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?

Have we actually seen them once all episode?

Ah there they are, barely maintaining a conversation. Venice apparently stinks, Eyal? Please, tell me more, you worldly soul.

The TEEEXXXXT brings this episode's challenge. Which is some sort of lame festival tie-n. Prompt loads of terrible rave moves.

They're literally just putting up tents now. I don't care how many times you say "hole", you can never fix this truly tedious idea.

Whoever orchestrated the zoom in on Eyal after Megan complained that her throat hurt because something touched the back of it should get a raise.

I know they're making fun of the cake... but who baked the cake?
