But some viewers think some of the Islanders are not interested in finding love at all and are actually on the show to play a "long game" and get themselves on to the upcoming season of Love Island All-Stars.
"Anyone else getting the vibe that some of these islanders are just...playing the long game?" wrote one curious fan on Reddit.
"Maybe they want a connection and the prize money, but I swear knowing All Stars is coming up feels like it actually benefits them to just mess around more. Why bother with serious commitment when you know you might get another shot at fame anyway?"
Another fan replied saying they believed this was exactly Harry's strategy.

"This is Harry entire gameplay, he's not serious about any girl, he just want to be known as a menace and get on All Stars," they replied.
Another person added: "Exactly! Even if they don't win, they'll get much more money and fame staying as a couple with deals etc for a while until it no longer serves them and then they'll break up once they've reached a certain level. Lots of previous couples have done this."
And a third wrote: "It's sadly becoming more common I think. People have seen what it's done for people's success in terms of followers, brand deals etc. so use it as a way to gain those perks rather than love. However, the show has been a bit more unsuccessful the past few seasons and I think the audience have started to see through the schemes."
Fans watched during Sunday night's episode how Harry admitted his exes, Emma and Shakira kissed better than Helena, after snogging them both in the secret challenge.

The lads were blindfolded and wearing headphones, while the girls made their way down the line and smooched each of them in turn.
After enjoying kisses with all the girls, Harry scored Helena an eight, but gave Emma an 8.5 and Shakira a 9.

During Helena's kiss with Harry, she wrapped her hand around his neck as a signal to him that it was her.
When it came to describing their kiss, Harry said: "A familiar one for me, I've had the hand around the neck before, as for the kiss itself an eight out of ten."
Speaking in the Beach Hut, a disappointed Helena said: "Harry scored me an eight, I'm trying to work out if he didn't realise it was me, but I don't know how he wouldn't realise that was me."
Emma then worked her way down the line-up during her turn.

She then enjoyed a long kiss with Harry, which promoted Helena to say: "Emma and Harry's kiss went on for a long time, f*** off Emma."
Harry described the kiss: "She grabbed the bum cheeks straight away, I've got a little spring in my step back and slowed things down on the kissing front which I'm a big fan of."

The former reality star also posed in her glasses as the face of an exclusive VIP event for Boots opticians. However, she also relaxed away from the cameras as she attended the Oasis concert at Wembley Stadium with her husband Bradley Dack. He looked absolutely delighted as he wrapped his arms around her in an intimate selfie from their private hospitality box. Not stopping there, she was busy in the voiceover booth recording segments for forthcoming editions of Olivia Attwood's Bad Boyfriends. This Morning fans deliver verdict on Olivia Attwood as she makes her debut as new co-host with Dermot O'Leary After that, the star met a group of fans on the set of a special Love Island fashion event for eBay Live. She was dressed in a silk white wrap top with beige wide leg trousers as she was joined by Casey O'Gorman and Sophie Piper. Olivia captioned the album: "I get around." The star previously faced backlash when she made her debut on the flagship ITV daytime magazine programme. Olivia Attwood's Career History From Monster grid girl and Love Island star to daytime telly panellist and respected documentary maker, Olivia Attwood has made a huge career pivot in recent years... Olivia first started as a Monster grid girl at motorsport events in 2012 when she was 19-years-old, and did it right up until she went into Love Island in 2017. After placing third in the reality show with then-boyfriend Chris Hughes, she starred in their own spin-off series, Chris & Olivia: Crackin' On, in 2018. Later that year, she appeared on Celebs Go Dating and then joined the cast of The Only Way Is Essex in 2019, where she had a number of fiery on-screen rows. In 2020, the reality TV veteran began starring in her own reality series on ITVBe titled Olivia Meets Her Match, which followed her wedding preparations with footballer Bradley Dack. In 2021, the tide started to turn. Olivia made appearances on household shows Lorraine, Tipping Point: Lucky Stars and Loose Women. Then, in 2022, ITV commissioned her for her first ever documentary series. She presented Olivia Attwood: Getting Filthy Rich, which explored women selling sexual content online. In June 2023, ITV commissioned Olivia Marries Her Match and made her a regular guest panellist on Loose Women. Her most recent docu-series, Olivia Attwood: The Price of Perfection, aired in January this year where she sensitively explored the cosmetic industry. Her reality background didn't go down well with some of the more traditionalist viewers, who vowed to switch off. Olivia clapped back at the trolls who shared their dismay with her appointment in the role, as she insisted "there's much more to me." Her colleague Josie Gibson, 40, who is a regular presenter on This Morning, later defended Olivia, saying she's 'brilliant' in the role. She told The Sun: "Oh my God she's brilliant. It's brilliant she gets to do this and I think she's really good. Yeah, really good. Those who know me understand the hard work I've put in to get where I am today. Olivia Attwood "Honestly, you get some backlash like that in this industry and I really don't know why people do it." The former Big Brother star added: "I'll never understand why people do it, you know. To me, I've always loved to see people do well and I genuinely love it. "I think Olivia is brilliant in the role." 10 Olivia Attwood was also the face for an exclusive VIP event for Boots Opticians Credit: 10 Olivia danced with her co-host Dermot O'Leary in a video captured by her entourage Credit: 10 She gave her 2.4million fans a sneak peak her working life Credit: 10 She's also been busy getting new episodes together for her reality show, Bad Boyfriends Credit: 10 The personality delighted meeting fans on the set of Ebay Live's Love Island event Credit: 10 Olivia still managed to get some personal time in with her husband Credit:

