Love Island's Josh says he friend-zoned Danica because she gave him 'the ick'

Love Island's Coco Lodge said she's "not surprised" that Summer Botwe and Josh Le Grove are now just friends, after a short romance, and accused Josh of "lapping up the attention". Islanders Summer and Josh, both 22, had been 'seeing' each other since leaving the villa but after the reunion episode, which aired this week, Summer confirmed: "I would like to clarify that me and [Josh] are only friends and haven't decided to pursue things romantically at this time." Some Love Island fans were disappointed to hear that the summer of love was over for the pair but Coco, 27, told the Mirror she wasn't surprised by the news.

Danica Taylor won the hearts of the nation with her dance moves and struggles to find The One on Love Island. But in her first in-depth interview since leaving the villa, she couldn't be happier with footballer Jamie Allen.

Danica Taylor revealed she had her doubts over Tasha Ghouri and Andrew Le Page's relationship during their turbulent time in the Love Island villa, and questioned whether their connection was "genuine".The couple had a roller-coaster ride on the show, especially when Tasha showed willingness to explore other options early on and both she and Andrew recoupled with other Islanders after Casa Amor. And speaking exclusively to OK! 21-year-old dancer Danica gave us her verdict. "Andrew fell in love with her and Tasha did Love Island as she should," she explained.

The Love Island reunion set descended into chaos during filming last night as two Islanders got into a row, a guest at the event has said.

Love Island bombshell Coco Lodge has spoken out about her disappointment with her promotional photos for the show as she hit back at producers for making her look like “something out of a horror film.” The 27 year old graphic designer, opened up about her experience in the Majorcan villa on Closer’s Love Island secrets as she explained how the Islanders were required to pose for a series of snaps that would promote their appearance on the ITV dating show. Yet rather than being happy with the image used to promote her debut, Coco described her own photo as “horrendous” and even went so far as to claim that she had been “done dirty” by show bosses as they chose one that she felt wasn’t flattering.

With things heating up in the Love Island villa between the couples, it's no surprise producers have measures in place to provide sexual safety for the Islanders. Former bombshell Charlie Radnedge, who departed the series earlier this month, took to TikTok to reveal Islanders get given personalised condoms.

Love Island's Summer Botwe and Josh Le Grove appear to have confirmed their romance after being spotted holding hands on a night out.  The former islanders had a connection in the Love Island villa after their previous couplings with Danica Taylor and Dami Hope came to an end. However, viewers weren't able to see a potential coupling between Summer and Josh, as Josh was eliminated from the villa after receiving the fewest votes from the public. Not long after Josh's exit, Summer was also eliminated after the guys chose to save Danica over her.

Former Love Island contestant Billy Brown has said it would be 'game over' for Luca Bish if he had the same amount of time with Gemma Owen on the show. Billy spilled all in an interview with Capital FM on Tuesday morning (July 26), just a week after he and Danica Taylor were dumped from the island.

Former Love Islander Billy Brown, 23, appeared on last night's Love Island: Aftersun alongside Summer Botwe, 22, and Josh Samuel Le Grove, 22, for a debrief with TV host Laura Whitmore following his dramatic exit from the villa last week. Billy first appeared in Casa Amor and was brought back to the main villa by Tasha Ghouri, 23, with whom he had detected an initial vibe.
