Love Island’s Arabella picks Danny in sexy gym bunny challenge before sobbing Yewande threatens to leave after showdown with the hunk
LOVE Island's Arabella Chi picks Danny Williams in a sexy gym bunny challenge before Yewande Biala threatens to leave the villa over their love triangle.
The 28-year-old bombshell has rocked the pair's relationship since entering the villa last week, with Yewande and Danny set to have an "explosive showdown" in tonight's show.
A saucy game appears to be what pushes the 23-year-old scientist over the edge, with Arabella kissing the 21-year-old model while dressed as a sexy bunny rabbit.
All of the girls show off their enviable bodies in tiny black leotards and fishnet tights for the challenge, accessorising with cuffs, a bow tie, and sultry bunny ears.
Meanwhile, the boys take on the role of personal trainer as each girl takes on a variety of challenges - including drinking rabbit-food green juice while running on a treadmill, bunny hops, and eating an entire carrot while on a rowing machine without using their hands.
However, it is no doubt the final round that sparked extra tension, with each girl having to complete 20 sit-ups - giving their partner a kiss each time they rise from the floor.
As single girls, Arabella and Maura Higgins were free to choose any of the men to be their personal trainer - with Maura opting for fellow singleton Tom Walker while Arabella threw caution to the wind and selected Danny.
Speaking in the Beach Hut, the other girls take issue with the newcomer's decision, with Amy Hart asking: "Could she not have just chosen Anton?" and Amber Gill sniping: "We all knew that Arabella was going to pick Danny."
To add to the awkward atmosphere, Danny and Yewande both admitted that they struggled with the kissing due to how tense their romance has become.
Speaking individually, Danny explains: "We haven’t fully cleared the air yet so there was a bit of tension there."
Yewande adds: "After the end of the course, I just tried not to look at Danny. It was really awkward."
A preview for tonight's episode shows a sobbing Yewande threaten to quit the show after she confronts Danny on the love triangle.
She tells her partner: "You told me a couple of days ago you're not interested in getting to know anyone else.
"What do you want from me? I don't really get it. Do you know what you want?"
Danny replies: "I want me and you to continue talking and I don’t want it to be awkward. In regards to Arabella, I just want to get to know her. That’s it.
"Can I ask what you want?"
Yewande hits back: "It’s hard for me to know what I want knowing I am now in competition with someone else."
Breaking down in the Beach Hut, the beauty sobs: "I don't understand why someone can't just want me."
The next morning, Anna Vakali asks Yewande how she is feeling, with the star replying: "I don't really want to be here any more, I feel I am not going to find love here."
Crying in the Beach Hut, she continues: "I just need time to really think about what's going on and then I can decide on what I want to do."
Despite the upset, Arabella tells Danny that she'd want him to end things with Yewande "in an ideal world".
The supermodel asks: "I think you need to make a decision. If she comes down today and starts fighting for you, what are you going to do?
"Are you going to ignore the fact that there is a connection with us?
"Do you want to patch things up with her romantically?"
Danny asks what she would want him to do, to which Arabella replies: "I want to pursue things with you."
He clarifies: "You want me to say to Yewande 'this isn’t happening'?"
Pulling no punches, she says: "Yes, in an ideal world."
Yewande previously came under fire for refusing to show affection towards Danny ever since they coupled up earlier in the series.
The hopeful's fellow Islanders called her out on her hot and cold behaviour, telling her that she needed to step up her game if she wanted to keep the hunk's attention.
Danny previously spoke out about his insecurity within the relationship, poignantly saying of Yewande: "Why come on Love Island if you don't want to be loved?"
Arabella's arrival has spurned Yewande on to try and be more affectionate with her beau, raising eyebrows on Friday when she made a point of sitting on Danny's chest while he was sunbathing.
She also stopped wearing her eye mask in bed, involving herself with some late night snogging instead.
However, Danny was seen admitting that he believed Yewande could switch back at a moment's notice, refusing to rule Arabella out as a potential love interest.
Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2
