9 things we learnt from last night's show
Where do we begin? From the gorgeous new South African villa, to the 12 sexy singletons that entered it, the excitement was next level last night as we watched the Islanders set sights on each other for the very first time. Here’s a roundup of what we learnt on day one...
1. Siânnise Fudge doesn’t like fudge
Despite what her surname may suggest, Siânnise actually doesn’t like fudge - and she’s not afraid who knows it!
After introducing herself to the girls in the brand-spanking new villa, beauty consultant Siânnise quickly informed the Islanders that she is definitely not a fan of the creamy chocolate that she shares a name with.
2. Leanne has never been in love
We love that Laura Whitmore went straight in with the big questions when it came to chatting to the girls before the boys arrived. Who’s got time for small talk nowadays anyway? Not Laura, that’s for sure.
When asked if she’d ever been in love, customer service advisor Leanna was totally transparent when she replied: “Nope never, not even a little bit! I’ve got a phobia - but I’m here to cure it!”
Here’s hoping we’re about to get a front row seat to watch Leanne fall in love for the first time EVER.
3. No one fancied Nas or his floral swim shorts
As if having zero girls step forward for him wasn’t bad enough, Nas took a second blow when Siânnise confessed that his swim shorts were part of the reason she didn’t couple up with him. Savage!
Despite the shade thrown, Nas picked Siânnise to couple up with and they became our first couple of Love Island 2020!
Laura shouted from the sideline: “Just make him change shorts - then you’re fine!” Could it really be this simple? Time will tell...
4. Shaughna has a thing for scaffolders
What are the chances that you fly all the way to South Africa in the hopes of finding your perfect man, and you end up in a couple with someone that has the exact same job as your ex?
When bonding with Callum on the beanbags, Shaughna couldn’t hide her shock when he revealed he’s a scaffolder - just like her ex boyfriend!
Instead of dwelling on the negative, she simply asked him: “So are you good with your hands?”
5. The girls can’t believe Mike is a police officer
Squeals erupted around the daybeds when Leanne revealed that her new partner in crime, Mike is actually a police officer.
Siânnise’s comment was our personal fave: “What like, he wears the suit and everything?” The uniform you mean? Yes, Siânnise.
6. Paige doesn’t like labels
The Islanders have only been in the villa one day and already they’re talking about the fact they could be leaving with a boyfriend or girlfriend… We LOVE it!
Paige however doesn’t quite share our enthusiasm for a relationship status, as she confessed: “I struggle with putting a label to it! It’s always me that tends to have like, the commitment issues.”
7. Siânnise is slightly obsessed with Disney
Siânnise is a girl after our own hearts. She only been in the villa one day and already she’s likened two of the Islanders to Disney characters - Nas to Alladin and Ollie to John Smith (the explorer from Pocahontas - it’s niche, we know).
Anyone else excited to hear who she matches up next?
8. Sophie loves Connor’s laugh
We can’t tell if that’s sparks flying between Sophie and Connor or tears from her laughing so much! These two look like they’re seriously hitting it off and we are here for it.
Chatting later in the Beach Hut about her time with Connor so far, Sophie said: “ I feel like Connor has this laugh where it actually kills me!”
9. Jess and Eve have the same taste in men
Bombshells, Jess and Eve share more than the same genes and we can’t wait to see what drama their arrival will bring to the villa!
Which boys do they have their eyes on? And how will they decide who gets who? We are SO ready to watch this play out.
