Overview

• Wednesday’s episode showed the pair laughing at breakfast before hugging on camera, with housemate Caroline saying, "They've fallen in love."
• Later footage captured them cuddling under the covers after getting into the same bed, following earlier scenes of Marcus helping with Elsa’s fake tan.
• Some viewers on X complained the series feels too Love Island-like after the on-screen closeness appeared within days of the launch.
• Other posts suggested, without evidence, that Elsa may be staging a romance to provoke ex-partner and internet personality Ed Matthews.
• The relaunched ITV format features late arrivals issuing 'evil eye' nominations and a public Vote to Save, with Zelah already up for Friday’s eviction.
