Meanwhile, the girls filled the newbies in on their relationship statuses, with Jessie Wynter staying faithful to Will and Olivia saying that it would take "something special" to turn her head. Meanwhile, Tanya Manhenga revealed that she hasn't completely committed herself to Shaq Muhammad after the two argued over dirty dish gate – much to the delight of new boy Martin Akinola.
In fact, the senior software engineer from Dublin set his sights on Tanya in last night's episode, telling her that he'll be her first proper test on the show.
Meanwhile, Lana had a chat with energy consultant Kain Reed – who said before entering the villa that "no couples are safe" – before finance student Maxwell Samuda asked Olivia to share a bed with him that night, to which she said yes.
And it wasn't just the girls who had fun in last night's episode. Back in the main villa, the boys finally welcomed their Casa Amor castmates, with Shaq and Casey O'Gorman taking the new girls on a tour of the villa. As for who the new girls were interested in, Casey seemed to be a popular pick amongst them and despite being coupled up with Claudia Fogarty, the 26-year-old admitted that he wouldn't be "holding back" when getting to know the girls.

Meanwhile, Tom Clare got to know a completely different Sammy in the villa, with the 27-year-old beauty buyer telling him that he needs a "real woman" who'll keep him on his toes. Even Will was led astray in last night's episode, with the farmer chatting to 28-year-old Layla, who branded his relationship with Jessie as "fake". Could Will begin to have doubts about Jessie?
