Chaos erupted when it was revealed that three more couples were at risk, and Shakira and Ty — voted most compatible — held the power to dump another duo.
Left dangling by a thread were Tommy and Lucy, Conor and Emma, and Lauren and Harrison.
Shakira chose to save Conor after he revealed he had feelings for her - and said she felt the same.
She told Ty: "Harrison's my best mate obviously, with Conor we've been exploring a connection.
"At the end of the day I'm not going to be in this position and not save the people I've got the best connections with."
When the result was revealed, Helena snapped: "It's not right."
But Shakira stood her ground, coolly responding:
'I did what I wanted to do,' before joking, 'I'm going back to public enemy number one.'
Meanwhile, Toni wasn't hiding her feelings after witnessing Lauren and Harrison kiss right in front of her.
'That's why I wanted them gone,' she fumed.
Harrison had tried to kiss Toni on the terrace days ago, but slept with Lauren in bed last night.
It comes after The Sun revealed a leaked voice note appearing to show Lucy's game plan to win Love Island by coupling up with Tommy.
The 37-second recording, which Love Island fans claimed was the voice of Lucy Quinn, laid bare a plot to couple with popular Tommy as a surefire way to make the final.
Tommy was previously coupled up with Irish beauty Megan Forte Clarke who was axed after her love triangle with Conor.
Her betrayal led her to be voted one of the three least popular girls by the public.
He was then in a couple with Welsh beauty Emily, but last week, Lucy walked into the main villa holding hands with smitten Tommy, who dumped Emily to be with her.
In the most dramatic moment of the recoupling, Emily was left shell-shocked having stayed loyal to Tommy and given a heartfelt speech in which she said she couldn't wait to see him.

Maya Jama is 'getting serious' with footballer boyfriend Ruben Dias as they 'plan next step in their romance'
Maya Jama and Ruben Dias are said to be taking the next step in their relationship as things are getting serious between the couple. The Love Island presenter, 30, and the Manchester City footballer, 28, have been dating for several months and have enjoyed numerous romantic holidays together. Now, it has been claimed that the couple are getting serious with Maya eyeing up splitting her time between London and Manchester to spend more time with Ruben. Ruben's commitment to Maya early on in their romance reportedly secured things for the couple and they are even said to be looking at moving in together. A source told The Sun: 'Ruben made sure from the start that his intentions with Maya were clear, he knows he's struck gold and wants to make sure Maya knows how seriously he feels about her. 'Being honest and open about what he wants from their future was the secret weapon in securing a future with Maya. 'Maya's work, home and friends are in London so she doesn't want to leave there entirely, but is considering going between there and Manchester.' Maya is currently busy splitting her time between Mallorca and London as she hosts live from the Love Island villa and presents spin-off chat show Aftersun. Daily Mail has contacted Ruben's representatives. Maya's representatives declined to comment. Amid her busy Love Island filming schedule, Maya and Ruben have still found to enjoy some sun-soaked trips and recently jetted off to Ibiza together. Maya shared an array of loved-up snaps of the pair of them as she documented their budding romance after going Instagram official in May. Every inch the supportive girlfriend, the TV host has been seen at multiple football games over the last few months to watch Ruben live in action for Man City. Footage of the pair last month showed them with their arms around each other before he leant into her neck for a peck. Ruben tried to fly under the radar and keep a low profile as he stepped out in casual clothes and a cap. A source told The Sun: 'Maya and Ruben seemed very close, very loved up and were clearly very comfortable with each other. 'They were chatting to others around them but gravitated back to each other. They seem very happy with each other.' It was the first time they were seen in public since they were thought to have started dating - though Maya had hinted at the romance by sharing snaps of flowers she was sent. They were first linked in November of last year, four months after Maya and Stormzy had announced their split. The exes confirmed the break-up was 'final' after previously going their separate ways following a five-year relationship in 2019, before reconnecting in August 2023. They shared in a statement after their second split: 'We fell madly in love in 2014, broke up in 2019, and then spent five years manoeuvring life apart. 'We decided to try for the final time in August 2023, and we've spent this past year trying our best to make it work. However, we recently decided to call it quits.'

