Love Island chaos as second star 'kicked out' after villa twist
Love Island stars have been left reeling as a second contestant has reportedly been given the boot from the villa. Manchester stunner Sophie Lee was shown the door from the ITV2 programme earlier this week - and it seems another Islander is about to follow suit.
During Thursday's episode, Meg Moore receives a text with some juicy news: "Islanders, tonight there will be a recoupling in which the girls will choose which boy they want to couple up with #SpoiltForChoice #VillaVibesAreShifting."
This leaves the lads wondering if they've done enough to secure their spots. American beauty Toni Laites exclaims: "Tables have turned!"
As the boys line up, the girls gear up to make their choices and deliver their first speeches at the Firepit but will they stick with their current partners or have recent events prompted them to shake things up?
However, there's more drama in store for this recoupling as an unexpected extra text lands that takes all the Islanders by surprise. It has been reported that one cast member will be sent packing in scenes set to air on Friday night
This comes hot on the heels of new arrivals Shea Mannings and Remell Mullins, both of whom got first dibs in the villa reshuffle. Scaffolder Shea dropped a bombshell last night when he revealed he's a dad while describing his ideal woman.
The Bristol lad said: "She needs to be bubbly and we need to have that initial spark. She needs to have a nice personality - like I think I have - so that we match together." He shared: "Also, I have a little boy, so I'll be taking him into consideration with who I couple up with, too."
Elsewhere on Thursday night's show, the Islanders watch as Blu and Shakira leave the Hideaway and they have plenty of questions. Blu wastes no time in filling them in on the fact they shared a kiss.
Dejon asks Blu: 'What did you do in there? A chat?' Blu replies: 'No, we had a kiss, I went in for her.' Megan is shocked saying: 'I love the messiness!'
Meanwhile, Harry and Helena are at the mini Firepit and he asks Helena: 'Are we still on for the Hideaway?' But Dejon walks over to tell them the latest…
Dejon says: 'You know he (Blu) kissed her (Shakira)?' Harry replies: 'No he didn't…I don't believe what I'm hearing.'
Elsewhere, Shakira is telling Toni, explaining: 'Blu pulled me for a chat and he went, 'I didn't kiss you in the challenge 'cause I wanted to do it now' and he just leaned in…it was a good kiss but it says a statement, I feel like Ben won't be happy and Harry especially.'
Harry then asks Shakira about the kiss with Blu before telling her: 'All that matters is I want to pursue things with you.' Harry later hears Blu's side of the story, with Blu telling him: 'We had two kisses, where's your head at? It seems to me your with Helena more and flirting?' Harry says: 'I think it's more flirty, but I think Shakira's got more substance.'
Also that evening, Toni and Conor get closer as new bombshell Shea pulls Megan for a chat telling her: 'I wanna get to know you… you seem pretty content?' Megan says: 'I'm happy… I think the boys were shaking when you came in cause they've not felt that, but we have - I think Tommy's shi**ing himself.'
Then, as the Islanders settle in for bed at night Harry and Helena make the decision to action their plan to sneak off to the Hideaway, hoping no one will see them, but it doesn't go quite to plan…
The next morning, the Islanders have questions after Harry and Helena's not-so-secret trip the Hideaway. Helena talks to Shakira telling her: 'I wanted to speak to you 'cause I don't want you to think it was done in a malicious way.' But how will Shakira react?
Harry is also keen to pull Shakira for a chat. Shakira tells him: 'Don't act like you went to the Hideaway cause I kissed someone, you wanted to go…'
And the day isn't over yet. Later, Shakira has a chat with Ben that surprises her - might her head be turned back to the beginning?
