Samraj was seen comforting Priya in the kitchen as he insisted his chat with Mica didn’t mean they were ‘getting back together’Samraj told Mica that she was his number one and his feeling for her ‘haven’t gone away’
He told Mica, 21, a few episodes ago that business development manager Priya was “giving him the ick,” and she was his first choice.
But, he hasn’t let Priya privy to that information as he continued to act as if they’re relationship is flourishing.
During last night’s instalment of the famous ITV2 dating show, Samraj left fans taken aback by his “unfair” treatment of Priya, 25.
After returning from a chat on the terrace with Mica, Priya asked him if they were getting back together – which he denied.

Priya hugged him saying: “I actually quite missed you, I wanted to speak to you…
“I feel like you hate me today.”
Samraj replied: “No, I don’t hate you. My mind is just in a really weird place, I swear.”
“You’re head,” Priya questioned.
He continued: “Not about us it’s just about like I think Sam going was just like the icing on the thing but I really do appreciate you being so concerned about me.”
Priya then tried to get Samraj to open up on his cheeky terrace rendezvous.
However he quickly shut it down, saying: “No we were just speaking because we were downstairs we got, not by you, but interrupted twice before and I was upstairs and Mica was like ‘Oh lets finish our conversation.’”
Poor Priya explained she was asking because things change so quickly in the villa and it was clear she didn’t want to waste her time if the feelings weren’t reciprocated.
Love Island fans were left fuming as Samraj lied to face her face repeatedly and strung her along.
One fan wrote: “Samraj is the reason why I don’t trust men #LoveIsland”
“Samraj, tell Priya you don’t like her This is not fair at all,” added a second fan.
Another viewer penned: “Samraj, why you lying?”
Meanwhile, a fourth fan said: “Why is Samraj lying like this HAAAAAA men can lie I’m so scared????”
Later on Samraj carried on his ruse, telling Priya he fancies her more and “wouldn’t be sharing a bed with her otherwise.”
But, during the previous episode fans watched on as Samraj told Mica he hasn’t said anything because Priya “will be mad.”
Speaking to the camera in the beach hut, Samraj confessed: “I can’t knock Priya because she’s given me everything I wanted and asked for. I feel like if I sit here and say ‘Everything is going swimmingly, it’s amazing… I’d be lying.’
“I don’t want to spend loads of time with her.”
Love Island continues tonight at 9:00pm on ITV2 and ITVX.

And that’s exactly what insiders say three-times divorcee Katie is planning to do next.
While Katie is going through hell, a source has insisted that, ultimately, the business savvy star won’t let this ruin her and is used to “turning pain into power”.
And the dramatic scandal is already attracting big money offers, with an insider saying that Katie may reveal all in another autobiography.

