Love Island SPOILER: Nicole and Ciaran hit a rocky patch after awkward heart rate challenge results... while a racy game of Never Have I Ever causes shockwaves in the villa

Ciaran Davies and Nicole Samuel were both left fuming at each other following the results of Tuesday night's heart rate challenge.

Nicole, 24, expressed frustration after the 21-year-old had his heart raised the most by blonde bombshell Grace Jackson.

And in Wednesday night's upcoming episode, the couple hit a rocky patch as they discussed to fellow islanders how they felt about the game.

Ciaran tells Ronnie Fint: 'Everytime there is a game, a challenge or anything I say or do, it’s always the same reaction. What can I do? It’s a game…I’m fed up of going in circles mate…

'I like the girl a lot and really want it to go somewhere but there is only so much I can do.'

Confiding in Uma at the same time, Nicole says about Grace: 'She is absolutely beautiful, she’s stunning…he just knocks me back all of the time.

Uma says: 'Don’t let this knock you back, you’re stunning Nic’s.

Nicole says: 'It’s just not nice to hear is it. I just want him to fancy me more.'

Will the two be able to overcome this latest obstacle?

Elsewhere in the episode, the villa plays a raunchy game of Never Have I Ever, causing a stir between some couples.

From checking partners' phones, sleeping with someone over 20 years older than themselves and revealing if they’ve had sex in public, the Islanders do not hold back.

Uma reads: 'Never have I ever been two-faced about someone in this Villa'.

Ciaran then reveals he has heard someone be two faced about himself and Nicole... but who is he talking about?

One islander storms off during the game and leaves the fire pit in fury. 

And in Wednesday night's upcoming episode, the couple hit a rocky patch as they discussed to fellow islanders how they felt about the game

Joey Essex breaks the heart of his ex-girlfriend Grace Jackson after ditching her for a second time in favour of Love Island's new blonde bombshell.

The former TOWIE star, 33, claims his connection with newcomer Jessy Potts, 25, is stronger than the one he shares with Grace, who he dated last summer when they met on holiday in Ibiza.

Grace, 25, is left in tears after Joey returns from dating Jessy with changed feelings and sidelines her completely despite the couple recently speaking about taking their relationship to the next level.

TV star Joey confesses to having an instant attraction to Jessy and the feeling is mutual after the Leicester-born influencer admitted to finding him 'good looking' ahead of her villa entrance.

Jessy's presence on the show marks the beginning of the end for Joey and Grace, whose romance hangs by a thread following heated rows and hurt feelings in Wednesday's night episode.

A TV source told MailOnline: 'Grace is devastated… she believed in her romance with Joey, the history they share together and everything they have built since her arrival in the Love Island villa.

'But Joey has completely dismissed their time as a couple in pursuit of his new connection and even claimed his initial spark with Jessy was stronger than his feelings towards Grace after two weeks.

'Their impending breakup causes huge disruption in the villa, with Wednesday's episode set to be the most dramatic of the series.'

Revealing his immediate connection with Jessy, Joey said, 'I felt I got deeper in 20 minutes with Jessy than with Grace.' 

Confiding in co-star Harriett Blackmore, Grace explained her feelings of confusion, saying, 'I'm fuming, I'll be honest.

'With Joey, he has been how he has been with me, this constant reassurance and feeling like I genuinely believe and trust everything he's saying. He's been that way with me, so it's made me open up and be that way with him.

'For him to then go on a date and come back in. I felt like he was so cold with me… his energy was so off.'

Expressing her heartbreak, Grace told Joey: 'I am so disappointed in you.' 

Jessy chose to go on a date with Joey following her arrival in the villa after saying he 'intrigued' her and she was keen to get to know the man behind the reality TV persona. 

At first, Joey looked irritated by the idea of dating someone new, before meeting Jessy, still topless and wearing a crown following the show's Heart Rate Challenge. 

Joey and Grace's relationship has been on the rocks since they found themselves in the bottom three following a public vote.

The couple met on holiday last year and their romance continued once they were home, but they eventually split over their lack of time together, with Grace based in Manchester and Joey, Essex. 

Bombshell Konnor Ewudzi chose to couple up with Grace, stealing her from Joey, after the model refused to confirm whether they were 'closed off' to pursuing new connections.

LOVE ISLAND 2024: MEET THE CONTESTANTS

NAME: Mimii Ngulube

AGE: 24

FROM: Portsmouth

OCCUPATION: Mental Health Nurse

WHY LOVE ISLAND? The pool in Portsmouth is not giving. I've tried dating and speaking to people on social media and it just hasn't been successful. Applying was a spontaneous thing, I didn't expect to get here! 

WHAT WILL YOU BRING TO THE VILLA? My girls are my rocks and I'm theirs, so I'll be a good friend as well as going in there to find a man. I like dressing up, so I'll bring style, and I'd like to think I'm quite funny so I'll make people laugh. Bringing honesty as well - I'm good at picking up on people's personality traits and side-eyeing those who might be liars.

 

 

NAME:  Sean Stone

AGE: 24

FROM: Hertford

OCCUPATION: Sweets Salesman

WHY LOVE ISLAND? I've always been one for relationships, and when you have found someone you want to be with it's the best feeling. Now is the perfect time, the one thing that is missing is my soulmate. 

