In last night's show, Giorgio got a text and everyone was sent to gather at the Firepit.
The bottom three girls were then revealed as Shakira, Megan and Toni.
And the bottom three boys in the firing line were Ben, Harry and Remell.
Shockingly, Megan and Remell received the least votes from the public and were then immediately dumped from the villa.

But Love Island fans have now got a theory about why Megan was the one to be dumped from the villa out of the girls.
They think because of the public turning on Megan over the last few days, bosses were keen to see the Irish beauty leave the villa.
Taking to social media, one said: "I'm guessing the producers didn't like Megan.
"I bet they wouldn't have allowed the other Megan to go, had she been bottom.

"Sometimes they let the public votes decide other times they let the Islanders choose... either way it's very very manipulated."
Another echoed this "Basically the producers were happy to let Megan go, otherwise they'd have had the Islanders pick.
Seething Love Island fans slam 'vile' Ben and demand he's axed in public vote after explosive row with Yasmin
"They would've 100% saved Megan.
"I think they wanted to get rid of her once they saw her unhinged and abusive behaviour.

This week's drama in the villa saw Megan finally confirm that she and Tommy were over, after spending recent days ramping up her connection with rugby lad Conor.
No sooner had she told a delighted Conor about the development, he suggested they spend the night in the hideaway.
The explosive move came after they shared two snogs on the Terrace behind smitten Tommy Bradley's back, infuriating fans.
Megan and Tommy had seemed to be one of the dating show's most secure couples until this week, when her head was turned by Conor - sparking other Islanders to brand the situation 'wife swap'.

Fans also turned on 'nasty' Megan after she gleefully called Conor and Tommy's row over her "brilliant".

Police assessing videos of Kneecap and Bob Vylan's Glastonbury performances
Police are assessing videos of comments made by acts Bob Vylan and Kneecap at Glastonbury to decide whether any offences may have been committed. Rapper Bobby Vylan, of rap punk duo Bob Vylan, led crowds on the festival's West Holts Stage in chants of: 'Free, free Palestine' and: 'Death, death to the IDF', before a member of Irish rap trio Kneecap suggested fans 'start a riot' outside his bandmate's upcoming court appearance. In a post on social media, Avon and Somerset Police said: 'We are aware of the comments made by acts on the West Holts Stage at Glastonbury Festival this afternoon. 'Video evidence will be assessed by officers to determine whether any offences may have been committed that would require a criminal investigation.' Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy has spoken to the BBC director general about Bob Vylan's performance, a Government spokesperson said. They added: 'We strongly condemn the threatening comments made by Bob Vylan at Glastonbury. 'The Culture Secretary has spoken to the BBC Director General to seek an urgent explanation about what due diligence it carried out ahead of the Bob Vylan performance, and welcomes the decision not to re-broadcast it on BBC iPlayer.' A BBC spokesperson said: 'Some of the comments made during Bob Vylan's set were deeply offensive. During this live stream on iPlayer, which reflected what was happening on stage, a warning was issued on screen about the very strong and discriminatory language. We have no plans to make the performance available on demand.' Kneecap, who hail from Belfast, have been in the headlines after member Liam Og O hAnnaidh, who performs under the name Mo Chara, was charged with a terror offence. In reference to his bandmate's upcoming court date, Naoise O Caireallain, who performs under the name Moglai Bap, said they would 'start a riot outside the courts', before clarifying: 'No riots just love and support, and support for Palestine.' In the run-up to the festival at Worthy Farm in Somerset, several politicians called for Kneecap to be removed from the line-up and Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said their performance would not be 'appropriate'. During the performance Caireallain said: 'The Prime Minister of your country, not mine, said he didn't want us to play, so f*** Keir Starmer.' He also said a 'big thank you to the Eavis family' and said 'they stood strong' amid calls for the organisers to drop them from the line-up. O hAnnaidh, 27, wore a keffiyeh during the set, while member JJ O Dochartaigh, who performs under the name DJ Provai, wore his signature tri-coloured balaclava as well as a T-shirt that said: 'We are all Palestine Action', in reference to the soon-to-be banned campaign group. News broadcasts criticising the hip hop trio played from the sound system before they walked onto the stage were booed by the Glastonbury Festival audience. The trio opened with the song Better Way To Live from their 2024 album Fine Art and also performed tracks including Get Your Brits Out and Hood. Access to the area around the West Holts Stage was closed around 45 minutes before their performance after groups of fans arrived to form a sea of Irish and Palestinian flags. Earlier on Saturday, the BBC confirmed they would not be live-streaming the set but said the performance is likely to be made available on-demand later. O hAnnaidh was charged with allegedly displaying a flag in support of proscribed terrorist organisation Hezbollah, while saying 'up Hamas, up Hezbollah' at a gig in November last year. On June 18, the rapper was cheered by hundreds of supporters as he arrived with bandmates O Caireallain and O Dochartaigh at Westminster Magistrates' Court in Free Mo Chara T-shirts. He was released on unconditional bail until the next hearing at the same court on August 20. Saturday night's Pyramid Stage headliner, Neil Young and The Chrome Hearts, opened with the song Sugar Mountain, with Young saying 'thank you folks' to the crowd as the song ended. The set list, drawing heavily from live album Live Rust, included songs Be The Rain, When You Dance I Can Really Love, Cinnamon Girl and Hey Hey, My My (Into the Black), with lyrics that reference Johnny Rotten, the stage name of Sex Pistols's John Lydon. Young, 79, played the track Looking Forward, by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, telling the audience: 'I just want you to know that tonight, Hank Williams' guitar is here.' Prior to that, Harvest Moon prompted a singalong with festivalgoers swaying and holding their phones in the air. Other songs included Sun Green, Love and Only Love, Like a Hurricane and classic track Old Man, from 1972 album Harvest, and an encore saw Young return to close the headline set out with Rockin' in the Free World and Throw Your Hatred Down. Charli XCX's performance on the Other Stage saw US singer Gracie Abrams perform the viral Apple dance. As the song began, the British pop star said: 'Who the f*** is gonna be Apple girl, Glastonbury?' while holding what appeared to be a glass of wine. The 32-year-old played her Partygirl set at Glastonbury Festival last year, but this time the singer is performing on a much bigger stage amid a year that has seen her pick up a slew of awards. Elsewhere at the festival, Haim were revealed as the surprise act on the Park Stage at 7.30pm on Saturday. The band bounced on to the stage in black and silver outfits and tore into a raucous version of hit single The Wire. After the song, singer Danielle Haim said: 'On our first album, we came to Glastonbury and we played the Park Stage, I love you, and it was the best show I had ever played, until now, this tops everything.' The band was revealed as the surprise act with a red LED sign, similar to the one on their new LP I Quit, which was released earlier this year. The sign read 'the Haim show is about to begin'. Haim also dipped into some of their best-known songs, such as Summer Girl, Want You Back and one of their latest singles, Relationships. On the Pyramid Stage, Pulp were revealed to be Patchwork with the Sheffield-formed Britpop band paying homage to their breakthrough 1995 stand-in headline set during the performance.

