Love Island star Mike Boateng is making it clear he's putting all his eggs in Jess's basket... despite coupling up with Sophie in last night's explosive episode.
Mike lays his cards down by telling Jess he has feelings for her and savagely admits Leanne's exit is a "kick up the bum" for him.
But it was just yesterday when Mike made his feelings for Sophie clear, hinting at the fact he always found her attractive before coupling up with her.
Ahead of the recoupling Sophie told Mike she didn't want to 'pressure him', however she confessed she was keen not to cut her journey in the villa short.
Stood around the fire pit during the nail-biting recoupling, Mike had a decision to make between his ex-flame Leanne and newly-single Sophie.
He said: "I would like to couple up with this girl as she has been here since the beginning and I believe that her journey isn't finished and she has the qualities to make any man happy.
"Her presence is felt in the villa and it would be a shame to see her go, I'm looking forward to seeing her grow, hopefully she will be happy.
"The girl I'd like to couple up with is, Sophie."
And although the speech was nice to listen to, it's authenticity is now being questioned after the policeman, who originally fancied the twins, tells Jess "had it been me that was able to pick first I would have picked you".
Grabbing Jess for a one-to-one chat, he declares the way he feels about her.
He says: "I'm a little bit upset I didn't get it my way. But I'm not going to let it stop me getting to know you."
But Jess is left unconvinced, and questions his authenticity.
She replies: "Actions speak louder than words. In order for me to know be with someone other than Luke, you need to show me."
The hunk confesses he can "definitely" see the pair going somewhere, and told Jess "I'll show you".
However Jess, 20, is suspicious and starts to see red flags.
"I know that if this hadn't happened with Leanne, you wouldn't be saying it," she tells him.
But he hits back with: "Everything happens for a reason. This might have been the kick up the bum to get to where I'm supposed to be."
Will Mike be able to get his way without hurting anyone's feelings?
