*Warning - Contains spoilers for Love Island 2024.*
It's been the talk of the villa for the last two weeks: are Ciaran Davies and Nicole closed off or are they open? Well, in last night's episode (16th June), it appeared they were in fact closed off, but that romantic bliss hasn't lasted long.
In a first look at tonight's episode (17th June), Nicole and Ciaran have a disagreement when he reveals a comment he made about bombshell Grace Jackson during a game of beer pong.
Speaking to Nicole, Ciaran admits: "You know after you kissed, well I may have made a comment in passing… Omar asked me, if you were going to choose who would it have been instead of me kissing Jess… I said Grace."
When asked why he would say something like that, Ciaran responds: "I didn't mean it, it was out of pettiness because I don't fancy Grace."
