Where is Love Island UK Season 11 being filmed?

Following a stint in South Africa for All Stars in January, Love Island UK will once again take up residence in Majorca, Spain for its latest instalment of very muggy summer romance.

The villa is near Sant Llorenc des Cardassar. This is the villa that was built for Season 9 of the reality dating show and is the fourth villa to be constructed for the show.

Not wish for things to grow stale, though, it has been revealed that the villa has had a new makeover, with a lick of paint and a splash of color to really brighten up the place, including a very blue kitchen with the iconic 'eat, sleep, crack on, repeat' mantra across the breakfast bar and a green with envy bathroom.

It's also worth noting the Hideaway has had a spruce. Think red velvet and plenty of gold, reflective surfaces. That's not the only change, though. It's been reported that, for the first time ever, the Hideaway will be open 24/7 – just not to couples. The twist will allow islanders who aren't in a couple to enter the hideaway for some alone time. It'll be interesting to see how it'll be used. Pulling for secret chats? Having a whinge? It's fair to say some 'naughty vibes' will be going on in the Season 11 Hideaway.

Love Island UK Season 11 Episode Recap

Episode 1: 

With ten seasons under its belt, Love Island UK Season 11 is promising plenty of new twists to keep villa life interesting. Day 1 saw 12 brand spanking new islanders entering the freshly spruced up villa in Majorca. Having a bit of time to get to know one another, Maya Jama swayed those hips into the villa to commence the coupling up. But first, islanders had to rank each other from "Most to Least" boyfriend/girlfriend material. 

In a new twist, the boy dubbed the "Most" would couple up with the girl also ranked in the same position, and so on down the ranking, with the "Least" boy and girl forming a couple. Some were happier in their initial couples than others. Before anyone could be married off, though, Maya Jama returned to introduce the villa's first bombshell of the season. Another Love Island UK first, reality TV star Joey Essex – known for his role in The Only Way is Essex - entered the villa.

Episode 2:

With the arrival of the first celebrity ever in the villa, Maya Jama revealed Joey Essex would have 24-hours to get to know the girls before making a decision on which girl he would like to steal the following night. Whichever boy was left single would be immediately dumped from the island. Commence plenty of cracking on, including a game of dares around the fire pit.

With Joey appearing to have eyes for Samantha, Harriet, and Nicole, it was anyone's guess who the reality star would go for. Ultimately, though, he chose to couple up with Samantha, meaning it's bye bye to Sam and his beautiful mullet (that Samantha hated).

Episode 3:

There were plenty of islander games going on. After Ciaran and Nicole had a conversation in the Hideaway Terrace, Harriet asked Samantha if she could pull Joey for a chat in the Hideaway to make Ciaran jealous. Samantha called her out as petty. Things are already getting dramatic in the villa. 

Then the evening brings a "challenge" for the islanders. The girls are asked to blindfold the boys and then head to the terrace. Enter bombshell Uma, who struts her stuff into the villa and plants a kiss on each of the boys, whispering in Joey's ear she'll see him later before removing Ayo's blindfold and taking him for a date in the Hideaway. 

Episode 4: 

Mimii is less frazzled following the challenge after herself and Ayo had shared a romantic kiss the night before. Uma also took Joey for a date, but seemed to have eyes for Ayo, with Ayo reciprocating this interest. And he's not the only guy stuck on two girls. 

Drama continues with Ciaran in his love triangle between Harriet and Nicole. While he and Nicole are chatting, he admits he wishes he could kiss her in that moment, but the pair agree it would be disrespectful to Harriet. Later that night Ciaran and Harriet kiss and cuddle while bed, with this eventually getting back to Nicole and leaving her upset and confused. For some reason, this also leaves things to being a bit frosty between the girls as jealousy festers.

Episode 5:

Nicole lays into Ciaran about his mix singles and also confronts Harriet about not telling her about the kiss when they'd previously had a conversation about what was going on. Ultimately, voices are raised in the villa when Joey pulls Ciaran while talking to Harriet and directly asks him, "Who do you prefer?" Shocked, Ciaran says Nicole with Harriet complaining – even though her and Joey put him in a sticky position where an answer was demanded – he spoke to her rudely. Inevitably, Ciaran sleeps on the day bed.

