Love Island's Baby Episode Serves Up Three Undoubted Moments Of The Series

Alex and Josh aren't about to win Father Of The Year any time soon.

Love Island’s baby episode is traditionally one of the most loved of any series, and things were no different as this year’s aired.

The task, which sees the couples become parents to interactive plastic dolls, served up three classic moments on Wednesday night.

While many thought producers would fail to top last year’s episode, which saw Chris Hughes form an unlikely bond with his and Olivia Attwood’s ‘son’ Cash, Dr Alex George and Josh Denzel somehow managed to upstage him. 

First off, there was Alex’s detailed (and we mean detailed) description of how to perform a C-section, which left the rest of the boys - and indeed viewers at home - recoiling in horror. 

But despite being familiar with birthing procedures, it seemed Dr Alex was less of a natural when it came to being an actual parent. 

In fact, if his doll had been a real baby, he probably would have been up on some sort of charges, after a push-chair race went horribly wrong...

Yes, that is the baby you can see on the floor having fallen out of its pram.

But Alex was not the only one who won’t be winning Father Of The Year any time soon, as Josh also ended up seriously injuring his baby by accidentally pulling its arm off.

Needless to say that neither of the boys managed to pass the challenge, while Wes Nelson and Megan Barton-Hanson also failed to make the cut as parents. 

Laura Crane and Jack Fowler came out on top, winning the challenge behind Dani Dyer and Jack Fincham and Laura Anderson and Paul Knops. 

However, it was not enough to save them from being dumped from the Island, as later in the episode, it was revealed Laura and Jack had polled the lowest in the viewer vote and were therefore made to leave. 

‘Love Island’ continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2.

For four years, Eyal was a member of the pop group EverYoung who - in his words - "had small-time success", "toured the country" and created "fan-girl hysteria".

Since the group split in 2015, Eyal now serves as a model, and you may have seen him and his curly locks in Zara Larsson's 'Lush Life' music video.

Arguably the most prolific of this year's 'Love Island' contestants, Dani is best known thanks to her famous dad, 'EastEnders' actor and descendant of Edward III, Danny Dyer.

Reality superfans may also remember her from her brief-but-memorable stint on the ill-fated 'Love Island' successor 'Survival Of The Fittest' earlier this year.

It's not uncommon for models to wind up staying in the 'Love Island' villa, but Kendall's career path is a rather non-traditional one.

Having previously landed the title of Miss North West in 2015, Kendall then made it to the final of Miss England that same year, but bowed out of the pageant world shortly afterwards.

In her introductory interview, 21-year-old model Hayley reveals she's posed for a number of fashion brands, and even appeared in an ad for ITVBe.

A bit of digging from The Sun also revealed that she has a connection with a fair few former 'Love Island' stars, counting Scott Thomas and Chris Hughes among her friends.

Flight attendant Laura Anderson told 'Love Island' producers that her claim to fame is the celebs she's served over the course of her career, naming Channing Tatum as her most A-list.

However, she didn't disclose her past as a model for six years (which she does mention on her Bayt profile), while The Sun mentioned a past relationship with an undisclosed sports star and, curiously, the fact she used to go by the name Missy Love.

Intriguing...
