What happened on Love Island last night? Rebbeca Gormley causes a stir and Sophie cracks on with Connor

It's all (finally) beginning to kick off in the villa
1/95

We're over a week into the first ever series of Winter Love Island, and the introduction of a new bombshell has really stepped things up a notch in the villa.

Rebecca Gormley caused pulses to race and heads to turn during her introduction to the villa on Monday evening, and she's continued to set tongues wagging since.

Not only did her dates with Callum Jones and Connor Durman cause plenty of drama for Shaughna Phillips to later deal with, but Sophie Piper may also come to regret lying to Connagh's face.

And are things already on the rocks for Love Island's favourite couple? And will Nas ever find the girl of his dreams in South Africa?

For those who didn't manage to tune in, here's a recap of the main action...

What happened on Love Island last night?​

  • Connor and Callum are whisked off for a date with bombshell Rebecca in the Hideaway - and she admitted she was ready to 'step on toes' to bag a man in the villa
  • While Con and Bex seem to get on well during their date, sparks really did start to fly during her date with Callum
  • But Shaughna is left seething by the date between her beau and Rebecca, and is worried about what the introduction of the bombshell means between her and Callum
  • Shaughna later pulls Callum aside and quizzes him on how their date went - and he doesn't exactly tell the truth about how well the date went 
  • Callum ask risks angering the legions of Shaughna stans after lying to her face bout calling Rebecca "hot" on Monday night - despite the fact she overheard him saying it
