Love Island: Eyal falls out with boys over 'scheme' to keep him from Megan
Has the latest villa drama ended a blossoming bromance?
There's trouble in paradise for new couple Eyal and Megan – although it's not relationship problems but a violation of the bro code that's sent Eyal reeling. The model's been mugged off, after boys Adam and Charlie hatched a plan to give Dr Alex a chance with Megan. To do so, they pulled Eyal to one side to chat about stars and the universe – Eyal's favourite topic. View oEmbed on the source website But while things got deep, Alex was putting it on Megan, who confessed her head was all over the place about her decision in the recoupling. Poor girl, torn between a doctor and model, who'd want that? Fighting over the new girl once more, tonight's episode sees Eyal have a heated chat with Alex, asking for a chance with Megan because he "worked hard" to get her. Which leads us to wonder – is spending two days chatting a girl up 'working hard?' He tells Alex: "I'm not getting angry you've just f***ed me off". Love Island bosses reveal why they no longer send celebrities into the villa 8 questions you will have while watching Love Island – answered Stay up to date with the RadioTimes.com newsletter But Alex is having none of Eyal's tantrum, telling him "you're not letting me speak." It seems the doctor is finally standing up for himself and viewers will be delighted. Eyal confesses to the beach hut: “I just feel like Alex owed it to me to come and speak to me. He’s just gone behind my back and not given me the opportunity to have my moments with her, you know. He owes me the respect to come and say it to me before he goes and does it.” Eyal must have a poor memory – seeing as he kissed Megan without Alex knowing just the day before.

Eyal tries to hide his anger with a smile, but there's a reason he's a model and not an actor. Taking the boys back to the spot where they "mugged him off" Eyal preaches the bro code to a nervous looking Adam and Charlie, while the other boys look on, blissfully unaware. Have Alex's actions called a day to a budding bromance? Or will Eyal forgive and forget – like the villa girls have already? Maybe he'll meditate his anger away.

Love Island's Laura confronts Adam about his muggy behaviour
Adam's in for a telling off as he upsets another villa girl
Love Island fans are still reeling after last night’s explosive episode which saw Rosie call out Adam's muggy behaviour. And now, another islander is getting on his case when Laura decides to confront the Love Island lothario on Wednesday night's show. Who’s going to be in the new series of Love Island? Love Island’s Niall Aslam has left the villa RadioTimes.com newsletter: get the latest TV and entertainment news direct to your inbox View oEmbed on the source website The previous night, talking behind Rosie’s back, Adam had confessed to finding the Welsh solicitor materialistic and clingy. Ouch – that’s got to hurt. Chatting about the night’s drama the next day, Laura, Megan and Samira agree they've gone off personal trainer Adam, even if they do like watching him work out. Laura says: “He doesn’t in my eyes really deserve the chance to have any beautiful girl pine after him because I just feel like he’s probably gone through his whole life having that.” And new girl Megan admits: “Deep in my heart I don’t think he’s a nice person.” Viewers couldn't agree with you more, Megan. Anyway, 29-year-old Laura decides to take matters into her own hands and pulls Adam to one side for a chat. View oEmbed on the source website He tells her: “As soon as I actually start to like someone I get the fear. I just don’t let people in that well but I feel like now that I’ve done this it’s made me realise that I probably do like her. ” He's certainly got a funny way of showing it, no? And we bet this has nothing to do with the fact a recoupling is imminent... Sharing her words of wisdom with the 22-year-old islander, Laura says: “I just want you to realise, with Kendall as well as Rosie now, they are both really good girls, they really liked you, obviously they wouldn’t pine after you in that way and forgive you if they didn’t.” She added: “I just want you to have a bit of a kick up the arse. "It’s fine if you decide then that you don’t like Rosie, you don’t have to like everyone but it’s just these girls have feelings as well and the way that you’ve acted is just stupid and you don’t need to be like that… "You don’t want to be with someone who is insecure, you’ve already said that, but your actions are making girls insecure. Just take some responsibility.” But will a telling off change Adam's antics? Or is this just the second in his string of villa girls? Rosie confesses to the Beach Hut: “It’s easy to forgive something, it’s not always easy to forget.” Don’t worry Rosie, the viewers won’t.

