Love Island fans were in for a treat on Friday night as Josh Oyinsan and Mimii Ngulube headed out for their first date since becoming a couple.
Following the night's fallout, whilst relaxing in the Mallorcan morning sun, Josh received a text which read: 'Josh and Mimii, it's time for you to go on your first date as a couple, get ready to leave the Villa. #MarketMeetCute #MakingMemories.
As the two headed out of the Villa to peruse an authentic Spanish market on the island, they found a stall selling crochet teddy bears.
Picking one up Mimii said: 'I feel like it's only right for us to have our first ted, that will be our first born'.
As the two picked out their favourite, they decided to name him 'Jomii' a mix between their two names.

However fans could not hold back their disappointment at the 'drab' and 'low budget' 'walking date', which seemed a slight contrast to a previous one Matilda and Sean had been on where he got to drive a flashy sports car.
Taking to X they wrote: 'Nah what date is this? Everyone got a nice date but them?!?! #loveIsland'.
'They didn't even get them lunch! #LoveIsland'.
'What kind of s**t date is this. #loveisland'.
'This date is DRAB #LoveIsland'.
'why did sean and matilda get a porsche but josh and mimii have to go on a walk ????? #loveisland'.
'So Sean and Matilda get a luxury car while Josh and Mimii get sent to a market #loveIsland'.
'They took them to market to walk around and taste cheese and buy bear. #loveIsland did you people eat your budget??'
As the couple walked around the market and went shopping, they picked out their favourite teddy and decided to name him 'Jomii' a mix between their two names
During the romantic date Josh shared he is considering taking the next step in their Love Island journey

