A LOVE Island couple are left on the rocks tonight as one star is stolen away for a sexy trip to the Hideaway.
The Sun can exclusively reveal how the OG Love Island partnership is thrown into chaos – adding to the bad blood following the coupling up ceremony.
Ronnie Vint, 27 – who was branded a “t**t” by partner Jess White, 25, last night – promptly pulls Harriett Blackmore, 24, for a chat in the Hideaway Retreat.
Teaser scenes show how Jess looks on and says to Patsy Field, 29: “He’s taken her to the Hideaway.”
The pair go to the love shack – whose rules have been re-vamped this year – for a one on one chat.
Footballer Ronnie sits on the swing seat alongside the dancer and says: “The challenge was a bit mad wasn’t it, I thought I’d just take you out and see what’s what.”
Harriett, who looks stunning in a red ruffle dress, says: “I feel like it’s progressed in the right direction but obviously you’re still in a couple with Jess.”
Former shop manager Jess speculates with Patsy back in the villa and appears to be fearing the worst.
She says: “I tell you what though, if he does kiss her.”
Meanwhile, back in the Hideaway – which this year only accepts stars who are not in a couple – Ronnie and Harriett continue their conversation.
He tells her: “Obviously I’m coupled up with Jess but she knows that I want to get to know you and you want to get to know me and you fancy me a little bit.”
Harriet, who has had a rocky ride on the show during the opening week, assures Ronnie: “You know I fancy you, I’ve fancied you since the beginning.”
Will Ronnie and Harriett share another kiss after their first snog in the challenge?
BAD VIBES
Jess and Ronnie had appeared one of the more stable couples in the villa following the first few days.
They were partnered up in the initial challenge, yet during this weekend’s coupling up ceremony the sport star’s poor choice of words irked the brunette.
Taking aim at her man last night, Jess told Ronnie: “Poor choice of words, Ron.

“I don’t think you said one nice thing about me. You don’t need to go about it that way.”
Ronnie replied: “I’m not great with words. I want to apologise.”
Yet he promptly went to strike up a conversation with the dancer and told Harriett, who is paired with sweet shop owner Sean: “Everything I said was honest – it just came out wrong.
“I do think there is something there from when we’ve spoke. I do want to see what’s happening with that.”
Seeming to forecast tonight’s Hideaway stint he added: “Hopefully we get a little date or something, away from everyone.”
Jess promptly told the girls: “Jess says to the girls: “He’s a cheeky t**t.”
SECRET SPAT
She then appeared to hint at a secret feud with Harriett in a chat on spin-off show Aftersun.
Jess pulled no punches when she promptly declared Harriett as lacking “class”.
She told host Maya Jama: “Yeah, no, we’re fine. Look, we just have different things. I wouldn’t encourage my friends to behave that way.
“I think you can remain classy. Remain classy and not behave that way, but everyone’s different, I suppose.
“But I stand by my opinion.”
