Love Island is rocked by shock mass dumping as TWO islanders are left packing - with another couple at risk of being axed in brutal cliffhanger
Andrada Pop and Ben Holbrough were dumped from the villa after being voted the least compatible couple.
Reading out the message from producers, Shakira said: 'Islanders, the public have been voting for the most compatible couple.'
Meg then announced: 'The couple with the fewest votes and therefore have been dumped from the Island is... Andrada and Ben'
The news left the villa shocked as Meg cried out: 'What? Now?!'
In another brutal move, the islanders then received a second text confirming there would be a second dumping.
Shakira Khan and Ty Isherwood were voted the most compatible couple in the villa, leaving them least at risk to be dumped.
As the most compatible couple, Shakira and Ty will have to choose another couple to be dumped - which will be revealed in Tuesday night's episode.
Those at risk of being dumped include Tommy Bradley and Lucy Quinn, Lauren Wood and Harrison, Conor Phillips and Emma Munro.
Before the elimination, Emma revealed what it's like living with Harry as she confessed they 'love' each other.
In a conversation with Andrada at the firepit, she explained: 'I just think it's so hard because we love each other, right?
'That's a really deep kind of love but we're both like "no, we know it doesn't work".'
She continued: 'I don't think there's any point in trying again…
'But I think it's hard for him when I'm here. He can compare… We were supposed to be endgame.
In a brutal move, the islanders then received a second text confirming there would be a second dumping (Meg pictured)
'I think if I was to say to Harry "let's give it another go" he would be definitely open to it.'
As Andrada listened intently, she probed Emma on whether she wants to give it another go with Harry.
Torn, she replied: 'I don't think I can. I can't.'
Meanwhile, the rest of the islanders were left reeling when they discovered Toni and Harrison's secret rendezvous on the Terrace - which reduced Lauren to tears.
Shakira and Yasmin were particularly irked by their antics, and pulled Toni for a chat in the Den.
The girls told the American beauty how they're 'disappointed' as Shakira snapped: 'Where is your self respect?'
Toni told them: 'Because I miss him… I want him back guys.'
When news reaches Lauren, the Casa bombshell confronted him, saying: 'I like you so much and it hurts… I don't want you to get someone else.'

Craig Revel Horwood admits he's been forced to 'mellow' his harsh judging style on Strictly by woke BBC bosses over fears of upsetting contestants
Strictly Come Dancing star Craig Revel Horwood admits he's been forced to 'mellow' his judging style by woke BBC bosses over fears of upsetting contestants. Craig, 60, who's the longest serving judge after 21 years on the panel, has always been the harshest critic but now he ensures every negative comment is followed with a positive to 'encourage' the celebrity cast. The scaling back of his onscreen persona comes after a 'change of dynamic' on the show which in recent years has seen professional dancers Graziano Di Prima and Giovanni Pernice leave the lineup over accusations of bullying. In an exclusive interview with MailOnline, the choreographer says that in today's mainstream culture, he would likely be cancelled for the same deadpan insults he remarked two decades ago. According to Craig, finding the right balance as a man on television can be difficult because comments are often 'misconstrued' and 'taken out of context', especially with Strictly, which is broadcast live on the BBC. This month alone, TV chef Gregg Wallace, 60, was sacked from MasterChef after 45 of 83 allegations made against him including one of unwelcome physical contact were upheld and co-host John Torode, 59, was also axed for using racist language. Craig, who's the longest serving judge after 21 years on the panel, has always been the harshest critic but now he ensures every negative comment is followed with a positive Craig said: 'I have found myself mellowing slightly, especially with the change of dynamic... when you consider what I used to say, I would never be able to say those sorts of things now. 'Back 21 years ago I could be more direct but now what I do is be honest and upfront with the contestants about their routine like I am with anything, I am honest, and with Strictly I am honest but then I will try tag a positive onto the end of it. 'I generally do one point now where it's a negative and a point that's positive just to help them build and grow and give them more confidence.' Craig, who's previously admitted comedians tend to react worst to negative feedback, unlike like sportspeople that thrive on his critic, is adamant he doesn't ramp up his insults for ego's sake and has the competitors' best interests at heart when he's dishing out advice. He added: 'As long as I am honest and not being harsh for effect and telling the truth about the dance then no one can really go against that. 'You will only be cancelled if you're being untoward in that way or doing it for effect or your own personal gain but that isn't my case and never will be. 