The episode also saw the first recoupling ceremony of the season in which the boys picked the girls. First, though, as the new girl, Uma picked the boy she wanted to couple up with, and she chose Ayo. Ultimately, the recoupling ceremony ended with Mimii left single. However, it wasn't time to pack her bags. Enter bombshell Omar.

Episode 6:

The first of Season 11's weekly installment of Love Island UK's "Unseen Bits" including exclusive clips from the past week's villa antics. This week it's all about big toes and feet in general.

Episode 7: 

Mimii and Omar's first date went well and, incidentally, left Ayo some kinda way. Looks like Love Island UK Season 11 is set to be the year of the love triangles – or maybe a square if Omar has anything to do with it... Though he's also eyeing up Uma... So really it's just very, very complicated and I'm exhausted already.

Jess also has a bee in her bonnet with Ronnie after his speech during the recoupling ceremony didn't say much about her that was nice, but did allude to his eyes being open to another potential connection – with Harriet. Yikes. Nothing stirs the drama more like a game of dares that saw islanders locking lips both within and outside of their couples.

Episode 8:

These islanders are offering up plenty of drama, and it's only early days!? Following a kiss during dares, Ronnie pulled Harriet for a chat and took her to the Hideaway. There the pair shared multiple kisses, only moments after Ronnie had apologised to Jess for not showing her equal graft. Tensions were high, with Jess ultimately saying to Ronnie if he kissed Harriet again without prewarning, she was done.

Meanwhile, the triangle between Ayo, Mimii, and Uma continued, with Mimii ultimately choosing herself.  Single islanders Omar and Mimii were asked to either couple up together or steal an islander.

Episode 9:

Left on a cliffhanger, Mimii and Omar agreed they needed to explore connections elsewhere (and ultimately their decision avoided any islanders being at risk of being dumped from the islander). Mimii stole Ayo back from Umar, while Omar chose to couple up with Uma, having been getting to know both Umar and Patsy. While both Uma and Mimii sat down with Ayo to ensure they were all on the same page, any drama seemed to be averted. However, in bed that night Mimii and Ayo then shared a kiss, which got back to Uma the next day, obviously.

Love triangle central, both Harriet and Jess decided to have a debrief on mischievous Ronnie, who seems to be playing both girls at once. Honestly, can we just create "Girl Island" and leave these man-children behind? At the end of the episode, the public were asked to vote via the Love Island app for their favorite couple, with the couple with the least votes at risk of being dumped from the island.

Episode 10:

Jess put a time frame on Ronnie to choose between her and Harriet, while Ayo's kiss on the terrace with Mimii got back to Uma. Ayo therefore decided he probably shouldn't be kissing either of the girls while he's getting to know both of them. What a charmer.

Following the previous nights public vote, the favorite couples were revealed leaving Uma, Harriet, Patsy, Munveer, Omar, and Sean vulnerable. The girls were asked to decide on which boy to dump from the island while the boys picked the girl. Ultimately, the girls chose to dump Munveer, while the boys chose Patsy. Munveer and Patsy were in a couple together, meaning no remaining islanders in the villa were left single.

Episode 11

Down with the love triangles, Day 11 saw the second recoupling ceremony of the season with the girls this time getting to choose which boy they wanted to couple up with. A force to be reckoned with, this year our girls are taking back control. While Uma had already said she was stepping back to allow the connection between Ayo and Mimii to blossom, Jess took herself out of the running by choosing to couple up with a sweet-on-her Sean (who owns a sweet company, heh). Harriet was able to swoop in, then, and take Ronnie for herself. But for how long?

Meanwhile, pillow talk saw Ciaran suggest he might already be closed off with Nicole. Yeah, right... And Samantha and Joey went on their first date together.

