Laura and Jack discuss kiss with Georgia

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.

Another day dawns in the villa. So another day of straightening hair, lifting weights, and painstakingly dissecting that same kiss. You can feel the hysteria starting to settle in...

And we have a text! Dr Alex (or Aw Poor Dr Alex as he is formally known) has a date. No, not with one of the girls in the villa, they have all made it abundantly clear they'd rather sleep in the bug-filled pool than in his bed, but with new contestant Alexandra.

Jack, a human labrador, giving Dr Alex tips on being "smouldering" is just too superb. Talk about the blind leading the blind.

Alexandra makes it clear she is not an Alex. Phew, that could've got confusing.

SoĀ Dr Alex and Alexandra are having their very polite date in what looks like a small carpark.

And with the clink of plastic champagne glasses filled with sun-warmed orange juice, the date is over. Dr Alex returns to hoots of praise - presumably for managing to not spill his orange juice on that blindingly white t-shirt - and Alexandra is left to wait in the carpark.

And we have date number two. Who's next in the carpark of dreams?

Lucy Anna Gray11 July 2018 22:29

Yes Laura, it's true, yet again you're having your date, Jack, snatched away from you. I think Laura and Dr Alex should just accept this is going to continually happen to them and couple up.

Terrifying Laura forces Jack to get changed for his date with Alexandra so he doesn't look as good. Thank god he changed that pale blue button-up shirt for a...pale blue button-up shirt. She'll never fancy him now.

Laura turns to Dani Dyer for some comfort, but she has no time for that nonsense. It's been two weeks mate, get over it.
