Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

The first look at tonight’s Love Island is teasing further drama in the burgeoning triangle between Maura, Curtis and Francesca, as the Irish meme-magnet threatens to quit the show if Curtis continues to express affection towards her love rival.

“If I choose to couple up with him and he chooses to get to know her, I swear to God I will pack my bags!” Maura explains.

In a second clip, Francesca asks Curtis, “Whose kiss did you like more? Mine or Maura’s?” Playing it coy, Curtis replies: “Yours was cute and innocent”.

Earlier, Maura appears to ask Curtis about his dinner date with Francesca. “She seems like a lovely young lady,” Curtis replies. “It’ll be nice to get to know her. Is anything going to come from it? I don’t know... I mean, I quite like talking to you.”

When Maura enquires whether Curtis is “going to get to know her”, the dancer once again plays it coy. “I don’t know,” he says, “and I don’t want to lie to you.”

Tonight’s episode will see one boy eliminated from the show as the latest recoupling sees the girls deciding who they want to couple up with next.

Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2
