Filippo Bisciglia's on‑air reference to ex‑partner Pamela Camassa sparks talk as Temptation Island hits record viewers
The third episode of the 2026 season of Temptation Island aired on 8 July 2026 on Canale 5. The broadcast achieved a 32.3 % audience share, delivering more than four million viewers and setting a record for the summer reality series. Social‑media interaction during the three‑hour show was unusually high, with viewers commenting on the confrontations and outcomes of several couples.
During the episode’s “falò” confrontation between contestants Sara Palumbieri and Gabriele Govoni, host Filippo Bisciglia referenced his own former long‑term relationship with show‑girl Pamela Camassa. After Sara answered “seven years,” Bisciglia replied, “There are people who have made it 18,” alluding to his 17‑18‑year partnership with Camassa, which ended in 2025. Camassa has since been linked publicly to entrepreneur Stefano Russo.
The episode also generated online speculation about other participants, notably the sixth couple Iris De Lorenzis and Andrea Petraroli, whose fate was discussed in “segnalazioni” circulating on Twitter, Telegram groups and entertainment forums ahead of the broadcast.