'Some people don't always agree with what I say, and they get swayed by their own opinion but that's not based on any dance qualifications.' The 2025 series of Strictly Come Dancing is already in full swing as the show's pros have begun rehearsals and their celebrity partners are quietly being signed up. And there's a real reality feel to this year's line-up, with ex-Love Island star Dani Dyer, I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! winner Vicky Pattison and Married At First Sight UK relationship guru Paul C Brunson all reportedly on board. Their involvement confirms a significant change intact from bosses in regard to talent, as historically reality stars were banned from the show until recent years. But Craig is all for the change and he thinks they'll benefit the show by bringing in a younger audience, just like YouTubers and TikTok stars. The Aussie explained: 'It's a good thing we're having more reality stars because the Love Island crowd brings in a new audience. 'If you take Joe Sugg as an example, when he was on the show not many people who are the Strictly Come Dancing demographic audience would know who he is because they're not on YouTube, but he proved to be completely popular and you can understand why he has so many followers and that brings the audience to the show, it's constantly growing in audience numbers and online numbers. 'On Strictly, you get to know the person, rather than what they present to the public, you see them challenged, which is the joy of the show. 'If you didn't know someone like Pete Wicks, you have certainly fallen in love with him and start to follow him and his podcast. He has become a really good friend of mine because of that, I don't make friends with everyone, but he came to see my show at the Union Chapel in Islington, and he loved it. 'I fell in love with Pete through the show and thought he was a great contestant and I look forward this year to meeting more people like that.' The new series will be Craig's 23rd and only himself and host Tess Daly, 56, remain from the show's debut series back in 2004. Asked his secret to his longevity, the judge said: 'To have a long-lasting career on television you have to be honest, be yourself and not only that but always be current. 'You need to keep up with the times and embrace languages because of course over the past 20 years language has changed with text messaging, every year there's a new trend, you have to keep up with the kids. 'I have to talk on Strictly, I'm not up there demonstrating as a teacher, there's no script, so you have to react to what you see. If you react honestly to what you see, then that's the best part.' And following the overnight demise of his fellow BBC stars, Gregg and John, does Craig have any sympathy for those who have been the subject of cancel culture, which also includes Wynne Evans, who competed on the show last year. Craig said: 'It is difficult for anyone on television because you are in the public eye and whatever you say can be misconstrued in several different ways and it can be taken out of context quite often. 'It is important to think about what you are saying and remember that you are standing on a platform that is public, it's really important to treat people with kindness and respect, if you go against that then be it on your head.' Craig has teamed up with Fox's Fabulous Chocolatey biscuits as they bring the first Dubai style pistachio cream filled sweet treat to UK supermarkets. The new range, which is available exclusively in Tesco stores nationwide for six months before launching into all major food stores, hopes to bring the luxuriousness of the viral Dubai chocolate to the UK at an affordable price. And Craig, who's known for being hard to please, has tried and tested the chocolatey biscuit and given his seal of approval, saying: 'As a luxury or with a cup of tea they are absolutely delicious.' The dancer stars in a new video to promote the biscuits, where with one bite of the £2.65 treat, he is transported to the Middle East. Craig said: 'Fox's Fabulous Chocolatey are going to make a killing because the biscuits are only £2.65, and you get the same experience or even better than the Dubai chocolate. Obviously from TikTok there has been an explosion of Dubai chocolate but who can actually afford it?' Speaking about shooting the video, Craig said: 'The campaign is fun because once you have a taste of the chocolate it takes you to a dream state in Dubai where you think that's where you are but in reality, you're sitting in rain with wet washing out and I was sat in a children's pool rather than a hotel one.' Craig, whose family recently visited the UK from Australia to celebrate his milestone 60th birthday, said his mother joined him on the Fox's Chocolatey photoshoot, and also enjoyed tasting the biscuits. He added: 'I bought my mum, and we had such a laugh. We were pretending we were in Dubai, lounging by the pools and eating gorgeous chocolate biscuits. My mum loved them and she's very fussy about chocolate biscuits, so it was a good temperature to know whether they were good or not, but she had at least three of them!'

