We've seen some amazing challenges from Love Island so far, but everyone is looking forward to the baby challenge.
Love Island 2019 is fully underway and has provided us with a whole load of drama, but as the series is pushing on people have been wondering when the baby challenge will air – and tonight we'll finally get to the islanders attempt parenthood.

On tonight’s episode (24th July) the islanders will awake to the sound of seven screaming babies, which they must name and look after in their couples as part of a challenge.
Anna is naturally less than thrilled about the task, following her explosive row with boyfriend Jordan Hames after he told India Reynolds he liked her one day after making the pharmacist his girlfriend.
In the beach hut she says: “I don’t want a baby with him. I don’t know whose baby that is, because it’s not mine. He probably doesn’t even know whose baby it is himself.”
Jordan will be seen caring for his baby alone as the other islanders come together in their couples to name their first child.
India and Ovie named their tot Raymond Junior, while Curtis and Maura named theirs Bella and Molly-Mae and Tommy called theirs TJ (Tommy Junior).
Chris and Harley named their daughter Penny-Sue Tinkerbell, while Anton and Belle chose Valentino for their child and Amber and Greg picked Kobe.
Previous series' have seen Olivia Attwood and Chris Hughes become parents to their son, Cash Hughes, who became something of a national treasure back in 2017, and couples cracking under the strain of being throwing into the deep end.
Together, they have to feed, wash, dress and comfort their screaming babies and it often proved too much for some of the islanders, such as Megan Barton Hanson and Josh Denzel in last year's series and revealing cracks in some relationships.

The baby challenge is usually one of the very last task put to the islanders, when most of the couples have been established, to see how they would work as a family down the line, and naturally, it makes for amazing TV when their fake babies can't stop crying.
People are also looking out for the lie detector challenge, which usually brings some of the most intense fallouts of the series, when seemingly solid couples crumble under the pressure of being asked tricky questions.
The challenge usually comes close to the end of the series, however, rumours were floating about that the show's bosses had scrapped it due to fears of contestants' mental health following the death of a Jeremy Kyle guest after failing the test.
After Tommy Fury and Molly-Mae Hague quickly fell for each other, with Tommy even sleeping with her soft toy, Ellie-Belly, we predict that they're going to thrive during the challenge, and Maura and Curtis may crack under the pressure of being a relatively new couple with a baby... so watch this space!
