Love Island villa is rocked by shock double dumping as two 'cheaters' are AXED in savage public vote after night of explosive rows
Love Island stars Megan and Remell were dumped from the villa during Friday's episode after the public voted for their favourite boy and girl.
After a night of explosive rows, the islanders were stunned into silence after newbie Georgio received a text telling them to gather round the fire pit to hear the results of the vote.
In an announcement which sent shockwaves around the villa, it was revealed that one boy and one girl would be leaving the villa that night - and the decision was solely down to the public.
Alima received a text saying Remell, Ben and Harry were the boys with the fewest votes and left vulnerable, before another revealed Remell had been dumped.
But the Islanders were left lost for words when another text came in, saying that OG Megan was the girl being sent home.
Megan has been at the centre of villa drama over the last week, after kissing Connor while coupled up with Tommy while Emily was away at a Sleepover.
Reading out a text after arriving at the fire pit, Shakira said: 'Islanders the public have been voting for their favourite girl and favourite boy.
'Those with the least votes will be at risk of being dumped from the island tonight. As Georgio is the newest boy he is immune from the vote.'
Alima revealed the three at risk boys were Ben, Remell and Harry. Next Dejon read out that Toni, Shakira and Megan were the vulnerable girls.
All vulnerable islanders were then asked to stand in front of the fire pit and it was revealed the public vote would decide which boy and girl are dumped.
The islanders were left stunned when it was announced that Megan and Remell had been dumped.
The camera cut to Connor, who has been getting to know Megan and looked utterly shocked at her dumping.
Elsewhere in Friday's episode saw Harrison and Helena headed to the Hideaway and shared snog - but it immediately backfired with an explosive row.
The ITV2 dating show, presented by Maya Jama, has already seen plenty of arguments and antics in the villa in Mallorca since its launch earlier this month.
And the recent scenes were no different, as Helena and Harrison's heads started to turn from their current partners - to his partner Toni's fury.
Helena had only just come back from The Sleepover villa, where she recoupled with bombshell Giorgio, leaving her partner Shea dumped from the island.
And in Thursday's episode, Harrison went on a wholesome strawberry-picking date with partner Toni, during which both seemed delighted about how things were going.
She got a text reading: 'It's time for you and Harrison to head out for a date. Please get ready to leave the villa. #RipeForThePicking #Juicy.'
After the date, Harrison was feeding berries to her as he said: 'I always say I like a fiery, direct girl and you tick both those boxes for sure.'
Toni replied: 'I'm happy with you so far. I like that we don't compare ourselves to anyone in the villa… Things are going well between us.'
But just a day later, in Friday's episode, things got flirty between Harrison and Helena, as she tells him where her head is at with Giorgio.
As they chatted on the hammock, she said: 'He's not my type… he's just very serious all the time.'
Harrison asked: 'You don't want to rip his clothes off him?', and she replies: 'Not at all.' He then cheekily ventured: 'Do you feel like that with me?'
His partner Toni watched on from the Snug with Emily and Shakira, who said: 'She's what he'd go for in the outside world.' Toni warned: 'Don't put demons in my head.'
Shakira continued: 'I just don't want you to look like a mug… I see that he's still invested in other people and I don't want you to be all in for him.'
After calling things off with Giorgio - the brother of footballer Alessio Russo - Helena headed to the Hideaway terrace with Harrison later that evening, as Toni watches.
There, he told her: 'We could be in trouble after tonight.' Helena replied: 'It's the risk you've got to take sometimes.'
He asked: 'Are you willing to take that risk though?', to which newly-unattached Helena said: 'I've got nothing to lose.'
The pair then shared multiple kisses on the Hideaway terrace chair.
They soon returned to the garden where the other Islanders are awaiting their return with anticipation - not least Toni.
An argument soon began, as she said angrily to Harrison: 'We just went on a f***ing date yesterday and you're already going to the hideaway with another girl and kissing her.'
Shakira soon gave him a piece of her mind too: 'I don't know what planet you're on, you've obviously upset the girl, you know what reaction it was going to have …'
Harrison responded: 'I went to the Hideaway… it's not that deep. I was thinking in the moment.'
She fired back: 'You weren't thinking at all, Harrison.'
Helena's part in it is confusing too - at The Sleepover villa, she admitted to Emily that despite recoupling with Giorgio, she was still pining for former flame Harry.
