They have a date in the Hideaway

Author: Georgie HollandPublished 17th Jul 2019

Love Island viewers were left heartbroken for Amber Gill when Michael Griffiths ditched her for new girl Joanna Chimonides in Casa Amor. But now, things may be looking up for the Geordie beautician as new boy Greg O'Shea picked her for a date in the Hideaway.

Amber takes a liking to the new boy, as Michael is left mourning the departure of Joanna, who was booted off the show earlier this week. However, after she's gone, it sounds as though his head has been turned BACK to Amber.

But Greg isn't the only new Islander set to cause a stir, as the three newbies (including Harley Brash and India Reynolds) head back to the villa to choose three more dates.

ANTON WILL BE MISSING FROM TONIGHT'S EPISODE

Anton spent the night away from the villa After feeling unwell throughout the day. He will therefore be missing from tonight's episode.
But don't worry - he has since returned to the villa!

GREG WANTS TO SPOIL AMBER

New boy Greg has just chosen Amber to join him on the Hideaway terrace for a date. Speaking on why he chose her, Greg says, "I just thought you deserved a date after all the drama that's been happening. You deserve to be spoilt a bit."
Amber responds, "It's been hard. But I've come out the other end and I feel happier." The pair then continue to get to know one another, with the odd flirt here and there. Greg reveals he likes a confident girl, and after Amber says, "I've never dated a rugby player before," Greg responds, "There is a first time for everything."

AMBER TAKES A SHINE TO GREG

Amber and Greg return to the villa, where she fills some of her fellow Islanders in on her date. Amber says, "His accent is fabulous. And he can take the banter."
Before heading to bed, the Geordie lass then adds, "I'm telling you now, I haven't liked one boy that has come in. That boy has got the luck of the Irish!" Fingered crossed for this one!

IS THERE COMPETITION BETWEEN CHRIS AND OVIE?

Chris and Ovie have a debrief with the other boys about their dates with the new girls. Chris has taken a liking to India, however he may have some competition as Ovie confesses he has eyes for her as well.
Speaking to the girls at the fire pit, India reveals to the girls, "Ovie is gorgeous. Ovie would normally be my type." Uh-oh...

GREG DISCUSSES AMBER WITH THE BOYS

Returning from his date, Greg meets the Islanders, and the boys are keen to know what he thinks of Amber. Speaking of her, Greg says, "She's gorgeous. I didn't realise how good looking she was."
Could there me romance in the air for these two? Or will Michael swoop back in?...

GREG, HARLEY AND INDIA CHOOSE THREE MORE ISLANDERS FOR DATES

The next day, India receives a text reading, "Greg, Harley and India. Welcome to your first morning in the villa. You must now pick one person each to date this morning. Please pick the person you want to date and head out into the garden. #theearlybirdcatchestheworm"

Greg chooses Maura, Harley chooses Michael and India chooses Ovie.

Reflecting on Greg's choice in the Beach Hut, Maura says, "It's kind of good in a way because Curtis might get a bit jealous! I'm glad none of the girls are taking Curtis on a date."






OVIE IS GLAD TO BE PICKED

The six Islanders head outside for their breakfast dates, and Ovie wants to know why India decided to choose him for some one-on-one time.
India then tells him, "Obviously, you're very good looking. Body of a god! You've got the height and you're funny." He then responds, "I'm glad you picked me. You came to save the day!"
Who will India pursue a romantic connection with? Chris or Ovie?

COULD MICHAEL BE HARLEY'S HERO?

Over at Michael and Harley's table, Harley admits, "You're the type of person I can see myself getting on really well with. And obviously, you're not bad looking," to which the firefighter responds, "It's nice to be asked on a date by a very pretty girl. It doesn't happen every day."
The pair then discuss Michael's job, leading Harley to asking, "Have you got a uniform?"
Meanwhile, Maura reveals that although she doesn't want it to, she can't guarantee her head won't be turned from Curtis.

IS MICHAEL HAVING SECOND THOUGHTS ABOUT AMBER?

It looks like Michael could be having a change of heart, as he discusses his current situation with Ovie by the pool. After letting on that he may still have feelings for Amber, Ovie says to Michael, "Don't let your pride hurt you. Don't fight yourself."
Later that evening, Michael speaks to the boys around the fire pit, and says, "Now that Joanna has gone, it has given me time to think about things. I'm not saying I don't like Joanna, because I do. But I feel like because Joanna was there I actively avoided Amber." Jordan then responds, "I think if you did go back there, things would be so different."
Belle gives her opinion on the matter, telling Michael, "I don't know if she'll Joanna wait for you. I don't know if she'll be interested now, because you didn't leave with her."
Is Michael having second thoughts about Amber?
