Love is in the air? It appears sparks will continue to fly between Dami and Indiyah as the pair shared a deep chat in scenes set to air on Tuesday night
Dami asked the hotel waitress, 23: ‘You’ve never been in love?’
Indiyah replied: ‘I feel I’ve had loads of love for someone but I don’t think I was “in love”.’
In a move that may be Dami’s way of hoping to win Indiyah’s heart, he asked for her to elaborate.
‘What would it take for you to be in love,’ the senior microbiologist, 26, then questioned.
Indiyah answered: ‘A lot of contributing factors.
Deep chats: The two have recently expressed interest in one another romantically and things will get more serious as they discuss love
‘I feel like if I’m with somebody and there is that slight feeling my head could be turned or I could have eyes for somebody else then that goes to show that I’m not in love.’
It comes as tensions reached breaking point on Monday’s episode of Love Island as six islanders found themselves on the chopping block, with one boy and one girl set to be dumped from the villa.
In a nail-biting cliff-hanger, the islanders received a text and were told to gather around the firepit where they learned the public had been voting for their favourite boy and favourite girl.
The boys with the fewest votes were Ikenna Ekwonna, Jay Younger and Andrew Le Page while the girls with the fewest votes were Tasha Ghouri, Amber Beckford and Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu.
Friends: Monday’s episode saw Indiyah and Ikenna have another chat where they agreed they were better off just being friends going forward
After the names were announced, Paige Thorne received a text that said: ‘Only one boy and one girl will be going home tonight. That decision is in the hands of the public.’
Danica Taylor and Dami both received text messages saying: ‘The boy/girl with the fewest votes and therefore dumped from the island is…’ before the show ended with viewers forced to wait until Tuesday to find out who has been dumped.
Elsewhere during the show, Indiyah finally had a heart to heart with Ikenna, with the pair admitting they have little romantic connection despite being coupled up for two weeks.
Later, Dami decided to pull Indiyah for a chat, giving the flirty pair a chance to admit their feelings for one another once and for all.
As Indiyah continued to grapple with her feelings for Ikenna she was keen to gain clarity, asking him: ‘I wanted to catch up with you and just have an open and honest conversation about how you actually think we are?’
She added: ‘Obviously I know we’ve been in here for like two weeks and we’ve been getting to know each other but an observation from me, I feel like I should know more about you and we should connect more.’
Ikenna asked: ‘So you feel like there’s something missing?’ to which Indiyah said: ‘Yeah, but I don’t know if you feel the same way?’
Ikenna told Indiyah he’d noticed her feelings towards his pal Dami, pointing out: ‘Do you know what I’ve noticed as well that you and Dami get on.’
Dami, who has been coupled up with Amber for two weeks, later pulled Indiyah for a chat and asked her outright: ‘Do you feel like we have a connection?’
Indiyah said: ‘We get along,’ prompting him to reply: ‘Yeah but do you feel like we’ve ever had a spark?’
She said: ‘I feel like we’ve not been able to explore that and obviously I feel like we do get along but we’ve never actually looked at each other in that light.’
Dami asked Indiyah: ‘Would you like to explore it?’
Up for the chop: The boys with the fewest votes were Ikenna Ekwonna, Jay Younger and Andrew Le Page
Indiyah said: ‘I think you know and everybody else knows that if there was somebody else that I would get to know, it would’ve been you but we just never went down that path.’
A clearly keen Dami told her: ‘I am actually open to exploring you because I feel like I don’t want to just coast in here and I feel like with you it’s just easy for me.’
Speaking in the Beach Hut, Indiyah admitted her feelings for Dami are already stronger than they ever have been for Ikenna, saying: ‘That energy I have with Dami, I don’t have with Ikenna.’
Love Island returns on Tuesday night at 9pm on ITV2 and ITV Hub.
