Love Island fans think they may know why Paige Thorne was seen crying in a teaser for the next installment of the hit show. The ITV2 dating show was back on screens on Monday night (July 4) as the Casa Amor divide continued.
Like every year, the main villa has been split up but this time round, the girls have headed into the second villa while the boys have stayed put. Each group have been joined by six new Islanders ready to spice things up and step on some toes to find love in Mallorca this summer.
Last night's episode (Monday) saw the Casa Amor split continue to test the couples as islanders in both villas explored new connections with many sharing their first kisses.

A Raunchy Race challenge also provided an opportunity for the new arrivals to make their moves as well as ignited the competitive spirit between the two groups. Among the challenges was ‘the boy with the most tattoos must suck the toe of the girl he fancies the most’ which saw Luca Bish choose Mollie Salmon in the main villa while Jack Keating picked Paige Thorne.
The task caused Gemma Owen, who is coupled up with Luca, to be particularly annoyed. Speaking in the Beach Hut afterward, she said: "That challenge definitely did mess with a few people’s heads, it certainly p****d me off."
Another task requested the male islander whose name comes first alphabetically to kiss all the other girls in the villa. In Casa Amor, newcomer Billie Brown got to kiss the girls while Andrew was the boy selected in the main villa, which frustrated his partner Tasha Ghouri.
She said in the Beach Hut: “Andrew’s kissed six girls and I’m sitting there like ‘Okay Tash, you’ve got this. You’re fine.'" In the need it was team Casa Amor who were declared the overall winner following the string of racy tasks.
After the challenge, a number of islanders continued to explore the connections that had been sparked during the game, including Davide and Coco who shared a kiss under the water as part of it. As they sat alone, Coco asked him directly if he found her attractive to which he admitted he did before they kissed once again.
Coco and Andrew also shared another kiss by the firepit after she was dared by her fellow islanders to prove that “brunettes have more fun”. In the Beach Hut, Andrew said: “Right now I’m not going to be thinking about Tasha. I’m going to be thinking about myself for once.
“At the end of the day I wanna be happy so, I’m definitely going to speak to Coco. We’ll see what happens.” The 27-year-old estate agent later invited Coco to the terrace with him where he told her “you are my type and I definitely wanna get to know you more” and it wasn't long before he took his chance and gave Coco another kiss.
Dami Hope, meanwhile, who has been coupled up with Indiyah Polak, also brought new girl Summer Botwe, 22, up to the terrace during the episode. Summer asked him to read her mind, to which he obliged, saying: “You fancy me. You feel like there is a bit of chemistry between us. You wanna kiss me. You wanna share a bed with me tonight. You still definitely want to kiss me.”
And they certainly did as it wasn't long, again, before the pair were locking lips. But it appears the fallout is set to leave some of the girls in tears. A teaser for Tuesday night's episode aired in which narrator Iain Stirling said: "There's stolen kisses" to which it then sees new boy Billy grabbing Tasha, who is coupled up with Andrew, for a kiss.
Iain then adds: "And tears of torment..." to which it sees Paige, who is coupled up with Jacques O'Neill back in the main villa, wiping away tears as she admits: "I don't want to be that person..."
While the reason for Paige's tears weren't shared, some may be quick to think it's because of her current love interest, Jacques. However, others think it could be nothing to do with him. @sufjons tweeted: "Nah i’m certain paige is crying ab billy and tash not jacques #LoveIsland."
@91_beckss commented: "These boys are something else, and i reckon paige is crying cos billy kisses tasha #loveisland." @CLGlifer echoed: "So is Paige crying over Tasha and Billy kissing? She looked a bit hurt when he kissed Tasha during the challenge. #Loveisland."
@jaded_african said: "Prediction: Paige was crying in tomorrow’s preview because Billy kissed Tasha, not because of Jacques #LoveIsland." @libby_afc added: "If Paige is crying over Billy and Tasha she’s reach a new love island all time low #loveisland."
