‘Good on you!’ Love Island viewers heap praise on Jake for staying loyal to Liberty in Casa Amor as other boys’ heads are turned by new bombshells
- Latest Love Island news and updates from the Series 7 contestants right here
Twelve new bombshells have entered the Love Island villa as Casa Amor week kicks off in style.
And while water engineer Jake Cornish, 24, encouraged the boys to ditch their partners for the new arrivals, he has so far stayed faithful to Nando’s waitress Liberty Poole, who he’s been coupled up with since the beginning of the show and recently made things official with – asking her to be his girlfriend.
And with six striking new girls and six handsome new men doing their best to turn the Islanders’ heads, Jake’s devotion to Liberty, 21, didn’t go unnoticed on Monday, with viewers taking to Twitter to declare: ‘Good on Jake!’

Jake resisted temptation on the first day of Casa Amor and despite admitting some new girls fit ‘his type’, he told the new islanders that he’s made things official with Liberty and refrained from joining in with the saucy game with the new bombshells.
Rushing to praise Jake’s actions, one person tweeted: ‘So Jake is the only guy who didn’t participate in the game! Jake good on you!’
Another echoed: ‘Yes Jake! I’ve got a girlfriend! Correct answer,’ with a third penning: ‘Just caught up on love island and I’m fuminggggg, this is why girls find it hard to trust guys! But good on Jake for not being involved.’
A fourth person blasted the boys as ‘rats’ – with the exception of Jake. ‘The fellas in #LoveIsland – with exception of Jake – are just rats really,’ they wrote on social media.

A fifth Twitter user gushed: ‘Very happy with Jake right now. Very Very happy. I hope he doesn’t switch up.’
‘I’m very impressed Jake. I’m rooting for him,’ another person added, while a seventh tweeted: ‘Soooo disappointed with some of the boys! Good on Jake for being a good lad.’
Impressed by the tattooed water engineer, one person said on Twitter: ‘I’m actually quite impressed Jake didn’t participate in these nonsense!’
Others thought Jake was owed an apology after viewers doubted he would remain loyal.
‘The main thing tonight guys….is Jake stayed loyal and made every last one of you f**king haters eat yo damn words!’ one fumed as another reiterated: ‘I think you all owe Jake an apology.’
High praise: Jake’s devotion to Liberty didn’t go unnoticed on Monday, with viewers taking to Twitter to declare: ‘Good on Jake!’
While Jake didn’t stray, the same couldn’t be said for other Islanders during Monday’s episode.
Liam Reardon’s head was quickly turned by ‘sexy’ newbie Lillie Haynes who gave him a lap dance, as well as Clarisse Juliette and Salma Naran who he had a three-way kiss with.
‘Lillie, she’s sexy,’ Liam said to the boys after kissing the blonde beauty during a cheeky game of truth or dare.
The bricklayer laid it on thick with the new girls, also planting a three-way kiss on Clarisse and Salma in a further dare.
Liam is coupled up with Millie Court.

Tyler Cruickshank and Teddy Soares also joined in on the fun despite being coupled up at home.
Tyler kissed international DJ Kaila and performer Amy, and even enjoyed some foot-play, even though he had Kaz waiting for him at the main villa.
‘I’m a game player, so I’m not going to shy away from it,’ he reasoned.
Teddy, who is currently coupled up with fiery character Faye Winter, felt ‘guilty’ for sharing a kiss with Mary.
‘I did feel a bit guilty. I’m going to be honest I was thinking about my main girl at home Faye.’

He then joked: ‘But I know she’d want me to get involved in some way.’
In a more predictable turn of events, the episode also saw Toby Aromolaran playing the field with the new girls at Casa Amor.
The footballer went shirtless as newcomer Lillie kissed his chest after he dropped Chloe Burrows for Abi Rawlings just days prior.
