The drama is heating up in both the Casa Amor and winter Love Island Villa as the Islanders test their commitment in their original couples with the 12 new bombshells that have entered the show in the hope of turning their heads.
And while some of the Islanders have had their eye caught by the newcomers - Tanya and Casey, for example - it seems Australian latecomer Jessie, who is currently coupled up with Will, is happy with not getting to know anyone else romantically and opened up to Lana during Wednesday night's episode explaining how she was missing her 23-year-old farmer from Buckinghamshire.
But, little to her knowledge, Will had been busy getting to know bombshell Layla Al-Momani, who he kissed in the heat of the moment on the terrace during last night's episode. And viewers were not happy, quickly jumping to Jessie's defence, with many scolding Will for his actions, stating how the influencer and personal trainer deserved better.

Speaking to Lana Jenkins, the 26-year-old from Hobart who had shared a bed with Casa Amor's Frankie Davey platonically, said: "Frankie is really nice. He's actually a lovely guy. We have a lot of similarities but it's just not for me. The more he talks to me, it's doing more harm than good. It's just making me miss Will.
"Just talking to him, I think my heart's really closed off. Yesterday I was thinking a lot about what they're doing in the villa and I started to have jealousy feelings and... I don't know."
Lana added: "I just hope things are good over there."
"I don't really trust men, sometimes," said Jessie. "It takes a lot for me to trust, but I feel if what Will and I have is true, he would be sitting there feeling the same way."
Speaking in the 'beach hut' to the viewers, Jessie added: "I know that obviously there's going to be lots of attractive girls over in the villa, but I just really think what Will and I have is special and I do trust Will. I don't know if that's naive of me to think, but yeah."
Yet, later on in the show Will seemed to have seen the error of his ways and regretted sharing a kiss with Layla - he explained to Tom and Casey that she had "nothing on Jessie. I think I am actually falling in love with Jessie. I do feel really [bad] about it" - viewers rapidly rallied around the Australian bombshell, taking to Twitter to voice their thoughts on the situation.
