Love Island viewers left bemused as Meg Moore confides in 'council of mug-makers' Harry Cooksley and Harrison Solomon over her romance woes
The latest episode of the popular ITV2 reality show was drama-filled with tensions running high in the villa, particularly between Meg and Dejon.
They've been coupled up from the beginning of series 12 and seemed largely solid, with the semi-professional footballer referring to her as 'my Meg' on a number of occasions.
But after heading off to Casa Amor, the hunk had his head turned by bombshell Andrada Pop, with the pair admitting there's 'sexual tension' between them during a number of flirty conversations.
Dejon however chose to stay loyal to Meg and return to the villa alone, with the pair elated to at last be together again during Wednesday's recoupling.
Meg was left questioning her relationship with Dejon after bombshell Andrada Pop revealed she had grown close to the hunk in Casa Amor
But the excitement was short-lived as Andrada soon entered the villa alongside Ben Holbrough, with the beauty quick to allude that Dejon hadn't been as loyal as Meg may have hoped for.
'He did say that I'm the best bombshell for him,' Andrada told Meg.
'It wasn't just sexual conversations, we were laughing and getting to know each other'.
It left Meg questioning her connection with Dejon, with the stunner noticeably upset about the situation.
But viewers were left stunned when she turned to Harry and Harrison - who have both enjoyed smooches away from their couples on multiple occasions - for advice during a lonely moment.
Many took to X to express their disillusionment, writing: 'meg going to harry and harrison for relationship advice? the plot has officially been lost',
'Meg crying to Harry 7 Harrison about Dejon is like crying to demons about the devil',
'Meg, your complaining the council of Mug makers,, Harry squared??',
While Harrison sparked up a romance in Casa Amor despite telling Toni he had feelings for her just days earlier
Fans flooded to X to express their disillusionment, with some branding Harry and Harrison the 'council of mug-makers'
'Meg you are asking... Harrison & Harry for advice? When they're worse?',
'Why's Meg asking for Harry and Harrison's opinions. They're just as bad'.
Thursday's episode saw Emily Moran and Giorgio Russo dumped from the villa after being left single during Casa Amor.
The bombshell dumping came after viewers witnessed an explosive argument unfold around the firepit, with Maya Jama blasting Harry and Helena Ford for laughing about his behaviour during their time together.
Harry and Helena were reunited during Wednesday's episode when he surprisingly returned from Casa alone, despite exploring a connection with bombshell Rheo Parnell.
Rheo spilled the tea during the recoupling, letting the islanders know that there were 'kisses in bed, cuddles and all sorts' between her and Harry.
Andrada Pop then pointed out that Harry admitted he 'didn't miss' his couple during Casa, which prompted a surprised and rather unbothered response from the semi-professional footballer and Helena who burst into laughter.
Maya then hit-back at their reaction, saying: 'I don't know, I probably wouldn't find it that funny if I was in a couple with someone like that.'
Moments later the focus shifted to American Toni Laites and Harrison Solomon, who chose to go their separate ways during the recoupling.
After being asked her thoughts on the situation, Toni admitted that she wasn't surprised that Harrison - who has form of doing similar in the villa - returned with a new girl.
It prompted a strange reaction from Ben, who quipped: 'I've just got to give it Harrison, man. What Lauren's been able to give him in three days, you (Toni) haven't been able to in two, three weeks.'
Maya once again hit-back, telling Ben his comment was 'unnecessary'.
Friday's episode is sure to be jampacked full of drama as the islanders settle down for movie night.

