Love Island '
First off, Samira landed her first kiss of the show with new boy Sam, promising that, not only has she once more managed to evade being evicted from the villa, but that she might actually get a shot at finding real love.
Georgia went for broke with Josh and the two consolidated their coupling with a promise of no more games; Megan and Eyal, plus Adam and Zara got to know each other a little bit better with some heartfelt chats about how Venice "stinks", apparently, and what the practicalities of opening 300 schools are.
Meanwhile, Laura and Wes let "the horse eat the sugar lump", which won't be explained further - but you can guess what it entails.
