Love Island's Olivia Hawkins teases return as bombshell and fan's reactions are mixed

Love Island viewers were left utterly cringing over an awkward date blunder between Leah Taylor and new bombshell Montel McKenzie during tonight's instalment, June 21.The episode began with newcomers Montel, a semi-professional footballer from East London, and Edinburgh-born Mal Nicol, both 25, introducing themselves to Leah, Sammy Root, 22, Mitchel Taylor, 26, and Jess Harding, 22. But as Leah excitedly sat down to have her first date with account manager Montel, the pair unfortunately clashed.

Love Island fans are convinced they've worked out Mitchel Taylor's "secret plan to stay in the villa", and it doesn't look good for Jess Harding. The 26 year old islander has had it tough this summer already, after initially coupling up with Molly Marsh, 21, and falling head over heels for the blonde stunner almost immediately.

With week three in the Love Island villa now in full swing, the Islanders were once again pulled from their comfort zones on Tuesday night’s episode, when a surprise appearance from Maya Jama saw the couples asked to decide who they felt was the least compatible at this stage of the competition. In a further twist, the Islanders were later summoned to the fire-pit where they would be required to reveal their decision to the whole villa, with more than a few tensions being raised among previously solid friendships as a result of the brutal decision making.

Former Love Island star Olivia Hawkins has revealed that Islanders change their own bedsheets on their time off, as she dished behind-the-scenes secrets of life in the villa. OK!'s weekly Love Island columnist, who appeared on the winter series earlier this year, described the 'military operation' of the show and its contestants, with strict rules to ensure all of the drama was caught on camera.

Love Island fans have been left confused after finding out that islanders André Furtado and Mehdi Edno had a close friendship.

Love Island has dumped two more stars from the island in a shocking dumping tonight, Friday 16 June, as André Furtado and Charlotte Sumner were sent home. The announcement was made after a week of drama and rows between the rest of the islanders, including the most recent confrontation between Mitchel Taylor, 26, and Sammy Root, 22 over the former's handling of his decision to make a move on Jess Harding, also 22.

Love Island bosses are continuing to shake things up in the villa and fans are thrilled by all the drama so far, despite the show only being in its second week.

As day five of Love Island drew to a close, fans of the show hit out at the latest series of the ITV2 dating show as they insisted it focused too much on one contestant, Molly Marsh. For the past few nights, Molly has dominated much of the coverage since the series kicked off on day one, with several of the Islanders having admitted she was their “number one” in the villa.

Three days into this year’s series of Love Island, fans of the show have dubbed it 'London Island'. Noticing that the bulk of the summer 2023 stars so far seemed to hail from London and the surrounding areas, many fans couldn’t resist calling out the show as they asked “Where are the farmers?” The main argument stemmed from the fact that there were plenty of London accents on offer this year, but a distinct lack of regional flair from the majority of the Islanders. Although we know so far there are contestants hailing from outside the capital, many fans had been hoping for a more varied set of accents among the lovelorn hopefuls.
