Love Island spoilers follow.

Yesterday's Love Island saw two more bombshells land in the villa, and a surprise dumping for Zara.

Today's episode (February 2) sees the newbies complete their mission, getting to know three girls each on private dates.

Kai kicks off the day by pulling Olivia aside for a chat amongst the romance of the bean bags.

Although she's currently partnered up with Spencer, she admits “Not to blow your head up but you are more my type. But I think that’s obvious because I picked you on the first day.”

Is that chemistry in the air?

Meanwhile, the bombshell boys are picking their final dates, pulling them away from the pool for vineyard dates.

Jordan and Olivia immediately connect over their future plans, both looking to form a family after leaving the villa, and a candid chat between Olivia and Spencer in the evening confirms that both parties of the couple are ready to move on.

Casey decides to chat to Lana when back with the main gang, and the two instantly feel a bond. Ron and Casey find themselves in the kitchen in the morning trying to rustle up a meal for Lana, with Ron quipping "Is that it now, is it going to be the race for Lana’s breakfast?”

Full English with a side of love triangle coming right up.

Later on, the girls are given a challenge to kiss every boy in the villa and be rated for their efforts. And there's drama.

After the game Lana is pulled aside by Olivia, who thinks that the kiss between 'best friends' Ron and Tanyel went on for too long, with Lana agreeing: “It got that long that I looked away.”

For the most solid couple so far things are even deeper, with Shaq unhappy about Tanya winning the challenge. Shaq asks Ron if he’s overreacting for thinking that her bold efforts were disrespectful, exclaiming “She literally said that she loves me the other day and then she goes and does that.”

While Shaq says he's not ready to speak to his other half, Tanya says of his reaction: "If there’s one thing that would give me the ick, it’s this.”

Has the first love match of this season been shaken?
