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.

After the heartbreaking news that it is in fact not coming home, how better to cheer yourself up than a healthy dose of Love Island.

Pushed back to 10pm due to extra time in the England vs Croatia game, there was a lot that needed sorting in tonight's episode.

Tension filled the villa after new boy Idris told Laura the truth about Georgia and Jack's romantic moment.

Thankfully after some very awkward chats by the pool, it seems everyone has decided to let it go (Laura is fine. She's definitely fine everyone, OKAY?!).

New contestant Alexandra joined the line-up, taking Dr Alex and New Jack for some surprisingly successful dates, much to the annoyance of Laura (she is DEFINITELY STILL FINE).

But it was Megan and Wes that would end up being the star of tonight's show. The loved-up pair cemented their tumultuous relationship by branding each other boyfriend and girlfriend.

Oh yes, and Samira is still really sad about Frankie.

Follow our take on the villa drama as it happened.

Love Island continues weekdays and Sundays at 9pm on ITV2.

Idris and Kieran were the two new contestants to enter the villa last night. They've already caused a stir, with Kieran showing an interested in Kaz and Georgia, and Idris dropping Jack in it by revealing that he kissed Georgia. Tonight we'll see exactly how Laura took this earth-shattering news.

We have a new contestant to look forward to tonight! Social media is already imploding at the prospect of Alexandra arriving. How will we handle the suspense?

All systems go! We are live with ​Love Island.

Hearing the boys chanting and singing, constantly hyperactive and talking about sex; it must be quite tiring in this boarding school for aspiring models.

Lucy Anna Gray11 July 2018 22:03

This is the moment folks. Laura and Jack are having The Talk (very intentional capital letters there) about his attempt to kiss Georgia. All of which has been stirred up by new lad, Idris, it must be added.

So quick a divide has formed, New Boys vs. Old Boys. Back and forth, missed opportunities, good intentions but not the desired result...okay maybe we're still thinking about England vs. Croatia.

Lucy Anna Gray11 July 2018 22:06

All of the confrontations so far have been surprisingly cordial so far. It's Jack and Idris' turn now, let's see how this goes...

Jack and Idris have their show down over the LED table, blue under-lighting on their faces making this all the more tense. It's like the lowest budget Bond film of all time.

Megan and Wes cuddle up and talk about how completely besotted with each other they are, all accompanied by the rustle and squeak of sweaty thighs on dirty beanbags. So romantic.

Lucy Anna Gray11 July 2018 22:13

In case you missed the news, Love Island ​isn't going anywhere...
