Love Island LIVE: Paul reveals he kissed Britney Spears - and Laura is not happy

Another day, another step closer to the end of Love Island.

Last night's episode saw Georgia and Sam leave the villa, the pair deciding to stick together rather than stay and recouple with other people (despite walking away from the chance to win £50,000). Emotions were high as they walked out, but Georgia finally proved what she's been saying all this time: she's loyal.

The other recouplings finally saw things fall into place: Jack and Dani, Wes and Megan plus Josh and Kaz all stayed together. Then, Jack 2 (not Dani's Jack) picked Laura (New Laura, that is) after the two shared a kiss the previous evening. Paul was next, who deciding to pick Old Laura which left Dr Alex with the chance to recouple with Alexandra despite having called things off a few days before. 

Going by tonight's preview, however, he seems to be making up for lost time in a rather creepy impressive manner. 

Which leaves us with... um... whatshisname.. er, New Josh, the 21-year-old who has barely featured so far. He was left with newcomer Stephanie completing a couple that really do not have a chance at winning this show in the slightest.  

As always, The Independent will be live-blogging the aftermath of the latest recoupling which you can follow along with below. Please allow a moment to load.

Phew! That's a wrap folks. Here's what happened on tonight's Love Island:
 
- Jack and New Laura went on a romantic date (genuinely seemed quite pleasant)
- Dr Alex managed to win Alex back with some rather alarming role playing
- Jack and Dani are still perfect
- Old Laura and Paul kiss - only after he revealed that not only was he in a Britney Spears music video, but he claims to have kissed her
21:59
Bit the Britney drama is all behind us, Paul and Old Laura (yet again, not a comment on her age) are getting it on. We can't even keep up with the amount of kissing in this episode.
21:57
And of course in true Laura style, she has even managed to get jealous of this fact
21:57
Woah that escalated fast. Paul claims to have kissed Britney Spears. Blimey.
21:56
FINALLY what we've all be waiting for: Paul is talking about being in a Britney Spears music video
21:55
Genuinely unbelievably, it worked. In what must be the most cringey moment of the series, Dr Alex's role playing led to a steamy kiss with Alex. Go figure.
21:53
That's right, they're doing it. Dr Alex and Lady Alex are genuinely role playing. Totally constructed, unbelievable, awkward...well it's like any other Love Island date, right?
21:52
Jack and Dani, scheming away, are trying to convince Dr Alex to do role play.
 
Dr Alex: "But she knows who I am!"
 
I fear Dr Alex has misunderstood the premise of role play.
21:49
And we have the showdown, Lady Alex and Laura having the most passive aggressive conversation in Love Island history all about Paul 
21:42
Sooo many Lauras
21:42
Did anyone else zone out during that date with Jack and Laura/ I preferred him with Laura (old Laura)
21:36
As in the flying kind
21:36
These lads love birds - I smell a spinoffffff
21:35
Yeah... that was not a number one tune
21:29
Laura and Jack just won the cake task - that's Jack and NEW Laura, in case you missed an episode
21:28
This is just making me want cake now - can someone bring me cake?
21:12
To be fair, new Josh is repping that pink apron
21:12
Okay, so this challenge isn't gonna cause any drama, why are we bothering?
21:12
Hold on - Channel 4 need to jump on this Love Island-Great British Bake Off crossover SHARPISH
21:12
OH there's a challenge, happening - finally


Love Islandcontinues weekdays and Sunday on ITV2 at 9pm.
