Casa Amor has begun and one couple is already feeling the pressure!
The annual Love Island challenge sees the islanders split into two camps with the girls heading to Casa Amor to meet six new boys, and the boys staying in the original villa as six new girls move in (although this year it is five, as their former villa-mate Molly Marsh has re-entered the competition.)
And even though its only early days, one girl has already turned her head.
As Dubliner Catherine Agbaje has been getting to know Casa bombshell Elom Ahlijah-Wilson.
The pair instantly connected, going for a chat at the start of Casa, discussing Catherine’s relationship with Shelbourne goalkeeper Scott van-der-Sluis.
The real estate agent and Scott had been coupled up in the main villa, but Catherine told Elom they have left things open.
“I feel like we’re at a good place, we get along. We both said we’re not fully closed off. I don’t know what connection I’ll find in here and I don’t know what connection he’ll find,” she explained to the new bombshell.
In the preview for tonight’s episode, Catherine and Elom where spotted sharing a kiss.
Elon is a 22-year-old masseuse and fitness trainer.
Haling from London, he entered the villa to “ruffle a few feathers and to see if I can find a strong connection. I’m excited to meet new people and see where it takes me.”
Although before entering the villa, Elom actually had his sights set on some other islanders.
“All the girls are all beautiful. I want to see their energy levels. If I speak to them and like their vibe, I’d want to couple up with them. Whitney has good energy, so does Leah and Ella. I’m just going to go there and try to talk with all of the girls,” he said.
Love Island airs tonight at 9PM on Virgin Media Two and Virgin Media Player, proudly sponsored by Virgin Mobile
