Love Island spoilers: Toni and Harrison come to blows as his kiss with Helena seriously backfires - and bombshell twist leaves the villa reeling
Wednesday's episode of Love Island sees Toni and Harrison come to blows as his kiss with Helena seriously backfires - and a twist leaves the villa reeling. The ITV2 dating show, presented by Maya Jama, has already seen plenty of arguments and antics in the villa in Mallorca since its launch last month. And the upcoming episode will be no different, as Toni and Harrison fight it out over his secret kiss with Helena on the Terrace in Tuesday's episode. During a conversation in the garden, he confesses to his partner: 'I was just talking with Helena, we had a little chat and we had one kiss…' Toni is not happy about this at all and makes his very clear to him - leaving Harrison thinking through how he handled things. He is keen to clear the air - and with Toni's birthday the next day, Harrison spots the perfect opportunity. He cooks eggs sunny side up for her breakfast, and lays them out alongside a handwritten note and some red roses. Harrison also enlists the lads to line up to sing happy birthday to her as she leaves the villa and comes outside - and he thinks he has cleared his name. But it seems all this effort might be coming too late. As Toni sits down to tuck into the food, she uses her fork to take the roses off their stems, not so easily won over. She soon debriefs with Shakira at the firepit, with her mind made up about how she wants to handle everything that has gone down. 'Point one - a man who's for everyone is not a man for me. Point two - I did not come all the way here to cry. 'Point three - if you can't make a decision, I'm going to make it for you.' Toni soon invites Harrison to the Terrace to tell him her decision: 'This is done. You've made your bed. Lie in it.' It seems he soon regrets his behaviour, as he confides in Conor about how he is really feeling: 'I'm sad, that actually hit me harder than I thought, you know...' Harrison also enlists the lads (pictured) to line up to sing happy birthday to her as she leaves the villa and comes outside - and he thinks he has got himself in the clear Toni soon debriefs with Shakira at the firepit (pictured), with her mind made up about how she wants to handle everything that has gone down Conor - fresh off the back of Megan being dumped from the Island just as he was getting to know her - tells him: 'It's probably just a classic case of you don't know what you have until it's gone…' Meanwhile, Shakira is still upset with Harry, who has also been flirting with Helena this week. During the heart rate challenge on Monday's episode, which sees the boys and girls try to get each other's pulses racing with saucy performances, Helena made a very X-rated comment to former flame Harry: 'I want to f*** you.' As they later spoke, Harry complimented her on her sexy outfit in the challenge as they discussed their physical attraction. Shakira had been left fuming at Harry after finding out about Helena's outrageous comment. Fans were then outraged when even after all this, Helena and Harry began to flirt the second Shakira was chosen to leave the villa for a date with new bombshell boy Ryan on Tuesday's episode. Helena then just hours later kissed her other love interest Harrison as she dismissed her and Harry's connection as just 'sexual chemistry'. After giving Shakira some much-needed space following all this drama, Harry takes her to the terrace the next day to try to make amends. He tells her: 'I just want to make you happy and add to your life and I don't feel like I'm doing that now.' A conflicted Shakira replies: 'I feel like you keep ruining a good thing.' As Harry asks where her head is at, Shakira responds honestly: 'There's two options and I'm in a pickle.' Despite his flirtations with Helena, Harry lays his cards on the table, telling her he is committed to her: 'I'll be right here. I'm for you, I think you know that…' It remains to be seen what Shakira will decide. Later that evening, Tommy receives a text which reads: 'Can all Islanders gather at the Firepit immediately.' The latest bombshell girl and boy, Billykiss and Ryan, have just hit the villa and are keen to get their flirt on and make some waves. They are told to stand in front of the Firepit - and soon, there is a twist that absolutely no one seems coming. It comes after fans were shocked at Helena's behaviour in Tuesday night's episode (pictured) It comes after fans were shocked at Helena's behaviour in Tuesday night's episode. They wrote on X: 'Helena kissing Harrison after just saying all that to Harry??'; 'When you actually think about it, Helena moves the way we expected Yasmin to when she first came in the villa.'; 'Helena is the LEAST girls' girl I think we've actually ever seen. The degradation of the women she is around is so actually spiteful.'; 'Harry and Helena are just two horny people!'; 'Harry is so embarrassing. Why are you begging every little thing that happens to you? You have SHAKIRA in your bed every night and you're entertaining Fiat 500 final boss?' Her risque comment to Harry during the heart rate challenge came just hours after she told Harrison he was the only one she was interested in the villa - which caused clashes with his partner Toni. Viewers on X were gobsmacked by her remark: 'What did Helena say to Harry?!?!'; 'I CANT WAIT TO WHAT? THAT MAN DON'T LIKE YOU HELENA.'; 'Does Helena know being this desperate isn't attractive?'; 'Helena is so stupid whispering such rubbish to a man that still didn't pick you.'; 'Helena knew Shakira won that contest hence she said what she said to Harry. Pathetic.'; 'Can't believe Helena said that.'; 'Hey Helena hey so why did you say that to Harry?' Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.

The 42-year-old recreated the iconic music video for the track alongside friend Jessie Roberts. In the clip, Bec and Jessie danced provocatively in skin-tight Lycra dresses in tones of neon pink, orange and purple.

Her famous friends lost their minds over the video with several quick to offer their support in the comments. 'Stop!!!! So so excited for this! And sorry this is just the best announcement ever,' wrote Bec's friend Nadia Bartel in the comments. 'Exciting!' agreed Olivia Molly Rogers, while Erin Holland chimed in, 'Omg stoppit right now'.
