'Love Island's Tyrique Hyde has shared a kiss with Jess Harding.

The semi-professional footballer previously suggested that he wasn't seeking anything romantic with Jess - but during the latest episode of the show, he kissed her on the lips as part of a challenge.

Tyrique kissed Jess after being asked to lock lips with someone who he "wanted a fun time" with.

However, he also kissed Ella Thomas on the cheek after being asked who he "wanted for a long time".

Tyrique and Jess' kiss came shortly after the sportsman hinted that he wanted to pursue a romance with Ella.

He previously told Jess that he wanted to get to know some of the other Islanders more closely before he made any kind of commitment.

He said: "It's going well but I'm not closed off, I've said that from the jump to everyone."

Meanwhile, before entering the villa, Jess revealed that every guy is "giving [her] the ick at the moment".

The 22-year-old beauty also revealed that she was hopeful of finding her dream man on the show.

She said: "I feel like it’s fate because I’m saving myself for Mr Right in the villa!"

Asked what she tries to avoid in a guy, Jess shared: "When a guy stunts for money, that’s an ick. Showing off all their designer clothes because most of the time they’re probably fake anyway! Another one is when a boy runs for the train and the train goes without him. Lunch Boxes also - just go to Tesco and get a meal deal!"
