Lana Jenkins has decided to couple up with new bombshell Casey O’Gorman despite her long-running romance with Ron Hall after Sunday night’s surprise recoupling. The make-up artist’s shock decision comes after semi-professional football player Tom Clare offered his advice on her indecision between financial adviser Ron and new bombshell Casey moments before the recoupling.
Tom told her: “I just don’t want to see you get hurt. I think Ron is not being honest with himself, I still see him flirting with Samie (Elishi), I think he’s been quite slimy.” Talking about Casey, he added: “I love him to bits. I think his intentions are genuine, I haven’t known him long but I am a good judge of character.”
In the episode, Lana said in the beach hut: “I have chats with Ron and I sway more that way, then I have chats with Casey and I sway that way.”
Previously in the episode Casey said he would be “absolutely over the moon” if Lana did pick him and he would “definitely make her happy”.
The recoupling saw Tanya and Shaq recouple along with Jessie Wynter and Will Young, who danced as he went to kiss her and said: “I adore you.”
Meanwhile, Ellie Spence chose bombshell Jordan Odofin, Samie picked Tom and Olivia Hawkins, who was single, chose Kai Fagan to couple up with. Earlier in the episode Aaron Waters and Spencer Wilks were dumped from the island after the girls chose to save Kai.
The trio were are all at risk of leaving the reality show after landing in the bottom three following a public vote for favourite villa residents. Announcing the news, Olivia said: “It was not an easy decision at all but we have decided to dump these two from the island because even though we believe they’re both in here for genuine reasons, we think that there may be a stronger connection that has been formed over the past few days.”
PE and science teacher Kai, who has formed a connection with ring girl Olivia, said: “I am truly grateful to keep getting saved by everyone in here, it’s just not a nice feeling.”
On his exit, model and content creator Aaron said: “Bit lost for words, I can’t lie. It’s bittersweet, I don’t regret anything. When one door closes another opens so I feel like I’m excited.”
E-commerce owner Spencer said: “It’s a shame, me and Tanyel (Revan) had just started to really get to know each other, it’s tough leaving everyone.”
Visibly upset Jessie Wynter said of fellow Australian Aaron in the beach hut: “Aaron was my little piece of home here in the villa, so it’s going to suck without him.”
Meanwhile, farmer and Tik Tok star Will Young joked to Aaron and Spencer: “I can give you my postcode if you want to hit up my farm.”
Love Island continues on ITV2 and ITVX.
