Love Island 2023: All you need to know
Lana finally makes her mind up, Will gets a Wynter thrill and a brand new bombshell revs up the Heart Rate Challenge… all you need to know about Love Island episode 23
Life moves fast in the Love Island villa. One minute you’re swept off in a whirlwind of blissful romance with fast-talking Ron Hall, the next you’re caught in the floppy haired charms of Casey O’Gorman.
Those with a leaning for indecision might struggle with such a conundrum, but Lana Jenkins appears to be coping just fine as she transiently flits between the two men in her life.
Indeed, the indifferent blonde has been plucking heartstrings with the same virtuosity Ed Sheeran applies to his acoustic guitar, and hapless Casey appears to be playing second fiddle as she succumbs to Ron’s relentless graft.
Elsewhere, wacky Will Young’s increasingly offbeat behaviour hasn’t stopped him moving far beyond first base with Aussie islander Jessie Wynter, while the Heart Rate challenge came to a thumping end with the arrival of a brand new bombshell.
But what else went down in the Cape Town compound? Pull out a sunlounger and enjoy the view – MailOnline has the answers.
Here we go again: It was another action packed night in the Love Island villa on Tuesday
Make your mind up, Lana!
Love Island fans slammed Lana Jenkins for her ’embarrassing’ decision on Tuesday night after she ended things with Casey O’Gorman.
The make-up artist, 25, chose to couple up with Casey after being fed up with Ron Hall’s head being turned by more recent arrivals to the villa.
But she then had a change of heart in Monday’s episode, as she admitted to her fellow islanders that as she slept in bed with Casey she ‘wanted to be in bed with Ron’.
Honest: Love Island fans slammed Lana Jenkins for her ’embarrassing’ decision on Tuesday night after she ended things with Casey O’Gorman
Now Lana has finally been honest with the 26-year-old, pulling Casey for a chat and ‘mugging’ him off.
As they caught up in the garden, Lana said: ‘I do still feel like my heart’s somewhere else.’
Lana goes onto say: ‘I need to maybe have my time with Ron, I recoupled with you for a reason, I think you’re amazing, I think you’re really handsome and you’re such a great guy.’
Clarifying, Casey asks: ‘Is it still that you’re unsure of your decision and you still want to….’
However, Lana replies that she ‘is sure’ but makes an ‘excellent wingwoman’.
Viewers were left less than impressed with Lana’s decision, labelling the move as ’embarrassing’.
Taking to Twitter, one viewer predicted that Lana will realise her mistake when Ron heads off to Casa Amor, or with the next bombshell.
One fan said: ‘Lana that’s so embarrassing for you bc the second Ron is let loose in casa you’re back to square one again’.
Another labelled her a ‘fool’, saying: ‘Watch Lana cry when Ron’s heart rate goes through the roof later when the new girl walks in. Absolute fool.’

Also voicing their disappointment, another viewer said: ‘I was team ‘Lana deserves better’ but she can piss off now it’s now team ‘Casey deserves better’ cause she’s mugging him off to get what she wants from Ron’.
Love Island fans were all team Casey there on.
One said: ‘Sorry Casey! You didn’t deserve to be a pun in Lana’s plan. What’s mad is that Casey came correct!’
‘Feel bad but I almost want Ron’s head to turn when this new girl comes in. Maybe Lana will learn then’, another said.
‘Have some semblance of self respect!’
Love Island viewers slammed Lana Jenkins for kissing Ron Hall just minutes after dumping Casey O’Gorman on Tuesday’s episode.
After shocking the villa and recoupling with Casey, the blonde beauty made a U-turn when she admitted that her heart is still with Ron.
And after telling Ron how she felt, the pair sealed the deal with a steamy smooch in full view of the other islanders, causing viewers to brand her ‘heartless’ and ‘distrustful’.
Taking to Twitter fans were quick to air their views, with several not happy with the way Lana went about things.

