The Love Island girls were thrown into a frenzy on Friday night as tensions flared while they watched the boys meet the series’ three latest bombshells.
After Blu Chegini became the second islander to be dumped from the Majorca villa, the newly-coupled-up boys and single man Shea Mannings were afforded a boys’ night away.
But after the six lads started discussing their new romances, they were interrupted by three new girls – teaching assistant Malisha, 24, commercial banking executive Yasmin, 24, and insurance development executive Emily, 24.
In another major shock, the girls back in the villa were watching exactly what the boys were getting up to on a secret camera for the first time in Love Island history.
Unaware the girls were watching on, the bombshells didn’t shy away from flirting with the boys, and Yasmin even had some choice words about some of the existing couples – prompting a fuming reaction back in the villa.

Emily, 24, Malisha, 24, and Yasmin, 24, (pictured L-R) were the three new brunette beauties aiming to find love in the villa
Making her opinions clear, Yasmin insisted it was ‘bulls***’ that American Islander Toni would consider a move to the UK, before saying Ben ‘crawled back’ to Shakira and criticising Tommy for being ‘too comfortable’ with Meg.
And the girls were unimpressed with her brazen remarks as Shakira shockingly branded her a ‘t***’ while Meg also referred to one of the bombshells as a ‘b***h’ as tensions flared before they even met the newbies.
Making their bombshell arrival, ‘serial flirter’ Emily sat herself down next to Conor, while Malisha was next to Dejon and Yasmin sat by Tommy as they wasted no time getting to know the boys.
‘Tell us what your situation is in the villa at the moment,’ Yasmin said.
With the lads blissfully ignorant of the fact they are being watched, they didn’t hold back with their answers, leaving the ladies back in the villa in shock.
As the conversation moved on to Conor, he answered: ‘I’m talking to Toni, she’s American, I know that’s a bit of a thing but she said she’d be happy to come (to Ireland).’
Holding nothing back, Yasmin responded: ‘Bull****,’ much to the dismay of the girls back in the villa.
Things went from bad to worse for Toni as Conor later admitted that Emily is exactly his type.

Viewers were left shocked after Shakira branded new bombshell Yasmin a ‘t***’
The conversation then moved on to Ben, who explained that after a couple of days away from Shakira, they had coupled up once again – with Yasmin cheekily quipping: ‘Oh so you went crawling back to her did you?’
Moments later, Yasmin turned her attention to Tommy, who is currently coupled up with Irish girl Meg.
‘I’m not singling you out when I say this, but do you think you’re too comfortable with Meg at the moment?’ the 24-year-old asked.
The question prompted an angry response from Shakira watching on poolside, who cried: ‘You know what, I was all for being nice to the bombshells but she seems like a bit of a t***!’
The bombshells’ flirty exchange with the lads also saw Dejon and Tommy – who seemed happily coupled up – to admit the new girls have ‘made things interesting’ before the three bombshells picked a boy each to have a ‘private chat’ with.
Yasmin chose Harry, who has ruffled feathers since entering the villa on day one, with Emily taking Irishman Conor and Malisha choosing Dejon as the episode reached its climax.
Before series 12 began on Monday, ITV producers promised the most dramatic series yet.
After Sophie Lee became the first islander to be dumped from the villa, new lads Remell and Shea became this series’ first male bombshells.

Newbie Shea Mannings and Blu Chegini were left single and a shock text revealed that they would have to pick which of them would go home in a show first
Remell, who quickly found a spark with Scottish girl Alima, raised eyebrows moments after his arrival as he shockingly admitted to bedding five girls in one night.
It came before Blu Chegini became the first boy to be dumped after brutally being voted off by his castmates.
He and Shea had been left single after the latest recoupling, with a shock text revealing they would have to pick which of them would go home in a show first.
With the pair left fuming, Blu was quick to state, ‘I ain’t f***ing leaving’, with Shea also making it clear he wasn’t willing to leave, before they forced their co-stars to make the call.
However after giving the vote up to their fellow islanders, Blu ultimately received the fewest votes and left the villa.
Love Island next airs on Sunday June 16 at 9pm on ITVX and ITV2.

But they never guess correctly so it works really well if you don’t want to give a guy your number. I’m originally from Guinea Bissau. If they’re close and I really fancy them, I’ll give them my number anyway.

OCCUPATION: Professional rugby player
