Hi everyone it’s Shaughna Phillips here with my penultimate Love Island column of the series. I can’t believe it’s the final on Monday 1 August – it’s gone so fast! I’ll be really honest, I haven’t found this week as exciting. I think it’s because they’re all really loved-up now, so I already know what they’re going to say without even having to watch it.