Episode 12

Three new bombshells entered the villa including a blast from one islander's past. Wil, Tiffany, and Grace (who was seeing Joey outside of the villa about a year ago) entered the villa on Day 12. And a game of beer ping pong saw some heads scrambled and others islanders with their noses knocked out of joint. A three-way kiss between Joey and the two new girl bombshells ultimately saw Samantha sleeping on the day bed, claiming she wanted to step back and let Joey rekindle his relationship with Grace. 

The game also saw Ronnie and Tiffany share a kiss. Later in the kitchen, when asked if he enjoyed it, he said yes, right in front of Harriet. Things also don't look good for Ciaran and Nicole after they partook in the game. While Nicole gave the new boy a snog, Ciaran kept things more respectful with a peck for Jess. However, he later confided in the boys if he wasn't holding back, he would have planted one on Grace...

Episode 13

The second installment of Season 11's "Unseen Bits" from the week's villa antics.

Episode 14:

In a series first, the three new bombshells receive a text allowing them to invite an islander of their choosing for a "Saucy Sleepover". Packing their bags for a night away, Wil chooses Uma, Tiffany steals Ronnie away from a ruffled Harriet, and Grace goes for her old flame Joey.

While Joey denied whether or not he wanted to rekindle anything with Grace, the sleepover saw the pair making out in the pool (and then everywhere else in the Nightway Villa). Ronnie also wanted to upgrade his 7 second kiss in the beer pong game with Tiffany to 10 seconds, while Uma is grinning like a cheshire cat for finally being a boy's first choice.

Episode 15:

After a conversation with Mimii about Ciaran's comment during the game of beer pong, Ciaran tells Nicole what he said, explaining that he didn't really mean it and that he was just jealous after she passionately kissed Wil during the game. Initially Nicole is upset, exclaiming that she hates boys and can't stand when they play up for the lads. However, the pair soon make up and Ciaran says on numerous occasions to other islanders that he is closed off.

Meanwhile the islanders return from their sleepover, with plenty of fallout between Samantha and Joey, as well as between Ronnie and one his many women/triangles. Lord knows what they all see in him...

Episode 16: 

Things continue to unravel between Samantha and Joey as he continues to be a touch insensitive, kissing Grace in front of her. In an attempt to be more respectful, he lets her know he won't be sharing a bed with Sam that night or sleeping on the day bed. Instead he and Grace will sleep in the Hideaway, wanting to give her a heads up rather than her finding out later by other means.

Ronnie also landed himself in hot water after telling Tiffany he would recouple up with her next. This obviously got back to Harriet, though she wasn't able to take him down a peg or two in quite the same fashion as Jess had in the past.

It is revealed the next day that there will be a recoupling in which the boys will pick the girl they want to couple up with. The three new bombshells chose first, with Tiffany stealing Ronnie from Harriet, with Sean ultimately saving Harriet from a dumping. Wil coupled up with Uma, and Grace coupled up with Joey. Other changes saw Omar couple up with Jess, while Ayo and Mimii and Ciaran and Nicole's couples remain unchanged. As she was left single, Samantha was immediately dumped from the island.

Episode 19:

Ayo and Mimii head out on their first date on a boat, with the pair already talking about life beyond the villa, including their families and church. Meanwhile Harriet and Tiffany are vying for Ronnie's attention with Ronnie ultimately calling it off with Harriet, saying that he wants to put all his energy into getting to know Tiff. Then the villa receives a text with Dishy Dates returning as two new bombshells pick three girls and three boys to prepare starters, mains, and desserts.

Matilda chose Omar, Sean, and Wil, while Konnor chose Grace, Nicole, and Mimii. Of course, it turns out Ronnie also knows Matilda from the outside. Will this be another bombshell his head turns for?

Episode 20:

Turns out Tiffany is safe, this time anyway, with Ronnie confirming Matilda was seeing his mate on the outside for a time. Instead, things between Sean and Matilda seem to be going swimmingly, though Omar is also hoping to woo the new bombshell. Meanwhile Konnor is getting to know Jess and Uma.

Speaking of Uma, she thinks things are going well with Wil, but he's in need of a bit of light petting to really feel like they're getting somewhere. Will the couple share a kiss soon? Well she may not be locking lips with Wil, but a game of Suck and Blow sees Ayo choose Uma as the only islander outside of his couple he has sexual chemistry with. Guess what? Mimii is fuming.

