Tonight’s Love Island<\/a> episode is set to be a whirlwind of drama as the repercussions from cocktail night unfold.<\/p>\n

In last night’s episode (June 7), the lads were given the chance to meet two new bombshells<\/a> for drinks outside the villa. They voted in favour of sneaking out to welcome the newcomers, with only Samraj<\/a> and Sean showing some reluctance about leaving their current partners on what was meant to be a group cocktail evening.<\/p>\n

Unbeknownst to the boys, the girls received a text revealing the boys’ plans. A massive screen was then installed in the villa, giving them a front row view to see how their partners behaved when they thought they weren’t being watched.<\/p>\n

Bombshells Namibia and Victoria had chosen several of the boys for one-on-one dates which will be aired during tonight’s show, with Ope’s date with Victoria especially likely to cause a stir.<\/p>\n

After sitting down with the bombshell, Ope kisses her hand before confessing his current pairing with Angelista is progressing very slowly. Victoria then probes him: “So you still haven’t had your first kiss?” to which Ope replies, “No, are you going to be my first kiss?”, reports OK!<\/a><\/p>\n

His audacious move leaves the girls back at the villa shocked, with Yasmin remarking: “I did not expect him to act like this,” as Angelista – already upset from his admission that he had a “wandering eye” – looks on.<\/p>\n

Upon their return to the villa, the lads quickly realise they’ve been under surveillance after spotting the large screen. Ope tries to engage Angelista in a conversation, but she rebuffs his advances.<\/p>\n

The frosty exchange between Ope and Angelista isn’t the only tense moment tonight, as Jasmine is also left fuming by what she has witnessed. She tells one Islander: “A bunch of you acted like boys, and a bunch of you acted like men.”<\/p>\n

Aidan, who boasted about being in a “sandwich” with Ellie and Yasmin, is also called out for his comments. Ellie tells him: “This is to clear stuff up for Yas,” adding: “I feel like you’re saying one thing to me and one thing to her, and it’s not fair.”<\/p>\n

Aidan accuses Ellie of causing trouble, telling her: “I think it’s pretty clear what’s going on,” as Ellie retorts: “Why are you coming vexed at me? Because I’ll just come back to you with the same energy.”<\/p>\n

Love Island continues tomorrow at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The fallout from cocktail night is set to unfold during tonight’s episode of Love Island, but Ope’s behaviour…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":466947,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[156,15193,111,139,69,437],"class_list":["post-466946","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-entertainment","tag-love-island","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/466946","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=466946"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/466946\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/466947"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=466946"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=466946"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=466946"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
