New Love Island ‘bombshells’ Zara and Davide already shaking up the main villa

Love Island

“It’s game on!”

As new bombshells Zara and Davide join the other islanders in the main villa, they prepare to spend their first night there and of course – get grafting. Love Island is coming to a nice simmer.

But it seems that the newbies aren’t the only two to get their graft on in tonight’s episode as Tanyel has decided to switch up her couple. After her date with Ron, Zara asks Lana:

“So, how are things going with Ronnie?”

Lana replies: “We’ve had a good couple of days together, it’s so early to be honest, so fair game.”

Zara says: “Cool, I appreciate that to be fair because if you were like, ‘You know what, he’s mine paws off’ I’d be like, ‘Right, it’s game on.’”

Later in the evening, Lana decides to chat to Ron about the date, asking: “How was your date? Do you want to get to know her?”

Ron replies: “I think I’ll have conversations with her and get to know her, my head is where it was before, it’s just another girl’s been thrown in the mix to have conversations with and see if it’s better than what we have…”

Ron seems to be a popular man in the villa already as Tanyel now has eyes for him – but still has feelings for Kai.

As Kai is also getting to know Anna-May, he asks Tanyel: “What are you feeling about today?”

Tanyel replies: “You didn’t do anything wrong, but I actually got really jealous and I don’t like it.”

Kai replies: “The fact that you’ve told me that you were jealous is the first intel that I’ve actually got that you actually like me.”

Tanyel says: “I know and this is what I wanted to talk to you about, it really annoyed me that you spoke to someone else, that obviously shows me that I like you…”

Kai then says in the beach hut: “I think she’s realised that it’s not going to be as plain sailing as she thought it was gonna be, I think she’s realised that she actually really likes me.”

After this chat, Tanyel pulls Ron aside and he asks where her head is at, to which she replies: “Two can play that game, my top two would be you and Kai.”

Asking Tanyel about Kai, Ron says: “Are you telling me you’re bored of Kai now?” Tanyel replies: “No I didn’t say that…”

Ron replies: “But you just want to spice things up a bit? Interesting.” Later in the Beach Hut Tanyel says:

“I feel like Ron brings out a different side of me, maybe more of the feistier side which is probably better in some ways. I want to flirt with Ron all day and all night.”

BUT there’s even more grafting as David gets cracking on with Tanya following their date, which prompts Will to chat to Zara.

After David compliments her outfit, Tanya says: “You’re going to get tired of telling me.”

David suggests: “No more compliments, just kisses.” As they both laugh, David suggests: “For sure, it could happen tonight?”

David goes on to add: “I feel like we’ve got a connection now already…”

That evening, the islanders play beer pong and Tanyel is up first and is dared to snog the islander who is boyfriend material – but who will she choose?

Anna-May is dared to snog the Islander she fancies the most while Zara is dared to kiss both the cheeks of the Islander she thinks is the most two-faced.

David gets the chance to snog someone he fancies and Shaq gets to kiss someone in the place he himself most likes to be kissed.

*Love Island airs tonight at 9pm on Virgin Media Two and Virgin Media Player.