In a previous episode and for the first time in Love Island history, a flashy sport car was used to pick up Sean and Matilda from the villa for a date
'Sean's hire car must have been depleted the budget because a walking market date?? #loveisland'.
'Nah that date is some low budget s**t someone gets to drive his girl in a Porsche and you get to take a bus and walk in town is wild #LoveIsland'.
'Sean and Matilda got a Porsche for their date and mimi & josh got a market date #LoveIsland'.
Also in Friday night's episode Grace Jackson and Reuben Collins had a tense exchange.
The heated confrontation was sparked by Reuben suggesting Harry Baker isn't attracted to her during the couple's challenge.
As Reuben tried to lean in for a hug before she began speaking, Grace shrugged it off, telling him: 'I don't want a hug right now.'
She began by saying: 'I feel like I am actually quite p***ed off by your comment in the challenge today, I'll be real. It was a little bit like you were trying to embarrass me and Harry….. I feel like you should know better.'
Elsewhere on the show showed Grace Jackson and Reuben Collins had a tense exchange after Lola Deluca, 22, stole Reuben away on Thursday night
Grace told Reuben she was 'p***ed' off at him and felt embarrassed by his behaviour with Lola after she stole him despite flirting up a storm with Joey Essex
She added that she was shocked by seeing him with Lola Deluca, 22, after she stole him from her, and told Reuben: 'You were stood there with your arm around her stroking her waist, for me that's disrespectful'.
Love Island threw another curve ball and announced a final recoupling, just one day after Lolly Hart and Konnor Ewduzi were dumped from the villa on Thursday night.
Ayo Odukoya received a text which read: 'Can all Islanders gather round the Fire Pit immediately'
Once seated, the next text revealed: 'Islanders, tonight will be the final recoupling where the boys will choose which girl they want to couple up with'.
Love Island continues Sunday at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
LOVE ISLAND 2024: MEET THE CONTESTANTS
NAME: Mimii Ngulube
AGE: 24
FROM: Portsmouth
OCCUPATION: Mental Health Nurse
WHY LOVE ISLAND? The pool in Portsmouth is not giving. I've tried dating and speaking to people on social media and it just hasn't been successful. Applying was a spontaneous thing, I didn't expect to get here!
WHAT WILL YOU BRING TO THE VILLA? My girls are my rocks and I'm theirs, so I'll be a good friend as well as going in there to find a man. I like dressing up, so I'll bring style, and I'd like to think I'm quite funny so I'll make people laugh. Bringing honesty as well - I'm good at picking up on people's personality traits and side-eyeing those who might be liars.
NAME: Sean Stone
AGE: 24
FROM: Hertford
OCCUPATION: Sweets Salesman
WHY LOVE ISLAND? I've always been one for relationships, and when you have found someone you want to be with it's the best feeling. Now is the perfect time, the one thing that is missing is my soulmate.
HOW WOULD FRIENDS/FAMILY DESCRIBE YOU? Very loving, caring and thoughtful. I'm the kind of guy that, if you broke down on the motorway and needed your tyre changed, I'd be there at any time of night.
NAME: Ayo Odukoya
AGE: 25
FROM: Canning Town
OCCUPATION: Model
WHAT WILL YOU BRING TO THE VILLA? I think I'd bring excitement and joy. I think people would have someone to come to and talk to and feel comfortable being around or to have a laugh with. I think I'm somebody everyone would take to.
WHY SHOULD SOMEBODY DATE YOU? I feel like the way I carry myself is very respectful and I think people take to that and once you show who you are to somebody you get it back tenfold. The way I am gives off a good enough energy for people to feel comfortable around me.
NAME: Nicole Samuel
AGE: 24
FROM: Aberdare, Wales
OCCUPATION: Accounts Manager
WHY ARE YOU SINGLE? I've been enjoying single life and the attention of different boys, it's fun. I've enjoyed being able to go on holiday with the girls and not having to worry about someone back home. All the girls are there texting in their room and I'm out till 4 in the morning living my best life.
WHAT IS SOMETHING NOT MANY PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT YOU? I became a world champion dancer in 2011, not many people know that. I was a professional street dancer.
NAME: Ciaran Davies
AGE: 21
FROM: Pencoed, South Wales
OCCUPATION: Surveyor
WHAT'S YOUR TYPE ON PAPER? Obviously looks but humour is a big thing for me, I'm a bit of a wind up so I want a girl who can give it back. Loyalty is another one for me: I think that's the most important thing to look for in a relationship.
WHAT IS SOMETHING NOT MANY PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT YOU? When I was in Malia on a boys holiday I pretended to be Liam Reardon from series 7 to get into a club because they wouldn't let us in. It worked and we ended up getting a private booth and free drinks all night.
NAME: Joey Essex
AGE: 33
FROM: Chigwell, Essex
OCCUPATION: Reality star
CLAIM TO FAME? The Only Way Is Essex
FAMOUS EXES: Joey was in a relationship with fellow TOWIE star Sam Faiers from 2011 to 2014 with the pair getting engaged before they split. He has also been spotted locking lips with former Love Island stars Ellie Brown and Maura Higgins. He also dated his Dancing On Ice pro partner Vanessa Bauer.
NAME: Grace Jackson
AGE: 25
FROM: Manchester
OCCUPATION: Model and social media marketing coordinator
WHY ARE YOU SINGLE? No guys have good communication and it's painful. I like someone who doesn't take themselves and life too seriously. My lifestyle can put guys off a little bit, I like to go out and go abroad a lot. They can't keep up with my lifestyle. It's the life that I want, and it helps with my business.
NAME: Matilda Draper
AGE: 24
FROM: Beckenham
OCCUPATION: Recruitmant Consultant
WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'LL BRING? I want to bring sunshine to the Villa. I’m lighthearted and don’t take myself too seriously. If things get too serious in the Villa I’m going to throw in a little joke or a ‘would you rather’.
NAME: Jessy Potts
AGE: 25
FROM: Leicester
OCCUPATION: Brand Partnerships Associate
WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU WILL BRING TO THE VILLA? I’m fun, I like to get involved, so I’d like to think I will get stuck in as soon as I arrive. I also have a very sarcastic sense of humour, so I’ll make everyone laugh, but I’m a Sagittarius, so I also have a fiery side and I'm not afraid to say what I think or stand my ground. I’m not very good at taking 'no' for an answer.
Jessica Spencer
NAME: Jessica Spencer
AGE: 25

Reuben Collins

AGE: 22
FROM: Surrey
OCCUPATION: Content Creator
WHO DO YOU HAVE YOUR EYE ON IN THE VILLA? Sean, Reuben and Joey
WHAT KIND OF ISLANDER ARE YOU GOING TO BE? I’d say my personality [makes me a catch] first and foremost, I’d like to think that those traits are what the rest of the Islanders will be drawn to. I’m confident and outgoing so I'm looking forward to getting to know the boys.