Love Island new girl Megan torn between Eyal and "proper man" Alex
Megan looked set to couple up with Eyal but she can't stop thinking about the villa's dreamy doctor
After Eyal cock-blocked the doc, viewers thought it was over for Alex – but new girl Megan is less set than it seems on who she's going to go for. After having a cheeky kiss on their date and then again in the villa, Megan and Eyal looked ready to couple up. The model pair clearly have chemistry but in Tuesday night's show Megan's head seems all over the place. View oEmbed on the source website In an attempt to weigh up body over brains, Megan chats to Eyal, confessing: "It’s odd knowing how to play it. Everyone’s like ‘what’s happening with you?’ I don’t know, it’s so early.” Careful Megan, don't let Hayley hear you call it a 'game' she might lose it again. What secret is Adam about to have exposed on Love Island? Love Island’s Hayley asks “what’s an earlobe?” during raunchy game of dares Stay up to date with the RadioTimes.com newsletter View oEmbed on the source website But Eyal is in agreement, calling their moment "just a kiss." He adds: "This is what I tried to tell people in here. I’m just here to see what happens. You’re hot, you’ve got great lips so I thought ‘why not?’” You're right Eyal, this is Love Island after all. Megan tells the beach hut: "Things with Eyal are good. In the game we kissed and stuff but it’s still early days. I don’t want to put all my eggs in one basket and just write off everyone else because I don’t know. There’s other guys. Alex… I want the chance to talk to him today, and hopefully see how it is. See if we have a better vibe, if it’s more natural.” View oEmbed on the source website With poor Megan unable to make up her mind, even super chill Eyal is struggling: "‘I don’t know how Megan feels about me and I’ve learnt not to jump to any conclusions in the villa. But maybe she’s into me. You never know." She did look pretty into that kiss... but Megan tells the girls she is still stuck between the boys: "I’ve always gone for the same type of guy based on looks or really shallow reasons." The model added: "Alex is a proper man. I like that." Maybe there is hope for the doctor after all. Megan, if you think "Alex is such a beautiful person” please pick him to couple up with, do it for the viewers. Let's hope the doctor's finally in for romance.

Love Island's Dani compares herself to Meghan Markle as she shares first kiss with Jack
Dani decides to "give it a chance" with Jack in tonight's episode
It seems Dani is royally loved up with pen salesman Jack – finally – as the pair share a kiss in tonight’s episode of Love Island. After all the will-they-won’t-they, Danny Dyer’s daughter decides to give Jack another go, putting the revelation he’s cheated on all his exes to the back of her mind. According to 21-year-old Dani, it’s what her Nan would want – she’d say "what are you doing Dan, stop being a div.” Good advice, Nan. How to vote on Love Island Love Island is back and I’m powerless to the pull of this muggy, melty TV gold Love Island producers saw over 1,000 hopefuls – this is what they’re looking for View oEmbed on the source website But there’s trouble in paradise with a recoupling – and a dumping – on the cards. Hayley and Dani had decided to swap their friend-zoned boys, but the latter's reunion with Jack leaves the Liverpudlian model vulnerable. Given that she can’t remember Eyal’s name, ending things was probably the right thing to do – even if it leads to her leaving the villa. Dani prepares for an awkward conversation, but Hayley is relatively accommodating. “If she genuinely feels them feelings and she feels like she’s being genuine to herself then yeah I believe she should give it a go. Why not?” she says in the Beach Hut. Although her facial expression suggests otherwise... With the crisis averted, Dani and Jack have a chat in the garden where Jack opens up about his feelings: "This is the happiest I've felt since I've been here. I promise you. Jokes aside. I feel like a weight's been lifted. I do, I honestly do." View oEmbed on the source website And then the two celebrate with a cheeky kiss, prompting cheers from their delighted fellow islanders. Dani is clearly over the moon: “We had a kiss and I felt like I just got married! Like when Meghan walked down the aisle and got married and that, I feel like that was me and everyone was cheering. It was lovely.” Jack can hardly contain his enthusiasm either: “I tell you what, I’m like a Cheshire cat, I can’t stop smiling. It just felt nice and natural. I’m really happy and I’m excited now.” The Love Island Villa isn’t quite Windsor, but whatever makes you happy Dani. She’ll have to get her Dad on the phone to St. George's Chapel ASAP.

