Love Island spoilers follow.

Love Island tonight aired some emotional reunions as the islanders’ families and friends arrived at the villa to reconnect with their loved ones.

First up was Zachariah Noble — whose mum Kirstie and sister Snoochie arrived. Meanwhile, Molly Marsh's parents Janet and David turned up at the same time. The two groups shared emotional greetings as both Molly and Zach shed tears.

The families then separated and had time to debrief with each other. Janet and David admitted that they were hurt and annoyed when Zach kissed Kady as part of a challenge, with David saying that Zach laughing afterward was “disrespectful”.

"Let’s talk about all this lipsing. How many people do you need to snog?" joked Zach mum’s Kirstie before telling her son how proud of him she was.

The six then convened but, before they could all get to one another, David said to Zach: “Can we just have a quick chat, me and you?”

David explained that he was concerned at Zach's handling of the challenge as he ended up hurting Molly, while Zach promised that he knew he handled it wrong and felt guilty abut the situation.

"If I put something to you, though. If you went out in a club, you’re a young and attractive lad. You’re going to get any girl you want. It puts doubt in my mind," David said. "Are you at that stage where you think you don’t want to?"

Zach reassured David that he has found the one girl he wants, which David seemed satisfied with. Zach also said that he wants to be on good terms with David and Janet. The men then returned to the rest of the family and all seemed well. David even told Zach that he had a “boy crush” on him.

It was a sweet moment and Zach said in the beach hut that he is looking forward to seeing them again. Then, right at the end of the episode, Zach and Molly shared a tender moment of their own.

The couple had a private moment on the terrace where Molly gave Zach a present — a bracelet she bought him at the airport. She explained that she bought it for him as a sign of reassurance.

Zach reciprocated the feelings and said he isn't doubting anything at all and that he believes their relationship is the start of something special.

"You're special. I can't wait," Molly said before they shared a kiss.
