How to write a podcast description....oh WAIT A SECOND… this isn't Google….that's embarrassing. Must stop asking Arthur for advice on how to write important things. Luke Franks and one of our beautiful brides Laura join Yasmin for the very first proper episode of MAFS UK: It's Official! The first week of MAFS UK was a busy one - skiing, cave diving, a tractor ride… and 12 strangers pledged their romantic lives to each other in front of all their friends and family after having met mere minutes previously. Quite a big deal actually. Our experts have matched our couples based on compatibility and -er- DEM TIDDIES. But we're about to see those matches put to the test. Yasmin comes through with spelling and MAFS lessons (geddit?!), Luke is astounded by how many synonyms Georges has for breasts, and Laura gives us the lowdown on what's cool in Chelsea in our brilliantly titled game: Edge or No Edge. Sparkling water, anyone?Remember, MAFS UK is on every Monday to Thursday night at 9pm on E4, and we'll be back next week with the ultimate debrief! As they would say in Chelsea… splendid.

That recoupling was basically an elaborate way of sorting out the villa's lost property - we've got a stuffed toy dog, a sagittarius necklace, a can of Lynx and a ring, does anyone want to claim them? Luke Franks is back with Arielle because Kem's gone into Casa Amor (only joking) - and they are joined by queen of Love Island episode reviews, Nadia Jae! So, we saw the end of the recoupling last night - it was all a bit dramatic but at least Liam and Millie are back togeth- OH WAIT HERE COMES LILLIE. We were NOT expecting that (and let's be honest, neither was Liam...) Everyone's back in the villa now - all 18 of them... bring out the bunk beds. There were a lot of chats to be had after the recoupling and some of our Islanders have even taken love advice from Toby. TOBY!!! What's going on in there?! It doesn't look like the aftermath is going to be over anytime soon, because in the preview for Sunday's episode we saw Tyler and Kaz having a *very* heated chat. We've had some serious grafting this week - so Sideman is here with the JD Graft Off to help us crown this week's top grafter. Luke's playing for Kem again so the pressure is ON - it was 2-2 last week, who's going to take the lead? Remember - if you want to get involved, tweet us using #LoveIslandPodcast. If you have a crush you want to shout out for our Crush Club, or if you have a dilemma that you need Liv Attwood to help you solve - you can email us on themorningafter@itv.com. Now can someone PLEASE put that postcard in the recycling bin?!
We accidentally changed the channel and caught the end of A Place In The Sun at the end of last night's episode, looked like they were showing a really lovely villa. Would be a great place to send a bunch of fitties... An episode of two halves - it was all a bit tense to begin with, but we ended all the week all loved up... JIBERTY IS OFFICIAL! Luke's back in with Arielle this morning (maybe Kem's having an extra day off because he's so annoyed about the whole friendship bracelet thing?) and they are joined by Yasser to talk about last night's episode! Sharon pops in for a good old catch up about her time in the villa, and we get all the inside goss about what she really thinks is going on in the whole Hugo-Toby-Chloe situation... AND as it's the end of the week - Sideman is here for the JD Graft-Off! Luke's playing for Kem today, so the pressure is well and truly ON. We'll be back on Monday morning... so in the meantime keep tweeting us using #LoveIslandPodcast and email us on themorningafter@itv.com if you have a crush that you want us to shout out in Crush Club or if you have a life dilemma that you need Liv Attwood to solve in Liv Island. Anyone else kinda disappointed that Jake and Lib didn't eat the spag bol like they do in Lady and The Tramp? Opportunity missed, tbh.
Careful Toby... last time Hugo got that angry he made class stay behind for the first five minutes of lunch. WHAT A RIDE - best episode of the series so far? Not for us to say, but that's deffo going to go down in Love Island history. Luke Franks is sitting in Kem's chair today and Gareth (aka Hunsnet) is here to debrief last night's dramz with us. Ok, so let's talk about that recoupling - that was a surprise. Chloby are finito and Tabi is officially on. Preeeetty sure there's going to be a bit of fall out after that in tonight's episode. EEEeeek. And our babe Kaz finally got a SNOG! Yes baby girl! Our lovely Steff Todd is here with a steaming hot plate of impressions (her Sharon is absolute FIRE) - and Gareth gives it a bit of a whirl too. It's nice to have a boy that can do impressions around (soz Kem) Keep tweeting us using #LoveIslandPodcast and email us on themorningafter@itv.com if you have a dilemma that you need Liv Attwood to solve, or if you have a crush that you want us to shout out on our Crush Club. Abi's setting more traps than the chef in Ratatouille. Kinda ironic that Toby enjoyed wearing that mouse outfit so much, eh?!

Every day is hump day if your name is Officer Mike. Arielle has another one of her best pals sitting in Kem's seat this morning - it's Luke Franks! Jordan and Rebecca (fresh off the jet - btw) are also here to spill the tea on their time in the villa.

How do we think our Islanders are going to deal with the fall out? It looks like there are going to be a couple of arguments in tonight's episode. Eeeeek. Mike and Priscilla went to the hideaway. There was cream involved. Do we need to say anything more? It was a lot. So, what do we think about Shaughna getting the feels for Luke M? It kinda came out of nowhere - but we're kinda here for it.
