Love Island’s Anton Danyluk will attempt to woo single Anna Vakili in tonight’s (12.06.19) episode, only for his advances to backfire.
The 24-year-old gym owner sets his sights on the 28-year-old pharmacist – who has been left single after Sherif Lanre departed the ITV2 dating show this week for breaking villa rules – after giving up on pursuing Molly-Mae Hague, who is with Tommy Fury.
Anton tells Anna: "Obviously Molly has come in and she is very much my type. You know that.
"I don’t want you to feel like you’re vulnerable in here. As long as I’m in here, I’ve got your back.
"As much as Molly is my type, she’s beautiful from the outside-in, you’re beautiful on the inside and out.
"You’re not necessarily my absolute type on paper but Molly, who is someone who is my type, I still wouldn’t want to be with someone like that.
"I’m not saying that we’ll ever turn into something romantic but I just want to pick up where we left off before the recoupling."
Speaking in the Beach Hut, Anna later says: "I don’t know whether to take that as a compliment or not.
"If Anton liked me, he wouldn’t have been hitting on Molly. So, he doesn’t like me. I don’t know what he was trying to say. It was confusing me."
Later in the day, Amber Gill and Michael Griffiths ask a genuinely perplexed Anton why he mentioned Molly-Mae while trying to pursue Anna.
Amber asks: "Why did you go over and say, ‘Molly-Mae is my type, that is what I want appearance wise but personality-wise you [Anna]?’ "
Michael says "It’s a bad way to put it across to her."
Anton replies: "I didn’t mean it like that. I thought the chat went well."
Reflecting on the conversation later in the Beach Hut, he says: "I’m starting to realise this is why I can’t get a girl in this villa."
‘Love Island’ continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2.
