Things got flirty between Tanyel Revan and the bombshell Tom Clare during Tuesday’s episode of Love Island after he spent his first day at the villa taking every girl for a chat.
The semi-professional footballer, 23, entered the villa like a bombshell during Monday’s cliffhanger, when he was able to lock lips with three girls of his choice.
As the girls and Tom walked to the fire pit, the boys watched and Ron said, ‘That’s a bit of a shock, isn’t it?’

Kai added: “We’re vulnerable now lads, we’re vulnerable, he’s a good looking lad.”
Meanwhile, over by the fire pit, Tom asked, “How are you guys in your pairs?” to which Tanya replied, ‘Everybody’s still getting to know each other.’
Tom nods in agreement as Tanya then asks, ‘How tall are you?’ to which he replies, ‘6’5, but I like being the little spoon…’
Meanwhile, Olivia Hawkins also showed her interest in Tom as she gushed: “Oh my god Tom’s height is lovely. Who doesn’t like a six foot tall man?’

Things heated up around the fire pit as the islanders played a competitive game, with Tom being urged to lock lips with the women he liked most.
The footballer singled out Tanyel, Lana Jenkins and Olivia to kiss with them and drew the girls up for a chat the next day.
Another islander was challenged to smooch who he would most like to share a bed with besides his partner, prompting some jealousy.
Meanwhile, one of the boys dared to smooch the islander, who he thought was the best kisser, later adding in the beach shack: “It was a good kiss, she’s a good kisser.”
Olivia also showed her interest in Tom as she gushed: “Oh my god the size of Tom is lovely. Who doesn’t like a six foot tall man?’

The next morning, the islanders were invited to the series’ first challenge, where they aired their dirty laundry.
It was boys versus girls and saw each of them slide into a pool of foam where hidden props gave them clues while a giant pair of pants revealed a secret.
Once the revelation was uncovered, they were able to smooch the islander they thought was related and if they guessed right, they would win a point for their team.
And after the challenge, it was time for Tom to finally decide which of the girls he wanted to date.
The islanders received a text urging them to gather around the fire pit while they awaited his decision – which would leave other single boys and therefore vulnerable to a dump.
Challenge: In the first challenge of this series during Tuesday’s episode, the islanders revealed their juicy confessions… when a boy even confesses to a steamy foursome!

Ahead of Love Island’s winter series, Tanyel underwent a “£4,500 makeover” that included fillers, permanent makeup and “full facial makeover”.
Before entering the mansion, Tanyel said she was into Channing Tatum. She said: “I don’t like pretty boys, they give me the ‘Eick’ because they always have a cr*p personality.
“Channing Tatum is handsome but not too pretty. He is male and he can dance. If a man can dance, I fall in love with him instantly.”
She added, “I can fall in love with someone so quickly and think I’m in love, but I can fall out of love with them easily. If someone keeps me on my toes, it’s the hunt I like.”
Love Island continues on Tuesday at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
