Eight things we learnt on day 40
Alexandra finally made her choice between the three boys at the recoupling and decided that Dr Alex was the man for her, making Idris and Kieran last in, first out of the villa. After waving goodbye, the Islanders spirits were lifted when Charlie made it official with Ellie. But things took a tense turn the next day when your mean tweets caused chaos among the Islanders, with both friendships and relationships put to the test yet again. Here's what we learnt on day 40.
1. Alex Squared is ON
She had a tough decision to make, but Alexandra followed her heart and coupled up with Alex, leaving Idris and Kieran dumped from the villa after nothing more than a brief mini break on the Island.
Discussing her choice, Alexandra told the Dr: “You were the only person that didn’t ask me what I was thinking. You weren’t trying to get inside my head… and that was really nice.”
Go on Dr Love!
2. Love is REALLY, REALLY in the air
The recoupling was a right old love in, and our Islanders are really starting to get deep, deep feels for each other."I do see a future with you," Sam revealed to Georgia, to which she responded: "What's better than your best mate being the person that you fancy and the person that you wanna kiss all the time?" Cute! Across the garden, Jack was getting teary as he told Dani: "You were exactly what I needed to meet at this point in my life.”
WE CAN'T HANDLE IT!
3. Operation Chellie gave us a fourth official couple - and one ruined lipstick
Jack and Dani were the first official boyfriend and girlfriend in the villa, but now the Islanders just can’t stop making their couples official. Charlie pulled Operation Chellie out of the bag (with the help of some Oscar-worthy performances from Jack, Wes and Alex) and Ellie sad YES to being his girlfriend - at the cost of one lipstick, and one white pair of jeans.
4. Why does love make everyone want to jump in the pool?
It doesn’t matter how long you stay in there guys, you cannot rid yourself of those awful past relationships...
5. The DBS is complete - BUT WHAT ABOUT THE MINUTES?
Alex has FINALLY become a fully fledged Level 4 member of the Do Bits Society after a night of kissing and strong cuddling with new girl Alexandra. With all of the villa boys now officially signed up, there’s no-one left to take the meeting minutes. We’re worried, guys. We’re really worried.
6. Purple is not Sam’s colour
You just can’t have it all.
7. This is the appropriate response when you find out Margot Robbie knows you exist
Oh hell, Alex!!
8. There’s nothing like a game of Twitter Bingo to make people question their relationships
There were plenty of awkward laughs as your mean tweets were revealed to the Islanders, but the villa was absolute carnage later that evening as people were called out all over the villa. Ellie and Charlie, Sam and Georgia, Laura and Kaz, and Josh, and Dani, and Jack... quick! Everybody jump back in the pool!