Episode 21:

It's all about love triangles, and Sean, Omar, and Matilda seem to have formed a new one. And Sean is bringing the heat, swooping Matilda away from a conversation with Omar and taking her straight to the Hideaway for a chat. While the sweet connoisseur is vying for a kiss, he gets pied, but only because Matilda dubs it too soon.

Elsewhere Harriet is in tears again after she called Ronnie an actor, and he didn't take kindly to it. Go figure. And Ayo and Mimii make up after his blunder in the dares the night before. At the end of the episode, Ian Stirling invites viewers to vote via the app for their favorite couple.

Episode 22:

Week 3 down and another instalment of Love Island: Unseen Bits in which Ronnie and Harriet contemplate whether they'd rather squeeze a lime into their eyes each night or into a graze on their knee. You can't make this up.

Episode 23:

Tiffany informs some of the girls she's not feeling it with Ronnie, while Joey gets a bit jealous and aggy with Omar over his apparent flirting with Grace. Turns out, Omar is just being friendly, and the boys squash their beef the next morning, while Tiffany puts a dampener on Ronnie's turbo.

Enter Maya Jama to reveal the results of the public vote. Sean and Harriet, Ayo and Mimii, and Ciaran and Nicole are safe, left with the decision on which boy and which girl of the vulnerable islanders to send home. Ultimately, they choose to send home Tiffany and Omar, clearing the way for Sean to hit a home run with Matilda. Things also seem to be sparking up again between Harriet and Ronnie (will she ever learn?), while Jess admits to some of the girls she doesn't feel her and Ronnie were ever able to make a proper go of things.

Episode 24:

Monday night's episode saw a snap recoupling for islanders in the broad daylight. Konnor shocked everyone by choosing to couple up with Grace, who apparently didn't make it clear she was pretty much locked off with Joey. Matilda chose to couple up with Sean, with the rest of the girls then able to choose who to couple up with. Jess coupled up with Joey to form a friendship couple.

Later that day Harriet and Ronnie were whisked off for their first date together. Old ruins, a charcuterie board and some wine – what more could you want? When they got back, Jess pulled Ronnie for a chat to see if there was anything there, leaving Harriet annoyed to say the least. Ronnie has apparently turned over a new leaf, though, telling Jess he's laser-focused on Harriet and that he wants someone to come in that only wants Jess. The episode concluded with Sean finally getting his kiss with Matilda on the terrace – which he announced to the whole villa thereafter.

Episode 25:

The heart race challenge returned for another year, and the boys and girls both brought the heat. But it turns out it wasn't just their heart races being lifted. Harriet receives a text that reveals two new bombshells were also watching, with Trey and Jessy inviting Jess and Joey out on a date.

Episode 26:

Joey and Grace appeared to be the strongest couple in the villa, having had a situationship prior to their stint in the villa. However, Jessy came and she well and truly scrambled Joey's head. Meanwhile, Jess finally appeared to have caught a break with Trey's arrival, with the bombshell zeroing in on her. Even though Joey kicked off about Omar's apparent flirting with Grace, he told Grace he wanted to get to know Jessy.

A game of Never Have I Ever (inevitably) causes drama as a question about being two faced in the villa leads Connor to call out Harriet's behavior. Things get heated between the two with Ciaran ending the conversation by saying "at least I've never been anyone's third choice". To be fair, Harriet shouldn't have dished it out if she couldn't take it...

Episode 27:

Fallout of the game sees Harriet livid neither Jess or Nicole followed after her with the rest of the girls when she broke down in tears over Ciaran's comment. But at least Ronnie said she was his first choice now, right? Better late than never?

Following Eve's exclusive villa performance, bombshells Trey and Jessy were asked to make their decision on who they'd like to couple up with. Trey chose Jess and Jessy chose Joey. The final blow for Grace after things appeared to be getting back on track with the two, Joey then pulled Jessy to the terrace and kissed her. At the same time, Grace confided in the girls that if he kissed her she wouldn't speak to him ever again. Oops.

