Tyrique accuses Scott of ‘playing games’ with Catherine
The Love Island villa erupted into an explosive row during the first few moments of Friday night’s episode when Scott confronted everyone over accusations he was ‘playing games.’
The opening scene showed Scott pulling the whole villa for a chat by the firepit after Tyrique questioned if his feelings towards Catherine were genuine.
Meanwhile, fans at home demanded that Tyrique apologised for his actions, claiming he ‘disrespected Catherine in public.’
Upon finding out that the other contestants had been discussing his relationship – behind his back – Scott fumed and demanded the truth be ‘aired out.’
‘I’m going to pull everyone, right now, around the firepit and air everything out,’ he explained to Catherine.
‘I don’t think you should do that, it is the boy’s issue, the girl’s weren’t directly involved. I just think you need to think about things,’ Catherine admitted.
Confronting the other Islander’s, he began: ‘Me and Catherine were sat in the den and I could hear everyone saying my name, multiple times.

‘Now if anyone has an issue, just air it out now so there’s no “he said, she said.”‘
Tyrique fired back: ‘I feel like, people in the villa are still playing a game. I’m not saying that you don’t have feelings for Catherine but I do think you are over exaggerating your feelings.’
‘When have I ever said a bad word about Catherine,’ Scott questioned.
‘You’re just with Catherine to try and stay here longer, that’s what we feel,’ Tyrique added.
‘It was just a bit rash to close things off completely with Catherine,’ Sammy agreed.
Catherine hit back: ‘If you had genuine concerns you would have come to me!’
Speaking to the camera, she later added: The boys are being very immature by spreading this around and they are making me feel uncomfortable.’
Fans at home shared their thoughts on Twitter, with one posting: ‘Tyrique you punk! You disrespected Catherine in public so apologise in public you lunatic!!! Producers wake up.’
Another questioned: ‘Why is it so hard for them to believe that Scott it’s genuinely interested in Catherine.’
‘Still waiting on an apology to Catherine,’ a third person wrote while someone else shared: ‘I’m not forgiving a single person in that villa until I see they’ve apologised to Catherine.’

Love Island viewers left cringing over Kady McDermott
Love Island viewers were left cringing during Friday’s episode as Kady McDermott became embroiled in an argument with Whitney Adebayo.
The television personality, 27, who was originally on series two of the show, recently returned to the villa coupled-up with Zachariah Noble, which sent Molly Marsh home.
They had been getting along well but when Mehdi Edno was sent home earlier this week, Whitney took an interest in Zachariah.
After the Islanders got into a heated argument over Catherine Agbaje and Scott van-der-Sluis’s relationship, Scott gathered the contestants around the fire pit in a bid to clear the air.
However, the argument rumbled on between some of the girls, prompting Kady to walk off.

She exclaimed: ‘Why don’t you pull me, I think you should pull me, I’m the new girl and last to know everything.
‘You’re telling everyone you fancy Zach but I don’t know that.’
But viewers were left embarrassed for Kady, with many taking to Twitter to express their opinion.
One person wrote: ‘How tf she feel out the loop when Kady seen everything that was going on in the villa and Whitney said in front of Kady that she’s going to keep pulling Zach for chats? Just stop speaking to me.’
While someone else shared: ‘Kady making this all about her – where is this coming from!? The crocodile tears and squawking is too much.’
‘Kady making this moment about her girl get a grip,’ wrote another viewer.
While another person posted: ‘Kady needs to stop with this victim mentality of hers it may have worked during her season when she was 20 but you’re actually here for the second time yet you’re complaining about being a ‘new girl’ crying because somebody lied. Very embarrassing for her.’
Someone else tweeted: ‘How is kady making it about her when it’s about Catherine, like girl u ain’t the special.’

Someone else shared: ‘She sat in front of Kady and told her and all the other girls how the date went and how she feels about zach. I don’t think she can be more upfront than that.’
While another person remarked: ‘Why does Kady feel the need to make everything about herself? Catherine should be crying not her. She keeps chatting about honesty and no one going up to her. Like Whitney said GO ASK WASSUP you weirdo.’
Love Island’s Casa Amor kicks off! Ne-Yo whisks the girls away
Love Island’s Casa Amor is back with a vengeance as global superstar Ne-Yo whisked the girls away to meet with tempting newcomers including a footballer and a PT.
In a move that no-one predicted, Friday’s episode saw this year’s guest of honour not only put on a showstopping performance but he also had a surprise up his sleeve.
While the Islander’s danced away to the singer’s chart topping hits, little did they know he would soon be introducing the girls to a host of new, sexy, single men.
Viewers saw Kodie Murphy, Ouzy See, Zachary Ashford, Elom Ahlijah-Wilson, Lochan Nowacki and Benjamin Noel enter the villa in the twist.
After tricking the girls into going outside for a photo opportunity, Ne-Yo hurried the girls off into a taxi, emblazoned with the word’s ‘Casa VIP’s.’

