Dates: Thursday night sees new Love Island bombshell Charlie Radnedge making his mark on the villa as he embarks on steamy dates with two of the Islanders
The episode sees Charlie receive a text which reads: ‘Charlie, it’s time for you to pick two girls for some one on one time in the Hideaway terrace hot tub #doublebubble #getbusywiththefizzy’.
Charlie chooses Ekin-Su and Tasha and up first is Ekin-Su. The pair get into the hot tub and share some strawberries and a glass of bubbly.
Charlie says to Ekin-Su: ‘Relationship wise – once I’m in a relationship, I’m fully committed. I’m a bit of an all or nothing person. Does that surprise you?’
An impressed Ekin-Su says: ‘A bit. It takes a confident guy to admit that. I’ve not had anyone who has said that to me yet.’
Eyes on Tash: The 28-year-old real estate developer made his debut on the ITV2 show during Wednesday’s episode and in new scenes he chooses Tasha Ghouri for a hot tub date
Ekin-Su says: ‘When I look at you, I feel like you look quite deep into someone’s eyes – it’s quite meaningful.’
It’s soon time for Tasha’s date with Charlie. And Charlie is keen to find out if Tasha is closed off because of her coupling with Andrew.
Charlie asks: ‘Are you opposed to getting to know me?’ Tasha says: ‘I’m open to having conversations – I’m coming in here open-minded.’
Charlie says: ‘I think for me I want to go on a date with someone that I have a genuine interest in other than going on a date with someone for the sake of it.’
I got a text! The episode sees Charlie receive a text which reads: ‘Charlie, it’s time for you to pick two girls for some one on one time in the Hideaway terrace hot tub #doublebubble’
Complimenting Tasha, Charlie says: ‘Naturally, I’m attracted to you physically – you’re very pretty. Personality-wise, you seem like you’re a lot of fun. I was intrigued by you.’
Before going into the villa, Charlie already boasted that he thinks he is more ‘mature’ than some of the other islanders and he’s already got his eye on Tasha, Ekin-Su and Paige Thorne.
‘I’m very much on the personality side of things and whether you vibe with someone. Ekin-Su is more towards my classic type.
Getting steamy: Charlie chooses Ekin-Su and Tasha and up first is Ekin-Su. The pair get into the hot tub and share some strawberries and a glass of bubbly
‘Paige seems like a very, very nice girl. Tasha seems like good fun as well. I find her quite intriguing – I want to find out more about her.’
Charlie reckons he will stand out from the other men in the villa, adding: ‘I am quite a different personality to the guys in there.
‘I’d say I’m quite forward and straight talking. I’m also quite a relaxed person as well. I think I’ll bring good vibes to the Villa.’
‘I don’t require someone else to make me feel happy. If I do get into a relationship I want it to be something that adds to both of our lives, rather than it being something my happiness is dependent on.
‘I’m attracted to you’: It’s soon time for Tasha’s date with Charlie. And Charlie is keen to find out if Tasha is closed off because of her coupling with Andrew
Coupled up: Tasha is currently in a couple with Andrew, but Charlie tells her: ‘Naturally, I’m attracted to you physically – you’re very pretty’
‘I’m probably at the age where the next serious relationship, that’ll be it I reckon, so I want to be sure.’
He added: ‘I am probably slightly more mature than some other people in the Villa. I’ve got some things figured out. I think I’m ready to settle down, basically.’
Charlie has been single for the last three years but now feels ready to find love after years on the London dating scene.
Asked why he is single, he said: ‘Part of it is that I’m very happy on my own. I enjoy doing stuff on my own and having my own space.
Love Island continues tomorrow night at 9pm on ITV2 and ITV Hub.
