It's a first in Love Island history

The Grafties

Usually at this point in Love Island it can all get a little, well, boring.

We've had the chaos of Casa Amor and the drama of Movie Night, the heart rate challenge has been and gone and the brutal dumpings from the day at the beach club were, as expected, brutal.

But it turns out neither the Islanders nor the producers are giving up just yet as not only are some couples still not 'closed-off' - ahem, Whitney Adebayo and Lochan Nowacki - but some aren't even sure they like each other, Abi Moores and Scott van-der-Sluis need to just 'dead it' at this point.

Get your popcorn ready, The Grafties is coming

As for the people behind the cameras, they have only gone and created ANOTHER reason for the Love Island 2023 contestants to have a row and fall out, they do know how to treat us, don't they?

We present to you The Grafties.

If you're thinking, "What in the name of Ella Thomas's outstanding style is The Grafties?" Then look no further as we have all the deets on the upcoming Love Island awards which are sure to create rifts and reveal secrets our Islanders were hoping would stay buried.

Mitch is up for a few nominations

The official Love Island instagram posted on their Story last week letting fans knowing they could vote in 'The Grafties.'

An awards ceremony, if you will, with SIX categories and three nominations in each.

This is the first year the contestants on the dating show will be subject to such an event and honestly we can smell the controversy already.

The categories are as follows:

Flirtiest Performance

Nominees are: Abi Moores, Scott van-der-Sluis and Ella Barnes

It’s Giving Plot Twist

Nominees are Jess Harding, Mitchel Taylor and Zach Noble

Most Snakey Sitch

Nominees are Abi Moores, Jess Harding and Lochan Nowacki

WTF? Moment

Nominees are Molly Marsh, Sammy Root and Jess Harding

Best Head to Head

Nominees are Whitney Adebayo, Ella Thomas and Mitch Taylor

Mad Moves

Nominees are Zach Noble, Tyrique Hyde and Mitch Taylor

From Jess talking about her boyfriend Sammy being a bad luck charm to Mitch and his questionable behaviour, there are some iconic moments up for nomination.

Seeing as this is a first for the romance reality show we're honestly not sure what to expect, all we know is that we are nearly as excited as Mitch when Zach calls him 'broski'.

As always, Love Island airs at 9pm on ITV2 and be sure to set record and grab the popcorn as this is an event nobody will want to miss.