Love Island's Wes snogs Laura – but says it's not 'Loyalty Island' when new girls enter the villa
Is Wes set to snake poor Laura in favour of the new arrivals?
Love Island's Wes and Laura get cosy under the covers in tonight's episode, with things stepping up a gear when the pair share a cheeky snog under the duvet. Wes even says Laura “ticks every box” for him, and the pair seem smitten. But all is not rosy in Waura (or Les?) world when two bombshell girls drop into the villa and news of the arrivals seems to have changed his mind. Things are about to get snakey, people.

As they walk in, Wes says: “We’re on f***ing Love Island, it’s not f***ing Loyalty Island. We’re here to find the girl of our dreams, not stick with the girl we’ve been partnered with from the start. That’s the point of it.” Changed your tune, much?! From the terrace, just out of earshot, blissfully ignorant Laura asks "why’s [Wes] got a shirt on?’"and sounds annoyed at her other half (has she already forgotten what went on when Adam first walked in?!). All the Love Island girls look uncomfortable, each craning their necks to see who plans to steal their other half. Samira gets especially green-eyed when she finds out that Georgia is a drama student. "Now I feel jealous, I feel weird," she says. "I hope she wasn’t on the West End.” “She’s ballsy. She would nick your man," she continues. "She would take him from your table and buy him a drink.” Crikey. However, Samira does speak for them all when she says of the whole evening: "I don’t like this, I don’t like this at all." Sign up for the free RadioTimes.com newsletter
This is why Love Island's Jack Fincham has been liking Dani Dyer's Instagram photos
Fans were left confused when they noticed Jack had interacted with some of Dani's pics - despite seemingly not knowing who she was.
Eagle-eyed Love Island viewers have noticed some suspicious activity on Jack Fincham’s Instagram account this week. The pen salesman from Kent had seemingly hit 'like' on numerous pictures of 21-year-old Dani Dyer, who he coupled up with in the show's first episode and seemingly had never laid eyes on before. So how has he been liking her pics? ITV have explained just what's going on.

ITV said: “Jack's social media accounts are being looked after by friends and family, and have been since he went into lock down. "We have spoken to them and they have actually liked some of Dani's historical posts since it was made public that she was going on the show." Photos that earned an Insta heart from the Fincham family include a snap of Dani in a white bikini, and another showing her dressed in a strappy bralette for a night on the town.

One such revelation was that the villa’s favourite pen salesman had cheated on not one, but all of his former girlfriends. View oEmbed on the source website Despite “clumsy” Jack protesting he had only had two relationships, Dani was not impressed. The revelation left her in tears, asking the girls why she always gravitates towards bad boys, and made her the second girl to cry on the show after Kendall Rae-Knight.

Love Island viewers are doubting whether Niall is a true Harry Potter fan
Niall rates his "chat" but if only he could obliviate this mistake
Niall Aslam won over Love Island viewers with his Harry Potter puns but he’s “muggled” himself off with last night’s blunder. Viewers expected the “tanned Harry Potter” to have a better grasp of the wizarding world, given his tattoo and admiration for The Boy Who Lived. But his mispronunciation of "patronus" as "patronium" was more offensive than Umbridge’s wardrobe.

Tuesday's episode saw the villa's single man, Adam Collard, couple up with Kendall Rae-Knight, leaving heart broken Niall all alone. As the new couple set off for their candlelit date, Niall offended the Potter fandom by suggesting he’d conjure a patronus to attack Adam. View oEmbed on the source website Eagle eyed viewers were quick to point out Niall’s succession of mistakes: the patronus spell is not used to attack and under no circumstances is it pronounced ‘patronium’. Thankfully, Niall is safe from the Twitter storm in Love Island's Mallorca villa, or else he’d need the cloak of invisibility to get himself out of this one.
