ITV Love Island fans have already set their sights on who will be the first contestant to leave the villa. Just two days into the new series, the first dumping is on the horizon.
The popular ITV2 dating show returned on Monday (16 January) for its ninth run and second-ever winter series. Following the first coupling, footballer Tom Clare's arrival ruffled some feathers.
Manchester Evening News reports on Tuesday's episode viewers saw the Islanders waking up for their first full day in the South African villa.

Footballer Tom made sure he got a chat with all of the girls before making a decision on who he wanted to couple up with. But there was a horrifying moment for Love Island viewers when the contestants took part in a game of dares that quickly turned raunchy.
In the uncomfortable scenes, airport security officer Shaq Muhammed faked an orgasm for his partner Tanya Manhenga and TikTok-star and farmer Will Young gave a foot massage to Olivia Hawkins before putting her toes in his mouth.
But after the show's new host Maya Jama warned the male islanders to "get grafting and hold on tight to your girls" in Monday's series opener in a bid to avoid being dumped from the island, Tom was given the chance to choose the girl he would like to couple up with. At the end of Tuesday evening’s episode, the islanders gathered around the fire pit where Tom chose 27-year-old actress and ring girl Olivia to couple up with.
Before revealing his choice, Tom said: "It's been a very tough decision for me and what's made it so hard is that all the girls have such different personalities and I find them all attractive. It’s been a very tough decision. But I’ve decided to couple up with this girl because I definitely think she'll keep me on my toes, I think she’s absolutely stunning and I know it’s only early days but I do genuinely think there’s probably something there with this girl."
He then revealed: "The girl I'd like to couple up with is Olivia." Tom's decision has left Olivia’s former partner Will, a farmer and TikTok star, vulnerable to dumping. Will, 23, then later received a text which informed the islanders of an upcoming dumping.
The text said: “Will you are now single, at the end of the week all islanders will take part in a recoupling, the islander not picked to be in a couple will be dumped from the island.” To shake things up further, viewers were told to expect two new bombshells in Wednesday evening’s episode.
The voice of Love Island’s Iain Stirling revealed 25-year-old model and property developer Zara Deniz Lackenby-Brown and 24-year-old money adviser David Salako will be making a shock entrance to the villa. But before the announcement of the two new islanders, Love Island fans had already decided who would be leaving in the first dumping of the series.
@ClaireGemm asked: "Is the new girl going to fancy Will or is it a foregone conclusion that he's going to be the first dumped? #LoveIsland." @Notorious_Shell tweeted: "I think Will is defo gonna be dumped first. Just can't see any of the girls getting into him.. tanyel is giving me ekin vibes. Not sure who I'm liking yet #LoveIsland."
@darrync_ commented: "Makes sense why Will is probably gonna be the first dumped by the end of the week… he seems to be the only one in the villa with a personality #LoveIsland." @oje404 posted: "Honestly watch will get dumped first. That’s gonna be sad #LoveIsland." @millprzystl added: "Will is gonna get dumped so fast #LoveIsland."
