They made their relationship official, shortly before Jake Cornish was whisked away to Casa Amor.
And now Liberty Poole starts to doubt her boyfriend’s loyalty after she learns of a new kissing challenge, completely unaware that Jake, 24, has joined Teddy Soares in sleeping on daybeds rather than with the six bombshell newcomers.
In a sneak peek of Monday’s episode, the Birmingham native, 21, remains at The Villa with the ladies and six handsome new men, as they are sent a text announcing a racy new competition between the two camps.
Love Island SPOILER: Liberty Poole doubts boyfriend Jake Cornish’s loyalty due to kissing challenge, completely unaware that he’s joined Teddy Soares in sleeping on daybeds rather than with bombshells
The message reads: ‘Islanders. This afternoon, The Villa will take on Casa Amor in Raunchy Race.
‘The two villas will race against each other to compete for a series of saucy challenges. The first villa to complete each challenge wins a point.
‘The villa that receives the most points will win a party tonight. #makemadmoves #kissthefacetowintherace.’
The Villa and Casa Amor then receive texts at the same time with a challenge they need to complete. The villa that completes the task in the fastest time wins a point.

Race: In a sneak peek of Monday’s episode, the Love Islander, 21, remains at The Villa with the ladies and six handsome new men, as they are sent a text announcing a racy new competition
As they begin the competition, the first text says: ‘The boy whose name comes first alphabetically must snog every girl.’
But when the shortest boy is instructed to kiss the girl he fancies most, Liberty’s mind soon turns to Jake over at Casa Amor.
Similarly, the shortest girl is then asked to snog the tallest boy for 15 seconds which also leaves Jake guessing.
Speaking in the Beach Hut, Jake remarks: ‘It is what it is. It’s a bit of fun. It’s a challenge. I just hope it didn’t mean anything.’

Trouble in paradise? But when the shortest boy is instructed to kiss the girl he fancies most, Liberty’s mind soon turns to Jake over at Casa Amor
Despite being dazzled by the beauty of the Casa Amor girls, Jake decides to sleep outside with Teddy, 29, and avoids sharing a bed with the bombshells. However the rest of the boys make arrangements to sleep inside.
Back at The Villa, the girls discuss the night’s sleeping arrangements. Millie Court, who is coupled up with Liam Reardon, says: ‘I definitely do not want to sleep next to a boy.’
Abigail Rawlings – who caused a stir by building a connection with Toby Aromolaran behind Chloe Burrows’ back – adds: ‘It’s a bit too soon isn’t it?’
Referring to her romantic interest, Tyler Cruickshank, Kaz Kamwi says: ‘I feel like I just got into bed with a boy I really like.’

Meanwhile, Tyler, 26, and Casa Amor’s Amy Day decide they’ll share a bed as the pair ask Mary Bedford and Toby, 22, what their plans are.
Toby responds: ‘We can have a chat in bed with no distractions.’
Also on Monday’s episode, Chloe, 25, sets her sights on new boy Dale Mehmet.
Speaking with the girls on the terrace, the Bicester native says: ‘Dale, potential to fancy. If I had to pick one to snog now, it would be him.’
Chloe later pulls Dale, 24, for a chat on the sun deck. Speaking in the Beach Hut, she reveals: ‘I’ve got a crush on Dale. When he was skipping, I thought “that is fit!” He’s a good height because I don’t fancy tall boys.’

Meanwhile Hugo Hammond and Casa Amor’s Amy, 25, get to know each other.
Speaking with the brunette beauty, Hugo, 24, says: ‘I want to know more about what you do for fun.’
Amy responds: ‘Me and the girls go out for dinner a lot. I like playing sports and going to the gym. I love tennis, I love squash.’

Speaking in the Beach Hut, the cheerful teacher says: ‘Amy’s energy is spot on. She brings a lot to the table. I definitely feel like we vibe off each other. She wasn’t in my bed last night so who knows? Maybe tonight could be the night.’