Episode 28:

Of course, word of the kiss spread like wildfire with Jessy ultimately telling Grace that her and Joey had kissed on the terrace and then kissed on bed that night. Not the only pillow talk going on, Ciaran tells Nicole that he loves her and she says it back! Eeek! Grace shuts any future with Joey down in style.

A text shakes the villa, with the results of the public vote revealing who are the favorite and least favorite couples. The couple with the least votes and therefore dumped from the villa were Ronnie and Harriet.

Episode 29:

Another week, another instalment of Love Island: Unseen Bits.

Episode 30:

The girls go out for drinks together, leaving the boys behind in the villa. While out, they receive a text telling them they won't be returning anytime soon and that they're heading to Casa Amor. There they meet six new boys and get to know them by playing Truth or Dare.

Episode 31:

It's the first night of Casa Amor for the girls and only Nicole and Mimii choose to sleep outside rather than share a bed with one of the new boys. Meanwhile, in the main villa, the boys get a wake up call from one of the Casa girls, Emma, with Joey immediately claiming to know her from outside the villa. And he's not the only one bumping into a familiar face early in the morning. Ciaran also knows fellow Welsh girlie Ellie. To his credit, though, he did immediately raise his hand when the boys were grilled by the girls about who was closed off.

Ayo is back to potentially breaking hearts as he immediately went starry-eyed for Jess S. Sweet boy Sean might be turning sour as he goads the boys to get to know the new girls while also having a cheeky flirt with Ruby, while Wil came out with one damning line we're surely going to see replayed once "Movie Night" arrives: "Nothing wrong with a little swivel on a lads holiday."

Episode 32:

The villa goes head-to-head in a game of raunchy races, leaving many of the islanders frazzled as winners are revealed to each villa including the participating islanders that were necking on and so on with the Casa Amor bombshells. Ultimately, the main villa win the game of Raunchy Races and are awarded with a party.

Episode 33:

It's snog central as Casa Amor goes off! Grace has a kiss with Moziah to see how he compares to Blade. Sean is juggling both Ruby and Diamanté, but ultimately kisses Diamanté by the firepit, turfing Ruby out of his bed well and truly for the night. Wil takes Lucy to the Hideaway for a chat and a kiss. Konnor uses a cheesy line to plant one on Emma. And Ayo... Ayo breaks all our hearts by kissing Jess S on the terrace. Poor Mimii. There's also a bit of beef between Jess and Matilda when Matilda starts flirting with Hugo. At the end of the episode it was announced a recoupling ceremony was on the horizon, closing the doors of Casa Amor for another season.

Episode 34:

Perhaps the most intense episode of any season if Love Island, it's time to recouple after a stint in Casa Amor. Will the OG islanders remain faithful or choose to recouple with one of the bombshells? 

So what are our movers and shakers of the season? In a friendship couple, both Konnor and Grace choose to recouple with Emma and Blade respectively, the latter a bit of a shock considering Grace said her kiss with Moziah was better. Sean sticks with Matilda, and Matilda doesn't seem bothered when the Casa girls share all the ways he moved mad in Casa with Ruby and Diamanté. Could it be she doesn't really like him that much and it's all an act? 

Ciaran and Nicole have a tearful reunion. Wil chooses to stick with Uma, and she goes from happy to upset real fast when she learns of his antis with Lucy. Trey and Jess both choose to recouple with Ellie and Hugo, though things seem frosty between the two when they're reunited. And Trey uses the word "embryonic" too much to describe his fledgling relationship with Jess before Casa Amor. To Jessy's shock, Joey chooses to stick with her, with the pair reuniting and Joey having a remarkably clean slate. And a devastating end of the recoupling ceremony sees Ayo recouple with Jess S and Mimii enter the villa alone and therefore single.

Episode 35:

The aftermath of the post-Casa Amor recoupling sees plenty of tea served scalding. Matilda and Uma are invited to meet up with Diamanté and Lucy to discuss the antics of Sean and Wil while in Casa Amor, and the vibes ain't great. Not just anger, there are also a lot of tears with Mimii left heartbroken after Ayo recoupled with Jess S. There's also beef between Ellie, Nicole, and Ciaran when Ellie reveals it was more than just a few DMs between her and Ciaran. And this traversed into Ellie and Trey – who are in a couple – also having beef, because, fair enough, Trey didn't really want to talk about her barely-anything past with Ciaran.

