Liam Llewellyn was back in the Love Island game during Thursday night's episode (June 9) as he headed on not one but TWO dates. The Welsh 23-year-old is facing being dumped from the villa after being left single just 24 hours into his time on the ITV2 dating show..
In a twist during the programme's 2022 debut earlier this week, Liam was chosen to be coupled up with Gemma Owen, the daughter of former footballer Michael, by the public as fans got to choose who they wanted together for the very first time. However, as the sun set on the first night in Mallorca, bombshell Davide Sanclimenti arrived.
After chatting to a few of the girls, during Tuesday night's episode business owner Davide, 27, chose to couple up with dressage rider Gemma, 19, leaving Liam single.

But just a day into the eighth series and another two bombshells were dropped into the mix in the form of 27-year-old Turkish actress Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and 25-year-old Lounge Host Afia Tonkmor. And the public once again had their say and sent Liam on a date with them both.
The first meeting was shown during last night's episode (Thursday) and instantly left fans baffled as Liam appeared to change his voice, adopting a breathy, whispery voice when speaking to the girls, leaving viewers having to turn up the sounds on their TVs.
Former X Factor star Jack Quickenden tweeted: "Why’s liam whispering… Gemma won’t hear you pal #LoveIsland." Former Gogglebox star Tom Malone Jr echoed: "Why the hell is Liam whispering like this? #LoveIsland."
@DollySparks15 said: "Me trying to hear what Liam is saying. why is he whispering #LoveIsland." @TweetXan_ commented: "Why does Liam sound like someone has told him to keep his voice down #LoveIsland." @Lottiemercer105 shared: "Liam babe whats gone on with your voice #LoveIsland."
@ShutUpBar wrote: "Is Liam auditioning for an asmr career with that whispering #LoveIsland." @lauragabell added: "Why is Liam almost whispering on these dates..I don’t know if I’ve just not noticed his voice til now lol but it’s like he’s speaking to a child he’s putting to bed #LoveIsland."
But that's not the only issue viewers spotted as they found the set up of the dates to be really strange. @minstrivia tweeted: "Nah they couldn’t have separated the dates??? how are they both sat there #LoveIsland." @maisier1616 commented: "No this is so awkward, Ekin-Su just sat in the background on her own. Could they not have staggered these date, please #loveisland."