A source told us: “With Kate, people underestimate her because they see the chaos before her comeback.
“That’s always been the story with her.
“She’s been through bankruptcy, public humiliation, heartbreak and things that would completely destroy most people – in fact, some close friends wonder how she’s still standing after everything she’s been through in her life but somehow she finds a way to rebuild her life and come back bigger and better every single time.
“Right now, everyone is genuinely worried about her.
“She’s extremely vulnerable, she wears her heart on her sleeve, and this whole shocking situation with Lee disappearing has shaken her badly.
“It really upset her too that people said she was in on it all.
“But Katie has this strange ability to survive things people think she won’t. She’s like a cat with nine million lives.”
As our source points out, while the TV star feels embarrassed that Lee has made a fool of her, she won’t be herself be a punchline.
“Katie is mortified that some people think this is one big joke and some cruel trolls are laughing at her for being so trusting, but she’ll dust herself off. At the end of the day, Katie may wish this had never happened but she knows that the only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about at all.
“Her life has been laid bare for the world to see for the best part of three decades and she has no desires to let her popularity die anytime soon. And one thing is for sure, she certainly won’t let her brand be damaged by another man.
The source continued: “The thing about Kate is she’s never been ashamed of her mess.
“Most people try to hide their scandals but she somehow turns hers into opportunity.
“It sounds ruthless when you say it out loud, but she’s incredibly smart when it comes to understanding how the media works and how to manage public attention.
“She knows people are fascinated by her life and so she puts it all out there warts and all, nothing is off limits.”
With the huge interest in her latest marriage growing by the day and Lee’s whereabouts still a mystery, it’s fully expected that publishers and streaming channels will want her to dish the dirt on what’s really gone on.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if six months from now she’s announcing a new bestselling book, a brand new Netflix , another series of her upcoming Sky documentary, or maybe even a new reality TV series back on ITV where she started out,” our source said.
“That’s what Katie does. Everything that looks a disaster or like the end for her somehow becomes the beginning of a brilliant new chapter.
“She’s had people mock her for years, saying she’s finished, saying she’s hit rock bottom, but she always seems to have the last laugh.
“Somehow, even disaster turns into profit for her.
“It’s almost unbelievable. Nobody else does this.”
Katie has had her fair share of ups and downs in her life and her romantic life has always been at the centre of that.
Each of her marriages have ended in heartbreak, with the star taking swipes at her various exes on social media over the years.
But despite her love life going up on flames on multiple occasions, she’s always managed to find a way to “reinvent herself” a source said.
The insider told us: “Katie’s biggest strength is that she refuses to stay down.
“She can cry one minute and be planning her comeback the next. That resilience is what keeps her going and it’s probably why the public can’t stop rooting for her.”
Over the years, Katie has faced criticism – whether it’s for her driving, her love for cosmetic surgery, her dramatic weight loss or her parenting.
But she has managed to use the backlash to monetise.
Katie’s cashed in on various avenues – from her podcast, to her live show with pal Kerry Katona, to her Channel 4 documentary about her Mucky Mansion and now even her OnlyFans.
And the star has shared her story along the way, writing a whopping eight autobiographies between 2004 to 2024.
Her latest was titled This Is Me and spilled the beans on her exes, her PTSD and her past trauma.
It’s clear that Katie’s not just a one-trick pony.
And it’s no different this time around, regardless of whether Lee is in the picture or not.
“There’s definitely a feeling among her friends that, as awful as this situation is, Katie will eventually find a way to turn pain into power again,” our source said.
“She’s done it her entire life.
“Every scandal, every crisis, every setback, she finds a way to monetise it, reinvent herself, and move forward.
“She is the ultimate brand with true longevity and star power.
“People see the headlines and think she’s fragile, but there’s another side to Katie. She’s incredibly determined. She’s a survivor.
“She’s always believed that if life gives her drama, she might as well make something out of it. Love her or hate her, Katie understands celebrity culture better than most people.
“She knows how to keep herself relevant. Even in the darkest moments, she’s already thinking three steps ahead.
“I think what shocks people is that she never really loses, even when it looks like she has lost everything.
“Somehow, she turns every catastrophe into another opportunity.
“Lee might think he’s won but by the end of it, she’s the only winner.”
She told her YouTube subscribers in a video that the police could not find any record of him being detained and she’d been in contact with the British embassy in Dubai to help track him down.
The former glamour model said: “We are now wondering, as far-fetched as it is, that he’s a missing person now, I don’t know if he’s been kidnapped.
“No one can find him in any prison, any police station, the police can’t find any record of him.
“We are wondering if he’s been kidnapped, he’s definitely a missing person now.
“The unsettling thing for me, the last time I heard from him, he FaceTime me, he had a hood on and said ‘I’ve just been captured or arrested’ and had ties around his hand, not handcuffs, and said ‘they’re coming back for me’. Then his phone went dead at 10.03pm.”
Katie shared her final text messages with Lee, where he told her he loved her and he will “sort it”.
There is ongoing speculation that Lee is unable to leave the United Arab Emirates city after allegedly forging his ex-girlfriend Dina Taji’s signature to secure a £200,000 loan – something he’s strongly denied.
