After a recoupling that's drastically altered the landscape, Love Island UK S13 has had its first dumping. Given the choice of Ellie, Angelista and Robyn, bombshells Simba and Tommy left the real estate videographer single. Ellie promptly left the villa, but she's not the only one feeling dejected.
You can watch Love Island UK 2026 online from anywhere with a VPN and potentially for free.
Episode 12: Friday, June 12 at 9pm BST |
US stream: Hulu |
Love Island UK has struck first in this summer's all-encompassing battle for your eyeballs. Whether you're going all-in on World Cup 2026 or the villa, one way or another you're in for lingering slo-mo shots, toe-curling fumbles and perhaps even the odd stray tackle.
Ope reacted less than enthusiastically to being chosen by Victoria, which didn't go unnoticed by the PA. He was then powerless to stop Simba from coupling up with Angelista. Ope, remember, was coupled up with Angelista when he was caught trying it on with Victoria. He's since focused all of his energies on trying to patching things up with Angelista, only for his chickens to come home to roost.
He then reacted angrily to the sight of Angelista locking lips with Simba on the terrace, but now appears to have accepted that she's moved on.
The "It's Not That Deep" challenge, meanwhile, has done a lovely job exposing the cracks in several relationships, with Jasmine & Aidan on especially shaky ground right now. The zeal with which Priya and Samraj tore into each other suggests there are still some unresolved feelings there.