LOVE Island is going to see a major plot twist as Harry turns his back on pal Dejon. 4 4 4 Harry was seen flirting up a storm with a number of the Islanders including new flame, Shakira, despite being with Helena at the time. Dejon washed his hands of Harry following the Grafties, leading to Harry's mum and pal questioning their friendship during the Meet The Family segment last night. Tonight, Harry reflects on how his best mate, also named Harry, pointed out that none of his villa pals, "in particular D [Dejon]" were there for him after the Grafties. "I don't know if it made me question things or not," Harry told Shakira. She replied saying: "I think D doesn't really like to go against the grain and make himself look bad in any light. It can't be [only] when it's convenient for him to be friends with you." As they are speaking, the Islanders received a text telling them they are about to play the Couple Goals game. In the segment, the couples are asked which of the other Islanders they would go on a weekend away with and other similar questions. Harry and Shakira are asked, "which couple do you trust the most?" and choose Cach and Toni. Harry explained: "D, you're my best pal but I think as a whole, I do trust you Tone, I've been there for you, I think you've been there for me."

ITV Love Island's Harry confronted by Helena's parents in tonight's episode
Harry Cooksley is confronted by ex Helena Ford's parents ahead of tonight's tense show, as things heat up in the latest challenge in the villa. Love Island continues on Tuesday night, July 29, after friends and family arrived in the villa. Fans have eagerly been waiting the moment Harry is confronted by Helena's mum and dad, following their shock split. Harry and Helena had become 'exclusive' in recent episodes. However, in a bombshell that rocked the villa, Harry admitted he seen Helena more as a friend, and wanted to get back with his former flame Shakira. Helena's mum Jasmine and dad Phil enter the villa in tonight's episode followed by Blu's mum Jeni and dad Reza. Helena becomes emotional as she is reunited with her parents. Referencing her relationship with Harry, Helena's dad Phil asks her, 'Is it the real deal what's being going on?' Helena replies, 'From my end, it was so genuine and so real.' Helena 's mum Jasmine comforts her and says, 'Helena, you're a winner.' 'He's not the prize," Helena responds. Meanwhile, Blu's mum Jeni and dad Reza reflect on his experience since returning to the villa. Reza jokes, 'You got rejected twice.' Jeni replies, 'You got pied!' Harry soon approaches Helena and her parents. Helena's dad Phil says, 'Ah the man himself.' Harry says, 'I just wanted to come and say to you both in person - I apologise for a lot of my behaviour towards your daughter.' How will Helena's parents react to Harry? Reuniting with their families, Angel's mum says to her, 'I'm so glad you swerved Harry.' Speaking about her being coupled up with Ty, Angel's mum asks: 'Is it too early to invite him for Sunday dinner?' Meanwhile, speaking about Angel to Ty, Ty's mum says, 'She's stunning!' Conor's cousins Cian and Dara arrive at the Villa, alongside Megan's mum Alison and aunty Gillian. Dara says to Conor, 'Your mum was asking for you. She's been watching every single episode.' Conor replies, 'Has she? She told me she wasn't watching so I've been acting like she wasn't watching!' Both families soon come together and Megan's mum Alison says, 'You come all the way to Love Island and meet someone Irish.' Conor's cousin jokes, ' 20 minutes over the road you could've went!' Megan's mum says, 'I'm happy. You look very, very happy.' Elsewhere on Tuesday night's episode, tensions rise in the 'couple goals' challenge. Yas receives a text which reads, 'Islanders. It's time to reveal what you really think of each other in today's challenge, couple goals! #SmilingButJudging #StandOnBusiness' Hosted by Meg and Dejon, today's game sees the pair read out questions which the Islanders will all answer in their couples about the other couples. When the Islanders are asked the question, 'Which couple would you not want to go on a city break with?' Blu and Helena choose Harry and Shakira. Blu says, 'We went with Harry and Shakira. I think we all know the reason why - Harry might want to wife swap again.' Harry isn't happy with Blu's comments and says to him, 'You're better than that.' But when the Islanders answer 'Which couple is most fake?', the mood turns even more sour. Harry and Shakira choose Blu and Helena. When giving their reasons, Helena interjects, 'That's a cop out mate.' Harry says, 'Hold on. Blu - after the conversation we had this morning and for you to say you don't want to go on a break because I'm going to wife swap, I think it is extremely fake.' Blu says, 'You've done it five times.' When it comes to Toni and Cach's answers, Toni says, 'We've gone with Meg and Dejon. I feel like every time there is an argument between us you love to throw out 'I thought we were friends' - I feel like there have been many situations where you two have not been friends to me.' Meg and Dejon choose Shakira and Harry. Meg says, 'I feel like Shakira, you've made some very hurtful comments to me that we're not very nice and I've always been there for you.' Shakira is left less than impressed and says to Harry, 'The gloves are off now.' Despite the girls putting their differences aside, it appears the divide is as deep as ever. Will the girls work through their issues?
