There was a dramatic cliffhanger ending to Friday night's Love Island as newcomer Danica Taylor was asked to choose her partner on the ITV reality show. After less than 24 hours in the famous TV villa set in Mallorca Danica had the pick of the boys as they lined up around the fire pit, and one is set to go home after being left single.
In details shared by show bosses about tonight's episode (Sunday June 19), Danica makes her decision. And following the previous night’s recoupling the Islanders are relaxing in the garden when the dancer receives a text revealing today she’ll be going on a date with the boy she’s chosen to couple up with.
Viewers will have to wait until tonight to find out who that is. But the newly-formed couple make their way to the beach as they enjoy a romantic shoreside setting complete with picnic blanket and drinks.
Speaking on the date, Danica says: “Honestly, this is probably the second genuine date I think I’ve been on.” And her date replies: “Wow, pleasure.” He then goes on to add: “I am sure a lot of boys would want to kiss you.” And Danica questions: “Kisses on first dates?”
Danica's arrival was revealed during Friday night's episode during a racy segment called Sex-Sea. In a water-theme game, which saw the girls compete for the 'sexiest dancer' crown she emerged from a giant pink shell. Later, after Danica spent some time around the pool getting to know her potential matches, there was a shock as the Islanders were told there would be a re-coupling.
A stunned Danica, 21, was told to choose which boy she wanted to couple up with in the ITV dating contest. The episode ended with Danica being given the first pick despite hardly having time to speak with everyone properly.
In tense scenes she gave her reasons as to why she was choosing that boy. Danica said: "I've decided to couple up with this boy. I have not even been here 24 hours so this is a really weird situation for me to be in.
"I've barely got to know any of you. You're all lovely boys, but I didn't come in here to play safe. I need to sort-of follow of my heart.
"I can kind of only go on what I can see at face value and somebody who I feel like is usually my type. I need to explore that unfortunately so I'm going to have to follow my heart on this one. The boy that I want to couple up with is..."
Fans have predicted that Danica may choose to couple up with Luca Bish, who is currently coupled-up with Gemma Owen. Some viewers think either Davide Sanclimenti, who has dumped his partner in the villa Eki-Su Cülcüloğlu after funding out she kissed newcomer Jay Younger, or Remi Lambert who will be left single.
Love Island airs tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITV Hub.
