This week, his budding romance with Georgia Steel has gone from strength to strength on Love Island, with the pair openly sharing their feelings for one another.
But in Thursday night’s episode of the show, Josh Denzel, 27, is set to find his loyalty to the brunette beauty as he falls into a flirtatious exchange with stunning new recruit Kazimir Crossley – who he deems ‘a delight to look at’.
However, while his commitment to his current show partner appeared to be on shaky ground, 20-year-old Georgia showed that hers was unwavering as she rebuffed the advances of hunky model Jordan Adefeyisan, 23, to stick with her man.
Putting things to the test: Josh Denzel’s romance with Georgia Steel is set to be put to the test on Thursday’s episode of Love Island, as new contestants will be seen entering the villa
During the episode, which will see 12 new housemates join the show, Josh is seen striking up a conversation with Kazimir as he admits: ‘Kaz is a delight. She’s a delight to look at and a delight to chat to. There’s a little bit of a vibe going on there.’
Asked about his relationship with Georgia, Josh responds: ‘I do feel like we are a strong couple. But again, it’s not boyfriend and girlfriend. I have to keep reminding myself of ‘Josh, you’ve only known this person 18 days.’
And when Kazimir confesses she he has her eye on him, the SPORTbible presenter retorts: ‘There’s a reason I’m having a chat with you now. I’m looking forward to the next few days. Get to know you.’

Loyal: However, Georgia showed that her commitment to Josh was unwavering as she rebuffed the advances of hunky model Jordan Adefeyisan, 23, to stick with her man
However, while Josh appears to be savouring the opportunity of getting close to Kazimir, Georgia will be seen resisting the temptation to go beyond friendship with handsome model Jordan.
After speaking with Jordan, she said: ‘Josh is what I’m looking for. We started the relationship. We’ve been loyal to each other, being respectful and being honest. So why would I want to betray that when I see a future with Josh.’
Josh recently attracted the ire of fans when he revealed to an enquiring Wes Nelson that he’d ‘fondled’ – or ‘done bits’ – with his partner in bed – leading viewers to point out that she’d told her pals otherwise just moments beforehand.
Moments after the X-rated conversation aired last week, viewers took to Twitter in droves to brand the musclebound presenter a ‘liar’, accusing him of ‘trying to be one of the lads’ with his claims.

The conversation came about after 20-Year-old Wes, having patched things up with his now ex-partner Laura Anderson, 29, was in a jubilant mood after having enjoyed a passionate moment with the blonde beauty under the covers the night before.
He then proceeded to chat with the boys of the villa about how far they’d gone with their partners, prompting Josh to reveal, after a short and awkward pause: ‘There’s been a fumble.’
An excited Wes then coined the term ‘Do Bits Society’ for those who had taken things further than simply kissing under the covers.
Love Island continues at 9pm on ITV2.
