Cheers To Stealing Our Birds

It’s happened! Last night we watched the Islanders lay eyes on the Villa (and each other!) for the very first time… Kem and Arielle are joined by the current reigning Queen of the Villa, the one and only Dani Dyer, to dissect all of the goings on from Day 1 on the Island. We’ve had a coupling, a love triangle and even a pair of bombshell boys… It’s been a rollercoaster first day, but as our Islanders would say, “It is what it is.”

The Bigger The Dog, The Bigger The Poo

Well, THAT was a dramatic recoupling! This morning, Kem and Arielle are joined by the hilarious Sideman to recap all the juice from last night’s episode. We’ve had lube, we’ve had the l-bomb and we’ve had a love triangle (or should we say love square?) We’ve even got a low-budget version of last night’s challenge as we delve into Kem and Arielle’s DMs… what more could you want?

3

Two Beyoncés and Three Rihannas

Right, so that was an intense one, eh? Last night we dealt with the fall out after Tommy chose Lucie… and it has SHAKEN the villa. Arielle and Kem are joined by artist Ms Banks to catch up with all the villa gossip and the love square that just won’t quit.

5

Balls The Size Of King Kong

This morning Kem and Arielle dissect that jam-packed episode with the lovely Rick Edwards. SO MUCH HAPPENED... but we can't stop thinking about Michael in that cowboy outfit. Curtis' cheesy chat up lines were OUTSTANDING last night and the recouping reminded us of some slow burning romances that might be getting back on track.

6

Lather It Right Up

Good morning! Do you want any peppermint tea? An omelette? With cheese? Salt and pepper? We've seen more triangles than a maths class, so incredible broadcaster Lauren Mahon is in the studio with Kem and Arielle this morning to help us debrief last night's action from the Villa.

Don't Tell Her You Love Her!

Last night was all about half-girlfriends, half-boyfriends and exclusivity. But thankfully, Amber is in the villa to give us a healthy serving of pie on the side.

You're Going To Leave Me With A Monobrow?

Arielle is joined by James and Tristan from The Vamps this morning to tuck into last night's tasty episode. It was all going so well for Curtis and Amy, but has she put too much pressure on too quickly? Is she feeling threatened by the Villa's other 'exclusive' couple, Lucie and Joe? We'll debrief it all. Arielle, James and Tristan also play 'Vamp It Up' by trying to out-do some of our Islanders' iconic quotes from the villa.

Kem and Arielle have recruited the brilliant Lewys Ball (aka LookingForLewys) to try and work out just why Tommy is having such a tough time dealing with two gorgeous women competing for his attention… They’re also chatting about that Dewande snog, the lad trip to the spa and the growing tension between Lucie and Amy.
