Boris confesses to Billykiss how he's really feeling about their dwindling connection - and ends up calling it quits. He tells her: 'We don't have the same sparkle as it was before. Maybe we should try to explore new connections.' Billykiss replies: 'I feel like your energy shifted and the spark was slowly dissolving, but I feel like it was because of you… ' Boris then sets his sights on Emma and invites her for a secret chat in the Hideaway. Whilst on the swing, the two get to know one another better and then head to the hot tub where things get steamy and they share their first kiss. 6 Cach gets emotional tonight Credit: Eroteme 6 Billykiss and Boris go their separate ways Credit: Eroteme 6 Boris has his eye on another Islander Credit: Eroteme