Kate Garraway says it's 'tough to balance the budget' amid £800k debts
Kate Garraway has said it's 'tough to balance the budget' after previously admitting she's been left with up to £800K in debt following the death of her husband, Derek Draper. Kate Garraway says it's tough to 'balance the budget' after racking up between £500,000 and £800,000 of debt while caring for her late husband, Derek Draper. Talking at the King's Trust Awards with TK Maxx and Homesense, the Good Morning Britain presenter said of the cost of care, 'It's definitely tough to balance the budget, I feel like carers often don't have a voice so I'm here to shout about it and the costs that go unnoticed. "I wouldn't want to be the chancellor right now with the costs going on overall right now.' Broadcaster Kate, 48, cared for her husband Derek for four years as he suffered from an agonising health battle after contracting Covid-19 in 2020 and being left with long Covid, with the family faced with sky high costs to look after him. 'Derek's care costs more than my salary from ITV and that is before you pay for a mortgage, before you pay any household bills, before you pay for anything for the kids, so we are at a crunch point,' Kate said before Derek's passing. Kate returned to work on Good Morning Britain weeks after Derek's death in January last year, and has since been an advocate for carers across the country. 'I think some people are probably a bit tired of me going on about carers and the lack of support, but I won't because they need a voice,' said Kate. The broadcaster has been supported by several of her colleagues amid the difficult time, and detailed her close relationship with former co-presenter Ben Shephard. 'Ben and I are great friends, I always see him in the studio on Thursdays because I'm in for GMB and he's in for This Morning, so it's lovely. He's actually not happy with me right now because we've been meaning to go for lunch and haven't yet. I owe him a lunch!' Hot off the heels of visiting Buckingham Palace a day prior to the King's Trust Awards, Kate said she was grateful to His Majesty for his continued support of her. 'The king has a very charming personality and he's always been so kind to me. He's looking really well and healthy too, which was really nice to see,' shared Kate. 'The Kings Trust Awards is always a very special occasion and now Good Morning Britain is part of an award too so I feel like I can get involved anymore,' she explained, referencing the show's involvement in the volunteer of the year award, which was won by Nabilla Zulfiqar. The King's Trust Awards, which began in recognise young people who have improved their own chances in life and had a positive impact on their local community.

Traitors star Harry Clark is tipped as next King of the Jungle, as the former Army helicopter engineer sets his sights on I'm a Celeb
He scooped £95,000 after brilliantly but ruthlessly betraying his best friend in the second series of The Traitors. Now Harry Clark has his sights set on another reality TV prize – being crowned I'm A Celebrity 's King of the Jungle. The former Army helicopter engineer is being tipped to join the line-up of this year's ITV show, where he might feel at home among the venomous critters of the Australian rainforest, given that he admitted his treachery on Claudia Winkleman 's BBC programme made him something of a 'snake'. Asked if he was going to be in this year's cohort, the master of misdirection would only say: 'Who knows? I might be but I wouldn't be able to say if I was.' But the 24-year-old told The Mail on Sunday: 'I do like all the snakes and spiders and stuff – I would be really good in the jungle.' If he did go down under, he would be following in the footsteps of a long list of reality stars, including Made in Chelsea 's Georgia Toffolo and Sam Thompson and X Factor's Stacey Solomon – all of whom went on to win the show. With Clark's masterful playing of The Traitors making him a viewers' favourite, he would be a frontrunner to take the title too. Nearly 7 million people watched him land the Traitors prize in 2024, after hoodwinking Mollie Pearce into thinking they were both 'Faithfuls' about to split the prize money. The model, 23, did not do too badly from being stabbed in the back by her closest friend on the show, as it led to her own appearance on another ITV reality show, Dancing On Ice. She later forgave him for his double-crossing. In the past year, Clark has quit his Army job to become a media personality, presenting segments of the BBC's One Show and appearing in shows such as Pilgrimage. His popularity among viewers has made him attractive to brands and he makes the £31,000 he used to earn in the Army every year in two months pushing products on Instagram and TikTok. Despite his riches, Clark still lives with his mother, an NHS nurse, and his father, a baggage handler at Heathrow, and his five siblings in a council house in Slough. He paid off his parents' small debts with the Traitors' prize money and invested the remainder in a high-interest investment account. He said: 'I also took everyone, seven of us, on holiday to Portugal. My family hadn't been away since 2010. 'It was probably the first moment after the show that I patted myself on the back.'
