Love Island 2023 kicked off on Monday, January 16 with 10 new contestants. Since the original coupling up ceremony, three new bombshells have joined the villa in the hopes of ruffling feathers.
A new recouping has already seen Tom Clare pick Olivia Hawkins, despite her being coupled up with Will Young. While Zara Deniz Lackenby-Brown and David Salako took Tanya Manhenga and Ron Hill on dates.
And in a first look at the epsiode set to air on Thursday, January 19, it looks like tensions are set to rise. In scenes set to air at 9pm, Tanyel Revan tells Kai Fagan she's not happy about him getting closer to Swansea contestant Anna-May Robey.
Although coupled up with Tanyel, Kai has also been getting to know Anna-May. Taking notice of this, Tanyel pulls Kai for a chat to which he asks: "What are you feeling about today?"

"You didn’t do anything wrong, but I actually got really jealous and I don’t like it," Tanyel replies, to which Kai says: "The fact that you’ve told me that you were jealous is the first intel that I’ve actually got that you actually like me."
Tanyel continues: "I know and this is what I wanted to talk to you about, it really annoyed me that you spoke to someone else, that obviously shows me that I like you…"
Following their conversation, Kai heads to the Beach Hut and says: "I think she’s realised that it’s not going to be as plain sailing as she thought it was gonna be, I think she’s realised that she actually really likes me."
However, later in the episode, Taneyl turns her attention to Ron and he asks her where her head is at. "Two can play that game, my top two would be you and Kai," she tells him.
Asking Tanyel about Kai, Ron says: “Are you telling me you’re bored of Kai now?” Tanyel replies: "No I didn’t say that…" Ron replies: "But you just want to spice things up a bit? Interesting."
Later in the Beach Hut Tanyel says: "I feel like Ron brings out a different side of me, maybe more of the feistier side which is probably better in some ways. I want to flirt with Ron all day and all night."
Elsewhere in the episode, Lana Jenkins and Ron discuss his date with bombshell Zara. Lana asks: "How was your date? Do you want to get to know her?"
Ron replies: "I think I’ll have conversations with her and get to know her, my head is where it was before, it’s just another girl’s been thrown in the mix to have conversations with and see if it’s better than what we have…"
And David grafts Tanya, despite her being coupled up with Shaq Muhammad. Following their date, the pair catch up and David compliments another one of Tanya's outfit choices.
Tanya says: "You’re going to get tired of telling me." David suggests: "No more compliments, just kisses." As they both laugh, David suggests: "For sure, it could happen tonight?"
David goes on to add: "I feel like we’ve got a connection now already…" For more showbiz and television stories get our newsletter here.
