Love Island 2018 catch up: Romance blossoms as Jack asks Dani to officially be his girlfriend

All the latest drama from the villa as the contestants search for love and evade sunburns

Meet the new Love Islanders 2018

Love Island's Sunday episode saw romance blossom all across of the villa.

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.

But, most importantly of all, Jack actually asked Dani to be his girlfriend. And she said yes, instantly cementing them as the absolute favourites to win the show. Could there ever be any doubt? Or is there a nasty surprise hiding around the corner?

Alex thinks his life is a rom-com. He's with a beautiful blonde! His friend hasn't been kicked out! Ellie just thanked him for saving her from eviction, which is definitely a great sign that this isn't going to end in disaster.

New move: pretend do a cheers with a closed fist because you're not holding a glass. Then, when she's confused to the maximum, go in for the kiss.

That smooch replayed:

Georgia is freaking out about pouring her feelings out to Josh. Time for a confession clutching pep talk.

Georgia is going broke for Josh. And she decided the best place for this emotional confession is flopped on to two bean bags, the universal piece of furniture for when someone has given up on life.

"Did the horse eat the sugar lump" is the worst analogy for sex I have ever heard. My mind is forever spoiled. I'll get myself to a nunnery. It's over.

Also, how on earth is Laura even pretending that if you have sex in a communal bedroom people might... just... notice? Maybe?
