Well, would you look at that – the universe is a confirmed member of #TeamDamiAndIndiyah! Monday night’s episode of Love Island opened up the possibility of the Dublin scientist and the London-based hotel waitress exploring a romance. Yet, in their way stood a rather sizeable obstacle – the existence of Amber and Ikenna. How could they pursue their newly acknowledged spark in peace, potentially betraying their best pals in the villa? Within minutes of Tuesday’s episode, the problem is solved: we find out that Ikenna and Amber received the fewest votes from the public, so have to leave the island immediately. It’s a bittersweet moment, as it’s clear that both were popular among the cast, and will be missed.
Though tears are shed, their departure leaves Dami and Indiyah officially single and free to frolic – but they at least spend the night in mourning before making heart eyes at each other. Tasha and Andrew, who were also on the dumping line, admit that they both would have left the villa if the other had been eliminated. Elsewhere, the other couple at risk of leaving, Ekin-Su and Jay, have a similar chat. “It actually made me feel as if I had genuine feelings towards you, because I was like, ‘If Ekin goes, I would go,’” Jay tells her. However, his romantic declaration begins to feel much shakier as the episode progresses. Late at night, Ekin-Su whispers: “Would you wait for me on the outside?”. Jay’s response is less than encouraging: “Let’s take it one day at a time.” Dear Ekin-Su, this relationship is in trouble.
