Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Love Island continued tonight as viewers saw the fallout of the reality series' surprise arrival of three new contestants that made good on its promise to shake things up.

The dissolution of Hayley and Eyal is a distant memory following the arrival of Megan who, despite expressing initial interest in a rather excited Dr Alex, ended up smooching Eyal on their first date together.

Samira, who had gone a full week without a date, got not one but two tonight as she got to know Josh and Charlie a little better despite reserving her interest for the latter as it emerged they have previous chatting on dating apps before the series began.

This wasn't bad news for Josh who has his eye on Hayley - but not before rubbing Wes up the wrong way by selecting Laura as his first date. It seems the game is never far from any of these contestants' minds

Slowly but surely, the fourth series is taking shape.

You can follow along with our reaction LIVE below.

Love Island continues weekday nights on ITV2 at 9pm.

*Samira is on a date* klaxon (with Charlie whose DMs she once slid into, apparently)

For those who were wondering, Hayley had a great sleep on the sofa *without* Eyal. Oh, and they've cleared the air and are now friends

*whispers* boring

Kristin Hugo11 June 2018 21:26

So, the next round of dates are...

Josh and Hayley

Charlie and Georgia

Megan and Eyal (nope, not Dr Alex)

  ↵Twitter has noticed some double standards 

Kristin Hugo11 June 2018 21:28

Yeah, to be fair I'd be in desperate need of Piriteze sat on the field these guys are having their dates on

Kristin Hugo11 June 2018 21:34

Eyal and Megan just kissed and the world is not happy (read: I am not happy. How have I got so into this show having watched my first ever episode just one week ago...)

Kristin Hugo11 June 2018 21:37

The next dates are

Samira and Josh

Alex and Megan

Charlie and Hayley

Kristin Hugo11 June 2018 21:39

Woah, Jack gives *intense* pep talks. Not sure that was exactly helping poor Alex

Kristin Hugo11 June 2018 21:39

'attractive, womanly, beautiful hair' - keep the kitchen sink away from Alex

Kristin Hugo11 June 2018 21:41

So, where do we stand after that extremely odd triple dating scenario? Josh his a fan of Hayley and Megan likes Eyal (boo)
