Love Island: The heart rate challenge is back

Is there anything better than the heart rate challenge in Love Island?

We don’t think so.

Once you get past the cringe dance moves, you get to all the juicy, juicy drama.

While no one can ever beat the moves of Curtis Pritchard, they’ll give it their best shot.

Tonight’s Love Island kicks off with a recoupling and the boys are in control.

From heartfelt confessions to flirty compliments, emotions are high as the boys make their decisions. Some reflect on growing connections, while others admit they’re still open as they test the waters.

Harry acknowledges “choppy waters” while Harrison explains that he and the person he chooses “naturally gravitate towards each other.”

But whose names will they call out and how will the consequences of their decisions affect the Villa?

The next day, Shakira receives a text which excites the Villa.

“Islanders, it’s time to get each others’ pulses racing in tonight’s Boys vs Girls challenge. #HeartthrobMode #BootyandBeats,” the text reads.

Toni goes first and shows the girls how it’s done. Alima’s entrance stuns the boys into silence, followed by Emily, dressed like an angel. Shakira then makes her entrance by throwing rose petals into the air.

Helena goes next and whispers something in Harry’s ear which he later tells Tommy to pass on. Dejon is left open-mouthed when he learns what she said.

Next up are the boys. Conor comes out with a Rugby Ball, while Tommy comes out bearing a large bouquet of red roses.

Harrison goes next wearing pleather, followed by Giorgio who pours melted chocolate on his torso while dressed as a waiter.

Harry returns the favour and whispers in Helena’s ear while donning gold angel wings. Dejon rounds off the challenge by lying Meg down on the floor.

The Islanders gather round the Firepit and await the results of who raised their heart rates the most.

The atmosphere quickly grows frosty after some shock revelations. For some Islanders, the results are far from what they hoped.

We’re sure there’ll be even more twists, especially after the heartbreak on Friday night that saw Irish Islander Megan booted from the villa!
