And you thought Boris had it bad! Thursday’s episode sees Casa Amor finally reunite with the Main Villa – with the most dramatic recoupling ever taking place in front of the firepit

After asking all the new girls are asked to stand up while the Villa boys sit around the firepit, Laura announces: ‘As you all know, tonight there will be a recoupling. Boys – each of you have a big decision to make. 

‘So I’m gonna ask you one by one if you want to stick with your partner who has been away in Casa Amor for the past few days, or whether you want to recouple with one of these gorgeous girls standing in front of you. 

‘Now remember, the girls in Casa Amor have also been given the choice of whether to stick with you or couple up with someone new. So boys, it’s time to make your decisions and let’s find out what the girls have decided to do…’

Tension: After asking all the new girls are asked to stand up while the Villa boys sit around the firepit, Laura announces, ‘as you all know, tonight there will be a recoupling’

Jay kicks off the proceedings as he reveals whether he’d like to stay in his current couple with Danica Taylor or whether he’d like to re-couple with one of the new girls.

One by one the boys then reveal their all-important decision, and it is uncovered whether their partner in Casa Amor has chosen to stick or twist.  

The dramatic recoupling comes after another set of shocking twists in Wednesday’s episode as the Islanders loyalties were put to the test.  

Jacques O’Neill made the decision to end things with Mollie Salmon, but went full force with Cheyanne Kerr, leading them to sharing a kiss on the balcony and getting frisky in the swimming pool.

Passing on the bad news: With Laura Whitmore at the reins, the Islanders are set to discover if their partners have decided to stick or twist

But his current partner Paige Thorne remained positive, and after hearing about the recoupling said: ‘I am one of those people that is a glass half full, I am actually really excited to go back just so I can see Jacques again.’

Meanwhile, Dami Hope said his head was ‘scrambled’ after he grew closer with Summer Botwe, despite being coupled up with Indiyah Pollack.

Mulling over his big decision to stick or twist, Dami admitted: ‘My head’s fried, scrambled, whatever way you like your eggs. That’s the way my head is right now. I’m scared.’

What will he do? Jacques O’Neill made the decision to end things with Mollie Salmon, but went full force with Cheyanne Kerr, so will he couple up with her? 

Could it be: Davide Sanclimenti shared a few kisses in bed with Mollie, but admitted that he was still thinking about his connection with Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu

And Indiyah herself was having doubts after growing a connection with Deji Adeniyi, but admitted she does still have a connection with Dami before saying that if she did take Deji back to the villa, then she would still want to get to know Dami too.

‘Obviously I have a connection with Dami, there’s not nothing there. But in the real world, I’m used to dating. It doesn’t invalidate my feelings for anything,’ she explains.

‘Hypothetically speaking, if you were to come back to the villa with me I would have to have those conversations still with Dami.’

Davide Sanclimenti shared a few kisses in bed with Mollie, but admitted that he was still thinking about his connection with Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu.

Decisions: Indiyah Polack and Dami Hope’s romance could be set to hit the rocks as Indiyah tells Deji Adeniyi she is torn between him and Dami 

Jay – who has been romancing Chyna Mills – gave Davide some advice about his situation.

He advised: ‘Right now it’s quite obvious I think you still have a connection with Ekin, and you don’t just wanna throw that to the side out of spite, it’s not right man.’

Davide then confessed: ‘I make myself many problems…Let’s see today how it goes.’

In the beach hut he added: ‘I think about her often and our connection’.

Heating up: Her revelation comes after Dami took new girl Summer Botwe (both pictured) to the terrace for a private smooch as his head appeared to be turning earlier in the week

While Ekin-Su shared a hot moment with George Tasker in bed, leaving viewers confused over what had gone down.

Pulling him for a chat, Ekin-Su said: ‘It is something that happened in the heat of the moment, obviously you were sharing a bed with me. I just thought this has to stop because it wasn’t right.’

‘I didn’t even kiss the guy, we were just cuddling and it got a bit heated,’ she later confirmed to the beach hut.

And Andrew – who has been sharing a bed and more than a few kisses with Coco Lodge – broke down as he thought about Tasha Ghouri.

Chatting: Jay – who has been romancing Chyna Mills – gave Davide Sanclimenti advice about his situation and his feelings for Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu

Discussing the betrayal he felt from Tasha he says: ‘I literally opened up to her’, while Jacques muses: ‘You don’t need to be afraid to show emotion and be upset though, do you know what I mean?”

‘I know we’re supposed to be tough and that but sometimes it’s just good to get it out.’

When speaking about opening up to Tasha during their time together, Andrew says he feels he was ‘with someone and not being enough.’

‘I’m just not enough for the girl that I wanted,’ Andrew says to Jaques.

