But on Wednesday's instalment Ayo will shake things up as he decided to approach Mimii later on in the night, proposing her to have a chat in the den.
'For me personally, I can't sit here and say to you, all of my feelings are lostā¦You haven't changed, you're still Mimii,' he told her candidly.
Laughing knowingly, Mimii encouraged Ayo: 'Keep going.'
'I can't hide the way I feel about you so it's not easy for me to see you go around this Villa and see you chat to man, it will never be,' she said lifting the lid on her situation with Josh.
'What was that saying that you had?' he asked.
'What is meant for you will never pass you,' she quipped seriously as the pair shared a smitten glance.
Later on, Ayo is seen discussing his conversation with Mimii with Joey Essex, who asks says: 'The reason you are where you are now is because your feelings have stayed the same for Mimii. Do you still like her?,' to which he admits he does.
And the drama continues, as the next day Grace Jackson received a text revealing details of the day's saucy kissing challenge, which is bound to ruffle feathers in the villa.

Just when the Islanders thought they had seen enough drama for one week,Love Island bosses have reportedly staged a mass dumping from the villa.
Later that evening, Ayo received an unexpected text message asking the Islanders to gather round the Fire Pit immediately.
Grace then received a text, which reveals: 'Islanders, the public have been voting for their favourite girl and favourite boy, those with the fewest votes will be at risk of being dumped from the island tonight.
'As Josh and Reuben are the newest Islanders, they are not included in the vote.'
Just a day after a double departure sawWil Anderson andUma Jammeh exit the villa, sources claim that viewers should prepare to say goodbye to even more fan favourites in upcoming scenes.

The abode of love was nearly overflowing in recent days as 17 people are still in the running for the final, which is just weeks away.
Every single spare bed was taken and first-day couples such as Ciaran Davies and Nicole Samuel have had to make use of the day beds in the garden.
After Wil Anderson and Uma Jammeh's emotional departure on Tuesday, show executives swungthe axe and chopped a number of fan favourites from the running, according to the Sun.
A source told the publication: 'Logistically there are too many people in that villa right now, but in terms of the flow of the show the sheer amount of singles is a big no-no.
'The central premise of the show is to remain on Love Island, you have to be in a couple.
'Bosses staged a mega cull and it shook things up.'
With three weeks until the final, very few couples are still going strong as there are still seven singletons in the love nest.
Ciaran, 21, and Nicole, 24 are considered one of the only solid couples in the villa whilst Joey Essex, 33, and Jessy Potts, 25, have remained strong through Casa Amor.
Sean Stone and Matilda Draper, both 24, have had several weeks of happiness under their belt, but they were rocked by the relationship test when the sweet shop owner bit off more than he could chew in Casa Amor.
MailOnline has contacted Love Island representatives for a comment.
The huge axing comes just hours after Uma sent shockwaves through the villa when she dramatically quit the villa on Tuesday's episode.
She shocked her fellow islanders when she walked from the show after Wil was dumped in the recoupling.
Uma and Wil were coupled up and, after a rough period following Casa Amor, had patched things up.
But bombshell Reuben Collins chose to couple up with Uma which meant Wil was left single and dumped from the villa.

Uma immediately burst into tears and announced to the villa she would be leaving with him.
Speaking after her decision to quit the show, Uma said: 'I knew where my head and heart was at and it's with Wil so I wanted to be true to my feelings for him.'
The pair are looking ahead to growing their romance outside the villa, with Uma adding: 'We can't wait to just do normal things on the outside, stay inside and have a takeaway and go on cute dates.
'Wil wants to take me to Whitley Bay to see where he's from but we've also discussed him possibly moving to London so I'm looking forward to the future with him. The only way is up from here.'
Uma told how she felt an instant connection with Wil from the moment he entered the villa and found it tough being away from him during Casa Amor.
She said:'When Wil walked in I instantly felt a connection with him, he was all in for me which I really liked, and it was refreshing off the back of the Ayo situation.
'Once Wil took me to the other Villa for an overnight stay something clicked and I felt a special spark in that moment which made me realise he was the person for me.
'That's why I found Casa hard for me as it made me miss Wil more. I feel so comfortable and happy around him.
'Seeing him waiting for me after Casa was such a special feeling, I know we've had our challenges but it's made us stronger than ever. He's my blueberry.'
The islanders were all asked to sit by the firepit before it was revealed that new boys Reuben and Joshua Oyinsan would choose the girl they wanted to couple up with.
'The girl I've decided to steal is... Uma,' said Reuben.
With tears in her eyes, Uma turned to kiss Wil multiple times before going up to stand with Reuben.
Wil then received a text, which read: 'Wil you are now single and therefore have been dumped from the island. Please pack your bags and say your goodbyes.'