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island stars Ben Holbrough and Andrada Pop have split just days after leaving the villa - as he's spotted all over a Towie star. The taxi driver, 23, and the nail technician, 27, vowed to give their romance a go on the outside after they were dumped from the villa following a public vote. 9 Love Island's Ben Holbrough appears to have split from Andrada Pop Credit: The Sun 9 The taxi driver was spotted having a two hour conversation with Towie's Dani Imbert Credit: The Sun 9 The pair were seen holding hands while at the St Moritz summer party Credit: The Sun 9 The pair put on a cosy display as they chatted and laughed at the event Credit: The Sun 9 Ben and Andrada vowed to give their romance a go on the outside Credit: Shutterstock Editorial But just days after they gushed over each other on Love Island's Aftersun, the pair seem to have already called it a day. Last night, Ben was spotted putting on a cosy display with Towie star Dani Imbert, 27, at the St Moritz summer party. They were seen whispering in each other's ear, holding hands and then proceeded to enjoy a string of kisses at Broadwick Soho. A source said 'There was instant attraction from the moment they met - they spent two hours kissing at the party it was all very intimate. READ MORE ON LOVE ISLAND comeback kid Love Island fans fume as Harry charms ex's folks & branded 'lovable villain' "It's clearly very much over with Andrada as Dani seemed to be the only thing on his mind." Days after their exit, the pair appeared on podcast Love Island: The Morning After. Ben shared how he's had a "reality check" after fans branded him "vile". He said: "We had Yasmin, Toni, Shakira - I had my run-ins with them. The thing is, it was all such silly things as well. "Not using it as an excuse, but feelings and emotions are just so heightened. It's the littlest things that can trigger you." Love Island's Ben admits he's had a 'reality check' after fans branded him 'vile' Ben continued: "For me, the way I went about it, I should've went about it so much more differently. The way I spoke, the language and stuff. "It's not until I watched it back that you realise - obviously with certain situations in life, you have arguments. "But you never see it back. You're never in a position where you can watch it back and see how you actually were. "I think me actually watching it back especially, gave me like a real reality check of, 'I don't like how I spoke'." She added: "We're just taking it day by day and getting to know each other more and more." Ben entered the ITV2 villa on Day 1, where he was initially coupled up with Shakira. However, bombshell Toni arrived as the first big twist and "stole" the hunk away. He would ultimately later recouple with Shakira - and also explored connections with Yasmin and Helena. By Casa Amor, he and Shakira had recoupled again but had no romantic spark between them. Upon meeting the new girls, Ben and Andrada soon hit off and began their connection. They were coupled up in the main villa, before ultimately being dumped from the island after receiving the fewest public votes. 9 A source said they looked very 'intimate' all evening Credit: The Sun 9 They seemed comfortable in each other's company Credit: The Sun 9 The pair gushed about each other on Love Island's Aftersun Credit: Shutterstock Editorial

Furious Ekin-Su says ‘my blood is boiling' as she opens up after Curtis Pritchard split
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island legend Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu has urged single men to "stop being idiots" in a furious rant after splitting from Curtis Pritchard. The TV star told followers that her "blood was boiling" and that she is struggling with the standard of dating in 2025. 4 Ekin-Su complained about the state of the dating world in 2025 Credit: TikTok / @ekinsuofficial Ekin and the Love Island hunk split after just three weeks of dating following their time on the second All Stars series in January. In a TikTok video, she sat down to address her grievances with men's attitudes toward dating. She said: "It is absolutely frustrating me, it is infuriating me, it is making my blood boil. "I am hearing stories all the time from friends, I don't even know, people I do know, people on the street, random conversations that dating is really hard. "I'm hearing that they're getting ghosted, I'm hearing that guy is seeing multiple women or doesn't know what he wants, and I'm just like - wow, what is going on? "I would say let's go back 10 years ago. I don't think it was this bad. "I don't know what's going on with relationships, I don't know what's going on with people's intentions, but people seem to be getting bored very easily." Wearing a striped tank top and minimal make-up, Ekin-Su looked effortlessly beautiful as she talked to the camera. "That is the problem. People seem to be wanting more than the grass is a lot greener on the other side," she continued. Love Island's wildest and sexiest terrace moments "They think that what they have, they might find a better version or something gives them the ick." She urged people to "focus on flourishing the grass in front of you" and sent the message to uncommitted men that "the grass isn't always greener". She also said that women needed to remember to know their worth and not let others "walk all over them". Ekin added: "Love comes from within, love comes from yourself, really love yourself and then you'll find someone who's whole and loves themselves and then you can be together. "Guys, wake up. Stop being idiots and take that girl on a date and spoil her and treat her right because the grass is not that green." Back in May, a source close to Ekin and Curtis told The Sun of the break-up: 'It was very much a mutual decision, but it happened very recently in the last few days. "It certainly wasn't weeks in the making, so it's still raw for them both but they had a series of crisis talks in the recent days which were emotional for them both. "They wanted to make it work, but they felt they like they were growing apart and they couldn't see a way forward. "One of the biggest issues for their relationship was their busy careers - it sounds like a cliche but Ekin, 30, is getting a lot of work opportunities out in America, while Curtis, 29, is focussing on his burgeoning boxing career as well as his new investment app. "As they are both so busy, it was becoming harder to prioritise the relationship and they realised that wasn't a good sign. "They are still on really good terms and it's all very amicable. "Nobody was blindsided, so there is no bad blood between them." 4 She told men to stop being idiots Credit: TikTok / @ekinsuofficial 4 The couple split earlier this year after a short stint of dating Credit: Rex
