Keanu pranked the Love Island Australia villa during a challenge on Tuesday's episode, and the joke landed on the one Islander he was getting close to, news.com.au reports.

## What was the dare?

Keanu said he had been dared to kiss two girls who were not Ava. He chose Shawnee and Layla for a three-way kiss. Then the reveal: "Plot twist, the real dare was to tell your best joke."

## Why did Ava walk off?

"I just felt really embarrassed, and then when everyone was laughing I just felt stupid," she said. Keanu, news.com.au says, told her she was taking the game too seriously.

## Was he the only one?

No. Nine's own recap says Zel invented a strip-tease dare in the same challenge.

Keanu got his laugh. Whether he keeps Ava is another question.
