Last night it was time for the Love Island baby challenge, where contestants have to take care of an infant for a day.
After Danica Taylor and Jamie Allen’s departure on Wednesday night, the five remaining couples woke up to the sound of babies crying. Their task was to look after their designated new arrival.

It is safe to say that most of this year’s contestants are not quite ready for parenthood. Much like most other years, then.
Tasha Ghouri despaired, saying: “This is my nightmare, I’ve actually woken up to a nightmare.”
Gemma Owen added: “My ears are f****** ringing already!”
However, pretend dad Dami Hope took a more positive approach to the experience, saying: “I feel like I’m attached. I feel like my experience here has just got 10 times better.”
His other half Indiyah Polack added: “Dami has been doing an amazing job, such a good dad. Honestly I couldn’t ask for a better father.”
Luca Bish joked with his partner Gemma Owen, saying: “I didn’t know if I’d be a good dad but being here for eight weeks and looking after Gem, I think I’ve actually got it in me.”
Andrew Le Page, who took care of baby Leo with partner Tasha, also settled into parenthood well, saying: “Leo is my best mate and I’ve got a good bond with him already.”

Dads in charge
Later in the episode the girls were treated to a mother’s day out, the boys took on solo parenting duties in the Love Island baby challenge.
While their partners were away the boys took it upon themselves to whizz up some homemade baby food for their new arrivals.
Davide Sanclimenti was particularly impressed with his baby food skills. Speaking in the beach hut with his daughter Irene, he said: “When I give her food she doesn’t cry. She’s like me, if you give me I’m happy. So if I give her food she’s happy.”
Basically, he’s just discovered the secret of parenting.
Baby challenge conclusion
After the girls returned to the villa, all the islanders were treated to a baby disco complete with personalised baby bottles, a light-up dance floor and pass the parcel.
During the evening’s games, Dami and Indiyah claimed victory in the baby challenge for their parenting of baby Sienna.
