Love Island's Olivia 'just not that into Kai,' says body language expert

Olivia Hawkins and Kai Fagan have become quite close in the Love Island villa over the past few days and have both admitted that they like each other.

However, it's being claimed that she isn't actually that into him, and the pair are just looking for air time ahead of tonight's recoupling and Casa Amor, with two boys set to be dumoed frim the villa.

Body language expert Judi James says that they're not "looking for love," but instead "looking for airtime".

Speaking on behalf of Paddy Power Bingo, Judi says: "With both evictions and Casa Amor looming, it’s important islanders couple-up to both avoid getting thrown out and to have some kind of a relationship to smash and trample on for screen time when the ultimate group of bombshells get to work.

"In a very stilted scene, Kai and Olivia suddenly declared an interest in each other but their body language was not looking congruent as they did so, giving the scene an air of desperation.

"Olivia, the eye contact queen, kept her shades on for the conversation. This would hamper her ability to both flirt with Kai and to read if his attraction was genuine. She also used her key word ‘really?’ as a verbal response. The word is stretched out when Olivia uses it, making it sound sarcastic.

"As Kai declared an interest, she also performed a judgmental gesture, putting her knuckles of one hand up to her cheek with her fingers placed close to her lips.

"Olivia’s nose-wrinkle is a new signature gesture that can suggest she is being ‘cute’, but also beginning to look like a display signal from a woman who doesn’t seem to be finding her match in the villa."

Kai, Aaron and Spencer all at risk of being dumped from the show tonight - with the final decision in the hands of the girls.

Love Island continues on ITV2 and ITVX tonight at 9pm.
