Original subtitles

Never have I ever been more excited for a new series of Aftersun.

Never have I ever fancied the arse of someone on the panel.

Never have I ever wanted the titles to roll more in my life.

In that case, let's do it.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

'She's the OG of love, please welcome your host, Laura Whitmore.'

Welcome to Love Island Aftersun!

What a first week.

I mean, we've had drama, tension, and some very sloppy snogging.

Can't forget that. We are back for a brand-new series

with more Love Island gossip

that you can wave a brightly coloured flag at.

The Islanders have got a swanky new villa

and we've got a swanky new pad, too.

AUDIENCE: Whoo!

Look at this, we have our very own bar, finally.

CHEERING

I've been asking for that for quite a while now!

Each week we will be joined by a Love Island legend,

or as we like to call them,

a Love Island star in a reasonably-priced bar.

Tonight, it's a two-for-one special,

please give it up for Kaz and Liberty.

CHEERING

Ladies, what's the cocktail special tonight?

Cocktail special for tonight, we are serving the Italian Stallion.

Ooh!

It's tall, smooth, full bodied,

and goes perfectly with a slice of pizza.

Cheers, babe. Cheers, babe.

Girls, that's really, really good. Isn't that proper good? Delicious.

Getting stuck into the free bar,

we've got Indiyah and Ikenna's friends and family. Hi, guys!

CHEERING

There's been a lot of talk about top threes this week

and in no particular order, here's mine.

It's Love Island superfans Sam Thompson, Donna Preston

and my new right-hand man, and my left, Darren Harriet.

So, we will be discussing all of the action from this week in the villa,

plus we will see what happened

when Darren got VIP access to the action on the very first day.

So excited, there he is.

And the Beach Hut is back! CHEERING

We'll have Dami calling in live from Mallorca. Look, there he is.

Plus, loveable Welsh wonder kid, Liam, will be here.

We all love a bit of Liam. APPLAUSE

He'll be sharing his short but sweet experience in the villa.

We have so much to get through. Starting with new boy... Jacques?

I want to say... FRENCH ACCENT: Jacques.

But it's "Jax"?

Jacques. Jacques.

Jacques? Jacques! "Jax." It's just "Jax."

What did you make of him? I like him cos he's a troublemaker.

He knows what his type is.

Tanned girls who look like Paige or Gemma, ideally.

Can I say about his date, I really appreciated Afia on the date,

because as soon as he said, "I'm into tanned brunettes,"

Afia just starts eating straightaway.

I also was, like, come on, at least pretend, "Who's in your top three?"

"Not you." What are you doing?

He needs to learn how to talk to ladies.

Before Jacques made his entrance,

Aftersun pulled him for a little exclusive chat.

Take a look at this.

Hey, you good? I was on edge today.

It's a bit weird having cameras in your face all the time.

I can't wait to get in there, crack on with all the girls.

I'm off to do some sexy slo-mo shots.

Got an outgoing personality.

I'm not really bothered what people think of me.

I am looking for a wifey. Hopefully, there's some wifies in there for me.

I'm feeling good, you know, getting in the villa today,

just excited to be in there and meet everyone.

What are you saying? I'm liking the look of Paige.

Obviously, Ekin as well. She's a bit of me.

I'll just be myself. If they don't like me, they don't like me.

The boys have a thing to worry about,

I'm not really bothered about stepping on people's toes.

It's fair play for me.

So, Donna, a lot of the ladies, they noticed Jacques walking in,

what's your take?

He definitely doesn't make my vagina clap, let me tell you.

LAUGHTER Straight to the point!

Yeah, I mean... No... Tell it like it is!

I mean, no, he's come in, Bobby Big Balls, it's just too much.

He's saying he wants a wife,

but he's gonna crack on with all the ladies. Calm down, simmer down,

just simmer down and relax.

Of course he likes the cameras, look at him! He's loving the cameras.

I want to ask, Kaz and Liberty,

cos you guys know what it's like to be in there,

how would you feel if an ex walked in

when you were in there last year?

I'd run and drop the mic again.

I'd be the same. I do not want my ex in there.

It is the worst thing ever.

Fair play to Gemma for going through that.

She's handled it quite well. Guys, tell Jake and Tyler to leave.

Get the taxi! Thank you.

Sorted that out. We did see Jacques have a little flirt with Gemma.

Should Luca be worried?

I've waited my whole life to be here, by the way, I'm loving it!

We love having you here!

I love the fact he's come in here, and he's Gemma's ex-boyfriend.

But Luca's my favourite after Liam's gone

and I would love Luca to see it and be like,

"Do you know what? You do that,"

because I don't think they're the main characters any more.

I think the main characters are actually gonna be Paige and Luca.

What?! You're, like, streaking ahead!

Darren, Luca has had to fend off Davide.

At the moment it looks like he's having to fight off Jacques.

I'm kinda with you, maybe he should just skip ahead.

He's had to fight, he's only been in there a week

and he's had to fight. He defeated Davide.

Like, the Italian stallion, he kept calling him a Greek God.

He said he's so good-looking he makes him proud to be Italian!

He beat him, and now he's up against a guy from Cumbria.

OK, we have to move on. We have to move on.

