The first episode of Love Island is set to air on Monday night on ITV2 at 9pm and viewers are set to see a whole lot of saucy action from sucking toes to snogging.
The Islanders are nearing the end of their first day in paradise and this evening they gather at the fire pit for a game of dares.
Toby’s up first and picks out a dare from the box which reads: “One of you must suck the toes of the other for 30 seconds.”
Love Island SPOILER: Sucking toes, earlobes and the first villa snog – the first episode of the show kicks off with a game of very saucy dares (pictured: Faye)
Speaking in the Beach Hut after the dare, Toby said: “I think I got the worst one, but you know what? I’m up for it because it’s all a laugh.” But will his partner be up for it?
Up next is Brad and his dare reads: “You and your partner must snog for 30 seconds.” But who will be locking lips in the first Villa kiss of 2021?
Speaking in the Beach Hut after the kiss, Brad said: “Decent kiss. It went on a bit too long I think.”
Hunk alert: Could Jake be about to receive the first kiss in the villa?
It’s soon Sharon’s turn for a dare. Sharon reads: “One of you must suck the other’s earlobe for 30 seconds.”
Speaking in the Beach Hut, Sharon said: “Earlobe sucking is probably not something I do on the first day that I meet someone. Actually, I don’t do that when I first meet someone. It was just a bit weird!”
However, the Islanders game of dares is soon interrupted as Toby receives a text.
Toby has received a voice note from Chloe which says: “Hey boys. How are you?
Chloe here. I’ve just arrived and I’m outside the front of the Villa. I’d like to take you all on a date but I’ll let you guys decide who wants to come and join me. Hopefully I’ll see you soon.”
Party time: The new islanders get dressed up as they let their hair down straight away
The game of dares came after the girls – Kaz, Liberty, Sharon, Faye and Shannon – all make their entrance and begin getting to know one another at the iconic fire pit.
But it isn’t long before host Laura Whitmore arrives at the Villa and asks the girls to line up by the pool.
Eagerly awaiting the arrival of the boys, Liberty says: “I’m ready for the hotties. Anyone else?”
Ahead of the first coupling up, Laura asks the girls how they’re feeling. Liberty says: “I’m nervous but I’m excited to see what potential is coming through the doors.”
Speaking about what she is looking for, Kaz says: “I just like muscles and biceps, nice backs and nice bodies!”
On whether personality is important to her, Faye says: “We need the personality; if he’s not bringing the personality, I don’t want him!”
Speaking about her ‘turn-offs’, Sharon says: “White jeans and an ego.”
The time arrives for the girls to meet the boys as host Laura says: “I think it’s about time we meet some boys. What do you think? One by one the guys are going to come in, you’re going to decide if you like them or not. If you fancy them, you step forward and once you step forward or not, each boy will then decide who they want to couple up with. So, who is ready to meet our first boy?”
The boys – Jake, Aaron, Hugo, Toby and Brad – make their entrance one by one and are greeted by the girls.
The five matches are soon made and following the coupling up Laura says: “Will you stay together? Or will your heads be turned?”
But before leaving the Villa, Laura says: “Girls, just a little bit of advice from me, if you want to keep hold of your man you may have to graft a little bit harder, that’s all I’m saying.”
