LOVE ISLAND TONIGHT: SUNDAY 29 JANUARY 2023

ZARA AND TOM CHAT

Following the game of balloon dares, Zara tells the girls how she felt about Tom’s choices, including picking Olivia’s face, her body and Lana’s personality to make up his ‘ideal’ partner.

Speaking about the various kisses and choices that took place in the game, Zara says: “All the girls picked Tom…”

Jessie insists to Zara: “Tom’s been really good to you.” Tanyel adds: “He’s into you - he doesn’t want drama.” But Zara replies: “Picking Liv’s face… I’m not just a booty.”

Chatting the next day at the mini fire pit Zara tells Tom: “I wish things had gone differently.” Tom admits: “This is meant to be the honeymoon stage.” Is this the end or the couple or can they find a way to get romance back on the cards?

JESSIE LETS WILL KNOW WHAT’S ON HER MIND

Also catching up after the game of balloon dares, Jessie has some questions for Will about his reaction to bombshell Ellie popping one on him.

Jessie tells Will: “Your reaction to the popping the balloon thing, I wasn’t angry but I was like ‘Oh, you rolling your eyes back into your head was a little bit much.’”

Will questions: “Did I? Did I?” Jessie replies: “Yeah, you were a little bit dramatic with that.” Will tells Jessie: “Ok sorry, I’d like to apologise because I’m a bit of a showman.” Can Jessie accept Will’s apology?

ELLIE’S ‘ON JOB’

Ellie is spending her morning grafting, speaking separately with Will she tells him: “I’m excited for today.” Will asks: “Are you bang ‘on job’?”

Ellie tells him: “I’m ‘bang on job’, I’ve literally only had my coffee and I’m like, ‘Who’s about?’” She adds: “I feel like me and Tom have good chat…”

Will adds: “I think there's already cracks there for you to slither into.” Ellie jokingly adds: “It’s still early days, shall I just snog everyone today?” Heading over to Tom as he works out, he asks Ellie: “Do I make you a bit flustered?” Ellie admits: “You do, you definitely do.”

Tom asks Ellie: “Do you like spending time with me?” Ellie replies: “100 %, you’re not bad to look at either, you’ve got really good eye contact as well, it makes me nervous, you’ve got really nice eyes...” Is this the start of a new connection? And how will others in the Villa feel?

THE BOYS RECEIVE A TEXT

As the Islanders all get ready for the evening, the boys receive a text that causes lots of excitement. The text reads: “Boys, grab a drink and head to the sundeck to meet Samie #HappyHour #GetOnJob.”

Hearing them cheer from their dressing room, Jessie asks: “What are they doing?”. Lana questions: “What’s going on? What if they’ve got a text?” Lana’s suspicions prove to be right as new bombshell Samie makes her way into the Villa…

Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
