Bombshell Sammi, a 23-year-old former Miss New Zealand, entered the Love Island Australia villa on episode 7, Nine reports, and by the end of the night three couples were in trouble.

## Nat and Jack

Sammi kissed each blindfolded boy, then took Jack on a date. They came back hand in hand, and Jack joked they had coupled up. "I'm not mad that Jack went on the date… I'm mad that when he saw me it was like I was f--king nobody," Nat said.

## Layla and Jordan

Amanda and Jordan kissed in the villa photobooth. Jordan called it a little kiss; the printed photos disagreed. "He just said he had a little chat and a little kiss, not that it was passionate, not that it was spicy…" Layla said, and put him on villa probation.

## Shawnee and Lachie

Lachie said he wanted to explore a connection with Ava, which left Shawnee in tears.

Sammi has been in the villa one night. Nat, Layla and Shawnee would all like to know how long she plans to stay.
