Dominic Lever and Jessica Shears have sex as Love Island finally gets X-rated… after getting her into bed with a POEM
LOVE Island hunk Dominic Lever was seen luring glamour model Jessica Shears into bed on last night’s episode — after writing her a romantic poem.
Shocked fans saw the 26-year-old careers adviser romping under the covers with Jessica, 23, just eight days after they met on the hit telly dating series.
He won her over with his verse, which included the lines: “Time goes on and there’s people I miss, And this girl’s taking liberties making me wait for a kiss, So here’s a toast to a very good sesh, And not to mention that birthday girl Jess.”
Jessica, from Devon, admitted: “I literally adore Dom. Did you hear that poem?
“If that doesn’t make any girls’ knickers drop, I don’t know what does.”
Their romp came just days after Jessica swore she’d never have sex on national television.

She told Manchester-born Dom: “You’re not getting me naked ever. My knickers will remain firmly on. True story.”
But she relented after the poem and their antics were screened at 9.55pm on ITV2.
It is the first time contestants have been seen having sex on the new series of the reality programme, where singletons link up to compete for a £50,000 cash prize.
The last series was criticised by TV watchdogs for sensationalising sex towards young viewers after contestants were seen cheering on fellow housemates during love-making.
A WAY-HEY WITH VERSE
By ELIZABETH DAY, Novelist and literary critic
THERE’S nothing more powerful than romantic poetry when trying to woo your intended.
Dom shows an impressive ability to make syllables scan and has a nice grasp of rhythm.
The line calling his love object “a nightmare” loses pace, but coupling “villa” and “killer” and “sesh” and “Jess” shows an easy way with language.
“What a melt” shows a canny grasp of colloquialism right up there with the great beat poets.
