Anna-May added: ‘I feel like we don’t have much flirt, it’s a lot of serious chat.’
The conversation continues as Kai says: ‘I think sometimes you’ve just got to go with your gut with these things.’

In the Beach Hut, Anna-May says: ‘I kind of saw it coming and it’s made me realise Kai is not the one I’m looking for’.
She then breaks down in tears with Will and says she feels like a lost puppy, as the only one without a connection.

ZARA HAS HER EYES ON SHAQ
Zara approaches Shaq on the daybeds where she admits that ‘it would be nice to explore’ something new with him.
She says: ‘I’ll be real with you, Tom is obviously ticking pretty much every box for me but it’s early still, I haven’t even spoken to you properly, it would be nice to explore.’
However, their cosy chat is awkwardly interrupted by Tanya Manhenga – who is coupled up with Shaq – as she brings the airport security officer a cup of tea.
And despite seemingly in a happy couple with Tanya, Shaq tells Zara that he feels the same way and would like to get to know her.

‘On the outside you would be someone that I would go for so I do want to explore that to see the vibes’, to which she says: ‘Same with you.’
Shaq and Zara then bond as they talk about them both being from London as he remarks: ‘You’re from London too, you just get it.’
