Dumped Love Island stars brutally hit out at fellow Islanders for 'gameplaying'
It was the end of the road for Shea, Caprice, Poppy and Will in Love Island last night, as they learnt the decisions of fellow Islanders had huge consequences.
Caprice, Poppy and Will's time on the ITV2 show was short lived as they failed to make their way back to the main villa after Remell, Dejon and Emily decided to stick with their original partners. Over at the main villa, Shea and the rest of the villa were left gutted when they realised Helena's decision to recouple and bring Giorgio meant he had been dumped.
The main villa were left in tears at the revelation, and over at The Sleepover, it was clear Poppy and Caprice were left confused with Remell and Dejon's decisions to stick with Alima and Meg.
Earlier in the show, we saw Remell and Poppy share a kiss outside the challenge. Not only that, he revealed he would couple up with Poppy 12 hours earlier if he had the choice.
Following their dumping, Caprice and Poppy have spoken out, as they accuse the pair of 'gameplaying'.
During her exit interview, when asked how she felt when Remell chose Alima, she said: "Shocked and surprised. I feel like Remell perhaps didn't go with his true feelings, he said less than 12 hours before on truth or dare game that he'd recouple with me and he wanted to take things further."
However, it was fellow Sleepover Villa roommate Dejon who she accused of gameplaying. When asked about how she felt about him going back to Meg, she said: "I think he's playing a game, I think he's there until the end and Meg will help."
Dejon was paired with Caprice in the Sleepover Villa, and the pair seemed to hit it off from the start. The two shared a number of laughs, as Dejon was heard telling Caprice she was going to be trouble.
When it came to the recoupling decision, Dejon was adamant he wanted to remain with "my Meg". At the time, Caprice told Maya Jama she wasn't surprised, saying she'd been confused the whole time.
Expanding in her exit interview, the former Islander said: "I expected it. From the beginning I felt like he knew what he was going to do. I think he's playing a bit of a game though, but I expected it from him."
Elsewhere, dumped Islander Shea who spent weeks in the villa with both couples had his say. While he said he was pleased Remell and Alima stay together, he expressed his uncertainty towards Meg and Dejon.
"It's a bit different with them, I'm not too sure if it's going to last. Just from what I was seeing it's a bit one sided from Meg's side. Only time will tell," he said.
Tonight's episode will see the fallout from the past few days - as a snippet teased a huge argument between Alima and Remell. Have his actions at The Sleepover ruined his relationship for good?
Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.

Love Island fans shocked over 'pathetic' budget in-villa final dates as they question whether islanders 'deserve' lavish experiences after 'loveless' season
Love Island fans have been left shocked over the very budget in-villa dates experienced by the Islanders during Friday's show, branding them 'pathetic'. Previous seasons of the ITV2 dating show saw contestants whisked off to idyllic locations outside of the villa, with lavish experiences including champagne-filled yacht rides and romantic candlelit castle courtyards strewn with rose petals. However, this year, the budget seems to have been cut, with host Iain Sterling remarking that the couples were 'staying home' and revealing that it was down to the boys to prepare the dates in and around the Mallorca villa. The episode saw the boys head to the local market to purchase gifts for the girls before heading back to whip up a meal for their partners. But while the girls seemed impressed with bowls of pasta in the garden and a breakfast bar adorned with cushions and candles, viewers at home were far from enamoured. Taking to X, fans were quick to air their views, with some even suggesting the islanders don't 'deserve' fancy dates due to the 'loveless' season. This year, the budget seems to have been cut, with host Iain Sterling remarking that the couples were 'staying home' and revealing that it was down to the boys to prepare the dates They penned: 'What even are these final dates tho defo on extreme cut backs this year' 'So the real budget went to Tinie Tempah and Katy B?? We used to have proper final dates aaah recession everywhere.' 'Are ITV broke? The lack of challenges and this pathetic final date say it all. Bring back the yachts and nighttime castles with a piano soundtrack.' 'The final dates used to be so extravagant, but these lot don't deserve it because it has been such a loveless season' 'Does #LoveIsland need some money? Boys preparing final dates?! Back in the day you could tell the producers fave couple because they'd get the Yacht date and the least fave would get a table and chairs in the middle of a town square.' 'The way the producers think non of these people deserve expensive yacht dates and 100s of roses' 'These dates are simply pathetic? Where's the budget this year?' And during the underwhelming dates, fan favourites Megan Moore and Conor Phillips were brutally dumped from the villa.

