There’s a growing rift between the boys in the villa – and it only got bigger during last night’s episode. <\/p>
There\u2019s not a huge amount of love between the boys in the Love Island<\/a> villa after last night\u2019s (Thursday 9th February) episode, with the group splitting into two factions and the drama kicking off \u2013 all over a few dirty dishes.<\/p>\n The ITV2 reality show is approaching the end of its fourth week and while the couples are stronger than ever, friendships are starting to crack as personalities clash \u2013 ahem,\u00a0Ron Hall<\/a> and Shaq Muhammad<\/a>.<\/p>\n If you missed all the drama of yesterday, then make sure to catch up with RadioTimes.com<\/a>\u2018s latest recap video above. Don\u2019t forget to check out our brand new companion show,\u00a0The Love Island Lowdown<\/a>, for all the latest gossip, behind-the-scenes theories and predictions for the rest of season 9.<\/p>\n Episode 25 began with yet another shock re-coupling, however this time there\u2019d be a single girl packing her bags at the end of the night.<\/p>\n While Lana Jenkins<\/a> reunited with Ron, Tom Clare<\/a> picked Samie Elishi<\/a> despite being open to new bombshell\u00a0Claudia Fogarty<\/a>, who was chosen by smitten\u00a0Casey O\u2019Gorman<\/a>.\u00a0Jordan Odofin<\/a> was the last to couple up and ultimately went with Ellie Spence<\/a>.<\/p>\n This meant we had to say goodbye to Tanyel Revan<\/a> who, despite being on the show since day 1, had struggled to find a love connection. After tears were shed for Tanyel, the rest of the islanders waved the north London girl goodbye.<\/p>\n Back in the villa, the boys noticed that a divide was forming between Shaq\u2019s friend group \u2013 Casey, Will Young<\/a>, Tom and Jordan \u2013 and Ron\u2019s mini group with Kai Fagan<\/a>. While Shaq said that it was because they were the boys who weren\u2019t afraid to call out Ron\u2019s poor treatment of Lana over the past few weeks, they ultimately decided to try and heal the rift between them.<\/p> The next day, the lads talked it all out and agreed to be more unified, just in time for a text to arrive challenging them to cook for the ladies. The boys descended on the kitchen and while Will, Tom and Casey weren\u2019t much help, they became the servers for the night.<\/p>\n After a three-course meal that left the girls very happy (except for when Olivia Hawkins<\/a> asked for her under-cooked steak to return to the frying pan), the boys reached boiling point when they noticed that Ron wasn\u2019t helping wash up.<\/p>\n With the rest of the boys irritated by Ron\u2019s decision to chat with the girls, Shaq repeatedly called him over to help but when Ron continued to ignore him, he lost his cool, ordering Ron to get in the kitchen.<\/p>\n Lana, Tanya Manhenga<\/a> and Ron weren\u2019t impressed with Shaq telling off Ron, with the girls noting that it wasn\u2019t just about the washing up and that there was clear underlying tension between the two men.<\/p>\n Will they be able to put their differences aside and enjoy the time they have left in the villa? We\u2019ll have to tune in to the show tonight to find out.<\/p>\n Love Island continues on ITV2 at 9pm on Friday 10th February 2023.
