Love Island 2021 recap – Danny and Aaron FIGHT over Lucinda as Sharon is dumped – latest news and updates
LOVE ISLAND'S Danny and Aaron locked horns over Lucinda after Sharon was dumped from the villa.
The latest bombshells AJ Bunker and Danny Bibby got the first pick in the ITV2 dating show.
New girl AJ has been grafting hard and made it clear she likes both Hugo and Liam, but ended up choosing Hugo.
Meanwhile, tattooed hunk Danny dated both Sharon and Kaz and seemed to impress every girl in the villa.
But, he also had eyes on Lucinda as he admitted to Jake there was a "different vibe" when talking to her.
In the end, he decided to choose Lucinda, meaning poor Sharon was left standing alone and had to pack her bags.
Soon after, Aaron decided to let Lucinda know he was still interested in her, attempting to kiss her in the garden right under Danny's nose.
The new boy didn't take kindly to it and pulled Aaron for a chat and said he "deserved some respect".
As a love triangle develops, who will Lucinda choose?

OUT OF LOVE
KERRY Katona’s daughter Lilly McFadden has revealed how she turned down an offer to appear on Love Island this year.
Lilly, 18, admitted she said no to the ITV dating show as it would “be her worst nightmare” to have to be seen loved-up with a stranger on telly.
The daughter TV star Kelly, 40, and singer Brian McFadden, said while she was keen to get into show-business, Love Island wasn’t the way forward.
As well as struggling with PDA, Lilly said she would be too embarrassed knowing her Catholic nan Mairead would be watching from home.
She told Online: “It’s not a bit of me – not in a rude way, it’s a fun show – but if I was going to make a big TV debut, it would not be with Love Island.”
The teen went on to explain that in “no disrespect” to the show, she personally disliked “being romantic” or showing off her body.

AMOR TO COME?
LOVE Island viewers are convinced Brad McClelland will make a shock return in Casa Amor after spotting a ‘clue’ in the show’s rule book.
Heartbroken by the Northumberland lad’s dramatic exit last night, they’ve scoured the small print and found a smidgen of hope that he’ll be back.
The section reads: “The producers of the Programme may in their discretion may reintroduce an Islander seen in earlier stages of the competition who was previously evicted. The Programme producers’ decision will be final.”
While no evicted Islander has ever reappeared in Casa Amor, some have returned to the main villa.
Mike Thalassitis and Sam Gowland were both put back into the mix in their respective series’, and it seems it would be a welcome twist this time round too.
One viewer wrote on Twitter: “Would be a great twist if brad goes to casa amor. Then lucinda can go there and bring him back! :-).”

WILL FAYE’S HEAD BE TURNED?
Unable to hide her attraction to the newcomer, Faye tells co-star Sharon Gaffka and others that Danny is a “morning treat” as she directs the girls’ attentions towards him as he walks through the garden.
She then compliments his physique after revealing to the girls on the day bed that he doesn’t even go to the gym, according to him.
Faye’s head could be well and truly turned it seems – so should Teddy Soares be warned?
Teddy chose to pair up with Faye in the last recoupling, while he did seem interested in new girl AJ Bunker.
Perhaps both of the Islanders will be moving on to other people despite growing closer, and sharing a smooch after becoming an official pairing.
WHO IS NEWCOMER ANDREA-JANE ‘AJ’ BUNKER?
New girl AJ entered the Majorcan villa in the show’s third week – and already has her eyes on some of the boys.
AJ is a hair extension technician from Dunstable.
Before going into the Love Island villa, she described herself as “a big adventure and travel lover” with her Instagram filled with snaps of the beauty in exotic locations like Morocco, Philippines and Panama.
And are set to welcome someone who is “confident” but also “indecisive and impatient”.
“I can be a little bit savage because I say it as it is. My girls call me savage all the time.
“But I’ve got the biggest heart and I’ll do anything for my friends and family.”
IS NEWCOMER AJ USING HUGO?
LOVE Island fans have accused the stunning new bombshell AJ of “using” Hugo after she targeted him in the villa.
The hair extension technician, 28, turned the boys’ heads as she entered the villa on Wednesday.
Since then has turned up the flirting with both Teddy and Hugo.
This is the most attention the fan-favourite PE teacher has received from a woman in the villa, with them enjoying a private chat on the terrace and by the pool.
They even shared a snog during an egg game Faye had invented.
But Love Island viewers are suspicious that AJ could be going after Hugo because he’s so popular with fans.
One tweet said: “AJ is giving me very much ‘I only like Hugo because the public do’ vibes idk I’m suspicious.”