Love Island's Helena breaks silence as she reveals plans for date with unlikely Islander
Dumped Love Island star Helena Ford has said she's looking forward to a double date with a very unlikely contestant after her whirlwind journey in the villa Love Island contestant Helena Ford has spoken for the first time since being dumped from the villa, confirming she intends to remain friends with former partner Harry Cooksley and has even made plans for a double date with him, Meg and Dejon once filming is over. Helena was eliminated on Thursday night alongside Blu, with whom she was in a friendship couple. The exit followed a turbulent few weeks in which she and Harry went exclusive before he ended their relationship to pursue fellow Islander Shakira Khan. Despite the breakup, Helena said she wanted to maintain a friendship with Harry. It comes after there was even more chaos in the villa as another couple was dumped just moments after a romantic final date. 'I don't regret saying we would be friends because I was accepting of the situation and starting to move on from it,' she said in her exit interview. 'The main thing for me wasn't losing the relationship, it was losing our friendship as we had such a great connection. I wanted to still be around him and not avoid him.' Helena explained she believed the dynamic between them would improve away from the pressures of the villa. 'Without the pressure of being in the Villa and seeing each other on the outside, we will be friends. Me, Meg, D and him had already made plans to do things as a four. We have so many similarities, which was why we got on in the first place.' She also addressed the backlash Harry has faced from viewers over his handling of the situation. 'Actions will always have consequences but I would still back him in some situations as he is remorseful,' she said. 'I don't think he is a bad person, I just don't think he knows how to handle certain things.' Helena's softer side was highlighted during her on‑screen exit when, after hugging her fellow Islanders, she offered Harry a short but notable parting message. 'Look after Shakira,' she told him. The gesture came despite previous tensions between Helena and Shakira, as well as an ongoing feud between Shakira and Helena's friend Meg, which has been described as one of the 'biggest feuds in Love Island history.' Harry had admitted to still having feelings for Shakira even while exclusive with Helena, which contributed to the breakdown of their relationship inside the villa. Helena's comment was praised by some viewers on social media for showing grace in a difficult moment. 'Whatever you think of Helena, her walking out by saying to Harry 'be good to Shakira' is lovely. She's not the mean girl a lot of people try to make her out to be,' one fan wrote on X.

Toni received the text which read: 'Islanders. The public have been voting for the most compatible couple. "The couple with the fewest votes and therefore dumped from the island tonight is Connor and Megan." The islanders were visibly shocked and Angel was the first to hug Megan. Connor and Shakira hugged for ages as Shakira joked about his singing career. "I've done this before," joked Megan. Connor added: "My time has come to an end and I loved every minute of it. "It's made me so many good I found someone." Harry replied: "You've done what you come here to do mate." During an emotional goodbye Megan explained that she had done everything she came back to do. Love Island fans slam Dejon for 'huge overreaction' as the girls play a trick on the boys Megan added: "I came back for what I wanted and I got what I wanted." Fans were quick to comment on social media and one wrote: "The producers are playing games because there's no way people voted Megan and Connor out "Instead of Meg and manipulative Dejon. I'm absolutely flabbergasted." Another added: "Bro they had me sitting on edge of my seat with that music, waiting to celebrate that Dejon and Meg got voted off…..just for it to be Megan and Connor." While a third said: "Absolutely sick that we had to sit through a full hour of Meg and Dejon not being able to stand the sight of each other. "And still get to stay over Connor and Megan who genuinely get on."
