And that's it from me!

Thanks for reading - Love Island returns tomorrow night at 9pm on ITV2 and the ITV Hub.

EPISODE RECAP BELOW...

Luca and Gemma were at loggerheads, after she accidentally called him by her ex-boyfriend Jacques' names.

Luca was evidently not impressed as he replied: 'I know what she said', to which Amber responded: 'Jacques?'

Seeking forgiveness, Gemma then pulled Luca for a chat to discuss what just went down. 

Things turned heated when the international dressage rider shouted: 'Don't roll your eyes at me you p***k, it's a genuine mistake. I'm sorry, there's nothing more to it.'

The pair quite literally kiss and made up as they were spotted canoodling in bed later that evening.

Elsewhere, Tasha and Andrew were chosen by the other Islanders as the first couple to enjoy a romantic night in the hideaway, with Luca dropping off Tasha's cuddly toy Flat Ted. 

The morning after, Tasha told the girls that she had given real estate agent Andrew a 'manicure', while he remained coy to the boys - something he was branded a 'sweetheart' for. 

In other proceedings, Indiyah was having doubts about Ikenna. 

She said: 'I don't where things are going. I don't want to feel like I am talking to him for the sake of it. This is not normally feel when I meet someone.'

And another person having doubts, was Davide, as he seemed keen to take it slow.

Andrew gave Davide a pep talk, after he said he wants something deeper than attraction between him and Ekin-Su. 

But Ekin-Su already has had her head turned by new arrival Jay.

Setting her sights on the new boy, she tells the girls: 'The tall one that’s 28, he’s so cute. Yeah, I really like him. I’m getting to know him. I don’t give a f**k.'

Luca and Gemma were at loggerheads, after she accidentally called him by her ex-boyfriend Jacques' names.

Feeling the love for Dami!

It's almost that time...

This is your five minute warning!

20:52

Are you team #Ikenyah?

20:46
Relatable content alert!

We’re not all cut out to go on Love Island, as one viewer has hilariously made clear!

20:45
15 minutes to go...

Make yourself a cuppa and strap in.

20:42
Can’t wait for it to begin!

I can definitely relate to this. Do your evenings also revolve around Love Island?

20:39
Ekin-Su is on the prowl!

Viewers are living for Ekin-Su’s flirtatious movements in the villa! What do you think of her approach?

20:33
Has Tasha gone off Andrew?

Former Islander Chloe Burrows certainly thinks so. Do you think Tasha and Andrew will go the distance?

20:30

A second Love Islander has left the show – this time before even entering.

The Sun reports that male model Zach Hartman pulled out at the last minute - just four days after islander Liam Llewellyn sensationally quit.

Zach reportedly decided not to appear because he wanted to protect his modelling career, having posed for the likes of Jack Wills, Ralph Lauren and ASOS.

20:27
Luca Bish starter pack

Here’s everything you need to be our favourite fishmonger!

20:25
Davide the waiter!

Viewers can’t stop laughing at Davide Sanclimenti’s antics last night, when he interrupted Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Jacques’ flirting to bring them snacks and refreshments.

The Italian Stallion had repeatedly said that he did not care that his current partner was flirting with new arrival.

So, when the pair were getting comfortable later on, Davide decided to have a bit of fun and played waiter for the actress and rugby player.

As Ekin-Su was saying to Jacques that she would rather be in bed with him than with Davide, the man himself arrived with some crisps and drinks.

20:20

The Love Island hideaway is officially open for 2022, with Tasha Ghouri and Andrew Le Page the first couple picked to enjoy a private night together.

The couple will get hot and heavy in the boudoir as they were treated to a night without the interference of their fellow Islanders.

Cuddling up for a night of passion, talk soon turned to the couples' fantasies, before the pair threw themselves onto the rose petal strewn sheets for a make out session.

20:15

There seems to be trouble in paradise as Gemma Owen and Luca Bish get into a blazing row after she accidentally calls him by her ex-boyfriend Jacques name!

Shortly afterwards, Luca skulks off to the kitchen, with Gemma then asking her pals: 'That was bad wasn’t it?'

Seeking forgiveness, Gemma will then pull Luca for a chat to discuss what just went down.

But will Luca be able to forgive and forget? Or does this spell trouble for their relationship?

20:11
Two new Islanders enter the villa!

As one Islander leaves, two more enter! Jay Younger, 28, from Edinburgh and model Remi Lambert, 22, from Manchester will come into the villa tonight to shake things up in the villa. Who do you think they have their eye on?

20:07

While we are all eagerly awaiting the next episode, let’s take a look back at the last. The Islanders had to say goodbye to Afia Tonkmor after she was the first contestant to be dumped, when Jacques O’Neill chose to couple up with Paige Thorne.
