LOVE Island always promises a rollercoaster of drama each season, but it also always delivers some steamy highlights.
One of the hotspots for some of the show’s steamiest moments and where the Islanders love to sneak away for some sneaky snogging, is the villa’s infamous terrace.

From Ekin-Su’s dramatic crawl, to some steamy first kiss, the terrace has played host to some of the most dramatic moments on the ITV2 reality dating show.
Joey’s Secret

Last year, TOWIE star Joey Essex shocked viewers and co-stars alike when he revealed a secret about another couple in the villa.
During the Couples Goals challenge will play out Joey whispered to the group: “I know something no one knows here.”
The Essex lad was referring to the fact Mimii headed to the terrace for a secret rendezvous with Ayo Odukoya, asking Joey to send the footballer up there.
At the time, she clambered on the floor of the iconic kissing spot so as to avoid being detected
Ekin’s crawl

In one of Love Island’s most iconic moment, the now infamous clip of Ekin-Su crawling to meet Jay on the terrace has gone down in the show’s history.
During the series viewers were gutted when it seemed Ekin’s head turned for a new arrival, beefcake, Jay Younger, despite her burgeoning romance with Davide.
But the pivot led to hilarious scenes when Ekin crawled on all fours to meet Jay secretly on the terrace.
When Davide found out, he fired off a now-iconic one-liner: “You are a liar and an actress!”
While Ekin’s deceit proved to be the couple’s demise, it cemented them separately as fan favourites and they proved unable to stay away from each other, going on to win the 2022 series.

Toni’s wannabe Ekin moment
Love Island fans were completely obsessed as Toni recreated that iconic Ekin-Su moment earlier this month.
She crawled across the terrace to speak to Harrison after the dramatic movie night twist on Friday’s episode.
Both Toni Laites and Harrison Solomon chose to recouple when they came back from Casa Amor.
After the infamous ITV2 movie night twist, Toni admitted that she felt “exposed” when a clip played where she admitted to still liking Harrison.
Later on Love Island, the footballer asked Toni to meet him on the terrace.
He secretly snuck up to the balcony as he first crouched down behind the barrier to avoid being seen.
When Toni arrived, she also crouched down and was seen to have crawled to her former couple partner.
Together, the duo sat on the floor as Harrison lavished her with compliments.
Joey’s second shocker

As if one huge scene-stealing moment was not enough for Joey, he also shared a racy moment on the villa’s terrace.
As his relationship with Grace hit the rocks, the reality TV veteran shared a kiss with Jessy after she chose to ‘steal’ him not long after arriving on the show.
They tried to hide from the other Islanders as they locked lips.
Yasmin’s secret snog
In the current Love Island series, raven-haired hottie Yasmin was whisked away to the Hideaway Terrace by a coupled-up Harry while all the Islanders watch on in shock.
He confessed to enjoying kissing her and she insisted that they snog again.
Islanders back in the garden speculate about what’s going on, with Tommy trying to peek over by doing a handy pull-up in the gym.
