Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. 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.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Another day, another step closer to the end of Love Island.

Last night's episode saw... well, not much happened following the shock departure of Georgia and Sam, the couple deciding to leave the villa together during Thursday's episode (she was loyal after all).

The hour of TV was dedicated to Jack and New Laura, who went on their first date after recoupling, while Paul made the shock reveal to Old Laura that he once kissed Britney Spears.

Her response? "Was she single." Paul went on to explain it was part of his job (he appears in music video fro 2016 single "Make Me" which you can take a gander at below), but Laura remained unimpressed.


Elsewhere, Dr Alex stepped it up a notch in proving to Alexandra that he shouldn't have called it off with her mere days ago

As always, The Independent live-blogged which you can catch up with below. Please allow a moment to load.


Love Island continues weekdays and Sunday on ITV2 at 9pm.

Jack and Dani, scheming away, are trying to convince Dr Alex to do role play.

Dr Alex: "But she knows who I am!"

I fear Dr Alex has misunderstood the premise of role play.

That's right, they're doing it. Dr Alex and Lady Alex are genuinely role playing. Totally constructed, unbelievable, awkward...well it's like any other Love Island date, right?

Genuinely unbelievably, it worked. In what must be the most cringey moment of the series, Dr Alex's role playing led to a steamy kiss with Alex. Go figure.

FINALLY what we've all be waiting for: Paul is talking about being in a Britney Spears music video

Woah that escalated fast. Paul claims to have kissed Britney Spears. Blimey.

And of course in true Laura style, she has even managed to get jealous of this fact

Bit the Britney drama is all behind us, Paul and Old Laura (yet again, not a comment on her age) are getting it on. We can't even keep up with the amount of kissing in this episode.

Phew! That's a wrap folks. Here's what happened on tonight's Love Island:

- Jack and New Laura went on a romantic date (genuinely seemed quite pleasant)

- Dr Alex managed to win Alex back with some rather alarming role playing

- Jack and Dani are still perfect

- Old Laura and Paul kiss - only after he revealed that not only was he in a Britney Spears music video, but he claims to have kissed her
