Love Island's Whitney confronts Mehdi after heart rate challenge gets tense

Love Island fans can expect another explosive episode on Monday, as the boys can't seem to stay out of trouble.

Sunday's episode saw the return of the iconic heart rate challenge which got pulses racing - but for the wrong reasons. The task sees contestants sport sexy costumes and perform a lap dance to get hearts beating.

However, it sparked a confrontation between couple Whitney and Mehdi, when he was accused of taking the task too far. During the challenge, Mehdi kissed a total of four women, which did not go down well with Whitney.

Tonight will see her confront the French man among the group, with the 25 year-old asking:“ Why are you kissing everyone?”, but he insists that it's "just a challenge" and nothing to worry about.

While Mehdi does not see anything wrong with his actions, Whitney accuses him of having no "emotional awareness", stating that contestants use the challenge to kiss who they have their eye on.

Catching up in private she asks: “How can you not gauge emotional awareness? Every single boy kissed the one they are most interested in.

"You are literally there emotionally for everyone but when it comes to me you're literally so mean." But Mehdi is quick to dismiss Whitney. "If you come to me with an attitude I won't address it," he responds, prompting her to storm off.

Meanwhile, Tyrique and Ella finally went on their first date. Sunday's instalment saw things erupt for the couple after Ella was left in tears by his brutal comments, with fans calling Tyrique "toxic".

However, the air has been cleared and the couple are seen being whisked away from the Villa to a romantic rooftop location in tonight's episode. While enjoying the picturesque views, they discuss their budding romance, with both admitting to growing feelings.

“I can see you have feelings for me…the fact that I can see you really trying means a lot,” Ella says.

As the conversation continues, Tyrique adds: “I've had feelings in the past…but you’re the person that’s made me realise I can have strong feelings. I didn’t think I was capable, that’s why I’ll always have love and respect for you.”

Meanwhile Zach confides in Mitchel about his feelings for Kady, seeking advice on how to seal the deal. Chatting to Mitchel in the pool, he says: "I definitely need to secure a cheeky kiss.”

Mitchel advised: “When the moment arises you’ll know if it’s right or wrong to do. I think tonight go for a chat and go, ‘ah, it’s a bit loud here’, let’s go upstairs to the terrace.”

Later that evening with the couple sitting on the terrace, Zach tells Kady: “I’m definitely glad you picked me as well…I’d almost say I’ve got some nerves which is nice…it’s a weird feeling for me to be honest.

"I’ve not had nerves in a very, very, very long time.”

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