LOVE ISLAND's Whitney and Ella will be taken out of the villa TONIGHT to discuss their differences while one lucky couple will become closer than ever in the hideaway.
Zachariah Noble receives a text which tells Whitney Adebayo and Ella Thomas to get ready to leave the villa after the pair were involved in a row following some things said in yesterday's challenge.
Ella believes that Whitney's comments have been brewed by the challenge, however, the 25-year-old insisted: "This is why I say we’re not friends because if you think I’m the kind of girl that is going to use a challenge to talk to you to direct, wrong girl. If I’ve got something to say, I will tell you – I don’t need a challenge to sugarcoat things like yourself.”
Elsewhere in the villa, Ella Barnes receives a text which asks the islanders to choose one lucky couple to spend the night in the hideaway.
The islanders are quick to choose Jess Harding and Sammy Root who are set to take their relationship a step further with a touching statement.

What are Molly and Zach really like?
Many fans criticise Zach and Molly because they're always together or they don't speak much or they don't look like a likely couple.
Love Island viewers across Twitter have questioned many times what the couple is really like, and no one can explain it better than someone who was inside the villa with them.
Heat World asked Catherine and Elom in an interview about the couple.
Elom responded: "Do you know what? Zach and Molly are strong. His mind was with Kady, but his heart's with Molly at the same time. He's trying to balance all of that. I feel like they'll power through it, one hundred percent."
Catherine added: "I think similar. From obviously coming in [and being coupled up with him], and then he liked Molly, blah, blah, blah…I've actually seen that they do really get along."

The one thing islanders banned Jess from doing
Dumped islanders Leah Taylor and Montel McKenzie revealed that in the villa it's not always as dramatic as it seems and the contestants play a lot of pranks on each other.
Montel told Heat World: "[We'd do] pranks 24/7 because there was nothing else to do."
Leah went on to explain: "We played Odds On a lot and you'd have to go and do a dare. We'd do that all the time… There was one [dare] where Mitch would have to click and Ty would have to beat box until Mitch clicked again. It was for the whole day and it'd be so funny."
However, Leah added how Jess refused to do a lot of her dares and so the islanders decided to ban her from playing.
She added: "There was another one where Jess got an Odds On and someone said she had to go to the kitchen and eat five pieces of bread and she just wouldn't do it, would she? So she got banned from the all games.
"She'd play and then it would come to her to do the dare and she'd be like, 'No' and we'd be like, 'Jess you can't play anymore.'"

“She loves Love Island. And then she said 'do you want to come to the after, after party?', which was back at her hotel. It was a massive hotel room, it was more like a house.
“It was all pretty bizarre. I decided to go outside for some fresh air and then Margot comes out as well. So I was stood there ‘like what do you say to Margot Robbie?’.

Love Island viewers are accusing the producers of a fix row as they believe Whitney is being set up to fail.
Tensions boiled between Whitney and Ella last night and it urged the Scottish beauty to question her fellow islander: "Why are you so salty about this challenge?"
Meanwhile, Whitney keeps insisting that she never met a person more selfish than Ella.
Fans believe that producers have announced Whitney and Lochan as favourites to stir up drama within the villa as one said: "The producers knew what they were doing telling everyone Whitney & Lochan were the favourites. Now people are turning on them. Whitney’s honesty is now ‘bullying’ it’s a joke. If they don’t win this whole show is a complete fix."
Another posted: "The worst thing is how apparent it is that Whitney is being set up to be negatively perceived by the public on the back of being publicly labelled the favourite. Questioning her character (even though she hasn’t changed) & the ‘smug’ label- it is a target on her back."

Love Island 'set up' Olivia's feud with Zara
Zara Deniz Lackenby-Brown came out saying that producers had "set up" her feud with Olivia Hawkins while they were on Love Island.
"It all happened really fast but the question said to pick two Islanders who were the most two-faced, so I picked Ron as he said some stuff on our date about his head swiveling, and then when we got back to the villa he told me I had to graft, and I don't graft," she told the Daily Star.
She continued: "Then I had no one else to pick but I thought I'd better pick a girl as I didn't want to cockblock myself with the boys, plus no one else had given me a reason.
"But I got on really well with Tanya and Tanyel, Anna-May was the youngest, and Lana was really sweet. So, I looked at Liv and said 'Baby girl, we know each other, you know this isn't deep.'
"So, I picked her but it only aired me picking Liv, and it was a lot, I get it's a TV show and maybe I misunderstood the question. People thought I was coming for her but I wasn't."

How did Maya Jama respond to audience numbers criticism?
When Love Island started this summer, reports on how low audience numbers were compared to other seasons flooded the internet.
However, despite the bumpy start, the ITV2 show was able to bounce back after the broadcaster confirmed that it had been watched by three million people since people were tuning in to watch the catch-up on demand.
Later on, ITV reported that Love Island doubled its overnight audience and earned one the biggest number of viewers between the ages of 16 and 24 on any commercial channel since the 2022 World Cup.
Love Island host Maya Jama hit back saying: "The papers were so quick to report viewers being low, but the honeys were watching online. This season is elite, thank you very much."

While having a chat about her time on Love Island, Zara opened up on what she thought of the other islanders and that she was glad that viewers saw her "true colours."

Zara continued: "We'd do our nails whatever and just hold the chat, don't speak about the show, and just talk about the outside world. Then the next day, we would put the same bikinis on and be made to have our hair exactly the same, and then carry on for continuation."
