Pushed back to 10pm due to extra time in the England vs Croatia game, there was a lot that needed sorting in tonight's episode.
Tension filled the villa after new boy Idris told Laura the truth about Georgia and Jack's romantic moment.
Thankfully after some very awkward chats by the pool, it seems everyone has decided to let it go (Laura is fine. She's definitely fine everyone, OKAY?!).
New contestant Alexandra joined the line-up, taking Dr Alex and New Jack for some surprisingly successful dates, much to the annoyance of Laura (she is DEFINITELY STILL FINE).
But it was Megan and Wes that would end up being the star of tonight's show. The loved-up pair cemented their tumultuous relationship by branding each other boyfriend and girlfriend.
Oh yes, and Samira is still really sad about Frankie.
Follow our take on the villa drama as it happened.
Love Island continues weekdays and Sundays at 9pm on ITV2.
Another day, another hour of sun-filled drama to devour. It may well be coming home, but nothing quite inspires a bizarre sense of patriotism like Love Island.
Important announcement! Tonight's Love Island will start at 9.30pm because of the England vs Croatia game.
Did our contestants sacrifice the chance to watch the World Cup in favour of a lengthy stay in the sun-soaked villa and a potential new partner?
In case you missed it, two new boys entered the villa last night. One was 26-year-old Kieran Nicholls, the other boxer Idris Virgo, 25.
Swaggering in screeching "wazzuppp!", the initial reaction from other contestants was tepid at best.
Despite the meagre reaction to their arrival, new boys Kieran and Idris wasted no time in getting to the girls.
Tonight will see yet another new contestant enter the villa. This time, it's Alexandra. Here's a sneak peak of what's to come:
Even if you're not interested in football and you just want to know how Jack will react to Idris dobbing him in, you might need to know what's going on with the match.
Currently it is 1-0 to England. If it stays that way it won't go to penalties, meaning you can expect your Love Island to start at the planned 9.30pm. If Croatia manage to get one in (which given the performance of England in the second half so far, it could happen) then it is highly likely ITV2 will push tonight's show back to 10pm.
I only have myself to blame, I tempted fate.
It is 1-1 with less than 10 minutes left. If it stays this way and goes into extra time, Love Island will probably get pushed back to 10pm.
