class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Friday night&#8217;s episode of Love Island followed the aftermath of Thursday&#8217;s hectic ending.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Fitzy and his partner Lola came away from last night&#8217;s crazy ending unscathed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Overall the episode featured very little of the Bearna clubman, however he did get his moment to shine during the Truth Or Dare challenge.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Fitzy was dared to give a lap dance to an islander of his choice and he of course chose Lola.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">The 25-year-old gave it his all, whipping his top off, straddling Lola and even picking her up to kiss her.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">The move divided viewers with some finding it &#8220;cringe.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">One viewer on X said: &#8220;I just don\u2019t find this Sean and Lola ship interesting at all , that lap dance was cringe.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Another posted: &#8220;Fitzy has been waiting to do that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">One impressed viewer said: &#8220;Sorry Sean, I was not familiar with your game.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">The big moment of Friday&#8217;s episode was Victoria and Ope being dumped from the villa after the rest of the cast voted them as the weakest couple.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Tonight&#8217;s action follows the news that one of Sean&#8217;s exes could enter the villa as a bombshell.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Goss.ie have reported that an ex-girlfriend of his has been &#8220;in talks&#8221; with producers on entering the villa.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">The showbiz outlet have reported that ITV producers are looking for ways to shake things up after Sean and Lola became an official couple just a few days into the show.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">According to reports, Fitzy&#8217;s ex has yet to agree to enter the villa.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Thursday night&#8217;s episode of Love Island got off to a frantic start following Wednesday&#8217;s cliffhanger end.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Wednesday&#8217;s action ended with bombshell Simba kissing Angelista which did not go down well with Ope.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Thursday&#8217;s episode picked up in the immediate aftermath which involved plenty of tense discussions and Fitzy was there to witness it all.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">The main focus was on Ope and Simba who were rowing over the kiss with Angelista.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Trying to explain the situation, Simba said: &#8220;It&#8217;s not even a looks thing, I just vibe with her more.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">To this Ope replied: &#8220;Of course it&#8217;s not looks bro I&#8217;m 10\/10.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">The cameras picked up Fitzy laughing at Ope&#8217;s comment and fans were quick to draw attention to his reaction.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">One viewer said: &#8220;fitzy laughing at ope calling himself 10\/10, he is MESSYYYYY.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Sean and his partner Lola are currently tipped as the favourites to win outright.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \"
