Casa Amor has shaped events in the villa for the entire week as some of the boys decided to bring new girls to the main villa.
On the long-running dating programme, some of the girls also chose to recouple with more of the bombshells as relationships were tested.
Harry Cooksley has been involved in a love triangle between Helena Ford and his ex-girlfriend Emma Munro.
Meg clashed with new bombshell Malisha after her date with Dejon, while it seems that things might be back on with Toni and Harrison.
As a new recoupling looms, producers have taken a rare step to make sure as much villa action makes it to the airwaves.
Tonight's edition of Love Island has been extended by 20 minutes so viewers can get the most out of the super dramatic recoupling.
The episode is apparently so dramatic, the drama has had to be shown over five parts.
As such, the new sitcom Transaction has been pushed back with a new start time of 10.20pm.
A source told The Sun: "It's the most dramatic recoupling of the whole series and was impossible to edit down to an hour."
Recently, reality show enthusiasts were shocked by Harrison's recent behaviour.
Love Island fans spot 'evil' way producers 'messed with' stars ahead of cliff-hanger episode as three couples' future hangs in the balance
Onlookers were initially obsessed when Toni recreated the iconic Ekin-Su crawl on the terrace in a scandalous U-turn.
She also admitted that she was "happier" with Harrison than she was with Cacherel 'Cach' Mercer.
The Las Vegas cabana server then told her former partner to get rid of his Casa Amor bombshell, Lauren Wood, that he brought back to the villa.
But viewers noticed that before the secret conversation, Harrison reassured Lauren throughout the day.

Dancing on Ice stars Torvill and Dean's huge net worth after retiring
New figures from Torvill and Dean's company accounts reveal they have a very healthy bank balance - and could earn even more next year Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean are worth a cool £5 million as they hang up their boots and retire from ice skating. The pair were judges on Dancing on Ice for 19 years until it was announced the ITV show would not return in 2026. They then went on a farewell tour of the UK called 'Our Last Dance', playing huge shows in London, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool and Glasgow before performing for the final time together in their beloved hometown of Nottingham on July 12. Now Jayne, 67, and Christopher, 66, are set to enjoy a fruitful retirement as accounts for their skating company Waikiki Limited revealed they've amassed assets of £5 million, including a whopping £620,000 in cash. That's £586,000 more than they earned the previous year. And next year's earnings following their latest tour could be even more, as these accounts only cover the period up to 27 October 2024. Dancing on Ice, which had aired since 2006, came to an end in March 2025. The most recent final, won by Coronation Street star Sam Aston managed to pull in just 2.7 million viewers – a staggering decline from the viewing figures it once had, with an estimated 12 million tuning in during previous years. Announcing the show wouldn't be returning next year, an ITV spokesperson said: "Following another successful series earlier this year, Dancing On Ice will be rested in 2026 with no current plans for another series. "We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the cast and crew who have worked on the show since 2006, and over the previous 17 series, for all of their hard work both on and off the ice." But despite a dip in viewing figures, former Dancing on Ice pro Alex Murphy said it was more likely the fact Torvill and Dean announced they would be retiring this year that led to it being shelved. She told The Sun: "Torvill and Dean are national treasures. They are fantastic people, and the most iconic skaters in the skating world as a whole, not just England, and I think Britain sometimes doesn't recognise that, or even notice that they are iconic to the world. "We are obsessed with them in my industry as a skater. I grew up watching them, my mother grew up watching them. They are so iconic. So it's their show. I just love that. It's their show. So whenever they're ready, I think, then that's when it will go.' The ice skating icons shot to fame in 1984 after their legendary bolero dance saw them secure a gold medal and 12 perfect 6.0 scores at the Winter Olympics in Sarajevo in a performance that was watched by 24 million Brits alone - making it one of the most-watched TV events in British history. Jayne recently revealed that they managed to work together and stay friends for the past 50 years because they never married and their relationship was always platonic. Speaking to BBC Breakfast, she said of their partnership, which began when they were just 15: "It was all just very new for both of us. As we skated together a few more times, I think we both realised that we both had a passion for it, and we both wanted to get better. Keep doing it, practice, get better. "And I think that's what kept us going all these years. I always say that we never got married, so that's why we are still best of friends and still love working together." Reflecting on their final performance, Christopher said their journey now 'feels complete.' He added: "After the tour finishes in Nottingham, we'll be hanging up the skates as Torvill and Dean. Will it be a sad moment? Of course! We climbed up the mountain, saw the beautiful views, won a few medals and we're able to bow out on our terms. The journey feels complete."

