Charlie and fellow newbie Josh Denzel tip-toed into the villa before any of the Islanders had woken up, and went to soak up some rays by the pool.

Spotting him from the balcony with just a view of his back, Samira immediately said Charlie was her type because he’s blonde.

In the Beach Hut, Samira later explained: "So, I know Charlie. I think we matched on a dating app.

"We texted, and then we just never met up and never spoke more. Yeah, it's really strange seeing him in the flesh."

Speaking on a live link on Love Island: Aftersun, Charlie told Caroline Flack: "She slid in the DMs a couple of times... I mean, I think it was a double text and that was it." He also admitted that he didn’t reply.
