Newly single Amber Gill and Jordan Hames will each take an Islander on a date on Friday’s (05.07.19) episode of ‘Love Island’.
Following this week’s explosive recoupling on the ITV2 series, the 21-year-old beauty therapist has been left without a partner alongside 24-year-old model Jordan, but the pair will get the opportunity to leave the villa and choose to take a person of their choice on a date.
As the Islanders relax in the garden, Jordan receives a text, which says he can choose someone to take out, and he asks Anna Vakili – who he was previously coupled up with – if she would like to go on a date with him.
Shortly after, Amber receives the same text and in the Beach Hut, she reflects about who she would like to take, after Michael Griffiths dumped her for new girl Joanna Chimonides in this week’s savage re-coupling on Tuesday (02.07.19).
She says: "I would actually like to take Michael on a date but there is a point where you to have say ‘don’t mug yourself off’ and I’m not going to do that. The only person in the villa that I like is Michael."
Despite questioning whether she should take Michael, Amber decides to choose Ovie for a friend-date, which proves awkward for Jordan who will be hoping to crack on with Anna at the next table.
Amber later reveals to Ovie that she asked him on a date because he’s supported her since they arrived back at the Villa from Casa Amor.
Over at Anna and Jordan’s table, Jordan wastes no time in wooing Anna.
He says: "I feel like since you’ve come back from Casa Amor, I’ve been happier. It’s nice to have you back."
Speaking about her decision to recouple and leave Jordan single, Anna says: "I feel like the way you’ve handled everything has been so good and attractive."
Jordan says: "I just wanted to prove that you can trust me and that I do like you. Maybe I didn’t say it enough before you went to Casa Amor."
Meanwhile, Amber asks Ovie: "Is there anyone in the villa that you have your eye on?"
Ovie replies: "If I had to pick, it would be Joanna."
However later in the evening, Michael is keen to have a chat with Amber and clear the air.
Amber says: "I don’t think you had any idea how much I liked you."
Michael responds: "For me, it was hard to see. I felt like I was constantly chasing you. I could not read you. I was constantly questioning it. I didn’t ever want to hurt you. I’m deeply sorry. I do want you to know that I’m still here for you."
Amber replies: "It’s alright. It’s just annoying though. I just thought everything would be ok. I do feel like it’s partly my fault. It’s upsetting because I know I don’t open up to people and I don’t show people how much I like them."
Michael adds: "I know that you have a heart of gold. You’ve just got a strange way of showing it sometimes." Amber and Michael laugh together.
Amber jokes: "Watching you with lovely Joanna who is not catty and lets you talk about your issues but she doesn’t make you laugh as much as me though!"
