Iain Stirling revealed the incredible comeback and The Sun understands the pair entered the villa last night.
The public previously turned on Megan after she dumped Tommy for Conor in her final few days.
Now, since Megan's villa exit, Shakira and Conor have grown close.
And angry fans have accused bosses of bringing Megan back to jeopardise the romantic connection that Shakira and Conor currently have.
One person wrote: 'At this point LI is bullying Shakira… the girl has been going through it, soon as she has a little high they help bring her back down.'
A second penned: 'Production clearly has it out for Shakira,' and a third echoed: 'At this point, just say you don't want Shakira to win.'
Fans have speculated that Meg's return is all part of a game plan to stop Shakira from winning, by disrupting what she has with Conor.
And they also think show bosses are pushing for either Meg or Helena to win the show.
And some fans have taken to X to say they've complained to Ofcom about Megan's return as a result, adding 'we voted her off for a reason.'
Love Island fans 'work out' the THIRD star to be dumped after cruel twist as they claim girl is doomed
One person penned: 'Filed an OFCOM complaint against love island, this show deserves to be cancelled. I'm soooo serious!!!'
Someone else penned: 'Submitting my first OFCOM complaint now that they've bought Meg back.'
A third echoed: 'Production doing everything to stand in Shakira's way. Filing an IPSO.'
Megan said before heading back to Love Island: "I'm excited to go back in, I think I left quite abruptly and I'm going back in for some clarity.
"It was an easy decision to make. When you can't speak to people for a couple of weeks and have to watch them on telly every night, you want some answers."
The announcement came shortly after Maya Jama returned to dump a couple from the island.
Islanders were ordered to line up in their couples as Maya announced the results of the latest public vote for their favourite boy and girl.
Maya revealed the bottom three girls were Billykiss, Emma, and Angel and the bottom three boys were Boris, Conor, and Harry.
With the fewest votes, Emma and Boris were dumped from the island, ending Casa Amor's most talked-about comeback and Love Island's biggest love triangle.
Both Emma and Boris had entered the villa as Casa Amor bombshells.

‘I've taken to sleeping in my teeth' – the wartime admissions of T.S. Eliot
In 1944, T.S. Eliot is 56 years old. He seems older: 'I am getting to be a wambling old codger.' He is war-worn: 'I have taken, when in London, to sleeping in my teeth.' As a fire-watcher sharing shifts, his sleep is hampered by understandable pudeur: 'I haven't got enough phlegm to undress completely, and I think it best to sleep in my truss, in case of sudden blasting, which is not very comfortable.' He knows, too, that his letters are dull. To Anne Ridler, 19 June 1942, he confesses: 'If I had any small gift for letter writing, it has been ruined years ago by the pressure of the kind of correspondence I have to practise most of the time.' Namely, the business letter, where you can see Eliot now and then resorting to the formulaic. For example, touching on the prose poem, he says: 'Years ago I did a little of the sort myself but was never able to persuade myself that the result was more than just a note for a poem to be written.' A year later, he is rejecting the poems of Kay Dick: 'The effect is rather of notes for poems or notes for something, rather than of poems. And a few months after that he is applying the formula to D.H. Lawrence, who 'wrote a kind of free verse, but it seems to me to be mostly notes for poems'. In January 1944, Eliot turns down the poems of Michael Burn (of whom more in a moment): 'I should call them notes for poems than poems.' Now and then, very rarely, these rejection letters sound a note of pained asperity. To one Arthur Sale, Eliot is momentarily incontinent, in his measured way: 'One is ready to concede admiration, rather than put oneself to the torture of reading to the end.' And he closes, stingingly: 'I have never read poetry that irritated me more than yours, and it would irritate me if there was nothing in it.' The editorial annotation tells us that poor savaged Sale later went on to teach at Magdalene College, Cambridge, where his pupils included Michael Hofmann and Bamber Gascoigne. Of course, Eliot – ever compliant, exhausted by good works, school prize-givings, readings for wartime causes, endless theological faffing and fussing, broadcasts to India and servitude to the British Council – could occasionally ironise the public man he had become. To Mary Trevelyan (29 June 1942): I ought to have explained to you long ago that I had an Irish grandmother, of a respextable [sic] family founded by a man who tried to steal the Crown Jewels. This accounts for a good deal but is far from being the whole story. In my father's family is a hereditary taint, going back for centuries, which expresses itself in an irresistible tendency to sit on committees. A rare frisk. John