In recent scenes on the long-running dating show, we saw the departure of Helena Ford and Blu Chegini.
Conor Phillips and Megan Forte-Clarke were also dumped from Love Island, just days before the grand finale.
This may have signalled the end of the highly-publicised villa divide between the girls.
Millions of viewers have watched the likes of Toni Laites and Shakira Khan clash with Helena and Meg Moore.
Things got especially heated when Harry Cooksley's head was turned back to Shakira after he made his partnership with Helena 'exclusive'.
But one viewer noticed that the divide came about a long time before the infamous Grafties ceremony.
On fan forum platform Reddit, one informed fan noticed that the girls were splitting in the villa all the way back in episode two of the 2025 series.
A throwback clip posted on the platform, in a thread titled 'Episode 2- the start of the divide'.
In the video, Shakira made a new best friend in Toni after her bombshell arrival and the duo gossiped together by the firepit.
This was as Alima Gagigo, Sophie Lee, Megan, Helena, and Meg were all sitting together in a separate part of the villa.

Shakira told the Las Vegas cabana server that she felt like she was judged from the rest of the girls for chatting with so many of the boys so early on.
She remarked: "I'm not joking, getting ready then the vibes felt so off.
"So it's not enough to like pick up on and say something about because it's nothing that is being said, but it's the energy.
Toni replied: "You know everyone is interested in you."
Then Shakira stated: "I've been grafting, but I feel like the girls don't appreciate that.
"But equally what's stopping them from doing the same thing? We've all been here [only] a day.
She added: "Like, I think I have a right to get to know everybody."
Meanwhile in the separate sofa area, Meg remarked: "The problem is, thinking of what Maya said last night, I think it is in Shakira's court.

Skaira Khan
"That's why she's been grafting her f****** a*** off today."
To which Helena sarcastically responded: "I think she fancies everyone doesn't she?"
She jokingly added: "She probably fancies the plants!"
Captioning the preview, the fan wrote: "Is this when the 'bullying' started?

While a second added: "I'm no Shakira-Harry fan, but as a guy, it always came across to me that jealousy was a primary motivator in those in the villa that disliked her."

Shock moment Love Island star Yasmin's mum claims finale result was FIXED – as show bosses hit back
LOVE Island star Yasmin Pettet's mum claimed the final result was fixed - and show bosses have hit back. Yasmin and villa partner Jamie Rhodes placed third in the gripping live finale. 3 Yasmin and Jamie placed third in the Love Island final Credit: ITV 3 Yasmin entered as a bombshell - and soon became a fan favourite Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 3 Her mum Mitra shared her thoughts on a TikTok livestream Credit: Tiktok Toni Laites and Cach Mercer were announced as the winners of Love Island 2025. During the finale, Yasmin's twin sister Zara and mum Mitra hosted a TikTok livestream. Speaking in the clip, Mitra said: "What you don't understand is this is not a paid vote. "If it's not a paid vote, you cannot see the results. That means they can say whatever they want. "Do you understand? For you to see the result - a correct result that people vote - you have to pay cash. "Because this is free voting, they decide." Mitra referenced Yasmin and Dejon writing each other's names on their boards during a villa game. The Islanders were asked who they'd couple up with if their actual partner wasn't in the villa. She added: "I always knew after that episode that Yasmin's not going to win - because of the way they edited it." The Sun has approached ITV for comment. Maya Jama says she 'blacked out' during Love Island final as she praises 'most dramatic series yet' However, ITV have refuted Mitra's claims by releasing the finale's voting percentages. Winners Toni and Cach secured an impressive 33.5% of the audience's support. Shakira and Harry drew a sizeable 26.2% of the votes, while Yas and Jamie were not far behind taking 22% on the nose. Aesthetics practitioner Angel, 26, only made her debut on July 17, but managed to secure an impressive 18.3% of the overall voting audience with Casa Amor boy Ty. As for Yasmin, she entered the villa on Day 5 alongside fellow bombshells Emily and Malisha. She then explored connections with villa boys Shea, Conor, Harry and Ben. Yasmin met Jamie during Casa Amor - and their bond continued into the final. Love Island airs on ITV2 and ITVX.
