The end of the episode saw Mimii try and orchestrate a secret chat with Ayo, as she told Joey to pass on a message to meet her away from prying eyes on the terrace.
Josh, who during the challenge kissed Grace, later pulled Mimii for a chat on the day bed.
He said: ‘I feel like I understand its a challenge and I kissed Grace but you have deeper history with Ayo’.
Mimii admitted: ‘The feelings are still there, I was with the guy for weeks. Yes I kissed him and the feelings are there but they are put away.
Josh replied: ‘I just didn’t like how you handled it in that moment. I don’t like everyone saying it, it’s so embarrassing and it hurts. I deserve more than that and I can only give someone a certain amount of time.’
Fans were left conflicted by the argument as Mimii was getting a lot of blame from Josh despite him kissing Grace.
‘Does Josh not think him kissing Grace was not embarrassing for Mimii? Does he think kissing Grace was respecting Mimii??’
‘Mimii needs to back herself more in this argument though, he literally kissed Grace’.
‘Is josh forgetting he kissed Grace unprovoked prior to Mimii kissing Ayo?’

While other fans said Mimii still has feelings for Ayo which is ’embarrassing’ after he ditched her to recouple with Jessica during Casa Amor.
‘Josh is annoyed at mimii because he knows that she’s lying’.
‘Mimii what u did isn’t ok and just stop lying to him saying u don’t want ayo but then ur telling the girls u do’.
‘Mimii, please stop with this feeling because Ayo isn’t saying the same thing.’
‘Both Mimii and Josh are both wrong. Mimii clearly still wants Ayo and keeps having chats with him and Josh doesn’t want to look dumb and wants to get to know Grace which he’s now mentioned twice’
‘Mimii is going to embarrass herself, ayo is definitely over Mimii ! Personally I thought she knew when he recoupled with Jess’
Later in the show, Ayo pulled josh for a chat to tell him that he was ‘shocked’ Mimii kissed him and there is no possibility of it going any further.
He said: ‘I just wanted to let you know, her kissing me was a shock to me as well. I was like ok cool and there is nothing further for me personally.’

Josh replied: ‘I have no problem with you kissing her, the fact she kissed you I don’t get it because I actually like her.
‘If she keeps doing it I’ll have to make a decision and it’ll be her loss because she is embarrassing me and herself. She needs to get it together’.
At the end of the episode, Mimii had become very sneaky and asked Joey Essex to find Ayo and send him to the terrace to meet her secretly.
She was seen crawling on her hands and knees across the terrace as she tried to keep a low profile from the other islanders as she waited for Ayo to join her.
However, viewers will have to wait until the next installment of the ITV show as the final scenes showed Joey searching the villa to find Ayo while Mimii waited patiently.
LOVE ISLAND 2024: MEET THE CONTESTANTS
NAME: Mimii Ngulube
AGE: 24
FROM: Portsmouth
OCCUPATION: Mental Health Nurse
WHY LOVE ISLAND? The pool in Portsmouth is not giving. I’ve tried dating and speaking to people on social media and it just hasn’t been successful. Applying was a spontaneous thing, I didn’t expect to get here!
WHAT WILL YOU BRING TO THE VILLA? My girls are my rocks and I’m theirs, so I’ll be a good friend as well as going in there to find a man. I like dressing up, so I’ll bring style, and I’d like to think I’m quite funny so I’ll make people laugh. Bringing honesty as well – I’m good at picking up on people’s personality traits and side-eyeing those who might be liars.
NAME: Sean Stone
AGE: 24
FROM: Hertford
OCCUPATION: Sweets Salesman
WHY LOVE ISLAND? I’ve always been one for relationships, and when you have found someone you want to be with it’s the best feeling. Now is the perfect time, the one thing that is missing is my soulmate.
HOW WOULD FRIENDS/FAMILY DESCRIBE YOU? Very loving, caring and thoughtful. I’m the kind of guy that, if you broke down on the motorway and needed your tyre changed, I’d be there at any time of night.
NAME: Ayo Odukoya
AGE: 25
FROM: Canning Town
OCCUPATION: Model
WHAT WILL YOU BRING TO THE VILLA? I think I’d bring excitement and joy. I think people would have someone to come to and talk to and feel comfortable being around or to have a laugh with. I think I’m somebody everyone would take to.
WHY SHOULD SOMEBODY DATE YOU? I feel like the way I carry myself is very respectful and I think people take to that and once you show who you are to somebody you get it back tenfold. The way I am gives off a good enough energy for people to feel comfortable around me.
NAME: Nicole Samuel
AGE: 24
FROM: Aberdare, Wales
OCCUPATION: Accounts Manager
WHY ARE YOU SINGLE? I’ve been enjoying single life and the attention of different boys, it’s fun.

All the girls are there texting in their room and I’m out till 4 in the morning living my best life.
WHAT IS SOMETHING NOT MANY PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT YOU? I became a world champion dancer in 2011, not many people know that. I was a professional street dancer.
NAME: Ciaran Davies
AGE: 21
FROM: Pencoed, South Wales
OCCUPATION: Surveyor
WHAT’S YOUR TYPE ON PAPER? Obviously looks but humour is a big thing for me, I’m a bit of a wind up so I want a girl who can give it back. Loyalty is another one for me: I think that’s the most important thing to look for in a relationship.
WHAT IS SOMETHING NOT MANY PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT YOU? When I was in Malia on a boys holiday I pretended to be Liam Reardon from series 7 to get into a club because they wouldn’t let us in. It worked and we ended up getting a private booth and free drinks all night.

WHY ARE YOU SINGLE? No guys have good communication and it’s painful. I like someone who doesn’t take themselves and life too seriously.