Haffenden's footnote tells us that Eliot's mother believed she was descended from Thomas Blood (1618-80) who tried to steal the Crown Jewels in 1671. These spectacularly unspectacular letters are salvaged by the footnotes. For example, we learn that Michael Burn was bisexual, slept with Guy Burgess, met Hitler at a Nuremberg rally, was briefly persuaded of 'the values of National Socialism' but later became a communist after witnessing poverty in the Barnsley coalfields. He joined the commandos and was wounded and captured during the raid on St Nazaire in 1942. He was awarded the MC and sent to Colditz. There, he was the recipient of an aid package from a Dutch one-time lover, Ella van Heemstra. On his release from Colditz, he sent her food and cigarettes. She sold the cigarettes to buy penicillin to save the life of her 'ill and undernourished daughter – the future actress Audrey Hepburn'. Gossip. Top gossip: 70 per cent proof. Three more footnotes. On a British Council trip to Sweden, Eliot stayed with Sir Victor Mallet at the British Legation. Haffenden has read Mallet's unpublished memoirs, of which this is an extract: T.S. Eliot pursued his quiet way with the Swedish Pen Club and other intellectual bodies and achieved an outstanding success. We were much amused when he came home late one evening from one of these parties, his cheeks covered with lipstick from being embraced by a number of enthusiastic Swedish girls after reading his poetry. F.R. Leavis secures Eliot's help in preserving Scrutiny, which is threatened by the paper restrictions. In a letter of thanks, Leavis adds: P.S. Ralph, my small son, looks forward to seeing you again. He said to his mother at bedtime after you had gone last Whitsun: 'Now I only want to meet Mr Shakespeare.' What we want, fervently, from letters is the authentic, unofficial version of events and people – indiscretion. Here, the widow of the American literary critic Irving Babbitt is trying to edit the correspondence between Babbitt and his late colleague Paul Elmer More. She complains to Eliot that More's widow has redacted everything of interest from her husband's side of the correspondence. The following –another footnote – is from a letter to Valerie Eliot about her husband, dated 20 February 1972, written by Dr Elizabeth Wilson, the daughter of a Surrey GP whom Eliot had consulted 'at some time in the 1940s': After tea we invited him to join us for a swim. He had no costume but a very antique ladies model (navy wool, to be tied round his waist by an old tie) was found & we walked to a nearly artificial lake, at one time properly dredged as a swimming pool but by then pretty muddy & well supplied with tadpoles. There were, of course, no changing facilities, only bushes. Mr Eliot never expressed by word or expression, any dismay – he appeared to quietly enjoy himself although I always wondered whether he was aware that the moths had feasted on the posterior of his borrowed garment. This seems worth much more than the clunky, jaundiced repudiation by Eliot of his own literary output: 'The structure of the play [The Family Reunion] is very defective theatrically.' He can't bear to re-read his critical prose. The unrevised The Use of Poetry is 'one of my works with which I had the least cause to be satisfied'. The moth-eaten cossie trumps this bogus, high-fallutin' incitement to endless hermeneutics: 'I don't know whether there is any 'complete understanding' of a poem that has any depth to it.' Think of a very good poem like W.H. Auden's 'Musée des Beaux Arts', the fall of Icarus representing the world's indifference to individual tragedy – easily understandable and profound nevertheless. Eliot is merely hiking the price on his own sometimes difficult poems. And personally I would prefer to hear about Stephen Spender's elastic stocking for his varicose veins; or Eliot's delight when the Chinese minister of information addresses Spender as 'Steve'; or about the (incomprehensible) message from William Blake conveyed by Mrs Millington, Eliot's blind masseuse; or the survival of Omar Pound's bombed stamp collection; or about Winston Churchill (the grandson) saying grace then standing on his head, rather than read this example of Eliot's prose at its most comatose: I admit frankly this personal difficulty in reading because I know it may be something of which the reader is very much more conscious when presented with a part of the book than he might be if he had the complete work before him and read it from cover to cover. A sentence that is asleep, sounds asleep, before it reaches the full stop. These letters, with their rich annotation and the intimate correspondence with Emily Hale, are the real biography of Eliot. We don't need Peter Ackroyd's off-the-cuff impressions and cavalier opinions. Nor Robert Crawford's numbly industrious two-volume biography and its dour judgments. The life of the life is here – in its dullness, in its detail, in its attention to the very texture of Eliot's existence. The boredom and the horror and the glory.

