Love Island is heating up – with talks of babies on the outside world.
Just minutes after India Reynolds was dumped from the villa, becoming the first Islander to leave, her partner, Scott Thomas appeared to have moved on pretty quickly. During the recoupling, Tina Stinnes, who appeared on series two with Scott decided to couple up with the Manchester-born businessman in a decision which rocked the South African villa.
This meant that India Reynolds was sent packing. But it appears that Scott didn’t seem too upset by Tina’s decision. In a first look at Monday night’s episode, Scott and Tina are already talking about life outside of the villa. “I just had to do what was right and if I hadn’t picked you I would have definitely regretted it,” she told him.
Scott responded: “I’m glad you picked me because it would be strange not to explore it.” But just hours after the dumping, the couple went on to share their love languages, with Tina saying hers are “touch and small things,” as well as “thoughtfulness,” this resonated with Scott who responded: “Mine is words of affirmation.”
It didn’t take long for the conversation to heat up though, as bombshell Tina revealed: “I want lots of kids, I’m born to be a mum.” Clearly interested, Scott replied: “Yo’’re saying all the right things, I want someone who’s got that nurturing side to them.” However, things didn’t appear to be going to plan for Luca Bish, who had also expressed an interest in Tina upon her arrival into the villa.
“It’s India’s night, there’s no point in me sitting here being upset,” Luca said during a chat with Kaz Crossley. Meanwhile, Catherine added: “You basically said none of us were your type!” “I don’t think that’s a problem, do you? If you met seven people and didn’t fancy them?” replied Ronnie.
But Ekin-Su and Curtis were on hand to comfort an emotional Luca. “You’re doing great, I promise you,” the Celebrity Big Brother personality said as Luca opened up. He went on to add: “It feels so different to the last time.” But Ekin was on hand to offer words of encouragement, saying: “You’re a much better version of you than you were before I promise you. You’re genuine, not leading anyone on and going with how you want to feel.”
However, there was one more bombshell in store for the Islanders, the arrival of Grace and Ron. “I’m excited, I feel back at home,” Grace exclaimed when asked how she felt about being back in the villa. Meanwhile, Ron said: “I feel like everyone’s not quite locked off, but that’s my job to make sure you boys don’t have it easy in here… We’re here to break that up aren’t we, Grace?”
She later takes Casey O’Gorman aside for a chat, adding that he gives a “really good vibe.” “In here it’s not about the looks, everyone’s got that, it’s all about getting to know them. I can’t close myself off this early,” the love rat responded. And it appears Ron is hellbent on breaking up couples as he made his feelings towards Gabby very clear.
He said: “I want a nice girl… Sexy energy, you need to be able to look at them and go ‘I want to pick you up and take you to bed’, you’re 5’2, fine to pick up!” But could a romance be on the cards after Gabby revealed that Casey hadn’t yet picked her up? Only time will tell.
In true Ron style, he wasn’t holding back as he aired his views on Elma and Ronnie, telling her: “Cause I guess after the reaction to Ronnie’s kiss… I think you’ve met a bloke for a couple of days and all of a sudden you’re ‘wifed off’.” This, however, didn’t go down too well with Ron telling Elma she needs to “open” herself up, teasing: “You need to realise this dashing young man has walked into the door.” But will she listen to his advice?
Tensions are set to rise in the villa after a task sees the Islanders hand out a bunch of sashs that are emblazoned with certain words. Casey gives Ronnie a sash with the word “Heartbreaker” across it, while Elma gives Ekin-Su one reading “Sexy.” Elsewhere, Kaz hands “Loyal” to Curtis.
But, it was Marcel who shook things up, handing Kaz one which said: “Self-absorbed.” Hitting back, she fumed: “If everyone in here is not for themselves then you’re in here for the wrong reasons, so if that makes me self-absorbed I’ll take it.”
