Tonight, after a steamy session on the garden beds, viewers were left questioning whether they knew each other before the show. Angel tickled Ty's tummy before she asked if he had ticklish feet. He joked that if she kept going on about feet they'd end up in his mouth. He caressed her bum before pulling her in for a kiss. One person wrote on X: "Did Ty and Angel know each other before the show??...what's all that?" Another said: "Do Ty and Angel already know each other??" A third posted: "Ty and Angel waste no time they are cosier than the other couples already." A fourth asked: "Is it just me or do Angel and Ty act like they already know each other?" Others even joked they should leave together now, given their obvious chemistry. Love Island in fresh fakery row as it's revealed two stars DATED before show - but haven't mentioned it on camera During a girl debrief on the terrace, Helena told Angel: "You two have just connected, you look really comfortable." While there's nothing to suggest a prior connection between them, Ty did secretly hit it off with dumped Islander Lauren before they entered in Casa Amor.

Ty Isherwood and Lauren Wood both hooked up in Love Island's unfilmed rehearsal week in May. Yet they have pretended never to have met before after entering the main villa following the Casa Amor stage They were then invited back by show bosses to join the series proper as part of Casa Amor where they coupled up with other Islanders. Now back in the main villa, they have acted like strangers.A source said: 'Ty and Lauren are acting like they've only just met but that's far from the case. 'They hooked up during the dry run, which is where a fake cast moves into the villa to test out everything from camera angles, to kitchen appliances and run-through challenges. 'And then they even saw each other on the outside before ITV invited them back to be part of Casa Amor. 'Now they're both in the main villa pretending like none of this ever happened but it's all entirely fake and ITV know about it.'Viewers deserve to know it's all a huge sham.' An ITV spokesperson declined to comment.

Karen Pirie fans praise 'refreshing' second series but all have same complaint
ITV's Karen Pirie recently returned to our screens for its second series, and fans were quick to praised the 'refreshing' series Karen Pirie returned to ITV for its second series, three years after the first debuted on our screens to great reviews. The crime series is based on the Inspector Karen Pirie novels by Val McDermid, and stars Lauren Lyle as the lead - who was recently promoted to detective inspector in the new series. Getting straight into it, the police officer finds herself in immediate drama as she gets to work cracking a cold case involving an unsolved case from over three decades before. The mysterious case saw the kidnapping of heiress Catriona Grant (played by Julia Brown) and her young son. A man's body is soon found with links to the original kidnapping, leaving Karen scrambling to find out the truth. Fans were obsessed with the return of the series and rushed to social media to praise the 'refreshing' change in cop shows as they complimented how 'normal' the main character is. One user said on X/ Twitter: "Great to have #KarenPirie back. Refreshing to have a normal screen detective, fun and clever but not traumatised and grumpy." Another impressed viewer added: "I love #KarenPirie she's so normal… no cop on the edge or cop that can't play by the rules.. just a normal cop solving crime! Thank you!" One said: "35 minutes in and I'm hooked. This is brilliant #KarenPirie," and another fan added: "Karen Pirie is so well produced and edited." However, a few had the same complaints as they hit out at ITV for adding too many ad breaks in the episode. One annoyed user said: "These ad breaks through Karen pirie is absolutely ridiculous @ITV #KarenPirie." "I'd enjoy #KarenPirie even more if there wasn't an advert every 5 mins ! Getting as bad as American TV," another irritated viewer commented. Karen Pirie stars the likes of Chris Jenks as DC Jason Murray, Zach Wyatt as DS Phil Parhatka, Steve John Shepherd as DI Simon Lees and Emer Kenny as River Wilde. Lauren, who plays Karen, spoke about the return of the series and explained: "I'm thrilled that we will continue the life of our fearless young detective Karen Pirie, and of course, her bumbag. 'I've known for a while how well the show has gone down behind the scenes so it's been a joy to see audiences want more. It's a creative honour to work alongside Emer Kenny with the backbone of Val McDermid's story. "Season 1 was incredibly exciting building an original character we hadn't seen before. I look forward to getting the gang back together and finally being able to answer the question: 'Please say there will be a season 2?' with an 'Oh yes.'"

The Narrow Road to the Deep North on BBC One review: give this show all the awards
Present-day Dorrigo is a venerated Australian surgeon who harbours a deep resentment of the Japanese and overlooks his long-suffering wife Ella (Olivia DeJonge, played later by Heather Mitchell) in favour of sleeping with his colleagues' wives. He spends much of the series attempting to reckon with the destruction the war wrought on his psyche – as well as the destruction he's wreaking on the people around him in turn. 'I waited for you,' Ella tells him in one of the show's most crushingly poignant moments. She did; she's still paying for it.