Episode 36:

Week 5 is over with plenty of Casa Amor antics that we didn't see in this week's Love Island: Unseen Bits.

Episode 37:

Barely given the Casa Amor dust time to settle, it's time for this year's "Love Island Film Festival" and everyone is arguing. Sean and Wil especially are aired out to dry with their Casa Amor swivelling broadcast into the villa in 4K. With things far from resolved for Matilda and Uma, Mimii is also left emotional after seeing the way Ayo moved with Jess S. As ever, Nicole and Ciaran are also left bickering, with both having insecurities that the other keeps probing.

In a surprise turn of events, a "Movie Night" encore sees Ellie and Trey voted the least compatible couple by the public, and therefore dumped from the island.

Episode 38:

Matilda and Uma are still unsure about their men, with Sean complaining about what Matilda did in Casa Amor, which would barely even be considered first base. Meanwhile, Wil has started to actually own his actions a bit more and not sit quite so much on the defence, with a conversation ending in him indulging Uma's favorite pass time of squeezing spots on his back. No, really.

A text shakes the villa, with Reuben and Josh ready to take three girls on a date. The girls in question? Uma, Mimii, and Jessy, the latter of whom is just there to wing man the hell out of her girls. And it's fair to say the boys are taking no prisoners, shaming Wil and Ayo for all the ways they wronged their girls.

Meanwhile, Casa couples are already falling apart with Emma calling time on getting to know Konnor, citing no spark between the pair. Grace also shuts things down with Blade.

Episode 39:

While Mimii and Josh hit it off with Josh taking her to the hideaway and making out in the hot tub, Uma's own excitement about the new bombshells has simmered with her heart still with her Wil. Also seemingly back on track post-Casa are Matilda and Sean, who were happily discussing crossing from east to south to hang out in London. Sadly, other Casa flings continue to be dropping like flies. Jess thought things were all great with Hugo, but Hugo's chat with Ayo says otherwise. Speaking of Ayo. We reckon man still has feelings for Mimii. Oh, brother!

One text later asks the two new bombshells to couple up. Josh, having been getting to know both Mimii and Grace, chooses to couple up with Mimii, though he makes it clear he does have his eyes elsewhere, too. Poor Mimii. Then Reuben chooses to couple up with Uma, who is tearful before her name is even said. Another text rocks the villa, stating that as Wil is now single he has been dumped from the island. Uma immediately says she is going with him, and walks out of the villa hand in hand with Wil. When you know, you know.

Episode 40:

With only just over a couple of weeks of villa life to go, it's time to clear out some islanders. The results of a public vote sees the least popular islanders dumped from the island. Whittled down to three boys and three girls, Blade, Hugo, Ayo, Emma, Jess, and Jess S are revealed to have received the least votes, with the two boys and two girls with the very least votes sent home. The islanders in question? Blade, Hugo, Emma, and Jess.

Prior to that, Jess S was giving Ayo the cold shoulder after he had a chat with Mimii, and Josh asked if Mimii was closed off but...not closed off? The episode also saw the return of the sloppy "Kissing Challenge", in which Matilda was crowned the best kisser.

Episode 41:

Josh organizes a waffle picnic on the terrace for Mimii, but her and Ayo seem to have something simmering between them. And karma is a bitch, with Jessy left rattled when a bombshell enters the Hideaway and whisks three boys off for a date, including Joey. She also invites unlucky in love Konnor and very, very closed off Ciaran.

Episode 42:

Reuben and Grace share their first kiss as the pair get to know each other post-Uma's dramatic exit with Wil. Josh is left vexed seeing Mimii and Ayo chatting and giggling, and Matilda and Sean go on their first date. After their drive in a sports car across the Spanish countryside, over a bowl of paella Sean asks Matilda to be exclusive. Love is in the air, with a recoupling ceremony ending in Ciaran asking Nicole to be his girlfriend. New couples see Reuben and Grace and Mimii and Josh also coupling up.

