When it comes to scandalous, steamy, and flat-out jaw-dropping moments, no show delivers quite like Love Island. Whether it’s UK or USA, summer or winter, villa or Casa Amor — one thing’s for sure: The Islanders aren’t exactly shy when it comes to showing affection. And we’re not just talking about snogs and cuddles. Over the years, cameras have captured much more than just pillow talk (thanks, night vision!), and fans have become experts in decoding what really happened under the duvet.

From leather collars to broken beds to three-way kisses (and toe-sucking we never asked for), here are the most NSFW Love Island moments of all time — ranked by shock factor, internet obsession, and sheer audacity. Expect a lot of Love Island: USA Season 7, as it’s turning out to be the filthiest one yet. Saddle up.

24. Siannise and Luke, Love Island UK Season 6

This one’s less blatant than others, but a classic case of the internet filling in the blanks. The romantic Hideaway scene had lap dances, peekaboo lingerie, and a feather boa—but what came after? Luke told the lads, “Everything came off,” while Siannise kept it cute and coy with her girls. Naturally, fans concluded they “did bits.” We believe it. Good on ya!

23. Will and Jessie, Love Island UK Season 9

Sweet, soft-boy Will? Not anymore. During their Hideaway night, Will crawled across the floor in a leather collar and chains, giving full BDSM tease. Jessie was living for it, and so were we. A reminder: This is the same man who casually claimed to have slept with 100 women. Smash. Just… smash.

22. Amy and Curtis, Love Island UK Season 5

This NSFW moment is alleged, but it caused international (read: UK-wide) debate. Amy and Curtis’ chemistry fizzled later, but one intimate night had fans screenshotting Amy’s so-called “sex face.” Amy denied it, saying, “I was laying in bed with a bloke I really fancied.” Still, viewers weren’t convinced—and we’re not either.

21. Shannon and Josh, Love Island USA Season 3

Straight to the point. Shannon and Josh didn’t bother hiding much during their Hideaway night. She opted to stay over the covers, and the night cam picked up enough movement and heavy breathing to confirm what we were all thinking.

20. Sydney and Isaiah, Love Island USA Season 4

The pair had a roller coaster romance throughout the show, with many tutting at Isaiah’s inability to keep his interest focused on gorgeous Sydney. PDA? They invented it. Sydney and Isaiah’s under-the-duvet scenes left little to the imagination. Their Hideaway night confirmed what fans already suspected: These two were one of the raciest couples of the season.

19. Cara and Nathan, Love Island UK Season 2

Season winners Cara and Nathan didn’t just win the show—they basically turned it into their own private honeymoon. The couple, now married with two kids, reportedly had sex 23 times in the villa. The show only lasts a month, and honestly? That’s more action than most of us have seen all year—cough five years.

That said, they didn’t jump into bed straight away. Despite coupling up on day one, Cara made Nathan wait “well over a week” for a kiss. She later admitted that getting intimate on camera was “daunting” at first—but clearly, they got over it.

Alex and Olivia of 'Love Island UK'

ITV2

18. Alex and Olivia, Love Island UK Season 2

Now married with a baby boy, Alex and Olivia are one of Love Island’s rare success stories, but their villa romance was pure lust from day one. The couple reportedly had sex a staggering 30 times during their time on the show… despite Alex not even being in the villa for 30 days. That’s practically Olympic-level commitment.

Fellow Islander Terry Walsh later spilled that the pair were such frequent fliers, producers had to keep restocking the condom stash. “They were the top sh*****s by far,” he said. “There were condoms everywhere.” Icons.

17. Zara and Alex, Love Island UK Season 2

Even though sparks were flying between Alex and Olivia from the jump, it was Zara Holland who got him first, thanks to a cheeky challenge win that landed her a night in the Hideaway with him. The pair shared a night of passion, and the fallout was immediate. Zara was stripped of her Miss Great Britain crown shortly after, making headlines across the UK. She later issued a warning to future contestants: “Don’t do anything that you would regret later in life.” Honestly? That might be the most brutal prize ever won on Love Island.

