Maybe opposites don't attract?

They say opposites attract, so when bad boy Adam Faruugia and good girl Cartier Surjan became star-crossed lovers on Love Island, this was the couple we didn’t realise we needed in our lives.

Underneath all the tats and blokey remarks, 27 year-old plasterer Adam showed his sensitive side when he and the 19 year-old born-again Christian lifeguard became the Villa’s cutest couple. But will their romance last?

Cracks first started to show when Adam made it very clear that he wouldn’t accompany Cartier to church in the outside world, something that she very much took to heart.

But as life in the Villa gets more intense, we’re starting to think these two aren’t headed for a happy ending.

“Everything’s wearing off, there’s nothing new happening with us. Our chats are flat now,” Adam even admitted on Friday night’s episode.

But seeing as this is Love Island and we are Now To Love, we thought we’d focus on that special L-word.
