The Islanders’ final dates start tonight and Ella B hears of Mitch’s ‘fake’ comments

Tonight on Love Island the couples begin to be sent on their epic final dates, which are always filled with stunning settings, romantic gestures and a whole lotta cringy love talk.

However, for one couple this is overshadowed by comments made the previous night. Yep, Ella B hears all about how Mitch branded her “fake” and said she’s only with him to stay on the show.

The Islanders are all sleeping as Ella B receives a text which reads: “Ella B and Mitch. It’s now time for your final date, please get ready to leave the villa. #PieceOfParadise #HeartStrings”. Ella B and Mitch arrive at the romantic location for their final date as world-class musician and cellist HAUSER delivers a magical performance for the couple.

Sitting down and reflecting on their journey, Mitch says: “I’m very happy with how we are right now and this is exactly who I want to be spending this date with.” Ella B says: “To be honest from the moment we had that date, I just knew we had a connection.”

The pair enjoy their one-on-one time together and discuss the next steps in their relationship. But soon it’s time for them to make a decision as each couple will vote for who they believe to be the least compatible couple.

While Ella B and Mitch are out of the villa on their final date, Zach tells Molly about the comments Mitch made in the bedroom the previous night. Zach says: “He started saying Ella B is fake.” Molly then pulls Whitney for a chat and says: “Mitch has spoken to the boys and last night he basically said to them that he thinks Ella B’s fake.” Ella B and Mitch arrive back at the villa after their epic final date and Whitney wastes no time in pulling Ella B for a chat.

Later on, Zach receives a text telling him it’s time for his date with Molly. Molly and Zach arrive at a luxury villa which has been given a pink makeover. Zach says: “I don’t know if you’ve noticed but you match the scenery.” Molly says: “This is literally my dream.”

Looking back at their time in the villa, Molly says: “To be given the chance to start this again was the best opportunity for me. We just took the time to get it back on track and work things out.” Zach says: “It’s really exciting what I think is going to come from this. I’m really looking forward to doing this journey with you.”

Zach then tells Molly how he feels about her. Does she feel the same way? And who will the couple deem the least compatible couple before they head back to the villa?

Later that night, Ella receives a text which reads: “Ella and Tyrique. It’s now time for your final date, please get ready to leave the Villa. #ItsFire #BurningLove”. The pair arrive at a stunning courtyard adorned with flaming hearts as they watch a spectacular dance performance, before sitting down for a romantic dinner for two.

Ella says: “I wouldn’t change anything that has happened – I feel like everything that has happened has made us stronger.” Tyrique says: “You’ve definitely opened my eyes to a whole new way of living. I’ve never been a one woman guy. Just being with you and focusing on you, I feel way happier and fulfilled.”

Tyrique then has a question for Ella. What will be her answer? And before heading back to the villa, they’ll need to decide who they’re voting for as the least compatible couple – who will they choose?
