Love Island chaos as second star 'kicked out' after villa twist
Love Island stars have been left reeling as a second contestant has reportedly been given the boot from the villa. Manchester stunner Sophie Lee was shown the door from the ITV2 programme earlier this week - and it seems another Islander is about to follow suit.
During Thursday's episode, Meg Moore receives a text with some juicy news: "Islanders, tonight there will be a recoupling in which the girls will choose which boy they want to couple up with #SpoiltForChoice #VillaVibesAreShifting."
This leaves the lads wondering if they've done enough to secure their spots. American beauty Toni Laites exclaims: "Tables have turned!"
As the boys line up, the girls gear up to make their choices and deliver their first speeches at the Firepit but will they stick with their current partners or have recent events prompted them to shake things up?
However, there's more drama in store for this recoupling as an unexpected extra text lands that takes all the Islanders by surprise. It has been reported that one cast member will be sent packing in scenes set to air on Friday night
This comes hot on the heels of new arrivals Shea Mannings and Remell Mullins, both of whom got first dibs in the villa reshuffle. Scaffolder Shea dropped a bombshell last night when he revealed he's a dad while describing his ideal woman.
The Bristol lad said: "She needs to be bubbly and we need to have that initial spark. She needs to have a nice personality - like I think I have - so that we match together." He shared: "Also, I have a little boy, so I'll be taking him into consideration with who I couple up with, too."
Elsewhere on Thursday night's show, the Islanders watch as Blu and Shakira leave the Hideaway and they have plenty of questions. Blu wastes no time in filling them in on the fact they shared a kiss.
Dejon asks Blu: 'What did you do in there? A chat?' Blu replies: 'No, we had a kiss, I went in for her.' Megan is shocked saying: 'I love the messiness!'
Meanwhile, Harry and Helena are at the mini Firepit and he asks Helena: 'Are we still on for the Hideaway?' But Dejon walks over to tell them the latest…
Dejon says: 'You know he (Blu) kissed her (Shakira)?' Harry replies: 'No he didn't…I don't believe what I'm hearing.'
Elsewhere, Shakira is telling Toni, explaining: 'Blu pulled me for a chat and he went, 'I didn't kiss you in the challenge 'cause I wanted to do it now' and he just leaned in…it was a good kiss but it says a statement, I feel like Ben won't be happy and Harry especially.'
Harry then asks Shakira about the kiss with Blu before telling her: 'All that matters is I want to pursue things with you.' Harry later hears Blu's side of the story, with Blu telling him: 'We had two kisses, where's your head at? It seems to me your with Helena more and flirting?' Harry says: 'I think it's more flirty, but I think Shakira's got more substance.'
Also that evening, Toni and Conor get closer as new bombshell Shea pulls Megan for a chat telling her: 'I wanna get to know you… you seem pretty content?' Megan says: 'I'm happy… I think the boys were shaking when you came in cause they've not felt that, but we have - I think Tommy's shi**ing himself.'
Then, as the Islanders settle in for bed at night Harry and Helena make the decision to action their plan to sneak off to the Hideaway, hoping no one will see them, but it doesn't go quite to plan…
The next morning, the Islanders have questions after Harry and Helena's not-so-secret trip the Hideaway. Helena talks to Shakira telling her: 'I wanted to speak to you 'cause I don't want you to think it was done in a malicious way.' But how will Shakira react?
Harry is also keen to pull Shakira for a chat. Shakira tells him: 'Don't act like you went to the Hideaway cause I kissed someone, you wanted to go…'
And the day isn't over yet. Later, Shakira has a chat with Ben that surprises her - might her head be turned back to the beginning?

I partied with Harry over a wild summer & saw the REAL ‘party prince' whose outrageous stunts would leave Meghan stunned
WADING past portaloos on piggy back, glugging VIP cocktails and wrestling in the mud with Mike Tindall, it was a vision of the notorious 'Party Prince' few of us would recognise today. But having spent a wild summer hanging out backstage with Prince Harry, I've seen first-hand another remarkable, hidden side to the royal - one he'd no doubt rather wife Meghan Markle didn't know. Advertisement 11 Prince Harry enjoys pint backstage at the Wireless Festival in 2011 Credit: Getty - Contributor 11 Harry was once known as the 'Party Prince'. Pictured above at the afterparty for Cartier international Polo Day in Windsor in 2004 Credit: Rex 11 Kelly Allen grabbed a cheeky selfie with Harry after he explained why he couldn't pose up 11 Kelly says Harry is now far removed from the carefree chap she saw happily chatting to punters Credit: Getty In those carefree days where he was merrily bombing around music festivals - even secretly getting up onstage in an outrageous disguise - I've never seen him happier, and now fear he'll live to regret refusing to ever come back to the UK. Advertisement The Duke of Sussex - It's a crying shame, as I've seen how much he clearly once enjoyed being in the thick of it with ordinary fans and punters back home - a distant memory from the troubled exile who now looks like he has the weight of the world on his shoulders. Harry, 40, is so far removed from the carefree lad I hung out with at festivals back in 2011, when he was known as 'The Party Prince' and ranked as everyone's favourite royal. He was a regular attendee at the Hard Rock Festival in London's Hyde Park - one of the most popular summer festivals because they spent millions building a fully-functioning restaurant backstage in the VIP section, so everyone wanted to blag entry. The first night in June 2011 had The Killers