Fans then previously insisted the late arrival should win the series after dishing out home truths to Harry before revealing the real reason for their split. Now Emma, who underwent an image revamp prior to her time in the dating programme, has let slip their last conversation before he entered the ITV2 series as a show OG. She denied knowing he was going on the matchmaking series and said: "No, he [Harry] sent me the weirdest text right before he went into holding. Advertisement "And he basically said 'oh you won't be able to contact me for the summer, please get hold of my mum if you need anything.' "I thought oh he's going to rehab. "Or he's checked into a wellness centre, how wrong was I?" Emma, who was recently given the boot from the show, told how she first became aware of his telly gig when she saw his Instagram post. Advertisement She added: "I wasn't shocked you know. Spot the blink and you'll miss it moment that proves Love Islanders Emma and Harry are still in love - did you see it? "I feel like this is a bit of him, he'd be the perfect candidate. "And he has been, he's carried the show on his back lets be honest." PLOT REVEAL During their time in the villa together, the pair's connection appeared to take a turn - after Harry pulled Emma for a chat and they enjoyed some new banter about PDA. Advertisement Fans were then quick to claim the brunette's "real mask had slipped." This was exacerbated when she was heard discussing the show's £50K cash prize pot on the ITV2 series. In spin off show Aftersun, host Maya Jama directly asked the TV show star why. She said: "You're one of the few Islanders who have actually mentioned the 50k." Advertisement Emma replied: "We have broken the fourth wall," to which Maya said: "You did, can you clarify what you meant by that? "I think you said something after like 'ahh play along' something like that?" Emma giggled before she said: "Look I'm glad you brought that up because the whole thing was a complete joke. "Harry and I had nothing else to talk about and we are both really playful but I can confirm there was no game plan and we were just being silly.

A STAR from Love Island has sparked concern as she revealed that she's jetted on holiday to meet a man she's known for just 48 hours. Many of her fans flooded her most recent social media post after her romance on the ITV2 dating show came to an end. 5 LONDON, ENGLAND – JULY 11: Jessy Potts attends the White Fox Heatwave Event on July 11, 2025 in London, England.

Just seven weeks after leaving the infamous Love Island villa, the pair called time on their romance. Now the star has taken to somewhat desperate measures to find her Mr Right. Taking advantage of the viral Jet2 Holiday advert campaign, Jesy recorded a video of herself boarding a plane from the holiday operator. But as the voiceover blared out on her TikTok profile, she made strange faces at the phone camera as she walked on the tarmac. The caption on top of the video read: "Just a girl on her way to a different country to spend a week with a man she met for 48 hours. Almost immediately, droves of her loyal followers flooded the comments section with concerns for the former reality personality. One fan exclaimed: "That's abit dogey!" A second stated: "Good luck gf !! Blink twice if you need help," alongside a concerned emoji face. "911 on dial just in case, noted a third social media user. Love Island's wildest and sexiest terrace moments While a fourth suggested: "Sounds like the start of a perfect love story, or a horror film. Love you my girl be safe." While someone else sarcastically asked: "Do you watch true crime at all Jessy(???)" And a sixth stated: "I live this for you, just please be careful." This comes after she previously revealed that her sister was brutally axed from the Love Island line-up in a major U-turn by bosses. Love Island series 11 - feuds in the villa No edition of Love Island is complete without its fair share of drama - and series 11 is no different. Here's a look at some of the most fiery feuds so far. Joey Essex & Samantha Kenny: Samantha entered the villa on Day 1 and was initially coupled with Sam Taylor. However, Samantha was 'stolen' by Joey, the first bombshell of series 11. She was 'dumped' on Day 16 - with the make-up artist saying she had been brutally snubbed by Joey in the villa - although it never made it to air.

She revealed to fans on Snapchat: "Yeah so when I first had an interview with Love Island we didn't know what it was for we just knew we were doing a call with ITV and they wanted sisters, they were looking for siblings.
