwhile, an important announcement sent shockwaves ricocheting through the villa – and one that may have irreparably damaged what seemed to be the strongest couple in this year's series..

Below are the three biggest talking points from tonight's episode.

1. Ollie exits the show

So, in news that the world already knew, 23-year-old estate owner and potential trophy-hunter Ollie Williams decided to leave the villa after just three days. His reason? Because he realised he still has feelings for his ex--girlfriend. "This show's about love, isn't it?" he told his fellow contestants after he gathered them around the firepit to break the news. They were all a bit taken aback and perhaps a little bit too emotional considering they've known him for 72 hours.

2. Sianisse puts Nas straight

Nas is quite clearly this series's class clown, but sadly this has put him in the "friend zone" area with Sianisse. Perhaps it's because of this that he feels the beauty consultant from Bristol has been giving him "mixed signals". So, when this news got back to her via Jess, she snapped into action and pulled him to one side. "There's no spark romantically," she told him firmly, extinguishing any hope of a romance between the pair. Not that anyone expected there to be one.

3. Connor's questionable reaction

It all started to go a bit wrong for Connor when Paige bellowed: "I've got a text!" After swiftly discovering that two new boys were poised to enter the villa the next day, Connor was shocked to see Sophie – with whom he's coupled up – waving her hands in the air and whooping in celebration. "It's a bit muggy," he told the boys before taking Sophie to one side in order to work out whether or not she was joking (answer: she quite clearly was). Even after she tells him she meant nothing by it, he looks at her like she'd just urinated on his shoes and controllingly berated her for her reaction. If he wants to win the game, he's going to have to develop a bit of a thicker skin.  

Catch up with the live blog below for all the events as they happened

Hello and welcome to our live blog of the latest episode of Love Island – where we will be breaking down all the big moments as they happen, which is essentially in an exercise in remembering names of people we'll have completely forgotten in two month's time.
If you missed last night's episode, here are all the talking points you need (well, all three of them).

Did you know that Ollie's quit? If you're reading this, we're gonna assume you did. Anyway, this is why he left (you'll see it in action in tonight's episode).

If you're after a first look at whats in store tonight, we have you sorted.
 
This is your one hour warning – we repeat: your one hour warning.
So, what are we hoping happens tonight? I'll vote first: something dramatic and interesting.
We're just moments away from what we're sure will be world class television.
Tensions rocking the villa following the arrival of Eve. Will she find her very own Adam? Time will tell.
OLLIE LEAVES (but we all knew that anyway).
Callum doesn't want to "waste anyone's time" in there. We'll remind him of that in about 10 days.
Nas has been friend zoned, which is not the fastest way to money on this show. STEP IT UP, NAS.
Connor and Sophie want to see Nas with the right person so they're trying to tempt him to make things work with Sianisse who clearly has no interest in him. Hmmm.
Okay, so Nas is trying to flirt with Sianisse. Emphasis on the word "trying".
Aha... He just got "sasspot" Sianisse's name wrong. She found that very stressful.
Someone give Nas the kitchen sink, quick.
"I am backing myself," he just said. Well, that makes one person.
Ollie: "That's the end of any kind of dishonesty. Give me the opportunity to prove I'm trustworthy."
 
After the break
 
Ollie quits.
Time for bed?! I wish, but I have a live blog to write.
Fun fact for anyone reading along: this is the same house where they filmed the Miley Cyrus episode of Black Mirror.
Mike, pretty sure there's nothing less cool than debriefing about the kiss you were given during the night with the person who gave you the kiss.

Love Island continues tomorrow at 9pm on ITV2.