Inside Karen Pirie star Lauren Lyle's private life and career as ITV drama returns
Lauren Lyle is best known for her role as Marsali MacKimmie Fraser in Outlander, but she's returning to screens as Karen Pirie in the second season of the ITV detective series Lauren Lyle is set to grace our screens once again as Karen Pirie in the second series of the ITV detective drama. The 32-year-old actress is perhaps most recognised for her portrayal of Marsali MacKimmie Fraser in Outlander, where she stars alongside Caitriona Balfe and Sam Heughan. Her acting repertoire also includes roles such as Jade Antoniak in BBC's Vigil, as well as parts in Netflix's Toxic Town and The Bombing on Pan Am 103. On the theatrical front, Lauren has shone in productions of The Crucible, Wuthering Heights, Consensual and Merchant of Venice. She first made a name for herself on the West End after relocating to London at 19, which was swiftly followed by her television debut on BBC Three's BBC Comedy Feeds, in an episode titled Radges, reports the Express. Subsequent appearances included a stint in Holby City, and a starring role opposite Sean Bean in the BBC drama Broken. Her breakthrough role arrived in 2017 with Outlander, and the following year saw Lauren feature in the film adaptation of Fiona Shaw's novel Tell It to the Bees, alongside Anna Paquin and Holliday Grainger. In addition to her acting career, Lauren hosts a podcast, She's A Rec, where she engages guests in discussions about their favourite albums, films, books and influential female heroes. Her portrayal of the intrepid young Scottish detective Karen Pirie earned her the accolades of Best Actress - Television and Favourite Scot on Screen at the 2023 Bafta Awards Scotland. Lauren previously opened up to The Sunday Post about her journey to stardom, recalling her move to London where she lived with four strangers and juggled various odd jobs while chasing her dream. She recounted: "I came to London to audition for drama schools and came close but didn't get in. I think I'd only been to London once before as a kid but didn't remember it." Her passion was undeniable as she expressed: "I was so hungry for it, and being around other actors in this world was so thrilling and I knew this was what I wanted to do and the place to do it." Despite having what she described as "deluded confidence" and a competitive nature, Lauren shared that she worked as a dog walker, handed out flyers, manned reception desks, and even sorted stock at Zara for months before landing transformative roles in Outlander and Broken, which both came her way within weeks of each other. Reflecting on the tough times, she said: "It was bleak at times but I loved going to the theatre and seeing this life dangled in front of me. It was quite inspiring." Away from the limelight, Lauren maintains a private life, with her social media accounts highlighting her career achievements and travel experiences. In the 2023 interview with The Sunday Post, she did share a glimpse into her personal life, confirming her relationship status and revealing that her boyfriend joined her in celebrating the Baftas. She divulged: "My parents are coming - my dad has a new velvet jacket to go with his tartan troos - as is my boyfriend, who is South-African-Australian, but we've recently discovered he has lots of Scottish heritage, so he might wear a kilt."

Scuffle breaks out on stage of Royal Opera House after performer unfurls Palestinian flag
A brief scuffle broke out at London's Royal Opera House after a performer unfurled a Palestinian flag during a show. The incident took place during a performance of Il Trovatore on Saturday. During the final night of the 11-night run of the show, a performer held up the flag on stage. In video footage, shared online, someone backstage could be seen attempting to take it off the performer. The performer grabs it back following a brief scuffle. A spokesperson for the Royal Ballet and Opera said: "The display of the flag was an unauthorised action by the artist. "It was not approved by the Royal Ballet and Opera and is a wholly inappropriate act." The reaction to the flag was mixed, with some people heard applauding and cheering, while another audience member was heard saying "oh my God". One poster on X, who claimed to have been a member of the audience, said: "Extraordinary scenes at the Royal Opera House tonight. "During the curtain call for Il Trovatore one of the background artists came on stage waving a Palestine flag. Just stood there, no bowing or shouting. Someone off stage kept trying to take it off him. Incredible." Performers show support for Palestinians A number of performers have shown support for Palestinians amid the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza. During Glastonbury Festival, numerous acts offered messages of support during their sets, including Kneecap, Bob Vylan, Wolf Alice, and Amyl And The Sniffers. During her band's set, Wolf Alice singer Ellie Rowsell told the crowd at the Other Stage: "Whilst we have the stage for just a little bit longer, we want to express our solidarity with the people of Palestine. "No-one should ever be afraid to do that." Following their performances, both Kneecap and Bob Vylan faced investigation by Avon and Somerset Police. 2:06 Bob Vylan were widely criticised after leading on-stage chants of "death to the IDF" (Israel Defence Forces). The performance was live-streamed by the BBC, sparking a backlash against the broadcaster - which later issued an apology. The investigation into Kneecap was later dropped, with the police saying there was insufficient evidence to provide a realistic prospect of conviction for any offence".
