Love Island Episode 18 (ITV2 Friday 3 February, 2023)

Today Friday 3 February, 2023, there is a new episode of Love Island.

Tonight’s episode sees the villa residents surprised by the the return of host Maya Jama, that can only mean news of some kind. “Hello lovelies! Surprise, did you miss me?” said Maya and then tells everyone to meet by the fire pit. “I’m sure you’re all wondering why I’m here… you have definitely been a busy bunch. Well, I’ve got some very important news.” But what news?

Meanwhile the fall out from the kissing challenge continues as Shaq wants clarity from Tanya on why she went all out saying “I get it’s a game but I felt like you thought winning the challenge was more important than respecting me.”

“I just want to understand where this is coming from, because I don’t understand, you’re all mine and I’m all yours. I only want you, I don’t care about anyone else,” says Tanya. “I understand why you felt the way you did but it was not my intention to make you feel that way, I’m sorry for not understanding you earlier, I get it now.”

Elsewhere Tom lays it on the line to Samie telling her “I’m very attracted to you, I do want to see if there’s something deeper than an attraction. I’ll be straight up, I do want to see if there’s anything with me and you.”
