10 Best Love Island Moments
We’ll have these on repeat until next year…
Curtis will probably be saying “Holy hell” when he watches back the eight weeks of pure drama that Love Island has given us this year. More than ever, if you missed one night’s episode this year, you could be coming back
to an entire new set of couples. We’ve had multiple people pied off, and quite a few mugs mugged off – with a sprinkling of actual romance in between. Looking back at the ups and downs of the class of 2019’s best bits, all we can say is… it is what it is.
1 Molly-mae returns from Casa amor
Tommy and Molly-mae spent a nerve-wracking four nights convinced that the other one would have their head turned. And for us viewers, after seeing Tommy sleep outside with Ellie-belly, we were already emotional. But when Molly-mae was reunited with her love in the main villa and dramatically dropped to the floor, we all broke down sobbing with her.
2 amy and Curtis split
We thought they were going to be the golden couple of Love Island, and then Casa Amor happened. After Curtis cracked on with Jourdan (who didn’t return the cracking on), Amy was left heartbroken, and we were heartbroken with her. After making notes on her phone – life hack to remember – Amy listed the reasons Curtis wasn’t right for her anyway, and left the villa shortly after. You go, girl.
3 Joe - obsessed or absolutely right?
We never thought we’d be comparing a Love Islander to You’s Joe Goldberg and his obsessive ways. But when Joe started berating Lucie for being friends with Tommy over the girls, the comparison was impossible to ignore. We were all horrified when Joe told Lucie, “I thought I could trust you”, after just two days – although, in a shock twist, he was vindicated when Lucie admitted her feelings for Tommy.
4 anton’s general ‘lack of game’
Poor puppy. Anton came bounding into that villa expecting the girls to fall at his feet, and, well, they didn’t. And when he finally managed to get Belle to give him a chance, he inexplicably decided to do things like give his number to a random shop assistant and kiss Anna on the lips in the Snog, Marry, Pie challenge. Maybe your bum-shaving mum really is the only woman for you, Anton?
5 Tommy’s gourmet meal for maura
Tommy had to prepare a starter good enough to woo a woman. His dish – sliced cheese on bread with mayonnaise and ketchup – should have gone straight on the compost heap (although we secretly quite fancy it).
6 Maura’s lap dance
We already knew she was a confident girl, but when Maura strutted over in her catsuit to dirty dance for the boys, she really let them know who was boss. Firmly making her claim on Curtis just days after Amy left the villa, Maura straddled the fella and got busy sucking face. “Trobbin”, she was.
7 Yewande being ‘affectionate’
After Danny told her something was missing in their relationship, Yewande’s attempts at being affectionate were painful to watch. First, she pied off a kiss from him. Then she actually said, “I’m going to go down there and be affectionate… for three minutes” and proceeded to sit on him like a toddler.
8 Ovie’s tears Over George
By far the MVP, Ovie won everyone over with his so-laid-back-he’shorizontal attitude and for making us shout, “MESSAGE” every time someone got a text. But we fell for him all over again when he broke down in tears for “not fighting” to keep pal George in the villa. We’ve still got the hots for this Big Friendly Giant.
9 tom ruins things With maura
Having just been gifted the coveted keys to the hideaway, Tom got too big for his boots and told the lads that it would be interesting to see if Maura was “all mouth”. It went dramatically downhill from there, and Maura soon discovered Tom had also called her “cringey”, “OTT” and “an attentionseeker”. The fiery exchanges at last gifted us the stunning meme of Michael warning Tom about Maura eavesdropping outside the bedroom.
10 marvin and George’s double dumping
A lot of weird things happen in that villa over eight weeks, but one of the more bizarre this year was Lucie and Maura’s decision to sack off their men together. Like a throwback to Year 6, the two giggly girls sat George and Marvin down and gave them two pies for the price of one. Poor Marvin actually managed to hold his own against Maura, and for that, Sir, we salute you.
