Watch the moment SECOND Love Island couple sneak off for a steamy night in the Hideaway hours before tense recoupling
IN tonight's instalment of Love Island, a second couple headed to the Hideaway for a steamy night together. One stunning girl and one hunky boy were seen kissing in the villa before sneaking off for a steamy night in the Hideaway hours before a very tense recoupling. 4 4 4 Emily Moran, 24, a new bombshell, and Conor Phillips, 25, were seen smooching on the terrace. The smitten couple were seen kissing and cuddling before they made a quick decision. Making a joint decision to get a little more privacy, the pair decided they'd head to the Hideaway for the night. Emily Moran is one of bombshells who entered the villa on day five alongside Yasmin Pettet and Malisha Jordan. Meanwhile, Conor is an OG boy and is 25 years of age from Ireland. From Limerick in Ireland, Conor plays for Ireland's Rugby 7s. As the pair entered the hideaway, Conor exclaimed: "This will do." The pair were then seen passionately snogging in bed. Viewers at home were quick to react to the steamy scenes, with many taking to X. "Feels so weird watching people kiss without seeing what else happens in the day, swear Conor and emily only just met and haven't even spoke," said one person. Why Love Island USA Is the Reality TV Upgrade We Needed: Drama, Fun, and a Fresh New Vibe A second then said: "as much as I love Toni, I fear Connor and Emily are really cute together." While a third fumed: "I don't like the hideaway being open all the time." And a fourth said: "Emily is pretty, but I genuinely don't get why they have to go to the hideaway after 3 days." This comes after we revealed last week that air hostess Helena, 29, and semi-pro footballer Harry, 30, spent the night together after mere days in the villa.

After just three days in the villa, and shacked up with different people at the time, Helena and Harry decided to spend the night with one another in the cosy nook. Helena told Harry that they would go to bed as normal before sneaking out and away from the people they were in couples with. They did just this, with Helena tapping Harry on his foot before they made a quick exit and got cosy together in the hideaway. Before the scenes aired last week, a source told The Sun: 'This is the fastest sleepover in the Hideaway in Love Island's twelve series history - and what a gorgeous pair to do so. 'In the past, producers had to invite Islanders to use the breakout bedroom which meant the love nest was generally not used until couples became more established. 'But producers have changed the rules of the breakout bedroom so it can be used at any time, without an invite. 'It means Helena and Harry could take advantage of the 'no invite needed' and explore their connection. 'The scenes will play out later this week, but bosses are unlikely to show anything too naughty, as is the show's usual approach.'

But he was turned down just before bedtime to respect Toni's feelings. Conor told his pals: "After the lights go off and I'm going to go up and get her and then walk to the Hideaway."

Love Island fans say ‘give her the £50k' as Toni confronts ‘disrespectful' new bombshell in awkward scenes
LOVE Island viewers want American stunner Toni to take home £50,000 after she confronted new bombshell Yasmin in very awkward scenes. Las Vegas girl Toni took Yasmin to task over her date with Conor Phillips, which the original villa girls watched on a big screen. 4 Yasmin questioned if rugby hunk Conor could realistically face a trans-Atlantic relationship with Toni. It didn't sit well with the US star, who felt it wasn't Yasmin's place to make a judgment without having even met her. As the three new bombshells were introduced to the villa, the girls sat down to talk about what they'd witnessed. Toni gave Yasmin her iciest stare and told her in no uncertain terms: "It's not long distance necessarily with Conor. It's the person for me. You don't know me, or anyone else in here." Yasmin hit back: "I'm allowed to give my opinion." Toni hit back: "Of course you are. It's just the wrong first impression." One fan wrote on X: "give toni the 50k." A third shared: "Toni i actually like her she clocks teaa." Toni wasn't the only one rubbed up the wrong way. Love Island couple on the rocks as hunk 'makes dig at girl's self respect' after steamy sex revelation Air hostess Helena fumed that Harry revelled in the attention he was receiving and comments he made about her party girl lifestyle. Helena told the girls: 'My man basically saying I'm a massive red flag because of something I've done in the past and I'm a big party girl…?' Alima said: 'Double standards'. Fighting all the girls' corner, Meg added 'Come in as a bombshell but don't talk about us.' Shakira said: "You don't know any of us it's rude.' Helena then said: 'I'm raging about the disrespect.' She confronted Harry and told him that she would have already cut him off in the outside world. However, as they talked and shared jokes, Helena slowly let Harry off the hook. 4 4 Love Island 2025 full lineup Harry Cooksley: A 30-year-old footballer with charm to spare.

As to what he is looking for in his ideal woman, the Limerick man's type on paper is dark eyes, ambitious, good craic and a go-getter. 'I don't mind a dominant woman,' he added, 'I like someone to be independent and do their own thing and then we come together and do our thing.'

He was like 'my advice might be a bit different from others because I won'." He added: "I'm 25 and I've only had one relationship and it wasn't very long.

"So, hopefully this is the right place, and it should be, you know, because you're in a lovely villa surrounded by beautiful people, so I'm hoping that this is the one."