As the islanders around the firepit gasped, Uma burst into tears and straight away said: 'I'm going to leave, sorry.'
Speaking to the girls, Uma added: 'I'm leaving guys I'm not being funny, I'm going. I'm literally going guys, I'm not staying here without him.'
'If that's what you think is right then follow your heart,' Nicole said, as Uma replied: 'What the f*** am i doing here now, do you know what I mean? We just got back to a good place.'
Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
LOVE ISLAND 2024: MEET THE CONTESTANTS
NAME: Mimii Ngulube
AGE: 24
FROM:Portsmouth
OCCUPATION:Mental Health Nurse
WHY LOVE ISLAND?The pool in Portsmouth is not giving. I've tried dating and speaking to people on social media and it just hasn't been successful. Applying was a spontaneous thing, I didn't expect to get here!
WHAT WILL YOU BRING TO THE VILLA?My girls are my rocks and I'm theirs, so I'll be a good friend as well as going in there to find a man. I like dressing up, so I'll bring style, and I'd like to think I'm quite funny so I'll make people laugh. Bringing honesty as well - I'm good at picking up on people's personality traits and side-eyeing those who might be liars.
NAME: Sean Stone
AGE: 24
FROM:Hertford
OCCUPATION:Sweets Salesman
WHY LOVE ISLAND?I've always been one for relationships, and when you have found someone you want to be with it's the best feeling. Now is the perfect time, the one thing that is missing is my soulmate.
HOW WOULD FRIENDS/FAMILY DESCRIBE YOU?Very loving, caring and thoughtful. I'm the kind of guy that, if you broke down on the motorway and needed your tyre changed, I'd be there at any time of night.
NAME:Ayo Odukoya
AGE: 25
FROM:Canning Town
OCCUPATION:Model
WHAT WILL YOU BRING TO THE VILLA?I think I'd bring excitement and joy. I think people would have someone to come to and talk to and feel comfortable being around or to have a laugh with. I think I'm somebody everyone would take to.
WHY SHOULD SOMEBODY DATE YOU?I feel like the way I carry myself is very respectful and I think people take to that and once you show who you are to somebody you get it back tenfold. The way I am gives off a good enough energy for people to feel comfortable around me.
NAME: Nicole Samuel
AGE: 24
FROM:Aberdare, Wales
OCCUPATION:Accounts Manager
WHY ARE YOU SINGLE?I've been enjoying single life and the attention of different boys, it's fun. I've enjoyed being able to go on holiday with the girls and not having to worry about someone back home. All the girls are there texting in their room and I'm out till 4 in the morning living my best life.
WHAT IS SOMETHING NOT MANY PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT YOU?I became a world champion dancer in 2011, not many people know that. I was a professional street dancer.
NAME:Jess White
AGE: 25
FROM:Stockport
OCCUPATION:Retail Manager
WHY ARE YOU SINGLE? I don't underestimate the fact that I'm hard work. I know what I want, and I'm not easily pleased. When you're a loud, outgoing woman, sometimes it can intimidate men - men don't always want that.
WHAT'S YOUR TYPE ON PAPER?I love a set of white Turkey teeth but a good set of Turkey teeth. I would say, personality traits: you have to be family orientated. You have to be tall, you can't be shorter than me, I can't be having to question whether I can wear heels around you and what height of heels I can wear. If you're vertically challenged, it's not for me.
NAME: Ciaran Davies
AGE: 21
FROM:Pencoed, South Wales
OCCUPATION:Surveyor
WHAT'S YOUR TYPE ON PAPER?Obviously looks but humour is a big thing for me, I'm a bit of a wind up so I want a girl who can give it back. Loyalty is another one for me: I think that's the most important thing to look for in a relationship.
WHAT IS SOMETHING NOT MANY PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT YOU?When I was in Malia on a boys holiday I pretended to be Liam Reardon from series 7 to get into a club because they wouldn't let us in. It worked and we ended up getting a private booth and free drinks all night.
NAME: Joey Essex
AGE: 33

NAME: Grace Jackson
AGE: 25
FROM: Manchester
OCCUPATION: Model and social media marketing coordinator
WHY ARE YOU SINGLE?No guys have good communication and it's painful. I like someone who doesn't take themselves and life too seriously. My lifestyle can put guys off a little bit, I like to go out and go abroad a lot. They can't keep up with my lifestyle. It's the life that I want, and it helps with my business.
NAME: Matilda Draper
AGE: 24
FROM: Beckenham

AGE: 28

FROM: Leicester
OCCUPATION: Brand Partnerships Associate

Emma Milton
NAME:Emma Milton
AGE: 30
FROM: Manchester

WHO DO YOU HAVE YOUR EYE ON IN THE VILLA?I had a brief thing with Joey a few years ago. Weāve been friends for years and I would be open to reconnecting with Joey. We get on really well and we have a lot of mutual friends. I am also friends with Grace in Manchester, so itās a little bit awkward.
WHAT KIND OF ISLANDER ARE YOU GOING TO BE?I am ready to bring my fashion and looks into the Villa. Iām a really good communicator and always ready to give good advice to help someone.
