Tonight's show will see luxury travel specialist Rachel, 29, try her best to get to know the single boys before choosing to recouple with one of them.

With Brad and Chuggs left without a girl, the latest islander takes her time getting to know both businessman Chuggs Wallis and labourer Brad McClelland.

Rachel holds the fate of of them both in her hands, with whoever she doesn't choose to couple up with in 24 hours time being brutally dumped.

As well as wowing fans at home with her jaw-dropping appearance, Rachel's undoubted good looks hasn't gone unnoticed by the boys.

“With the guys here, who has caught your eye?” Rachel is asked upon arrival by fellow islander Kaz, but the new girl keeps her cards close.

"That would be telling," she says, before being swept away for a chat by Chuggs, who wastes no time dishing out the compliments.

“You’re super confident - I like it. You’re feisty," he tells her, desperately trying to win her over ahead of the recoupling.

“I am. Why not be confident? What is the worst that can happen?" Rachel responds, before putting her new date on the spot.

"Do you find me attractive or are you only grafting to keep yourself safe?" she brutally asks Chuggs, 23.

Later, Brad pulls Rachal aside for a chat - with the pair discussing the sort of partner they're looking to find in the villa.

Suggesting Rachel is the one for him, Brad teases: "That’s why I started laughing when I saw Jake looking at me.

"Jake said, ‘I couldn’t even see her and I could tell she was your type because of your reaction’.”

Clearly impressed with them both, both Brad and Chuggs continue their mission to get to know Rachel the following day.

"You seem like you’ve settled in well. You’ve got a really nice calm demeanor about you," Oxford Brookes graduate Chuggs says.

But once again, Rachel keeps her feelings hidden hinting there "is no person she doesn't get along with" and feels she's friendly "with everyone".

Desperate to win her over, Brad takes his chances by planting a kiss on Rachel's lips during the Undercover Lover challenge.

“It was an alright kiss considering the situation we’re in," he tells cameras after the intimate lip locking.

But despite his efforts, all is not won yet.

"I want to get to know Chuggs," she reveals in the Beach Hut, with Chuggs expressing desires for the same, calling her "energetic" and "electric".

"I can definitely see myself getting on with her so well," he says, as Rachel's time to decide on a partner draws ever closer to being up.

"This has not been easy in the slightest. I think you’re both amazing guys in every single way. I can’t fault either of you for absolutely anything," she later tells them both at the recoupling.
