Love Island first look with major shake-up as four new bombshells rock the villa
ITV producers shocked viewers with a surprise recoupling on last night's Love Island - here's your first look at the fall out from the unexpected twist.
Last night's episode of Love Island saw a game of spin the bottle cause even more tension in the villa, as the Islanders found themselves switching partners, left, right and centre as they faced a series of truths and dares.
The true highlight of the game came when Megan and Conor admitted they had unfinished business, catching their current partners Tommy and Emily off guard and leaving the rest of the villa stunned by the revelation.
The show ended with a dramatic cliffhanger, as a text came in revealing there would be a recoupling - this time with the girls holding the power. However, there are an even amount of girls and boys in the villa, which has cause many viewers to speculate what brutal twist ITV have in store for the Islanders.
While we wait for the fall out from the recoupling, here is your sneak peek into tonight's episode of Love Island...
The show begins as the girls give their recouping speeches, some decisions coming easily while some of the girls are left re-evaluating their connections. While a few couples remain solid, other seem ready to explore new connections.
Following the recoupling, Conor and Emily head to the sundeck for a chat about where they stand. Conor admits: "I'm still confused as to what you want to do because you came to me and said you want to take a step back."
Emily responds: 'I just wanna know where your head is at, I feel like your words say one thing and actions say another, you are my priority…I just want some reassurance.'
Conor is still weighing out his options, as he tells her: "I'm still figuring out where my head is at I'm getting to know two people."
Meanwhile, Helena is keen to tell Harry how she really feels, saying: "I know we said yesterday we'd be friends but I can't be your mate in here, you've not even apologised for anything that you've done…I can't make sense of the situation…"
After apologising, Harry tells her: "I thought it was too good, I've done it in the past where I self-sabotage…I'm 30 years old I get it, I'm not making excuses…'
Helena admits: 'It's done now, you can't go back on it…I can't really be around you right now'.
Dejon then comforts Harry at the fire pit, revealing he hopes Harry and Helena can make it work, saying: "I'm gonna pray tonight and hope there's a miracle you two can get back together'.
Harry gets emotional, before telling him: "There ain't no me and Helena…I've got to forget about it for now'.
Is it time for Harry to focus on Shakira?
The next day Megan adds another layer to the dynamic, interrupting Emily and Conor to pull him for a private chat on the sundeck.
"Right, I need to ask how the f**k is things with Em, what the f**k is going on there?" she bluntly asks.
Conor replies: "Obviously I'm buzzing that you're saying I would be someone you couple up with if you weren't in a couple now…Emily would be number one but as we speak a bit more, you're getting closer to the top."
Megan doesn't hold back, revealing: "I do think you're more sexual than Tommy…you're very vocal about what you wanted…the fact you came and pulled me in front of Emily, that was ballsy."
When Megan presses Conor on who he'd choose in a recoupling, his answer catches her off guard.
Meanwhile, Emily and Tommy are having their own conversation. She opens up, saying: if he [Conor] wants me to like someone else so he can grab me back…that doesn't work for me , if you push me away I'm gone."
Tommy is honest in return, telling her: "On boys night, when you walked in that feeling I got, physical attraction, I got that from you…"
Emily agrees, saying: "100%, I'm open to having more chats and seeing if there could be something there…"
Tommy later debriefs with Dejon and Harry. Dejon tells him: "He [Conor] should of had a conversation with you to let you know he wants to pursue things with Megan."
Tommy admits: "Megan's my number one by quite a lot."
Dejon encourages him, saying: "I feel like you owe it to yourself, cause of where you are to explore other options…if i had a daughter I would be buzzing if she was with someone like you."
With Conor and Megan's chats continuing, looks like Tommy and Emily are exploring their own connection…
Elsewhere, Harrison and Shakira chat on the daybeds, as she presses if his head is with Toni or Helena, saying: "My only concern is if you don't like Toni, I don't want you to lead her down the garden path, but I actually think you two get along."
Harrison admits: "The thing with me, I'm so indecisive, I'll come away from a chat thinking Helena was the best chat…I have a chat with someone else and I'll be like ok she was the best chat."
Shakira challenges him: "So what are you actually looking for?"
Just as the drama couldn't get more intense, a shock text hits the villa. One Islander receives the news that a car is waiting outside - and four islanders must leave the Villa immediately.
Unbeknown to the group, at a second villa four new bombshells - Caprice, Giorgio, Poppy and Will - have chosen their top Islanders and are stealing them away for the evening.
Which Islanders are heading out and how will the villa react to the surprise twist?

