Love Island’s Kai Fagan is set to turn his head towards Olivia Hawkins in Thursday night’s show, just hours after he recoupled with bombshell Samie Elishi.
After his romance with Tanyel Reven went pear-shaped thanks to his interest in Samie, the P.E teacher chose to be with Samie the previously night, much to Ron Hall’s annoyance.
However, Ron’s words that Samie looked ‘disappointed’ by his choice may have got to Kai as he swiftly moved on to Olivia the next morning, telling her he wants to ‘get to know you more’.
In the morning, he and Ron discuss recent events, with Kai then revealing his shock U-turn as he expressed his interest in Olivia – who was recently left fuming over Tom Clare’s kiss with Ellie Spence.
He told his pal: ‘No time like the present’ before beckoning Olivia over.
Moving on: Love Island’s Kai Fagan is set to turn his head towards Olivia Hawkins in Thursday night’s show, just hours after he recoupled with bombshell Samie Elishi
Sitting down with the brunette beauty on the beanbags, Kai gets his flirty plan into action, telling her: ‘For the past week I have been thinking I do want to get to know you more.’
While the feeling appeared to be mutual, with Olivia replying: ‘Yeah me too.’
As the two begin to bond, Olivia tells him: ‘Not to blow your head up but you are more my type. But I think that’s obvious because I picked you on the first day.’
With cheeky Kai then adding: ‘“You’ll have to graft me a little bit though won’t you?’
Laughing, the ring girl responds: ‘Oh, shut up.’
Is this the start of a brand new romance? And where does this leave their respective couples?
It comes after Love Island fans were quick to spot Ron’s furious reaction after Kai coupled up with bombshell Samie in Wednesday’s episode.
In a gripping recoupling, viewers were left wondering whether Ron would get a chance to pair up with the glamorous newcomer, having admitted to Lana Jenkins that he was keen to get to know her.

However, as Kai got to pick a girl first, he quickly chose to recouple with Samie, and many fans immediately clocked Ron’s unimpressed expression as he muttered the word ‘F**k.’
Many viewers took to social media to share their reactions to Kai’s decision, with Ron eventually choosing to couple up with Tanyel, describing her as his ‘best friend’ in the villa.
Meanwhile on Thursday’s show, new bombshells Casey and Jordan continue their dates and as Lana and Tanyel return back to the Villa after chatting with the hunks, it’s time for some of the other girls to get to know the new guys.

With Casey agreeing: ‘Yeah, 100% I completely agree, I feel exactly the same way.’
