Love Island airs unseen moment that 'led to secret kiss drama'

Love Island fans were treated to a previously unaired scene during Saturday’s Unseen Bits, which show narrator Iain Stirling believes explains why there has been so much drama surrounding Tom Clare in the villa.  

Contestant Olivia Hawkins, 27,  was left infuriated during Tuesday’s episode after Tom, 23, attempted to weasel his way out of his secret kiss with Ellie Spence.

During Monday night’s episode, former Islander, model and property developer Zara Deniz Lackenby-Brown, 25, seethed as she learned of Tom’s kiss with Ellie Spence, 25, just hours after the pair had decided to end their coupling.

On Tuesday, semi-professional footballer Tom shocked Olivia as he attempted to cover his tracks when it came to kissing Ellie, claiming he kissed her on a different day than Olivia stated.

When Olivia got wind of his antics, she confronted him, asking: ‘Do you have anything you want to tell me?’, before adding: ‘Nothing about the terrace today?’  

Appearing baffled, Tom asked: ‘No, what?’, prompting Olivia to clarify: ‘Yeah, with Ellie.’

Buying time, Tom asked: ‘The terrace today?’, adding: ‘Nothing on the terrace today.’  

Olivia asked: ‘No kiss?’

Attempting to back out of the situation on a technicality, Tom said: ‘Well we had a kiss the other day, not today.’

Unimpressed, Olivia asked: ‘Didn’t fancy telling me that?’ before slamming him for claiming the blonde beauty was ‘just a friend’.

During Love Island’s Saturday episode of Unseen Bits, narrator Iain, 35, revealed what caused the drama between Tom and Ellie, claiming it began to simmer way before they kissed.

Iain said Ellie had sat on the yellow beanbag in the villa earlier in the day, which the show’s stars often joke is ‘cursed’.  

Monday’s episode saw Tanya Manhenga, 22, spilling the beans to Tom’s ex Zara, after Will let slip the big secret earlier.

And despite Tanya begging Zara to keep quiet, the model insisted that her former love rival needed to hear the truth.

This evening saw Tanya and Zara head to the terrace to tell Olivia they needed to ‘urgently’ speak to her.  

Zara told her: ‘I’ve just been told by Tanya that Ellie and Tom kissed’, to which a shocked Olivia asks: ‘Are you joking?’

Tanya then piped up, adding: ‘And guess what? He hasn’t even told the boys.’

Stunned by Tom’s antics, Olivia said: ‘”I want to explore it again my a***”, are you serious?’

She then filled the girls in on her earlier conversions with Tom, before referencing Ellie as she remarked: ‘What and he comes and tells me that he “sees her as a friend”?’

Determined to have it out with the hunk, she swiftly pulled him for a chat, telling him: ‘Do you have anything you want to tell me?’  

Admitting that she was torn between crying and shouting, she told Tom that she thought he was ‘playing a smart game’, and as Tom denied this she countered by saying he was ‘playing with my feelings’.

As Tom insisted he was being ‘straight up’ with Olivia, she shot back: ‘No you haven’t and now it all makes sense to me.’  

It came after Zara was left seething during Monday’s episode after learning Tom had kissed Ellie just hours after he split from Zara.

Zara and Tom were previously coupled-up but they decided to end their romance during Sunday night’s episode.

Tom left Zara fuming after he said fellow Islander Olivia had the ‘best face’ while Zara had the ‘best body’ during a game of truth and dare, prompting Zara to burst into tears during Sunday’s episode.  

And on Monday, Zara was left raging after Tanya told her Tom and Ellie had already shared a secret kiss in the villa.

Tanya told Zara: ‘Ellie confided in Will. He said, ‘Ellie kissed Tom on the f**king terrace.’ And no one knows.’

A shocked Zara asked: ‘When?!’ She continued: ‘When I say he’s a busy boy, yeah…’  

Unable to contain herself, Tanya giggled: ‘What a little player! It gets worse. After that kiss, Tom came down and said to Shaq, ‘Oh yeah…’ He was like, ‘Come on, bro. What happened?’

‘And he was like, ‘Oh nothing. She is flirty though.’ He didn’t even tell the boys. That’s why I’m thinking Tom is sneaky. He’s not just a nice guy anymore.

‘He’s dangling Ellie. Ellie’s into Tom. And we all thought he was so… I’m going to make myself calm. You need it as well, so just wait with me.’  

Zara asked: ‘So Ellie told Will?’

To which Tanya replied: ‘Ellie told Will, yeah. So I was like, ‘You need to tell Ellie to tell Olivia.”

Zara hit back: ‘Yeah, that needs to come from her. If not, I’m going to tell Liv. I’m going to tell Ellie that I know.’  

Clearly feeling awkward, Tanya said: ‘Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, not yet. Wait to Will comes back.’

Zara responded: ‘How can I sit on this bad boy piece of information?’

A desperate Tanya said: ‘No, but I told you I wasn’t going to keep it in.’

However, a defiant Zara protested: ‘I’m telling Liv, I’m telling Liv. This girl needs to know. Girl power, man!’

Love Island continues on Sunday on ITV2 and ITVX at 9pm.