Paige Turley suffers 'wardrobe malfunction' at Pride of Scotland Awards
The ex Love Islander suffered a wardrobe mishap just before taking to the red carpet at the Daily Record's Pride of Scotland Awards tonight, June 23. Former Love Island star Paige Turley was victim to a serious wardrobe malfunction at tonight's Pride of Scotland Awards in Glasgow. The Daily Record's award ceremony champions the nation's unsung heroes, and is often referred to as our 'People's Oscars'. Scots TV personality and singer Paige Turley was broadcasting all the gossip from the red carpet (wardrobe malfunctions and all) alongside Stevie Jukes tonight. The annual awards ceremony was then hosted by Elaine C Smith and Sanjeev Kohli, and included an exclusive list of award-winners including Sir Chris Hoy. This is Paige's fourth year as red carpet host and she said ahead of the event that she was looking forward to teaming up with Stevie to spill all the insider info. The 27-year-old, who co-hosted last year with Love Island's Laura Anderson, said: 'I'm excited about hosting with Stevie as he is a really lovely guy and hopefully we will compliment each other. 'I'm all about the style and fashion and he can talk to folk about other things. Our job is to put everyone at their ease because the red carpet can be a daunting place, especially for the winners." The TV star also spoke to the Daily Record on the red carpet tonight ahead of her hosting duties, in a gorgeous floor-length strapless black dress decorated with rhinestones. But when asked to do a twirl for the cameras, Paige revealed that a slight mishap with her outfit prevented her from turning around. She said while laughing: "I actually can't [do a twirl], because there's a slight wardrobe malfunction." The star then explained the perfect comedic timing of her dress ripping before the awards. Paige continued: "So as I'm getting into the taxi on the way to the awards, my boyfriend Kieran kindly noticed that I had a slit on my backside." The star has been loved up with her boyfriend Kieran Tumilowicz, a scaffolder from her hometown in West Lothian, since last June. She continued: "Somebody is running up the carpet right this minute with a needle and thread to try and sew me back into this dress. "So I would love to give you a whirl but I can't." Paige has attended Scotland 's People's Oscars several times before, and explained that it's the kids' awards that she loves to see the most. She continued: "Do you know what, I love the kids' winners, they melt my heart. "It's such an honour to be here again and I think everyone is well-deserving, but the kids are the ones that catch my heart especially." Other celebs attending the ceremony tonight include Laura Anderson, Al Murray and Susan Boyle. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

He's hilarious, witty, charming and funny. And he's not bad looking. "So the boy I would like to couple up with is… Harry." Taking to X, formerly Twitter, fans went wild after spotting the move. One joked, "Not Helena moving away from harry," with a laughing emoji, while someone else said: "Helena moving away from Harry is just so…. #LoveIsland." A third chimed in with: "Shakira picked harry wow the face on helena." While a fourth pointed out: "how's helena upset that harry's moved on when she said they're done?" Harry, 30, was previously seen sobbing as he appeared to backtrack on his behaviour towards Helena. The ITV2 star caused shockwaves in the villa last week when he split with his day one partner - before he attempted to pursue a third different romantic connection in the compound just hours later.

Confident Yasmin initiated the smooch after Harry admitted he enjoyed their initial kiss in a villa challenge. She told him bluntly: "I'm waiting for you to shut up and kiss me." Harry duly obliged and went all in. He grabbed Yasmin by the throat and bit her lip as they gave in to desire. Yasmin was just as handsy, leaving her mark on Harry by scratching his neck. But despite their snog, neither Harry nor Yasmin admitted to it when they returned from the Hideaway. That was until their actions were exposed in a brutal firepit game on Thursday night. Helena was left in shock as Yasmin revealed they'd kissed not once, but three times. And while Harry smirked, the stunning air hostess was backed by co-star Megan. 'You're a liar,' Megan shouted across the firepit to Harry, adding: 'You owe it to Helena to be f****** honest, you p****. 'She's sat there watching you go into the Hideaway, you kissed her three times and then come out and go 'Oh no, I didn't do anything.'' Megan finished by telling Harry: 'Grow a pair of b******* mate, honestly, grow the f*** up.' Yet Helena has also come under fire from matchmaking show fans who insist they have discovered her "game plan". 7 In scenes aired on last night's Aftersun, Harry appeared to have huge regret on calling time on his connection with Helena Credit: X / @LoveIsland