16. Hannah and Jon, Love Island UK Season 1

All the way back in 2015, Hannah Elizabeth and Jon Clark became the first couple in Love Island history to do the deed—and once they started, they didn’t hold back. After going official just two weeks in, they “christened” the Hideaway and then basically turned the villa into their personal honeymoon suite.

Forget subtlety. These two got busy in the bedroom while their horrified housemates tried (and failed) to sleep. Both their housemates and viewers will never forget the half-apology: “I can’t stop now, guys, you’ll just have to deal with it.” And despite getting engaged in the final, they didn’t last long on the outside. Still, they’ll always be remembered as the OGs of NSFW villa chaos.

15. Rosie and Adam, Love Island UK Season 4

Rosie entered the villa, claiming she would be celibate for the duration to protect her legal career. Instead, she and Adam became the first couple of the season to go beyond kissing. It was noticed by other housemates, including Laura, who later exclaimed, “I heard a creak on the bed. It was egging me on. I nearly went there myself.” Neither seemed to mind their decision, as the next day, Adam described himself as having a “spring” in his step after enjoying a “really, really good sleep.” Sure, babe.

14. Megan and Wes, Love Island UK Season 4

Now, we stan Megan in this household, as she does a lot for the sex work industry, bisexuality representation, and female pleasure. But wearing your ex’s jumper while getting frisky with your new guy? Brutal. Megan and Wes did the deed twice—once in said jumper—and even Iain Stirling couldn’t help but roast the speed of it.

13. Kem and Amber, Love Island UK Season 3

Afternoon delight, anyone? Kem and Amber decided the nightly routine just wasn’t cutting it, so they squeezed in a cheeky midday quickie—right in the bed Amber was sharing with Nathan. Classy.

“I feel f**king bad on Nathan,” Amber muttered, before immediately following it up with, “Just get on top of me.” Iconic behavior. Kem, ever the gentleman, warned her: “It’s gonna be very quick.” And lucky for them, it was—Nathan walked in not long after, just in time to see Amber toss her bikini bottoms to the side. Timing is everything.

12. Montana and Alex, Love Island UK Season 3

The producers had to bleep out a lot of audio after Montana and Alex got busy in bed. The moans were so loud that other Islanders couldn’t sleep. It was one of the more audibly graphic hookups that season. Georgia Harrison later told The Sun, “Alex and Montana have the noisiest sex.” Sam Gowland chimed in: “I need some tips. He goes for an hour!”

11. Camilla and Jamie, Love Island UK Season 3

We don’t know what was in the air in Season 3, but everyone seemed to be getting it on without hesitation—the golden age of reality television, one might say. Camilla had initially seemed quite reserved, but she eventually loosened up as the tan deepened. Her spooning sesh with Jamie was set to an acoustic version of “Sexual” by Neiked, which somehow made it romantic instead of filthy. But make no mistake, things were happening.

10. Huda and Jeremiah, Love Island USA Season 7

Something’s in the air in Season 7 as people are getting down and dirty just about anywhere. Confirmed under-the-covers sex in the communal bedroom. The next morning, Huda casually confirmed it over breakfast. This season has gotten so horned up that a production source claimed to The U.S. Sun, “This season is just wild. The sex has gotten out of control. It’s like that’s all some of them are thinking about.” Apparently, their attempts to responsibly chaperone are having little effect. Lol.

9. Cierra and Nic, Love Island USA Season 7

Cierra and Nic have been keeping it hot in the villa. “Did you hear me taking my journey?” Cierra asked fellow contestant Iris. “Well, the journey was much longer this time than the first time.” And by longer, she means 40 seconds instead of 30. Cierra teased even more about her encounter with Nic, adding, “And we stopped for food on the way. Hot dogs and hamburgers were ordered. We both had a full course meal. Once we finished eating, we ended at a waterfall. It was beautiful.”

Yeah, so in case you missed it, “journey” definitely means SEX. But hot dogs and hamburgers? A waterfall? We’ll let you puzzle that one out.