Love Island star Yasmin suffers heartbreak just days after leaving villa
Love Island star Yasmin found love with now-boyfriend Jamie and they finished third on the ITV2 reality show but she has been dealt with heartbreak just days later Love Island's Yasmin Pettet has been dealt with heartbreak just days after leaving the villa. The reality star, 24, made it to the final of the latest series of the ITV2 reality dating show, and finished in third place with now-boyfriend Jamie Rhodes but just days after the programme drew to a close, she has revealed that her cat Miaow Miaow passed away while she was filming. On Wednesday, she wrote on a black background on her Instagram story: "As I've spoken about her on the show I'm sure a lot of you will know I have a cat called miaow miaow who's been by my side for 11 years now. When I was filming Love Island I had a bad gut feeling something was off and when my mum and sister came into the villa I asked them and still felt like something was off." Revealing that her family chose not to tell of her of the tragedy at the time and she was informed by her sister once filming had finished, she added: "Rightfully they didn't tell me because I was still in the villa but after the final I called my sister and she told me that miaow miaow had cancer and died whilst I was away filming Love Island." It comes after Love Island fans fume as third place couple announced as Yas and Jamie. The commercial banking executive assured her fans that she was trying to keep up with her social media as much as possible but also explained to her near-350,000 followers that she needs time to deal with the 'heartbreak' she has had to endure. She added: "I'm trying to be as active as I can on socials, but am taking time for myself to process this heartbreak., RIP to my beautiful baby girl, you were so loved and will always be in my soul." Yasmin's feline friend had been mentioned several times during her time in the Love Island villa, and her fans flooded social media as they sent her their sympathy. Many had been moved to tears by the news, and one admitted: "Yasmin sharing the news that her cat passed away whilst in the villa is actually the most gut-wrenching thing I could imagine and my heart is breaking for her imagine being so excited to see her miaow miaow and her baby isn't there anymore." Clearly shocked at the news after the cat had been a topic of conversation during the Meet the Family segment on the show, one said: "I'm crying cos she straight away asked her mum and sister how Miaow miaow was when they visited the villa and they had to lieeeeeeeee," whilst another viewer said: "Nooo Yasmins cat Miaow Miaow died while she was in the villa and she was talking about how excited she was for Jamie to meet her." Another fan wrote: "Not the icon miaow miaow passing away. It was Yasmin's cat from love island that died while she was in the villa." Despite the sad news, Yasmin's first post upon exiting the villa spoke of her positive experience on the show, and she thanked some of her co-stars throughout her time in the competition. She wrote: "My love island journey has been crazy to say the least but I really wouldn't have been able to do it without my Jamie, Toni and Shakira. I feel so grateful and blessed and can't wait to see what the future holds." When she and her significant other were announced as the third place couple, were not overly impressed that they had finished behind Harry and Shakira before Cach and Toni claimed the £50,000 prize. One user said on X/ Twitter: "Not my winners third," while another person: "Harry sneaking to top 2 over yas and jamie someone hand me a gun." One disappointed fan commented: "I'm lowkey shocked yas and jamie are 3rd." "Yas and Jamie 3rd place???? Can the UK do anything right," one said and one posted: "I wasn't expecting yas and jamie as 3rd actually." Meanwhile, Angel and Ty were announced as the fourth place couple. The two are now 'exclusive', with Ty said: "It's definitely going in the right direction," before adding he was looking forward to the outside world with her.

The couple met and got together while appearing on Love Island in 2019. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 3 Tommy Fury shared snaps of his sunny holiday in Turkey Credit: Instagram 3 It includes a sweet photo with Molly-Mae and daughter Bambi Credit: Instagram 3 The couple welcomed Bambi back in 2023 Credit: Instagram In 2023, the pair welcomed a new addition - daughter Bambi - into the world. Taking to Instagram, Tommy shared a series of snaps from the trio's sunny holiday in Turkey - including one of them all cosied up. He captioned: "One of the best trips ever." One follower commented: "These photos are so special." Another added: "Bambi looks sooo happy as do you all, lovely pics." A third shared: "Good seeing you back where you belong lad." It comes as Molly-Mae revealed why Tommy doesn't feature in her YouTube vlogs. Fans had claimed that Molly's sister Zoe, 28, is more of a father figure due to her regular appearance in the videos. Molly-Mae explained: "I've seen so many comments saying 'Zoe is more the dad' I only vlog when I am not with Tommy, I am with Tommy literally 80% of the week and he is with Bambi majority of the week. "But I vlog when we are here and he is at his because it's just something that I am not ready to like open up with yet and like flinging the camera around like when we're a family. Molly-Mae admits real reason she's not filming with Tommy Fury after breaking down in tears on camera "I just think like we're not there yet and still figuring out life and living situations. I'm not ready to vlog like we used to." The couple only recently confirmed their reunion after splitting last August. Their relationship story featured in Molly's recent Amazon documentary where she talked about their New Year's Eve kiss, which began feverish speculation that they were back together. They are now working hard to put past cheating allegations and Tommy's alcohol-fuelled partying problems behind them. A source previously told us: 'It sounds extreme, but Molly feels much more reassured when Tommy checks in. "It all helps with trust, honesty and transparency between the two of them. 'Tommy dutifully phones Molly the minute that he arrives anywhere. 'And then she likes him to also show her where he is. 'This has been going on for months now, and Tommy's friends are impressed that he has agreed to it whole-heartedly.'