headlining and it was typical English summer weather, absolutely pouring down. But the rain didn't put good old Harry off having a great time. Advertisement He arrived in the backstage area with his cousin The Hard Rock Café bouncer, John Pascale, who was nicknamed Big Johnny, realised this was not fitting for a prince and leapt to offer his help. He gave Harry a piggy back to and from the posh portaloos. It was quite the sight to see The Queen's grandson on the back of this huge bloke laughing and messing around. John joked with the prince that he would happily carry him to the side of the stage, too, to watch the show if required. Prince Harry & Meghan Markle danced the night away at Beyonce gig - but he STILL looked glum, says expert Harry was hysterically laughing at the whole situation and everyone who worked there commented how super nice and down to earth he was. Advertisement He sat at a normal table and tucked into the famous Hard Rock burgers and plenty of cocktails. One of the staff told me that Harry had a special connection with Hard Rock Café, as his mum, Princess Diana, used to bring him and his brother Prince William to the restaurant on Hyde Park Corner when they were younger. She was also a fan and famously wore a Hard Rock Café jacket when she went down the log fume with them at Chessington World of Adventures. In a nod to this memory, the staff presented him with a specially made T-shirt that said Hard Rock Harry on it - and he was thrilled. 11 Harry was the image of cool as he hung out backstage at Wireless Credit: Getty Advertisement 11 Kelly asked the royal for a picture at Wireless but he declined 11 The prince spotted at Glastonbury in 2013 Credit: Alamy Royal rumbled He clearly had a great time as he returned to Hyde Park the following weekend for Wireless Festival. When I arrived, there were murmurs that Prince Harry was planning to attend. I imagined with a 65,000 strong crowd the chances of seeing him again would be slim - after all surely he would be backstage surrounded by bodyguards? So I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw him larking around in the VIP section with Advertisement I was never going to pass up the opportunity to speak to a royal, so rocked over to Harry, introduced myself and asked for a selfie. He said: "I'm sorry I can't take pictures as I'm not here in an official capacity." I said with a wink, "Well if I stand here and take a picture of myself and you happen to be in the background... so be it." I then asked him if he was excited for the show... or did he prefer Glee? He'd spent some time at Hard Rock Calling the previous weekend hanging out with the cast of the teen singing show ahead of their sold out He chuckled telling me: "Nah, I don't even like Glee. I'm looking forward to watching the Go wild with cousins After some back and forth about our favourite acts, it became clear to Harry that I'd dragged my mate Ollie along as a plus one, and that he was more interested in the free bar than the Prince's favourite R&B act. Advertisement Perhaps tired of our music analysis, he gave a subtle nod to a man who had been lingering nearby. Suddenly, I felt a tap on the shoulder and he said: "I think you've chatted to the Prince enough, can you please move away?" We did as we were asked and hit the bar, but when the music started and more gig-goers swarmed to the small VIP area in front of the stage, we ended up back beside Harry. He clearly had been enjoying the beverages as much as us, as by now he and It was not the most princely behaviour and they kept diving at each other. Finally Harry managed to knock the former rugby player to the ground and the pair kept wrestling, while Zara laughed at their antics and the rest of us watched on in amusement and astonishment. Later the royal lifted a pal's little girl on his shoulders so she could see the band.

They revealed afterwards that they had invited him to guest as a dancing gorilla. Jaxx star Felix Buxton said: "We were lucky enough to meet Prince Harry. I think he was more interested in Advertisement "Anyway, we met Harry before the show and said, 'If you want to be a gorilla on stage, help yourself'." Harry duly agreed. One of the requirements of being a dancing gorilla was to not overdo it on stage, but apparently Harry got a bit too excited. "[One gorilla] was doing this kind of silly disco dancing," Felix said. Perhaps all Harry needs is a trip home, a good festival and an open bar to remind him what he used to love so much about the UK "Often we say, can you try and get into the part of being a gorilla? Don't try act like you're on a stag do. So I went over and rugby tackled him down. "And after doing that, I looked out to side-stage and saw [security] with a hand on an earpiece. [I thought], 'Oh god, I forgot! Maybe that's him?' It looked like it was serious on a presidential level." Advertisement He later went to the dressing room to say sorry to the Duke of Sussex: "I quite pathetically did a curtsy to apologise for knocking him over." But it was ok as Harry enjoyed the anonymity of monkeying around in front of a large crowd. Felix added: "He said that was one of the best moments of his life. He might look back now and think, 'Oh god yeah, I was so free'". When I saw the picture Meghan posted on their eldest child Having spent so little time in the UK, neither of the couple's children have got to know their cousins, George, Charlotte and Advertisement While that summer, Harry got to go wild with his cousins Zara and Eugenie, it seems unlikely his own offspring will get to have such adventures. Perhaps all Harry needs is a trip home, a good festival and an open bar to remind him what he used to love so much about the UK. 11 Kelly was saddened to see this picture of Prince Archie released on his sixth birthday Credit: Instagram 11 Neither of Harry's children have got to know their cousins Credit: Instagram/Meghan
