Love Island's Yewande and Arabella have a SAVAGE conversation

The atmosphere was electric for most of Friday's episode of Love Island, to the point that even the villa's most solid couple ended up arguing.

Things were tense from the beginning as Danny found himself torn between Yewande and relative newcomer Arabella. The latter has made no secret of her desire to get to know Danny better despite the fact that he's currently coupled up with Yewande.

Curtis, meanwhile, earned Amy's ire after an ill-fated kissing context, during which he accidentally rated Arabella's kissing abilities as superior to Amy's.

Yewande steps up

Yewande wants her coupling with Danny to continue, and she's certainly taking action to ensure that is the case. While she started out as one of the more discreet islanders, this episode saw Yewande stand up for herself in more ways than one. First, she went to sit on Danny while he was engrossed in a chat with Arabella. Second, when Arabella later confronted Yewande about it, she fought back and was left clearly angry at her fellow islander. Danny has complained many times that Yewande didn't express her feelings towards him enough – and she is now clearly showing her affections towards him.

What does Danny want?

All this brings us to the following question: what on Earth does Danny want? Yewande and Arabella have both made their desires crystal-clear (Arabella wants to "get to know" Danny, per one of the most over-used phrases in the villa, while Yewande wants to remain paired up with him). Danny has indicated that he was happy to be coupled up with Yewande once she started showing him that she liked him. He does, however, appear to be keeping his options open when it comes to Arabella. Hopefully we will get some clarity soon.

Curtis and Amy endure

The villa's two love birds, who have taken to refer to each other as "half boyfriend and girlfriend", had their first major fight tonight. It all stemmed from a kissing context during which each female islander had to kiss each male participant. The men, of course, were wearing blindfolds and had to rate each kisser without knowing their identity. Naturally, Curtis gave Amy a seven out of 10 but awarded Arabella a 10 out of 10. Amy was furious, not only at Curtis's unintentional betrayal but also at the other islanders, who found the situation very funny. Words were exchanged but Curtis and Amy eventually worked things out during a romantic date.

We need to talk about the foetal position

In what is certain to become a viral Love Island moment, Tommy told Curtis (who was asking him about his level of physical intimacy with Molly-Mae, with whom Tommy is currently coupled up) that he had spent the last night "in the foetal position". Curtis appeared thoroughly confused, asking Tommy to demonstrate what he meant. More confusion ensued.

Yesterday, Danny and Yewande seemed closer than ever after some initial tension. But newcomer Arabella doesn't seem to have completely forgotten about Danny, meaning there could be some friction tonight.
