An innocent game of 'Never Have I Ever' saw this year's Love Island contestants reveal some major home truths about their romantic histories.
The classic party challenge aired on Monday night's (22 Jun) episode, and saw the group take turns to reveal the naughty antics they have and haven't done by either taking a sip of their drink or abstaining.
During one round, the group were asked whether they had any famous exes or had dated anyone the public might know. Several islanders were quick to raise their Prosecco flutes, confirming they had.
One of the first to speak out was Jasmine Muller, who claimed she'd previously dated a Premier League player, but wanted to remain 'very private about' that relationship, which she added ended five years ago.

Prior to entering the villa, the 27-year-old confirmed she'd been in a relationship with Spanish La Liga footballer Hector Bellerin, having dated the sportsman during the early stages of his career, while he played in the UK for Arsenal.
Prior to entering the villa, she told viewers in a video introduction: "I have a lot of time for him. There's not really any drama or anything interesting to say about it because we both just have a lot of love for each other.
"It was a healthy and lovely relationship, and I suppose it did prepare me a little for high-profile things."
Jasmine wasn't the only 2026 contestant with a footballer on her dating CV.
Priya Jaswas also confirmed she'd dated a player, but admitted she wasn't sure if he played in the Premiere League.
"He played in Shanghai," she replied when quizzed by her co-stars. "He was from Manchester."
Fans quickly put 2 and 2 together, realising that Priya was most likely referencing 32-year-old Tyias Browning, who follows her Instagram.
He currently plays as a defender for Chinese Super League club Shanghai Port, but wasn't born in Manchester, as she'd said. He actually hails from down the road, in Liverpool.
It wasn't just the girls who boasted big-name beaus, however, as Sean Fitzgerald made clear.
During the game, he revealed he'd once dated a singer, likely RTÉ 2FM radio host and singer Helen Galgey, and shared an Instagram statement on the matter when the latest series kicked off.
"Solidarity with all my sisters finding out their ex is on Love Island today," Helen wrote on Instagram, later adding, "I think Fitzy is so good, like the first episode I was like, ‘Do something, do something’, but now I think he’s actually playing it smart.
"He’s lovely looking, and he doesn’t need to be doing all that, which I’m kind of glad. So it’s kind of cool that he’s just being chilled and laid back and, like, letting them come to him, so he’s a full match."
During the game, Mica Harris also revealed she'd gotten cosy with a couple of 'NFL players', as well as a handful of footballers, before quickly shutting up.
Fans have since questioned whether Mica might have been referencing Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham's little brother Jobe when discussing the latter category, given that he previously liked one of her Insta snaps.
Like Mica, Angelista Gunda claimed she'd also been linked to several Premier League and Championship football players in the past, but opted not to go into detail.
