Love Island’s best ever heart rate challenge performances – from sexiest to most cringey
LOVE Island’s steamiest challenge returns tonight with first look images promising one of the raciest versions yet.
The heart rate challenge is back, with the Islanders tasked with performing sexy stripteases for one another to see who’s hot for who.
A sneak peek at tonight’s show revealed baby oil galore, lots of exposed flesh and very saucy outfits as the contestants get hot and heavy.
But as we get ready to watch Davide transform into Zorro, Tasha becoming Barbie and Paige giving Pamela Anderson as she grinds on Dami, let’s look back at some of the best and most cringe heart race challenges of seasons past.
AMBER GILL – 2019
We all love Amber now for her hilarious Love Island takes on Twitter, but during her season the beauty was too sexy for her own good.
She had the last laugh after her sexy lap dance when it set ex Michael Griffith’s pulse racing more than his new girl Joanna Chimonides.
Joanna awkwardly raised her hand to her face, while Jordan Hames did his best to reassure Michael, telling him: “It’s happened to the best of us, bro.”

MEGAN BARTON HANSON – 2018
The glamour model’s got so swept up in her sexy dance she later said, “I don’t know what come over me!”
Dressed in a revealing Moulin Rouge outfit set plenty of pulses racing – and it wasn’t just the boys.
Former contestant Olivia Atwood admitted feeling turned on herself while watching at home.
Taking to Twitter to comment on it, she wrote: “Right not having them results. Megan even turned me on a bit then.”

JAKE CORNISH – 2021
The water engineer left girlfriend Liberty and viewers gobsmacked with his very sexy dance routine.
Jake stormed out in a cape, oversized fake beard and a horned helmet – serving the Islanders sexy viking.
Even though the girls and viewers at home were left scratching their heads about what his costume was, Jake was inspired by his own performance.
After his performance, Jake admitted: “If the Dreamboys [strip dancing troupe] are watching, get on my phone now. Get me there today, that’s what I thrive off!”
MAURA HIGGINS – 2019
There’s no debate that Maura Higgins is a bonafide hottie, but she took things up to another level as sexy cat woman during her season.
The Irish beauty marched out in a leather cat outfit complete with a fishnet bodysuit, cutout leather pieces leaving very little to the imagination.
And of course, matching kitten ears in her hair.
Seeing her opportunity, Maura cranked up the heat storming over to Curtis Pritchard who couldn’t resist her moves and the pair shared their first kiss.
CURTIS PRITCHARD – 2019
Speaking of the pro-dancer, Curtis immediately became a viral internet meme when he emerged in a feather headdress and pink hot pants.
Some fans compared him to King Julian from the animated film Madagascar as he gave us one of the most unforgettable heart race challenge dances ever.
MIKE BOATENG – 2020
The former police officer gave us one of the most hilarious heart race challenges when he pulled out all the stops to impress the girls.
Sporting a black hot pants pulled right up his bum with a tuxedo bow and matching cuffs, Mike got up to all kinds of antics in during his dance.
He licked their legs and grinded very closely on the girls leaving everyone in hysterics.
“I had pure bum crack in my eye,” shrieked one of the girls after Mike’s show.
JORDAN HAMES – 2019
Sexy Jordan – who since Love Island has had a chic fashionista makeover – oiled himself up, donned a bow tie and collar to play a naughty butler.
MARY BEDFORD – 2021
Strolling out in an ill-fitting Little Mermaid costume, Mary certainly did her best with bizarre costume choice given to her by producers.
While the rest of the girls slipped into raunchy get-ups, Mary was left with a baffling fancy outfit that left her looking just like Ariel in The Little Mermaid.
The frizzy red wig and skirt of green scales raised eyebrows online.

She captioned her latest photo: “How it should of been done
