The Hideaway is open! Things are heating up on Love Island as Shaq and Tanya become the first couple to go to the sought-after date spot.
With all the islanders sleeping in one room, things can get a little crowded and awkward which leaves the couples with very little alone time.
This is where the Hideaway comes in and it looks like Shaq and Tanya are the lucky pair that will get to explore it for the first time in this series.
It comes after a major recoupling and double dumping earlier this week that saw viewers say goodbye to Anna-May and Haris and hello to bombshells Ellie and Spencer.
The drama continues into Friday's episode with a game of dares and a love triangle between new bombshell Ellie, Ron and Lana.
The show also sees two couples head out to the villa's brand-new treehouse for a romantic date.

In the evening, the villa received a very exciting text:“Islanders, The Hideaway Retreat is open tonight, please choose a lucky couple to spend a luxury night away #NightAwayWithBae."
In a unanimous decision, the villa voted to send one of the most solid couples Shaq and Tanya to enjoy the luxury night away from prying eyes.