Ekin-Su, or as I like to say, "Hurri-kin Su",

I worked really hard on that, guys.

She's turned the villa upside down this week.

She made a beeline straight for Davide.

The second she got in there, she wanted him, she got him, Donna.

Do you like her tactics?

At the beginning, I was like, "What are you doing, babe?"

But I really like it.

She's making great TV, isn't she?

I like her. I like her style. Yeah.

She got what she wanted. Win-win. She's playing the game.

I don't know if he wants love

or I don't know if she wants a part in the next Marvel film.

I'm not really sure what's going on.

Perhaps she can have both. Yeah, maybe she'll have both.

Davide's obviously into her as well. As I said, it did work.

Have you ever seen a better example of an alpha male than this?

Look at this. Do you remember this bit?

DAVIDE GRUNTING

Go on.

MIMICS GRUNTING Darren.

I love it. Davide is ultra-macho, isn't he?

I bet he ejaculates hammers.

Sam, do we think there's real chemistry?

We saw the kiss, that's the most action the villa has seen so far.

A little peck. More of an attack!

I love it, mate. This is classic Love Island, it's great.

I've tried to do that move with my girlfriend and it's tough.

Not the kissing bit. I mean, it should be the kissing bit!

The carrying bit, it's hard. You put all the strain in your neck

and then you can't really get them up and then they go,

"It's OK, don't worry about it."

Are you impressed he was able to do that?

With weights as well, not a chance.

I'm a beta male, so there's a difference between alpha and beta.

But, yeah, well played him, I like the kiss, I'm here for it.

Thing is now, should Davide be a little bit worried,

because Jacques has walked in there,

showed a little bit of interest in Ekin-Su, what do you think?

I think Davide is gonna walk,

not from the villa, but from her, I'm afraid.

I think he's probably... I think him and Paige. Really?

I do, yeah. I can feel it in my waters.

No, no, I can feel it. Can you?

Yeah, it's gonna come. It's coming, it's gonna happen.

Maybe something else is coming. You're feeling something.

A headache coming, I don't know!

Jacques coming in is great for Davide

because I think he's got a lot more than just looks.

I think people are gonna really like him.

Let's move on to lovely Liam, who chose to leave the villa this week.

APPLAUSE

I think we're all shocked, I really didn't see that coming.

Originally, he was coupled up with Gemma.

Do you think the public got it wrong

and if he had been coupled up with someone else

it would have been different?

Possibly. It's hard to say with the whole public thing, isn't it?

Also, they're kind of same age, are they not? I think they are.

He's a bit older. There's only a few years between all of them.

Yeah. He's so sweet, isn't he?

He's got the most piercing blue eyes.

When we were doing the coupling up, he walked in

and just for a second, I was like... He sucks you in.

He got me when he said he didn't understand

how a grape turned into a sultana.

It's just dehydration, babe, that's all it is.

It's like me on a Sunday morning, know what I mean?

What's a sultana? A sultana? You don't know what a sultana is?

Don't say it in front of everybody! You don't know what a sultana is?!

We'll talk in a little bit, Sam. Liam is gonna be on the show later,

we're really excited about that.

Now, it's only week one, can you believe it already?

We've had unannounced arrivals at the villa from Davide,

Ekin-Su, Afia and now Jacques,

but they weren't the only ones, because our Darren

you enjoyed a little mini break, too, didn't you?

Yeah, I did. I went to find myself and I didn't.

Where are you? It was perfect! Where are you?

As our new series regular, it was only fair

that you are put through a little bit of a Love Island initiation.

Shall we have a little look?

I'm here at the actual Love Island villa

and today is a very special day.

It's the get in where 11 shiny new "Island-ders"...

I said "Islanders" weird, didn't I?

Shiny new Islanders will enter the brand-new villa

for the very first time.

Oh, yes. We are talking about the class of 2022.

It's a proper operation this one, and in an Aftersun exclusive,

I'm going to be going through the process myself.

Yeah! Wish me luck.

It's actually this way.

This may look like a crime scene from Line Of Duty,

but these very glamorous set of tents

are where the cast are individually held.

Now, I'm joined by DSI...

Sorry, assistant casting producer, Georgia Hope.

Is it important that the cast don't see each other before the show?

Absolutely. Obviously, we want that first moment

where they lock eyes to be in the villa, all natural.

Very important we keep them very, very separate beforehand.

But they've got their phones and laptops?

No, we take all that away.

It just prepares everyone for a summer without the internet.

Casting it doesn't end today,

we'll be looking after them through to the end.

It's an ongoing journey, but they're all lovely.

Send in the first two Islanders.

WHOOPING

We've got Indiyah and we've got Paige.

The first two to go in there.

I think those two are gonna be really close,

they share that special moment.

They're gonna be good friends, those two.

Or they might completely hate each other.

Having a spectacular entrance into the villa is crucial

to start any journey off with a bang.

So to talk a little bit more about entrances, I'm here with DOP Ben.

So, is it your job to make them look sexy?

That's what we try and do, but it's not just me.

Shoot on Arri cameras, slo-mo, we've got drones.

What is it about slo-mo that makes everything seem sexier?

Everyone looks good in slo-mo, don't they?