Emotional times: Andrew – who has been sharing a bed and more than a few kisses with Coco Lodge – broke down as he thought about Tasha Ghouri

‘Tasha was what I wanted, I felt like we were building something but I was just there because I was easy for her,’ he adds in the beach hut.

Meanwhile, Tasha confessed to being nervous about the recoupling, after forming a connection with Billy Brown, saying: ‘Ok things are getting real now…’

She tells the girls about sharing a kiss with Billy, before admitting to him: ‘I genuinely think if you were in from the start, it might have been different.’ 

Love Island continues at 9pm on ITV2 and ITV Hub. Episodes are available the following morning on BritBox.

Shaughna Phillips reaction when Callum Jones re-entered the villa with bombshell Molly Smith on his arm has become one of the most infamous Love Island moments of all time.

Speaking as she made her decision before knowing the outcome of Callum’s choice, Shaughna said: ‘I’m nervous. I’m preparing for the worst, but hoping for the best. I don’t have much faith.

‘The past few days have definitely been an eye opener. They’ve definitely made me realise that I probably moan at him way too much and I just miss having him around. So I do want him back, preferably on his own.

‘He had his loyalty tested with Eve, he had his loyalty tested a little bit with Rebecca, my luck’s been good up until here, so I’m hoping that it’s still there.’ 

But it was not to be as the scaffolder sheepishly returned and joined host Laura Whitmore at the fire pit with another girl.

New couple: When asked how she felt about Callum recoupling with Molly (both pictured), Shaughna then delivered her now-iconic line: ‘Congrats hun’

This left the original female Islanders aghast, with Paige the most furious, stating ‘What the f**k?’ loudly.

‘I went to Casa Amor, I had the chance to speak to Molly and it brought out a side to me I didn’t think I had. The way I felt about her after two, three days just clarified it to be honest,’ Callum said upon his reentry. 

When asked how she felt about the recoupling, Shaughna then delivered her now-iconic line: ‘Congrats hun.’ 

MILLIE LEFT IN TEARS AFTER LILLIE EXPOSED HER FLING WITH LIAM IN SHOCK RECOUPLING TWIST

Millie Court was over the moon when Liam Reardon returned from Casa Amor alone to recouple with her, but her mood was quickly changed when his secret fling was revealed.

Revelation: New girl Lillie Haynes, 22, appeared at the fire pit and explained she’d shared kisses outside of challenges and a bed with the hunk during the ‘lads holiday’

Asked how she was feeling about not being picked by host Laura Whitmore, a very unimpressed Lillie said: ‘I felt like we had a good connection in there.

‘I feel like it was very reciprocated, very 50/50 and it’s really surprising now. The actions were pretty equal, we shared a bed and kissed outside of the challenges.’

The OG girls all looked confused at the revelations, with them unable to hide their shock when Lillie announced that the boy she had the connection was with Liam.

Millie quickly slammed her partner, saying: ‘F**k off, are you joking? Kissing outside a challenge? That’s f*****g disgusting.’

In a desperate attempt to salvage the situation Liam tried to explain himself and even attempted to blame Lillie saying she’d ‘closed herself off from the other boys’. 

Disloyal: Millie quickly slammed her partner, saying: ‘F**k off, are you joking? Kissing outside a challenge? That’s f*****g disgusting’

Once the recoupling was called to an end – and Laura made her exit from the villa – the girls retreated to the swing for a chat.

Millie told them that she felt ‘mugged off’ especially after gushing over Liam just moments before his disloyalty was revealed. 

She said: ‘I sat there so happy and then it just switched… the happiest I’d been in days to crying. Knew I shouldn’t have trusted him. He’s fake. 

‘He obviously didn’t think what we had was good enough.’

In a real emotional rollercoaster, Millie had just moments before revealed that she’d been cheated on before by an ex partner on a lads holiday. The couple later reunited and went on to win the series.

During the recoupling, the original villa boys were seen looking confused – particularly Jake Cornish who was seen frowning – as Faye implied that Teddy had been unfaithful.

Speaking about her decision, Faye said: ‘Things change in here very quickly, so people’s true colours come out, and pictures say a thousand words.

‘As we all know, I was taking my time to let my guard down, and the night before he left, I let it down and then he was gone.

Upon returning to the villa, Teddy admitted he was ‘disappointed’ in Faye’s decision, but had followed his ‘heart’ in coming back to the main villa alone.

As they cleared things up in a later chat, Faye burst into tears as she told Teddy how difficult it had been for her to trust him knowing that he’d kissed someone else.

She had revealed that the villa had received a postcard, showing him kiss another girl, which had sparked her decision to get to know Sam.

Telling Teddy that she had just ‘let her guard down’ with him, Teddy told her: ‘You’re not the only one not who let their guard down’ before pulling her in for a hug. The pair later reunited and went on to make the final.
