Love Island review episode 5: Chloe becomes the nation’s sweetheart (almost) as Brad & Chuggs graft for survival

WHAT a difference a day makes – just hours after Love Island appealed to fans to stop their hate, Chloe Burrows is the nation’s sweetheart.

Well… almost.

Chloe Burrows was applauded by Love Island fans last night

The marketing exec, 25, who received a barrage of unacceptable death threats after sending Shannon Singh packing, saved show sweetheart Hugo Hammond last night.

She swooped in and rescued him from being single – the worst possible thing you can be in Love Island land – in a tense recoupling.

Faye Winter – a facemash of Katie Price and Cat Deeley but with the sort of swearing skills last seen on Catherine Tate’s foul-mouthed Nan – certainly wasn’t going to do it.

She had seemed to be hitting it off with the pound-shop Joe Wicks – until 6ft6in of prime Welch beefcake loomed in.

Liam, the charming Welshman with the face of a bloke ten years older, slid into first the villa then her heart.

Relaxing in an empty bath in a pair of sunglasses like a mafia don trying to lie low Faye barked at Chloe: “What the f*** are you gonnna do?”

When she replied that she didn’t have a clue she told her: “I’m backing you whatever you want to f***ing do.”

Sure enough Faye, freed of her coupling with Hugo, chose new boy Liam who she’s willing to push down the aisle if she has to.

But there were no cuddles nor hugs for poor Chuggs (yes, that really is what his name is based on).

He and Brad – who has been shuttled around the girls like a good-looking pass-the-parcel – are now facing the chop.

Their fate now lies in the hands of someone nobody has the first clue about, after the head-spinning arrivals continued with Rachel.

They now face a 24-hour graft-off to win her affections – because whoever she likes the least gets binned.





Awkwardly for the pair, both have spent recent days shouting about their type being petite blondes.

Probably best not mention that one again in the next 24 hours lads.

After a start to this series where it looked like literally nobody would be into anyone else, things have finally started to hot up.
