Maya Jama has given the first Love Island bombshells the \u201csecret\u201d task of dumping one boy and one girl from the villa \u201cfor any reason\u201d they like.<\/p>\n
The ITV reality dating show returned to screens on Monday evening with 12 eager singletons, and two bombshells, entering the Love Island villa.<\/p>\n
The episode ended with a twist which saw Jama task the two latecomers, professional footballer George, 28, and recruitment consultant Yasmin, 23, with the \u201cvery important job\u201d of sending home two contestants in 24 hours.<\/p>\n
Meeting the bombshells the morning after the first six couples were formed, she told them: \u201cYou\u2019re probably wondering why I\u2019m here and meeting you at the front.<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, it was a wild night in there last night and the islanders had a bit of a party game.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey all coupled up, but now the two of you have a very important job to do, which you must keep to yourselves.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn 24 hours, one girl and one boy will be dumped, and that decision will be down to both of you.\u201d<\/p>\n
The host explained that the pair did not have any restrictions on who to dump, however, the one condition was that they cannot tell any of the islanders about the task.<\/p>\n
Jama added: \u201cYou can dump anyone for any reason. Will you get rid of your biggest competition? Will you dump a game player who\u2019s not here for love, or will it be someone who you\u2019re just not vibing with?<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat you\u2019re about to do will rock the villa. They are not going to see this coming.<\/p>\n
\u201cRemember, on Love Island, with big decisions come big consequences. Off you go. And remember, this is our little secret. Let the games begin.\u201d<\/p>\n
Earlier on in the episode, the islanders got to know one another before Jama strutted in in a white co-ord to introduce an icebreaker which involved taking a sip of their drink if they agreed with a statement she read out, including \u201ctake a sip if you think any of the boys are handsome\u201d.<\/p>\n
They were then asked to reveal their answers.<\/p>\n
Following the game, Jama asked the contestants to talk through and work out who they wanted to couple up with, asking them whether they would \u201cplay it safe\u201d or step out of their \u201ccomfort zone\u201d.<\/p>\n
After some deliberation, the first six couples were formed, with model Samraj, 25, paired with student Mica, 21, while fashion business owner Jasmine, 27, coupled up with business owner Lorenzo, 28.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile property broker Aidan, 23, shared a bed with videographer Ellie, 24, while nurse Angelista, 24, coupled up with West End performer Ope, 27.<\/p>\n
Primary school teacher Sean, 25, was paired up with detective Lola, 25, and Robyn, 21, was paired with electrician Samuel, 25.<\/p>\n
The episode also saw the first kiss of the season after Aidan asked Ellie, to which she offered him a peck.<\/p>\n
