ITV's hit dating show Love Island returns tonight with some fresh drama as the aftermath of the boys' actions play out and a bombshell arrives as the Islanders gather around the fire pit for a recoupling.
Love Island truly turned up the heat last night as the Islanders took part in their first challenge of the season - and it didn't disappoint. The notorious Got The Receipts challenge returned, and chaos quickly followed.
The Islanders slid down a conveyor belt, swiped a card and revealed a jaw-dropping secret about another Islander of the opposite sex, sending shockwaves through the villa.
‌
But it wasn't just juicy gossip stirring the pot. A secret pact between Harry, Dejon and Shea was exposed after the challenge, igniting drama that fractured friendships and relationships within the villa. With Shea and Tommy coming to blows, and Dejon admitting to Meg he wants to get to know Malisha.
‌
As the fallout continues, tonight's episode promises even more confrontation, unexpected revelations and a surprise recoupling that could turn everything upside down.
Here is a sneak peek into tonight's episode...
The episode starts with Toni and Emily having a heart-to-heart, as Conor watches from across the villa. Emily admits that Conor had mentioned going to the Hideaway - something she turned down out of respect for Toni.
"Last night he mentioned the Hideaway," Emily tells her, "but I said no because I respect how you've been throughout the whole situation."
Toni, keeping her cool but clearly affected by the news, responds: "Thank you, I'm not stupid. I can tell you get along, but I want to hear it from him – I'm not gonna fake tears I don't have left to cry."
‌
Later, Toni pulls Conor for a chat to get the truth from him directly. "I don't want you two to have to keep talking to me," she tells him, before continuing, "so I think I get the hint, you're getting along [with Emily], she told me mentions of the Hideaway, I wish that came from you and not her."
Conor admits he didn't know how to handle it: "I probably should have said that to you, but I didn't really know how to go about it."
‌
With things in the clear for Conor and Emily to continue, could this mean a trip to the Hideaway is finally on the cards?
Elsewhere in the Villa, things get heated between Alima and Remell as she confronts him over his behaviour during the challenge. "I think you were so disrespectful," Alima tells him. 'I'm not gonna lie... Do you feel like you did everything right?'
‌
The tension builds as she adds, "You say you like me and do things that just don't match, it's worse you can't even take accountability…maybe we're not compatible…"
Remell tries to defend himself, but is Alima done?
Things aren't much calmer elsewhere in the villa. Malisha and Meg attempt to bury the hatchet again, pinky promising to no more arguments.
‌
Malisha presses Meg: 'I just want to know what has he told you about me speaking to him?' Meg's answer is vague: 'He hasn't said much to be honest….'
But before the two can pull Dejon into the mix, Yasmin stirs the pot with a flirty proposition for Dejon after he compliments her and Toni's outfits. She bluntly asks: "Would you ever have a threesome with me and Toni?"
Dejon is left stunned by her question, almost spitting out his drink before Yasmin laughs it off as "intrusive thoughts."
‌
He joins Meg and Malisha for a chat, with Meg saying: "It's hard work being in a three way triangle cause we're just gonna keep clashing heads, you need to be transparent with the both of us.'
Will Dejon have a clear answer for both of them?
‌
The next morning, Tommy, Shea and Megan clear the air after things got heated over the boys' challenge antics. But can they put their differences aside and move on from the drama?
Later that afternoon, Conor gets a text which shocked the villa. The text reads: "Islanders, Tonight there will be a recoupling in which the boys will choose which girl they want to couple up with. #DecisionTime #ShesTheOne."
‌
With some boys set in their decision and others questioning who to choose, they chat about preparing their speeches as they get ready for the evening.
Later on, it's time for the boys to recouple, with the Islanders gathered at the fire pit.
With a few heads scrambled after an eventful couple of days in the Villa, some of the girls are unsure what lies ahead for them.
