Love Island fans were left raging on Wednesday night as two Islanders were dumped in a savage twist.
New bombshells Bilikis Azeez and Ryan Bannister shook things up in the Mallorcan villa on Tuesday night but were given just 24 hours to make a lasting impression.
In a shock turn of events, the Islanders were faced with a recoupling one day after their arrival, but there was an unlikely twist in store.
Rather than Bilikis and Ryan getting the chance to choose, the existing Islanders were simply told to stand up if they wanted to recouple with one of the bombshells.
Conor Phillips was the only Islander to stand up for Bilikis, leading to their recoupling and making Alima Gagio single - despite her budding connection with Ben Holbrough.
But in another brutal move, none of the coupled up girls stood up for new arrival Ryan, leaving the dejected new bombshell single just 24 hours after his entrance.
Though bombshells are often protected in the first recoupling, Ryan was brutally dumped alongside fan favourite Alima, leaving fans raging and the villa in tears.
Taking to X - formerly known as Twitter - viewers called for 'justice' for Alima and slammed the shocking twist as 'unfair' because Ryan had just entered the villa.
Comments included: 'Justice for Alima'; 'Nah Altima leaving is a cruel injustice…';
'That's not even fair, asking if people want to couple up with them in less than 24 hours?';
'Why didn't Ryan and Billykiss choose, this is so unfair'; 'Justice for Alima!!! Petition to bring her back for Casa';
'Justice for Alima! She deserved better than she got'; 'It literally doesn't make the show any more interesting when they get rid of people after a day.'
Some viewers even argued that Toni Laites should have enacted her revenge on partner Harrison Solomon after his kiss with Helena Ford and stood up for Ryan, leaving him single and dumped.
They fumed: 'WDYM ALIMA GOT DUMPED AND WHY DIDNY TONI STAND UP WE COULDVE GOTTEN HARRISON DUMPED';
Some viewers argued that Toni Laites should have enacted her revenge on partner Harrison Solomon after his kiss with Helena Ford and stood up for Ryan, leaving him single and dumped
'If I was Toni I'd have stepped forward for Ryan and sent Harrison home'; 'I just clocked Toni could of stood up and sent Harrison HOME. Why didn't she?!!!! That would of been a moment';
'She should have recoupled with Ryan, even as friends or pretended to like him, and that rat Harrison would have been out.'
Earlier in the episode, Harrison had left Toni reeling after he snuck off for a secret kiss with Helena.
On Tuesday, Harrison had gone to the terrace with Helena for a smooch while Toni - who he is coupled up with - was out on a date with Ryan.
He confessed to his antics in Wednesday's episode as he told Toni: 'I was just talking with Helena, we had a little chat and we had one kiss…'
Toni was not happy at all and quizzed Harrison on why he never does things in front of her, instead always sneaks off behind her back.
With Toni's birthday the next day, Harrison tried to make things right as he cooked her eggs sunny side up for her breakfast, laying them out alongside some red noses.
Harrison also enlisted the lads to line up to sing happy birthday to her, but Toni savagely used her fork to tear the roses off their stems, hinting all was not forgiven.
She then debriefed with Shakira at the firepit, with her mind made up about how she wanted to handle everything that has gone down.
'Point one - a man who's for everyone is not a man for me. Point two - I did not come all the way here to cry,' she fumed.
'Point three - if you can't make a decision, I'm going to make it for you.'
Toni then invited Harrison to the Terrace to tell him her decision, insisting: 'This is done. You've made your bed. Lie in it.'
It seems he soon regretted his behaviour, as he confided in Conor about how he was feeling, saying: 'I'm sad, that actually hit me harder than I thought, you know...'
Conor - fresh off the back of Megan being dumped from the Island just as he was getting to know her - told him: 'It's probably just a classic case of you don't know what you have until it's gone.'
As well as her kiss with Harrison, Helena has also been flirting with her former partner Harry Cooksley after whispering 'I can't wait to f**k you' in his ear during the heartrate challenge.
Her X-rated remark left Harry's current partner Shakira Khan fuming and she told him he was on 'thin ice', though gave him another chance.
