Love Island UK Episode 17 Recap 6/18/26
On Day 11 alone, Tommy kissed Ellie and Namibia – plus he asked to kiss Priya. He told Ellie that he didn’t try to kiss Namibia on the terrace, only to admit the truth to Sean shortly after. Namibia also spilled the tea to Mica and Angelista. Sean and Mica, acting as the angels on their shoulders, told them both to come clean to Ellie. Namibia beat Tommy to the punch, though, catching Tommy in a lie. Tommy interrupted the girls’ chat and tried to apologize, but Ellie stormed off and had to blow off some steam with the girls.
Namibia confronted Tommy to start Day 12, making it very clear just how annoyed she was by the whole situation. Meanwhile, Lorenzo took Yasmin up to the terrace. Aidan was sitting directly below them, complaining to Samraj about his place in the love triangle, when Yasmin kissed Lorenzo and then went back for seconds.
That’s when Ellie got a text that the islanders had to take part in a kissing competition, where the girls would go down the line of eight blindfolded boys and have their kisses rated 1 through 10 – the girl with the highest score wins. Priya went first, followed by Lola, Angelista, Mica, Namibia, Yasmin, Jasmine and Ellie. Priya came in last with 49, while Mica won at 59.5. The biggest drama came from Yasmin’s kiss with Aidan, since she thought he was being purposely spiteful by saying her kiss wasn’t anything unbelievable and rating it a 6.
Once the islanders got dressed up for the night, Yasmin told Aidan about her kiss with Lorenzo that morning. She also said that she didn’t have feelings for Lorenzo, but Aidan still wanted to break things off. He proceeded to pull Lorenzo for a chat and tell him that Yasmin said she didn’t have feelings towards him. Lorenzo then pulled Yasmin for a chat and told her what Aidan told him, only for Yasmin to lie and claim all she said was that her feelings were stronger towards Aidan.