HOW WOULD FRIENDS/FAMILY DESCRIBE YOU? Very loving, caring and thoughtful. I'm the kind of guy that, if you broke down on the motorway and needed your tyre changed, I'd be there at any time of night. 

 

NAME: Ayo Odukoya

AGE: 25

FROM: Canning Town

OCCUPATION: Model

WHAT WILL YOU BRING TO THE VILLA? I think I'd bring excitement and joy. I think people would have someone to come to and talk to and feel comfortable being around or to have a laugh with. I think I'm somebody everyone would take to.

WHY SHOULD SOMEBODY DATE YOU? I feel like the way I carry myself is very respectful and I think people take to that and once you show who you are to somebody you get it back tenfold. The way I am gives off a good enough energy for people to feel comfortable around me. 

 

NAME:  Nicole Samuel

AGE: 24

FROM: Aberdare, Wales

OCCUPATION: Accounts Manager

WHY ARE YOU SINGLE? I've been enjoying single life and the attention of different boys, it's fun. I've enjoyed being able to go on holiday with the girls and not having to worry about someone back home. All the girls are there texting in their room and I'm out till 4 in the morning living my best life.

WHAT IS SOMETHING NOT MANY PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT YOU? I became a world champion dancer in 2011, not many people know that. I was a professional street dancer. 

 

NAME: Jess White

AGE: 25

FROM: Stockport

OCCUPATION: Retail Manager

WHY ARE YOU SINGLE? I don't underestimate the fact that I'm hard work. I know what I want, and I'm not easily pleased. When you're a loud, outgoing woman, sometimes it can intimidate men - men don't always want that.

WHAT'S YOUR TYPE ON PAPER? I love a set of white Turkey teeth but a good set of Turkey teeth. I would say, personality traits: you have to be family orientated. You have to be tall, you can't be shorter than me, I can't be having to question whether I can wear heels around you and what height of heels I can wear. If you're vertically challenged, it's not for me.

 

NAME: Ciaran Davies

AGE: 21

FROM: Pencoed, South Wales

OCCUPATION: Surveyor

WHAT'S YOUR TYPE ON PAPER? Obviously looks but humour is a big thing for me, I'm a bit of a wind up so I want a girl who can give it back. Loyalty is another one for me: I think that's the most important thing to look for in a relationship.

WHAT IS SOMETHING NOT MANY PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT YOU? When I was in Malia on a boys holiday I pretended to be Liam Reardon from series 7 to get into a club because they wouldn't let us in. It worked and we ended up getting a private booth and free drinks all night.

 

NAME: Joey Essex

AGE: 33

FROM: Chigwell, Essex

OCCUPATION: Reality star

CLAIM TO FAME? The Only Way Is Essex 

FAMOUS EXES: Joey was in a relationship with fellow TOWIE star Sam Faiers from 2011 to 2014 with the pair getting engaged before they split. He has also been spotted locking lips with former Love Island stars Ellie Brown and Maura Higgins. He also dated his Dancing On Ice pro partner Vanessa Bauer.  

 

NAME: Grace Jackson

AGE: 25

FROM: Manchester

OCCUPATION: Model and social media marketing coordinator 

WHY ARE YOU SINGLE? No guys have good communication and it's painful. I like someone who doesn't take themselves and life too seriously. My lifestyle can put guys off a little bit, I like to go out and go abroad a lot. They can't keep up with my lifestyle. It's the life that I want, and it helps with my business. 

 

NAME: Matilda Draper

AGE: 24

FROM: Beckenham

OCCUPATION: Recruitmant Consultant

WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'LL BRING? I want to bring sunshine to the Villa. I’m lighthearted and don’t take myself too seriously. If things get too serious in the Villa I’m going to throw in a little joke or a ‘would you rather’. 

 

NAME: Konnor Ewudzi

AGE: 28

FROM: Cornwall

OCCUPATION: Barber

WHY LOVE ISLAND AND WHY NOW? I am ready to find somebody. I’ve been in a couple of relationships and now feels like the right time as I have learnt from past relationships. I’ll be able to pick out the red flags now. 

 

NAME: Jessy Potts

AGE: 25

FROM: Leicester

OCCUPATION: Brand Partnerships Associate

WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU WILL BRING TO THE VILLA?  I’m fun, I like to get involved, so I’d like to think I will get stuck in as soon as I arrive. I also have a very sarcastic sense of humour, so I’ll make everyone laugh, but I’m a Sagittarius, so I also have a fiery side and I'm not afraid to say what I think or stand my ground. I’m not very good at taking 'no' for an answer.

WHO DO YOU HAVE YOUR EYE ON IN THE VILLA?  I had a brief thing with Joey a few years ago. We’ve been friends for years and I would be open to reconnecting with Joey. We get on really well and we have a lot of mutual friends. I am also friends with Grace in Manchester, so it’s a little bit awkward.

WHAT KIND OF ISLANDER ARE YOU GOING TO BE? I am ready to bring my fashion and looks into the Villa. I’m a really good communicator and always ready to give good advice to help someone.

WHO DO YOU HAVE YOUR EYE ON IN THE VILLA? The three that have really caught my eye are Uma, Grace and Matilda. They each have their own qualities.