8. Andrew and Coco, Love Island UK Season 8

Who could forget TitGate? Never. No matter how hard we try. Andrew had been coupled up with Tasha, but once he hit Casa Amor, he set his sights on Coco. The pair shared a few steamy kisses, but the real shock came back in the main villa. Coco casually revealed to other Islanders that Andrew had “sucked [her] tits,” prompting Andrew to come clean to Tasha. He sat her down and said—no joke—“I licked her tit or whatever.” Shakespeare could never.

Coco later confirmed the moment in an interview, but denied anything more happened. Still, she added, “I wish I just went the full way because the amount of hate I got anyway, like, I might as well have, you know.”

7. Chloe and Toby, Love Island UK Season 7

Naughty, naughty Toby had quite the run on Love Island. Fans practically had to draw diagrams to keep up with his girl-hopping, but he eventually found his way back to Chloe. Rather than hiding under the duvet, the pair didn’t mind giving the cameras a bit of a show. Toby appeared to… cross the equator? Head downtown? Grab a bite? Call it what you will, but Chloe was clearly having a very good time. A week later, the two shared another steamy moment — one so intense, they literally broke the bed.

6. Hannah and Pepe, Love Island USA Season 7

Look, if you’re gonna shag on the show, at least enjoy it as much as Hannah did. Night-cam footage caught her and Pepe rustling under the sheets. A close-up then showed the pair spooning with their eyes closed, looking like a pair of very satisfied slumber party guests. Hannah hasn’t denied anything since leaving the villa. Instead, she explained she totally forgot about the cameras. It’s giving, “Can you take a candid of me pretending to laugh?”

5. Molly-Mae and Tommy, Love Island UK Season 5

One of the best seasons to date, and the birthplace of one of the franchise’s most iconic couples: Molly-Mae and Tommy. And yes, this golden couple got down and dirty under the covers at the end of one episode. Molly-Mae had previously reached under the duvet and whispered, “It’s f**king huge” (wink), so it wasn’t a surprise when things escalated. The act culminated with her exclaiming, “Jesus Christ,” and Tommy trying to stifle her moans by covering her mouth while moving behind her. Most iconic detail? Her beloved childhood toy, Ellie-Belly, was right there beside them the entire time. Talk about ruined innocence.

4. Amaya, Chelley, and Ace, Love Island USA Season 7

Yep, you read that right: three names. As in, a three-way kiss that took place during Season 7’s heart rate challenge. Amaya and Chelley kicked things off, and then Ace jumped in. In the same challenge, Nic sucked Olandria’s toes—something absolutely no one needed to see. The chaos of it all? Unmatched.

3. Malin and Terry, Love Island UK Season 2

This might just be the most audacious moment in Love Island UK history. Malin and Terry went at it under the covers—in a shared bedroom. Did we mention the lights were ON? Forget a steamy playlist; they got a soundtrack of their fellow Islanders cheering them on. Honestly, that memory probably lives rent-free in the minds of everyone who was in that room.

2. Huda and Ace, Love Island USA Season 7

The season that never stops giving and the heart rate challenge that never ends. Huda, dressed in a maid costume, went all in. She laid Ace on the floor, twerked on Chris, dry-humped him, and finished things off with a steamy makeout. Ace’s match, Chelley, was not pleased: “Huda took it too far. You’re supposed to be my friend.” Some fans speculate we didn’t even see the full extent of what went down. The contestants’ shocked reactions suggest something extra spicy was cut by producers.

1. Emma and Terry, Love Island UK Season 2

Arguably the most infamous Love Island moment of all time. Emma and Terry didn’t just get intimate—they did it with the duvet off. The logic? They figured if they didn’t use covers, ITV wouldn’t air it. Bold assumption… and wildly incorrect. The footage aired, viewers were shook, and other Islanders were left speechless. Unsurprisingly, the moment sparked major backlash and front-page headlines across the UK. The couple split soon after leaving the villa, but that scene? Immortal.

Will future seasons ever top these moments? If Love Island has taught us anything, it’s to never say never…especially when there’s a hideaway involved. Let us know your favorite NSFW moment on Love Island, or any that we missed—— or collectively decided to repress!
