Left in limbo by Island’s himbos and bimbos

LOVE ISLAND (ITV2)

Young people these days spend their time doing weird things the rest of us just don’t understand.

If you’re under 25 you’re probably either playing Fortnite on the Xbox, Instagramm­ing pictures of avocados, or being a contestant on Love Island.

There are currently six million people in the villa this year, or at least that’s what it looks like when they tried to squeeze all 14 singles on to the sofa last week.

With more himbos and bimbos trying to pair off than ever, things have become enjoyably fraught on the Island.

Mop-haired cherub Eyal is keen for everyone to think he’s a hippy-dippy model who just, like, respects you, man.

But shrewdly sensing he was about to be ditched by the thoroughly simple Hayley, supposedly chilled-out Eyal moved in on new contestant Megan like a great white shark does a wounded seal.

Which was a shame for sad Alex, who was in the process of chatting up Megan himself.

As a handsome doctor, Alex would probably have a queue of ladies feigning illness back in Blighty but in the villa he’s just a gangly, big brother type.

It says a lot that a man who thrives in an A&E ward looks traumatise­d in the villa.

I don’t blame him, we normal people would flounder, too.

It looks difficult enough given the odd language the contestant­s use, with words like melt, aggy, and muggy.

It’s like trying to follow an amorous version of eggy-peggy.

Impersonat­or Alastair McGowan’s shows were often criticised for nailing the imitations while lacking much good material.

Meanwhile Tracey Ullman doesn’t really do good impression­s…or feature much funny material either.