Elated at the news, their excited screams could be heard sounding around the grounds, but by the time the boys had noticed, their girls had already gone.
Known for being the catalyst behind the beginning – and ending – of some of the show’s most solid romances, Casa Amor sees the male and female Islanders separated without warning and greeted with sexy new singletons.
Upon his arrival to the Casa Amor villa, fitness business owner Benjamin Noel admitted: ‘I’m most intrigued by Leah and I don’t think she’s met her match yet, the traits she has are what I look for in a girl.
‘I also like Kady, she’s really attractive so I want to figure out if we match in terms of our personalities. Whitney is another girl I’m drawn to, she’s a really cool girl,’ he added.
Meanwhile, PT and masseuse Elom Ahlijah-Wilson said: ‘All the girls are all beautiful. I want to see their energy levels.
‘If I speak to them and like their vibe, I’d want to couple up with them. Whitney has good energy, so does Leah and Ella. I’m just going to go there and try to talk with all of the girls.’

Molly Marsh is returning to Love Island!
Molly Marsh is returning to the Love Island villa just a week after being dumped in a huge show twist.
The blonde beauty is heading back to the show as part of its Casa Amor twist, and will join five sexy single girls in the main villa hoping to tempt the boys.
After a week of speculation, Molly’s return was confirmed at the end of Friday’s episode, as a preview for Sunday’s show featured the West End star and the five new girls heading into the villa.
The episode also saw the current girls whisked away to Casa Amor by surprise guest Ne-Yo, and they were visibly delighted to be joined by five new boys.
Molly was sensationally dumped from the villa last week after Kady McDermott opted to couple up with her beau Zachariah Noble, leaving viewers stunned.

Gone! The blonde beauty was sensationally dumped from the villa last week after Kady McDermott opted to couple up with her beau Zachariah Noble
Known for being the catalyst behind the beginning – and ending – of some of the show’s most solid romances, Casa Amor sees the male and female Islanders separated without warning and greeted with sexy new singletons.
Molly was sensationally dumped from the villa last week after bombshell Kady McDermott stole her man Zachariah Noble.
An insider told The Sun: ‘It’s going to be the most shocking twist yet because the cast have no idea it’s coming – filming starts tomorrow and it’ll be on screen this weekend.
‘This year will be explosive as there are barely any solid couples and nobody is official yet. Heads will be turned as the Casa Amor cast are the hottest one yet. Fans won’t want to miss it.’
The publication also claimed that Molly had flown back to Spain, just days after she landed back in the UK.
Molly did little to quash ongoing rumours she was returning to the Love Island villa as she jetted to Spain on Wednesday.
The theatre star believed she had found a burning flame in the Love Island villa with sought-after Islander Zachariah yet has been left heartbroken since.
After her departure last week, the hunk, 25, struck up a flirtation with returning star Kady – who was the reason Molly was ejected from the show – and as of Thursday, Whitney Adebayo.

She’s back already? Molly’s return will no doubt send shockwaves through the villa
Rumours began to swirl rife that the star is coming back to the show to confront her former love amid his shocking actions.
Seeming determined to shrug off any heartbreak and keep speculation going, Molly took to Instagram hours after Zach and Whitney’s hot exchange aired to share images from her trip to Ibiza – which led fans to believe she may be coming back.
Sharing a trio of snaps with her followers, the blonde beauty posted an image showing the wing of her airplane with her destination tagged, a stunning shot of a street in the idyllic old town and then an image of her Zara shopping bags.
The previous day – prior to seeing his exchange with Whitney – Molly backtracked on her vow to wait for Zachariah after watching him move on with Kady – with a failed attempt at a kiss – two days after she was dumped.
The blonde beauty had insisted she’d be waiting for Zach on the outside after her dumping stunned viewers on Friday, but since, he opted to pursue things with Kady, even leaning in for a kiss in Monday’s show.
In her first interview since leaving the villa, Molly admitted she feels ‘silly’ to have made such a declaration when she left the villa, and she’s ‘frustrated’ she didn’t say more to Zach when she left.
She told The Sun: ‘I suppose I do feel a bit silly. I’d hope I was still in his mind but I don’t know if I am anymore. Zach and I spoke very quickly…
She’s off! Molly jetted to Ibiza on Wednesday in the wake of her on-screen love Zachariah’s heartbreaking flirtations, adding fuel to the fire that she would be returning to the villa

Sweet: She and Zachariah seemed to have the strongest bond before Molly left
Cheeky! Since her departure last week, the hunk, 25, has struck up a flirtation with returning star Kady McDermott and Whitney Adebayo
‘We literally hugged each other. I wish I did say more to him, we hardly said anything to each other. That’s one thing I regret. It’s frustrating.’
Molly also noted that when Zach leaned in to try and kiss Kady, he was wearing a bracelet that she’d given him before she exited the villa.
She admitted: ‘Seeing him cracking on with Kady, I would’ve thought that I was more important than after two days wanting to go in for the kiss – that’s a lot quite soon.’
Love Island continues on Sunday at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
