Love Island kicked off another series on Monday night and things got steamy as the contestants took part in a series of dares around the fire pit.
Contestants Amber Beckford and Tasha Ghouri shared a steamy kiss during the game with some viewers left annoyed with the boys’ reactions to the smooch after they looked slightly unimpressed.
Opening her dare card, Amber read out: ‘Give the best chat-up line to the girl you fancy the most?’

‘Oh,’ Luca said awkwardly.
Amber then said: ‘I’ve got a good one. “Tash, fancy giving us a tash?”‘

The series kicked off with a dramatic twist as viewers were given the chance to vote for this year’s first couples for the first time, but romances have already been put to the test with the arrival of hunky bombshell Davide Sanclimenti.
The couples at the end of episode one were Gemma Owen and Liam Llewellyn, Amber and Dami, Indiyah Polack and Ikenna Ekwonna, Tasha Ghouri and Andrew Le Page and Luca Bish and Paige Thorne.
Love Island producers have confirmed to MailOnline that while food-eating challenges have been scrapped, sex is still on the menu, and they will assess each moment of pleasure between the Islanders on a case-by-case basis.

Asked by MailOnline if the 2022 series will show sex scenes unlike last year, executive producer Mike Spencer admitted there was no black out ban in place.
He said: ‘We don’t decide anything in advance. You just don’t know until you see the footage, genuinely, we are so reactive we are cutting around the clock.
‘If something happens, we are cutting it overnight so until you see something it is hard to make a judgment and you just have to go with what is right.
‘The show does get it right, it’s suggestive and funny, music is a massive thing, and we will continue to do that but until we see it it’s difficult to tell and it depends on who it is.’
They’re here! In the opening scenes of the much-anticipated new series, the girls were seen sat round the infamous fire pit when host Laura Whitmore welcomed them to the ITV dating show
The new villa, which is Love Island’s third, is located just 10 minutes from last year’s base but bosses were keen to give the show a ‘glow up’ ahead of its eighth series.
And the emphasis is on size, with bigger bedrooms, and more outdoor space, giving the 12 hopefuls lots of opportunity for romance to blossom.
Mike said: ‘We decided we wanted to have a new summer. We have a new designer on board called Patrick Watson and we viewed quite a few villas and this one was by far the best.
‘We want the viewers to tune in and know it’s Love Island but with a glow up. We started construction two months’ ago and the villa still isn’t finished.’
Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITV Hub. Episodes are available the following morning on BritBox.
