Reality dating show fans amazed by 'the best episode of all time'
TV viewers were left with their jaws on the floor last night as Love Island lived up to its promise of delivering an incredibly juicy season.
The ITV2 show returned for its 12th edition earlier this month, with Maya Jama still hosting and 19 new contestants battling it out for the main prize.
So far, three contestants have been dumped – on day two, day four, and day eight respectively – but that wasn't the end of the drama for Love Island viewers this week.
A new challenge called Look Who's Talking shared what all of this year's islanders had been secretly saying about each other behind their backs.
Despite all the confessions, the big reveal, however, was the secret smooch – or three smooches – between eternal troublemakers Harry and Yasmin in the hideaway.

As they got down to business, Helena – who Harry is coupled up with – was in the main villa none the wiser, until the beans were spilled later that night at the fire pit.
In scenes viewers immediately hailed as some of the best on the show so far, the islanders were each tasked with reading out a quote from one of their contestants before guessing the name behind it.
The moment came after Remell picked up a card and read out the quote from a fellow islander: 'Do you think I should kiss her? Is that what you're saying? Kiss Yas, because I will.'
Harry was immediately exposed as the person behind the quote, which he'd spoken aloud last night after the two had shared a kiss during another challenge – Hideaway.
To make matters worse, when Harry tried to say that he and Yasmin had kissed on two occasions, Yasmin chimed in to reveal they'd actually locked lips three times.
Helena's friend Megan, who has been in the villa since day one, immediately shouted at Harry, saying: 'You owe it to Helena to be f*****g honest, you p***k!'
On X, @OnikaQueentoRap said, 'This is peak television. Whoever hired this cast needs a raise, I actually can't!,' sharing a clip of the incident in a post.
@HayaNxstalgia quoted the post and agreed: 'This has to be one of the best Love Island seasons ever. Pure drama and entertainment every episode.'
@TriniGoddess agreed and called the episode 'the best [Love Island] episode of all time actually,' while @Ban_Dullock said: 'I kind of love Harry and Dejon, obviously they're not the best people but make great TV.' More Trending
More of Harry's flirtatious quotes were then unearthed through the rest of Look Who's Talking, which landed him in more trouble and caused more arguments between the contestants.
On day eight, Malisha was cruelly dumped after new bombshell Harrison chose American contestant Toni over her after dating them both.
Watch Love Island every night at 9PM on ITV2 and ITVX .

Love Island spoilers: The heart rate challenge is back - and Helena leaves the boys reeling with VERY raunchy trick
The iconic heart rate challenge is set to return to Love Island and Helena leaves the boys reeling with a very raunchy trick. In scenes due to air on Monday's episode of the ITV reality show, Shakira receives a text message announcing a new challenge for the villa. She read: 'Islanders, it's time to get each others' pulses racing in tonight's Boys vs Girls challenge. #HeartthrobMode #BootyandBeats'. The girls go first, with Toni leading the way, and attempt to raise the boys' heart rates with saucy performances. Alima's heart-racing entrance stuns the men while Emily dresses like an angel and Shakira throws rose petals. But it's Helena's trick that really sets things off as she whispers something in Harry's ear. He later asks Tommy to pass the cheeky message on and Dejon looks shocked when he hears what Helena said. The boys take their turn to raise pulses too - Tommy's go-to is a whopping bouquet of red roses, while Conor tries his best with a Rugby ball. Harrison dons pleather as he tries to impress the girls while Giorgio dresses like a waiter and pours chocolate on his torso. As for Harry, he wears gold angel wings and chooses to whisper back in Helena's ear. Dejon's trick involves him lying Meg down on the floor. At the end of the challenge, the Islanders are told who raised their heart rates the highest and the results cause shock waves amongst the group. The evening before, Shakira confronts Harry about his kiss with Helena during the game of Snog, Marry, Pie. She asks him, 'Why did you do it?' Harry replies, 'Because I had no reason to kiss anyone else.' But Shakira isn't pleased with his reasoning and fumes, 'You knew that would p**s me off. 'You could've kissed anybody, then to get down on one knee like, I was going to be buzzing after I watched you snog her…' Harry attempts to make amends and says, 'I don't want to hurt you, I haven't tried to hurt you Shakira.' She replies, 'But you have. Everything in me is telling me to burn it.' Later on in the evening, the Islanders are called to recouple and the boys are given the power to choose first. Each share their feelings and reasoning behind their decisions, with some gushing over growing connections. Harry comments on 'choppy waters' and Harrison reveals his coupling choice explaining they 'naturally gravitate towards each other'. Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.

GB News announces expansion into the US
The news channel, launched in 2021, will open a new bureau in Washington DC as it launches its services across the Atlantic. The two-hour programme will begin in September from a studio 'close to the White House' and will 'bring British audiences closer than ever to the political news which unfolds each day in America'. The programme will feature 'headline-making exclusives, thought-provoking interviews with major figures, and in-depth analysis of the Trump presidency as well as stories from across the US', according to GB News. The move includes an extension of GB News' distribution across the US, with content to be made available free to American audiences. Turner said: 'With the gutsiest guests and the most iconic backdrops, I intend to keep viewers up late. Fronting the next stage of GB News's evolution is both a huge honour and an immense responsibility, and I cannot wait to represent the people's channel on a global stage. 'We will be disrupting the late-night TV space as the next day's papers land in the UK and America's prime-time analysis gears up. This affords us the chance to deliver a unique UK-USA hybrid of political, cultural and social issues from the start-line of global politics. 'We will fulfil the need for a British voice with an international perspective to help our viewers get a sense of who's really on their side. 'Tapping into Washington's heartbeat and delivering real-time perspective with editorial edge, the show will be alive, and a conversation that's punchy, intelligent and unmissable. What happens in DC reverberates in GB and we will capture every moment. 'Our highly engaged British audience understands how events in the US are directly impacting government policy and living standards here. 'We have a job to do: bridging the gap between British and American politics in the fearless style that typifies GB News. 'We will include the very best guests that Washington has to offer, alongside quintessentially British voices in an unparalleled assessment of events on both sides of the Atlantic. 'This isn't just a media experiment, this is a market intervention. And I look forward to leading it from the front.' Turner, 51, who began presenting her own show on GB News in 2022, previously hosted a talk show on LBC and has appeared on ITV's This Morning and Good Morning Britain. Michael Booker, GB News editorial director, said: 'This is a huge moment for GB News as we grow our presence and deliver more of the fearless journalism that defines us. 'The world's biggest political story is playing out in Washington, and its impact is being felt daily in towns and cities across Britain. 'More than ever before, what happens in the USA is having huge consequences, both socially and economically, for the people of Britain. 'We've seen time and again this year that a decision made on one day in Washington DC is felt the next day in Washington, Tyne and Wear. 'It's essential the people's channel is right there, reporting live, asking the tough questions, and telling it like it is. 'While others scale back on live free coverage, GB News is investing in our content. 'Our new Washington investment, our expanded programming and our brilliant on-the-ground team will ensure we're not just reporting on the story but that we're right at the heart of it.'
