Love Island's Jacques threatens to 'flatten' new boy Jay as things get heated after jibe

Love Island will air tense scenes on Wednesday, following the arrival of two new boys .

Jay Younger, a 28-year-old Investment Analyst from Edinburgh, and 22-year-old model Remi Lambert, who hails from Manchester, are both the latest names to join the line-up.

But a new clip for Wednesday's episode appears to show both boys making jibes at the other guys in the villa, clearly not there to make friends.

It's what Jay says to previous bombshell Jacques O'Neill though that could lead to the first big villa clash of the series.

His dig leaves Jacques visibly annoyed, and he's soon threatening to "flatten him" in the villa garden.

It all kicks off following their debut at the end of Tuesday's visit to the villa, with some of the girls seemingly having their heads turned.

As the newcomers join the boys for a chat though, the preview for the next episode reveals things don't get off to the best start.

Jay confidently tells the group: "I'm not here to make friends. I'm not here for seasonal boyfriends."

He then appears to make a jibe at Jacques, who soon retaliates, as a rattled Jacques asks him: "What do you do big boy?".

Clearly threatened, Jacques then tells him: "I play rugby lad," and Jay says: "You're a bit small for a rugby player, no?" to which Jacques responds: "Oh really? If you run at me I'll flatten you, so..."

It comes amid claims a planned bombshell quit the series before entering the villa - with two more boys since arriving, following the departure of Afia Tonkmor.

Fresh from Master student Liam Llewellyn's decision to leave the villa after just a few days on the show, model Zach Hartman has apparently told friends he has decided not to enter the ITV2 show villa this week.

Zach - who bosses were hoping would enter the villa this week as a bombshell - has reportedly decided against flying out.

According to The Sun, he said: "I was meant to be going on Love Island this year and flying out this week. After long conversations with my family and thinking about what I wanted out of my career, I decided against it."

He also made a savage dig at the other men in the villa, saying: “Would’ve been an easy year to win seeing as none of the guys have any game on there. But I’ve got to do what’s best for me."

Love Island airs every night at 9pm on ITV2 and ITV Hub.
