Well so much for the Irish Love Island contestants having each other's backs.

Here are your day 16 spoilers:
Arabella arrives
While the Islanders sleep, new girl Arabella makes her entrance.
Curtis heads to the kitchen for his morning coffee and is shocked when he spots the new arrival chilling by the pool.
One by one the Islanders head outside to greet Arabella.
Amy reflects in the Beach Hut, “We woke up to Curtis telling us there was a new girl in the villa. Obviously, he was lying, there is a supermodel in the villa.”
Also in the Beach Hut Anna says, “She is such a gorgeous girl. She’s so tall. What you see on the runway. I was still in my PJs half asleep!”
Anton meets Arabella for the first time and is determined to play it cool and impress her.
In the Beach Hut he says, “I wanted it to look like I had just woken up. I put a bit of aftershave on and ran outside and I was chilled. I think it worked!”
The girls give Arabella a tour of the villa.
She heads upstairs and meets Lucie for the first time.
Lucie says, “I recognise you! You’re my ex’s ex. I’ve stalked you [on social media] before!”
But it’s not just the boys that are blown away by Arabella.
In the Beach Hut, Maura says “Banging body. Great hair. More competition for Maura!”
The girls want to know who Arabella has got her eye on but it looks like she is keeping her cards close to her chest. Arabella says
“There isn’t one boy in here that I would say is unattractive.”
Arabella reflects on her arrival in to the villa.
In the Beach Hut, she says “I feel like they’ve warmed to me really well. Obviously, I’m going to have to tread on toes."
"I want to find love. That’s the goal.”
Arabella & Danny
Arabella gets a text: 'Arabella. Today you will be going on two dates. Please now choose your first date and ask him out. #girlpower #doubletrouble #playthefield'
Arabella turns to Danny and asks,“Danny, would you like to go on a date?”
Danny says, “Yeah. Let’s do it.”
Arabella and Danny arrive at their date and Danny says, “You strike me as a confident girl.”
Arabella says,“I’m confident in certain situations but I’m also quite shy.”
Danny asks, “What is your usual type?”
Arabella replies, “I feel like all my exes are different. It’s more about a connection.”
Danny says, “I feel like me and you are quite similar.”
Danny reveals that he is 21 and Arabella who is 28 says, “I would normally say 23 is my cut off point but I feel like you’re quite mature.”
Danny asks, “Are you going to make an exception?"
"One of the things I was looking for when I came in was definitely someone older.”
Conversation soon shifts to Yewande.
Danny says, “I feel like I’m putting a lot of the effort in and I’m not getting anything back and I’m starting to question whether we’re compatible."
"When you said you wanted to take me on a date, I was really excited.”
Arabella & Anton
Back at the villa Anton gets a text: 'Anton. Arabella has picked you for a date. Please get ready to leave the villa.'
In the Beach Hut, he says “It’s my time! I’m ready to go again.”
Anton heads out of the villa and arrives at his date with Arabella.
Arabella says, "I’m going to be honest, you’re a lot better looking in real life. You’ve got a great tan.”
Anton says, “It’s nice to go on a date with such a beautiful girl.”
Arabella and Anton talk about their childhood.
Anton says, “When I was at school, believe it or not, I was slightly overweight. I wouldn’t take my top off when I went swimming."
"Now, you can’t get me to keep my top on!”
The end for Yewande & Danny?
While Danny is on his date, Yewande seeks advice from Michael on the day beds.
Michael says “It’s been twelve days and he’s just been grafting really hard.”
Michael adds “He’s been putting a lot of effort in and he feels like he is getting nothing back. He feels like he is taking one step forward and two steps back.”
After Danny returns from the date, Yewande is trying to play it cool.
Speaking with Amber, Anna and Amy she says, “If he goes on this date and he gets on with her then that’s absolutely fine."
"I’ve emotionally prepared myself for that to happen because in my head I already knew it was going to happen. I have zero trust in men!”
Danny immediately has a debrief with the boys about his date and Yewande is disappointed that he hasn’t approached her first.
In the Beach Hut she says, “It’s just rude. If I went on a date and came back, I would say something. Obviously, he didn’t feel like that was very important.”
Speaking with the boys Danny says, “I need to figure out if me and Yewande are that compatible. I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t a really good date."
“Even if she didn’t come in, me and Yewande still needed to talk.”
Speaking to Yewande that evening Amber says, “That girl [Arabella] is going to take your man if you don’t buck your ideas up!”
Maura shows interest in Danny
Speaking with Molly-Mae and Lucie on the terrace Maura says, “It’ll be interesting to see what happens with Yewande and Danny."
"He is a really nice guy. I have such a laugh with Danny. He has got good craic.”
“When I went on a date with him, I felt nothing. But he just wants a bit of affection. He’s getting nothing. We may as well crack on.”
Maura later reflects in the Beach Hut she says, “Danny has definitely grown on me. It’s probably a surprise to everyone."
"It’s not really a surprise to me because that is how I connect with someone, when I get know them.”
Snog, Marry, Avoid
The girls gather around the fire pit for a game of ‘Snog Marry Avoid’ based on the boys in the villa.
Maura says, “I would snog Danny, marry Curtis and avoid Anton. But only because of the leg-shaving thing!”
Anna says, “Avoid Anton. Marry Curtis, obviously he is my bro now but personality-wise he is perfect husband material. I would snog Jordan after yesterday’s snog!”
Arabella says,“I would snog Danny, I would marry Curtis and join the queue! I would avoid Tommy. I feel like I couldn’t trust him.”
Molly-Mae seems taken aback by Arabella’s admission.
She says, “Because of the turning head thing?” referring to Tommy previously being torn between Molly-Mae and Maura.
Arabella answer, “Yeah.”
Molly-Mae is left irritated by Arabella’s comment.
In the Beach Hut, she says, “It was a little bit of a dig. It’s suggesting that I shouldn’t trust him.”
Love Island returns to Virgin Media Two tonight from 9pm.