Tipton singer encourages emerging artists to follow dreams at festival
A singer has encouraged emerging artists to never give up on their dreams, after performing at a Birmingham festival. Czafari, also known as Czarena Brown, started writing music about nine years ago so she could share her love for storytelling with the world. The 26-year-old from Tipton performed at Mostly Jazz, Funk and Soul Festival in July, which was a milestone she "couldn't believe" after DJing at the event in 2021."I remember soaking up the vibes four years ago and thinking, 'I need to be on one of those stages'," she said. Reminiscing about the festival, Czafari said performing on the second stage made her feel "absolutely incredible" and glad that she "kept going" as an independent artist."There's been so many times where I felt like I wanted to give up because it was really slow, I wasn't getting many gig opportunities, and I didn't have the confidence to release music," she said. "I'm really grateful to have this experience and I haven't quit, I'm still going." Czafari said she has had a love for music since she was very young, when she competed in talent competitions and sang at her grandparent's gospel choir."I was probably one of the youngest in the choir but I had a voice so I had to sing," she artist described the performances as "very daunting at the time" but singing has "always been in her bones" and has given her the confidence she has now."Singing has always filled me with joy and as I've got older I've noticed when I sing, my endorphin levels increase and I am happy and more connected to myself," she said. Looking at pictures over the years, it's clear to see that Czafari was not afraid to put on a performance - even at the age of a pink tiara, she sang to her family on Christmas Day with the new guitar, microphone and amp she had received that morning."My parents basically affirmed my passion for music, it made me feel really seen," she said. Czafari released her first EP at the age of 17 and performed at her first event at The Night Owl in Digbeth, Birmingham. Since then, she has produced a second EP and her songs have featured on BBC Glastonbury Festival isn't returning until 2027, performing at Worthy Farm is a milestone she wants to tick off her bucket list. "I watch the performances back and I need to be there. To have that aspiration may sound really big but it's something I want to do, so I'm going to do it," she said.

'People come to Shropshire petal field with outfit changes'
Stretching across a large field in Newport with bees and butterflies zipping through the air, Shropshire Petal Fields boasts rows and rows of delphiniums, cornflowers, sunflowers and is open a week earlier due to an unusually dry spring, and is hoping to welcome more than 16,000 people across the 10 days it is vibrant colours, abundance of wildlife and the installation of photo opportunities - including a claw-foot bathtub - means people flock to the site to take pictures for social media."You see people come with three outfit changes and the kids are bribed with ice cream all the way round to get the family pictures," said Beth Heath from Shropshire Festivals. "We've had a lot of people taking professional pictures, we've had a few proposals."We're all about memories… this makes loads of people smile, and also take a moment." The flowers remain picture perfect because their maintenance does not involve much human interaction - all the planting and weeding is done by a Heath said people travelled to visit the site, drawing in a lot of people particularly from near Wolverhampton who did not get to experience the countryside as often."There is something very special about standing amongst those colours, that smell and being completely immersed in nature," she said. "We loved walking around the flowers and all the props that you could stop and take photos at," said Emily from Shrewsbury, who had visited with her family."We're entertaining the children… we're getting great shots of everybody and the flowers so it will definitely be going on social media later."It's quite a big factor because you're collecting lovely memories, but it's quite tricky getting them to smile on cue," she site offers events catered towards different people - there are dog-friendly days and sunset evenings, as well as picnic opportunities, all of which have Insta-worthy photo opportunities. "It's lovely and the photos are just stunning that you're able to take," said Louise, who lives two miles away."It's nice to come and see so many little ones here, and there's so much wildlife to see on the flowers, all the bees and the butterflies."Meanwhile, Brian and Diane Richards told the BBC they could not believe the location was so close to home."The first time we'd seen pictures but couldn't think where it could be," said Ms Richards."It's hard to believe that's all going to be petals for somebody's wedding at some point," Mr Richards added.
