Ciaran Davies and Nicole Samuel were both left fuming at each other following the results of Tuesday night’s heart rate challenge.
Nicole, 24, expressed frustration after the 21-year-old had his heart raised the most by blonde bombshell Grace Jackson.
And in Wednesday night’s upcoming episode, the couple hit a rocky patch as they discussed to fellow islanders how they felt about the game.
Ciaran tells Ronnie Fint: ‘Everytime there is a game, a challenge or anything I say or do, it’s always the same reaction. What can I do? It’s a game…I’m fed up of going in circles mate…
‘I like the girl a lot and really want it to go somewhere but there is only so much I can do.’

Confiding in Uma at the same time, Nicole says about Grace: ‘She is absolutely beautiful, she’s stunning…he just knocks me back all of the time.
Uma says: ‘Don’t let this knock you back, you’re stunning Nic’s.
Nicole says: ‘It’s just not nice to hear is it. I just want him to fancy me more.’
Will the two be able to overcome this latest obstacle?
Elsewhere in the episode, the villa plays a raunchy game of Never Have I Ever, causing a stir between some couples.
From checking partners’ phones, sleeping with someone over 20 years older than themselves and revealing if they’ve had sex in public, the Islanders do not hold back.
Uma reads: ‘Never have I ever been two-faced about someone in this Villa’.
Ciaran then reveals he has heard someone be two faced about himself and Nicole… but who is he talking about?
One islander storms off during the game and leaves the fire pit in fury.

Confiding in co-star Harriett Blackmore, Grace explained her feelings of confusion, saying, ‘I’m fuming, I’ll be honest.
‘With Joey, he has been how he has been with me, this constant reassurance and feeling like I genuinely believe and trust everything he’s saying. He’s been that way with me, so it’s made me open up and be that way with him.
‘For him to then go on a date and come back in. I felt like he was so cold with me… his energy was so off.’

Jessy chose to go on a date with Joey following her arrival in the villa after saying he ‘intrigued’ her and she was keen to get to know the man behind the reality TV persona.

Joey and Grace’s relationship has been on the rocks since they found themselves in the bottom three following a public vote.
The couple met on holiday last year and their romance continued once they were home, but they eventually split over their lack of time together, with Grace based in Manchester and Joey, Essex.
Bombshell Konnor Ewudzi chose to couple up with Grace, stealing her from Joey, after the model refused to confirm whether they were ‘closed off’ to pursuing new connections.
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, 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 a liar.
NAME: Sean Stone
AGE: 24
FROM: Hertford
OCCUPATION: Sweet 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: Harriett Blackmore
AGE: 24
FROM: Brighton

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. I’ve enjoyed being able to go on holiday with the girls and not having to worry about someone back home. 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.

WHY ARE YOU SINGLE? I don’t underestimate the fact that I’m hard work. I know what I want and I’m not easily pleased. When you’re a loud, outgoing woman, sometimes it can intimidate men – men don’t always want that.
WHAT’S YOUR TYPE ON PAPER? I love a set of white Turkey teeth but a good set of Turkey teeth. I would say personality traits, you have to be family orientated. You have to be tall, you can’t be shorter than me, I can’t be having to question whether I can wear heels around you and what height of heels I can wear. If you’re vertically challenged, it’s not for me.

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.
CLAIM T0 FAME? 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.

NAME: Jessy Potts
AGE: 25
FROM: Leicester
OCCUPATION: Brand Partnerships Associate
WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU WILL BRING TO THE VILLA? I’m fun, I like to get involved so I’d like to think I will get stuck in as soon as I arrive.

I’m not very good at taking no for an answer.
