Reality dating show fans amazed by 'the best episode of all time'

TV viewers were left with their jaws on the floor last night as Love Island lived up to its promise of delivering an incredibly juicy season. The ITV2 show returned for its 12th edition earlier this month, with Maya Jama still hosting and 19 new contestants battling it out for the main prize. So far, three contestants have been dumped – on day two, day four, and day eight respectively – but that wasn't the end of the drama for Love Island viewers this week. A new challenge called Look Who's Talking shared what all of this year's islanders had been secretly saying about each other behind their backs. Despite all the confessions, the big reveal, however, was the secret smooch – or three smooches – between eternal troublemakers Harry and Yasmin in the hideaway. Wake up to find news on your TV shows in your inbox every morning with Metro's TV Newsletter.

As they got down to business, Helena – who Harry is coupled up with – was in the main villa none the wiser, until the beans were spilled later that night at the fire pit. In scenes viewers immediately hailed as some of the best on the show so far, the islanders were each tasked with reading out a quote from one of their contestants before guessing the name behind it. The moment came after Remell picked up a card and read out the quote from a fellow islander: 'Do you think I should kiss her? Is that what you're saying? Kiss Yas, because I will.' Harry was immediately exposed as the person behind the quote, which he'd spoken aloud last night after the two had shared a kiss during another challenge – Hideaway. To make matters worse, when Harry tried to say that he and Yasmin had kissed on two occasions, Yasmin chimed in to reveal they'd actually locked lips three times. Helena's friend Megan, who has been in the villa since day one, immediately shouted at Harry, saying: 'You owe it to Helena to be f*****g honest, you p***k!' On X, @OnikaQueentoRap said, 'This is peak television. Whoever hired this cast needs a raise, I actually can't!,' sharing a clip of the incident in a post. @HayaNxstalgia quoted the post and agreed: 'This has to be one of the best Love Island seasons ever. Pure drama and entertainment every episode.' @TriniGoddess agreed and called the episode 'the best [Love Island] episode of all time actually,' while @Ban_Dullock said: 'I kind of love Harry and Dejon, obviously they're not the best people but make great TV.' More Trending More of Harry's flirtatious quotes were then unearthed through the rest of Look Who's Talking, which landed him in more trouble and caused more arguments between the contestants. On day eight, Malisha was cruelly dumped after new bombshell Harrison chose American contestant Toni over her after dating them both. Watch Love Island every night at 9PM on ITV2 and ITVX .

Gordon Barr on the Bard in the Botanics festival in Glasgow: 'we're very vulnerable to the weather'

When Gordon Barr stepped up earlier this month to accept the Best Production of the Year Award at this year's Critic's Awards for Theatre in Scotland, few people in the world of Scottish theatre were surprised. As artistic director of Bard In The Botanics - the company that presents a powerful season of Shakespeare and other classics in Glasgow's Botanic Gardens every summer - Barr may be running a shoestring operation, compared with many of his colleagues. Yet the combination of brilliant classic texts, two magical midsummer settings outdoors in the gardens and in the Kibble Palace, and the gradual development, over more than 20 years, of an acting company whose skills have been honed by contact with some of the greatest dramatic poetry ever written, never fails to produce some breathtaking moments. And Barr's short but overwhelmingly intense 2024 version of Ibsen's Hedda Gabler, staged in the Kibble Palace and starring Nicole Cooper, overtook some spectacular competition to win the CATS premier award for the 2024-25 season. Gordon Barr | Contributed 'We don't really receive any direct public funding,' says Barr, in a break from rehearsals, 'although we depend on massive in-kind support from Glasgow City Council, who give us a very generous deal for the use of the Botanics, and for some storage space there. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'But apart from that - well there are some donations and so on, but 80 per cent of our income is from the box office, and that of course makes us very vulnerable to he vagaries of the Glasgow weather. Last year wasn't a great summer, and that meant we had to think in terms of a good, popular programme for this year, to try and boost our ticket income again.' The result is a four-show programme that features outdoor productions - directed by Barr himself - of two of the most popular Shakespeare plays in the canon, A Midsummer Night's Dream and Romeo And Juliet; alongside Kibble Palace versions, by Barr's associate director Jennifer Dick, of Christopher Marlowe's Faustus, and her own play Sherlock Holmes: A Scandal In Bohemia, adapted from three of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's most famous Holmes stories. 'All of these plays involve titles that audiences will recognise,' says Barr, 'and that they'll enjoy seeing in new versions. For me, though,' adds Barr, who is famous for his radical gender-shifting approach to Shakespeare's texts, 'this season marks a really interesting return to the first two plays I ever directed in the Botanics, when I arrived in 2004. For Romeo And Juliet, in the second half of the season, I'm looking at quite a modern dress approach. Sam Stopford is playing Romeo, with Lola Aluko as Juliet, and I'm hoping to foreground the young people in the story, and explore how they feel they have been failed by the older generation, and left to live with the broken society they have created. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Rehearsals for A Midsummer Night's Dream at Bard in the Botnics | Contributed 'And for A Midsummer Night's Dream - well I think I'm taking a relatively conventional approach this year. At any rate, all four of the lovers will be as written by Shakespeare, in terms of gender; and I'm focusing very much on the play's relationship with nature. Titania's fairies will be real magical creatures, spirits of the natural world. 'One thing I have changed, though,' says Barr, 'is the relationship between Oberon and Titania, the fairy king and queen. What happens in the original - with Oberon doing Titania wrong, and then using his magic to trick and mock her into accepting it - just seemed too patriarchal, to me. 'So in this version, it will be Oberon who is put under a spell, and who falls in love with an ass. With Allan Steele playing Bottom, that should be fun. And that will be out on our glorious garden stage, of course; where there's no avoiding the sheer power of the natural world, for better or worse, and whether it smiles on us or not."
