The plush private room is the perfect place for islanders to get to know each other more intimately.

Designed like a top hotel room, the Hideaway is removed from the main how meaning it's more private than its Majorcan counterpart - though it's still laced with cameras, of course.

The new of its return is announced in classic Love Island fashion, via text.

Casey O'Gorman read it aloud: “Islanders, the Hideaway Retreat is open tonight, please choose a lucky couple to spend the night together #Rendezvous."

With no hesitation, the Islanders all shout: “Georgia H and Anton!”

The selection followed an emotive speech from Anton that laid his feelings bare and paid tribute to Georgia.

Anton told his co-stars: “To be fair, I did want to do that for a few days now….I was just waiting for the right time and that just felt like the right time…I feel like I wanted to do it in front of everyone.”

He picked the perfect moment, having waited for his idol Craig David to finish performing with former contestant Wes Nelson in a villa surprise.

Afterwards, he took to the stage and declared: "So we all know that I love a little bit of a speech, so obviously tonight is a really special night, absolutely amazing, the guys coming in and performing. I feel so grateful to experience it with all you lot, I've got a place in my heart for all of you. Absolutely all of you, so I just wanted to say I love you guys.

"But there is one person in particular that is a little bit more special than you lot. Georgia, come here.

"I just wanted to say that obviously over the past few weeks it's been amazing getting to know you, you've made my experience in here special. When I came in, there were so many boxes I was looking to be ticked, you ticked them all.

"So, for me, I think you know that there's no one who is going to walk through that door that is going to turn my head. I thought that on this night, Craig David being in the villa, nothing could make it more special than making it exclusive with you. If you'll have me?"

Blown away by the declaration, Georgia replied: "I do."

Tonight Georgia appears to reference her disgraced ex Stephen Bear in a follow up chat with Anton.

Speaking about her past with men, Georgia says: “I feel like I’ve had a really tough time, ended up with men who think I am disposable and always make me feel vulnerable, don’t make me feel safe and don’t declare how special I am to them. You doing that tonight was something I’ve never experienced before.”

Bear was jailed for 21 months, though served only half his sentence, for illicitly recording and then profiting from a video of him and Georgia having sex in his back garden.

Since being released last month he has filmed himself in "mouldy" accommodation and asked fans to slide into his DMs on social media.
