Friday (17 June) night’s episode featured an explosive fight between Davide and Ekin-Su.
The episode opened by teasing the arrival of new bombshell Danica Taylor, who will be joining the other islanders in the villa.
She entered during the “Sex-Sea” challenge and said that she had her eyes on Jacques and Luca.
Danica hails from Leicester and works as a dancer, specialising in Latin dancing. The 21-year-old has just finished studying at university and says that, after being single for a year, she’s ready to settle down.
She describes herself as an extrovert and says she isn’t afraid to step on anyone’s toes.
“I don’t really see competition,” she said. “I am a very self assured girl, I know myself, I know what I bring to the table and there are stunning girls in that Villa but I back myself.
“There’s obviously going to be competition because there are guys in there that I like that are already interested in other girls but I have no fear that I won’t be able to turn heads and I am happy to step on a few toes.”
As for the dreaded “ick”, Danica has no time for unhygienic people. However, she said: “I am not really an icky person, I either like you or I don’t. If I like you, I just accept you for who you are.”

Love Island continues Sunday at 9pm on ITV.