‘Lana plss I beg u have some semblance of self respect, it’s literally been a day since you ‘binned’ Ron off’ fumed one viewer.
With a second adding: ‘Bless casey, the disrespect from both lana and ron towards him is so disgusting.’
A third fumed: ‘Lana is absolutely vile. Imagine having the capability to actually treat someone (Casey) like that … heartless b***h #loveisland and none of the islanders are calling her out on her disgusting behaviour!’
Over before it even began: Lana dumped Casey in the garden, before going on to reconcile with Ron shortly after
‘Lana isn’t fooling anyone by saying Casey was a test. You didn’t like him’ ranted a fourth watcher.
‘I cant believe Ron and Lana kissed in front of Casey like that’ ranted a shocked fifth person.
With another adding: ‘TO KISS RIGHT BEHIND HIM. Naaah the disrespect, I wouldn’t have it.’
Where there’s a Will, there’s a weirdness!
Love Island viewers were left cringing during Tuesday night’s episode as Will Young stripped off and donned some leather bondage gear during a visit to the hideaway with Jessie Wynter.
The farmer was seen wearing a black leather harness and a pair of tiny matching shorts tassels hanging down from the waist.
Will later put on a pair of nipple tassels and wore a pair of comfortable Ugg boots on his feet.
The television personality was seen energetically dancing for personal trainer Jessie as she laughed and cheered him on.

One unimpressed viewer wrote: ‘Will is just so unsexy I’m cringing #loveisland.’
Suggesting Will was not overly interested in Jessie, another viewer posted: ‘Will… is more interested in putting on his own show.’

‘Will crawling on the floor for Jesse is everything #LoveIsland,’ shared someone else.
While another amused viewer posted: ‘Will wearing the bondage outfit SENDS ME. #loveisland.’

Will… the undercover gunman!
Secrets started spilling on Tuesday night’s episode of Love Island, as Jessie admitted to having sex with Will in the hideaway.
Will and Jessie have been moving from strength to strength since the Australian bombshell arrived in the villa.
And in the latest turn of events, the pair seem to have gotten even closer.
Pulling Tanya for a secret chat the morning after she spent the night with Will in the hideaway, Jessie asked how intimate Tanya and Shaq were when they had their night together.

Tanya then responds that she’d only told the girls they’d ‘done bits’ but they had actually done ‘everything’.
To which Jessie responded, ‘So did we!’
Viewers were stunned by the candid admission, admitting how ‘happy’ they were for the pair.
One fan questioned: ‘Why am I so happy for Tanya and Jessie getting laid as if they’re my mates’
Another said: ‘I love Tanya and Jessie being open with each other and talking about it’.
Meanwhile, other viewers were surprised the producers decided to air the intimate conversation.
One viewer penned: ‘Stunned the producers have decided to air this conversation between Tanya and Jessie they love implying everything’
Others found humour in the fact the girls hadn’t told the other islanders, but had technically told the whole world on TV.
‘Just Jessie, Tanya and the whole of the UK xoxo’, another one said.
Another viewer added: ‘Yeh Tanya, your little secret between you and Jessie and the rest of the UK’.
‘I don’t like it’: Love Island viewers were left less that impressed with Olivia during Tuesday’s episode as she pulled Samie for a chat after things heated up between the pair
Is she REALLY the oldest girl?
Love Island viewers were left less that impressed with Olivia during Tuesday’s episode as she pulled Samie for a chat after things heated up between the pair.
Olivia pulled Samie by the fire pit and told her she doesn’t appreciate her ‘stirring the pot’ between her and Tanyel after she told her what she said behind her back.
Fans believed the ring girl is acting ‘childish’ after cutting Samie off trying to air her feelings.
Olivia said: ‘From the other day I made a comment in the dressing room and you told her. I don’t like it, you’re getting in my business and you took it and stirred the pot.
‘Mine and Tanyel’s relationship hasn’t been the same since. It should have come from me and not you.’

Viewers were quick to take to Twitter to call Olivia out as she contradicted herself.
One wrote: ‘Olivia telling Samie not to talk about her behind her back…about her talking about Tanyel behind her back’
Another said: ‘I can’t stand olivia and the way she’s talking to samie’.
A third penned: ‘I find it so hard to believe that Olivia is the oldest girl bc Samie was acting so mature. Olivia is so childish I can’t stand her’.
‘Olivia saying Samie is the reason her and tanyels r’ship is ruined but she’s the one that said the comment?,’ said a fourth.
‘Olivia can talk about Tanyel behind her back but Samie cant go and tell Tanyel what was said,’ added another.
