Love Island VIP Upends Episode 9 With Men's Move to 'VIP Members Club' and Three New 'Granaten'

Producers escalate the format to disrupt alliances and reframe the competition.

Overview

  • Pietro Lombardi appeared in the villa for a surprise performance that distracted the women as the men were quietly relocated to a separate suite dubbed the VIP Members Club.
  • Three new entrants — Gabriela Alves Rodríguez, Sina Hornberger and Joena Steilen — joined the men in the new location to test existing connections.
  • The latest pairing ceremony set fresh couples, including Laura Maria Lettgen and Yannick Syperek, alongside Jeje Lopes with Umut Tekin, Stella Stegmann with Josh Stanley, and Tatum Koch with Filip Pavlovic.
  • Lisa-Marie Gaul chose to leave during the ceremony, which also led to the departures of Josua Maria Günther and Nam Vo after they were left without partners.
  • Follow-up interviews highlighted on‑show dynamics, with Yannick praising Laura's style and stating he accepts a partner's prior OnlyFans activity, while Stella said she felt no guilt over tensions involving Jeje and Umut.
