Love Island: Everything You Need To Know About The Five Love Languages
We saw a shock dumping, talent show and the infamous baby challenge, before the islanders were faced with a task testing how well they knew their partner. Amid questions about favourite TV programs and 'body counts', the islanders were asked to guess their partner's love language.
While some islanders breezed through the challenge, Dejonfumbled in this challenge, saying 'quality time' when Meg revealed what makes her tick is actually 'acts of service.' After looking less than impressed on the sofa, Dejon even went on to say 'I'm starting to question if she's been lying to me' - and the saga culminated with them having an argument by the fire pit. Cach also missed the mark, suggesting Toni's love language was quality time when it was also acts of service. Oops!
Naturally, the challenge got lots of people talking on social media. One X user wrote 'Mustard is fuming he got that love language question wrong #LoveIsland.' Another penned 'Dejon still talking about the love language question... He's def angry they won't be seen as perfect and like they know everything about each other. The game player mask is finally dropping for the less attentive. #LoveIslandUK.'
This isn't the first time love languages have been mentioned on Love Island before. And in dating world, they are basically part of our modern lexicon. If you've ever swiped on Hinge, you're bound to have come across the prompt 'my love language is...'
But if you're still wondering - what on earth are love languages? And why are they causing so much drama? Then we've broken it down...
The love languages are actually a pretty old idea. They first entered the public consciousness in 1992, when Baptist pastor Gary Chapman penned the book The Five Love Languages: How to Express Heartfelt Commitment to Your Mate.' Essentially, they are the different ways people give and receive love.
There are five love languages: Words of Affirmation (all about expressing affection though words, encouragement, or written praise), Quality Time (paying full attention to your partner, whether through shared activities, hobbies, or just hanging out together), Physical Touch (intimacy like hugging, kissing and sex), Acts of Service (thoughtful gestures to help make your loved one's life easier), and Receiving Gifts (meaningful presents and surprises that show your affection.)
The popularity of each love language varies across the demographics Tinder's annual 'Year in Swipe' report for 2023 found that quality time came out on top, followed by physical touch and acts of service.

Molly-Mae Hague 'can't understand what she's done wrong' amid 'fall from grace'
EXCLUSIVE: Molly Mae has had a tough few weeks after being trolled for being 'out of touch' and now a PR expert has claimed that the Love Island star could be losing her 'golden girl' status Molly-Mae Hague broke down in tears last week after being slammed, yet again, for being 'out of touch' by fans. Now, a pr expert tells OK! that they believe the golden girl's popularity is on the wane and her star power could 'all be over'. The 26-year-old, one of Love Island 's biggest success stories with an estimated net worth of £6m, had claimed on of her vlogs that she's done 'nothing fun this summer, despite taking several lavish holidays posted on social media. Most recently, she headed off on a family trip in her £86K motorhome, after which she confessed she felt 'overwhelmed' and had a 'breakdown', when her daughter Bambi, 2, who she shares with partner Tommy Fury, was overtired and screaming for hours. While some sympathised with the challenges of travelling with a little one, others were quick to criticise Molly-Mae for complaining, pointing out her affluent lifestyle and frequent luxury vacations, labelling the influencer and entrepreneur 'tone deaf'. Our mole claims that such posts really upset the mum-of-one, and the negativity can bring her down. 'She does get upset that she's constantly in the firing line from the public, but she also doesn't understand why because she doesn't feel like she's done anything wrong. She works hard and is proud of what she's achieved.' The mum-of-one hit headlines recently when she complained in a YouTube video that she hadn't done anything fun over the summer months. 'I said to a friend the other day, that I'm going to make it to the end of summer having not done one fun thing,' she said to camera. 'I haven't a life. That's not good is it. Summer will end and I've not done one fun social thing.' Some fans, however, were quick to point out several of Molly's outings this year; including trips to Dubai, a holiday to Disneyland, a city break to Budapest, their recent motorhome holiday to the Isle Of Man and attendance at high profile events such as Wimbledon, before which she spent thousands of pounds at Christian Dior to wear to the tennis tournament. Hitting back at the trolling she has received in a recent video, Molly claimed that she 'doesn't' care' about the backlash, but said it does make her 'nervous' to talk openly with fans. 'I don't care who tells me I am out of touch with reality or all this stuff that's going on on TikTok at the minute, I don't care I'm not going to not talk about it. 'I feel like I don't want to talk about anything controversial anymore because in the last video I said some things I probably could have worded better and even with all the motherhood things I'm talking about at the minute, it's just a lot.' Never one to shy away from her struggles, Molly has admitted to having a tough time with Bambi in recent months. She said in one YouTube video, 'I'm having one of those toddler mum days, where I question, 'am I actually cut out for this?' 'Every single thing I try and ask her to do, she will not listen to me... She hasn't eaten in like three days because she is refusing to eat. I'm finding it really hard.' Adding that Tommy seems to take parenting more in his stride, Molly admitted that it's 'tough'. Speaking of the recent backlash, PR expert Lynn Carratt believes Molly Mae is definitely at risk losing her 'golden girl' status. She tells new: 'Some of the things that she's saying are coming across as out of touch with reality. "Molly was the sweet, girl next door on love island, and she had a true love story with Tommy which people really bought into and was very likeable. Men fancied her, girls wanted to be her. She came across as an inspiration. Now, she's flying all over the world on private jets and sadly, it's just not relatable anymore." Lynn continues: "In the last year or so, it seems like s he's been falling from grace - her days at the top of the showbiz pile could be over." "She shouldn't have to hide her lifestyle or money because she's earned it, but at the same time, we're in a cost of living crisis. People don't always want to see influencers flying across the world in private jets." 'It is really hard for Molly being a working mum, as it is for all working parents. And it is good that she's being open about her struggles. But she needs to really think about a PR strategy to bring fans back on side." Molly rose to prominence on Love Island in 2019, where she met Tommy Fury, also 26, and came second place with the boxer, whose brother is boxing star Tyson. After the show, she signed a major deal with e-retailer PrettyLittleThing, eventually becoming their creative director while working with brands like Beauty Works and creating her own fake tan business, Filter By Molly Mae. She then parted ways with PrettyLittleThing to build her own fashion brand, Maebe, launched last year. Now, she has a hit Amazon Prime docuseries currently filming for season two and resides in a multi-million pound home in Cheshire with her and Tommy's two-year-old daughter Bambi. The couple, who got engaged in July 2023, announced their shock split last summer, before getting back together earlier this year.