Episode 43:

Week 6 is done and dusted with likely just two weeks left of life on Love Island. Tune into for another hilarious episode of Unseen Bits from Saturday night.

Episode 44:

A game of "Game, Sex, Match" causes plenty of beef as Joey picks at old wounds with Grace, adamant she still has feelings for him, even though it's completely irrelevant and he had no evidence of that fact. There's also tension when it is brought up numerous times there is still something between Ayo and Mimii, leaving both Jess S and Josh frazzled. 

While Joey and Grace fail to bury the hatchet, Nicole encourages Mimii to be open about her unresolved feelings for Ayo.

Episode 45:

The games don't stop, with the return of "Snog, Marry, Pie" furthering the tensions in the villa. The highlights include Joey kissing Nicole??? so he can marry Jessy, and Mimii kissing Ayo and proposing to Josh. Islanders then got to watch the Euro Final between England and Spain, in which Ciaran supported Spain because, well, he's Welsh. Why not?

Mimii asks Joey if he can help her in secretly getting Ayo to meet her on the terrace. The girl is shooting her shot and choosing herself like you've got to on Love Island!

Episode 46:

Ayo refuses to join Mimii on the terrace for a chat even after all Joey's coaxing. Instead, the pair have a chat out in the open where Ayo shuts down any further exploration between the pair, sticking to his word of being focused on Jess S. 

The next morning, the islanders are then invited to a VIP beach club party where Jess Glynn performs and two bombshells enter the mix: Harry and Lola. And that's not all. Maya Jama also waltzed in to be a party pooper, revealing the couple voted most compatible by the public, Ciaran and Nicole. She then revealed they would make the decision of who would be dumped from the island of the least compatible voted couples: newest couple's Lolly and Konnor and Grace and Reuben, as well as Ayo and Jess S.

Episode 47:

Nicole and Ciaran ultimately choose to send newest couple Lolly and Konnor home, bringing the VIP party to a sombre end. But don't worry, there were two new islanders to crack on with as both Lola and Harry made their moves, with Lola pulling Joey for chats and causing friction between him and Jessy as she told him to shut it down if he's as disinterested as he says. At the end of the episode, the two new bombshells were asked to steal the islanders they wished to couple up with. Harry chose Grace, stealing her from Reuben, with the episode ending on a cliffhanger of who Lola would choose between Joey and Reueben, leaving Jessy convinced she was about to be dumped from the island.

Episode 48: 

At the beginning of the episode, Lola's decision was revealed, shocking everyone when she chose to couple up with Reuben, leaving no islanders vulnerable to being dumped. More games in the garden ruffle feathers as islanders are asked to vote on which couples are the most smug, etc. During the game, Joey also fails to keep his secret mission a secret – though he would disagree – alluding to keeping one for Mimii that leaves Jess S and Josh head's scrambled.

Episode 49:

Couples manage to clear the air, with Mimii adamant there was nothing sneaky about Joey's secret mission and that she just wished to talk to Ayo in private about putting a line under their feelings without eyes on them. Her and Josh then go on a date and Josh asks her to be exclusive.

The episode ends with the final recoupling ceremony of the season, in which Reuben chooses to take back Grace from Harry and Harry is left to choose Lola. The bombshells seem less than pleased about their new couple.

Episode 50:

The penultimate episode of Love Island: Unseen Bits.

Episode 51:

Make way for the "Grafties", with islanders awarded for categories including 'Flirtiest Performance', 'Most One-Sided Relationship', and 'Biggest Pot Stirrer'. But not before the reveal of the 'Least Favorite Couple', announcing that Harry and Lola had been voted least favorite by the public and were therefore dumped from the island. All before the award ceremony had even began.

Episode 51:

As the final closes in, it's time to meet the family, with each islander getting to reunite with two members of their close friends and family, as well as putting the islander they're in a couple with into the hot seat. It was then time for the annual Love Island "Talent Show", with varying degrees of actual talent showcased.
