Love Island viewers were left bemused on Thursday night when Meg Moore chose to confide in 'the council of mug makers' Harry Cooksley and Harrison Solomon about her woes with Dejon-Noel Williams.
The latest episode of the popular ITV2 reality show was drama-filled with tensions running high in the villa, particularly between Meg and Dejon.
They've been coupled up from the beginning of series 12 and seemed largely solid, with the semi-professional footballer referring to her as 'my Meg' on a number of occasions.
But after heading off to Casa Amor, the hunk had his head turned by bombshell Andrada Pop, with the pair admitting there's 'sexual tension' between them during a number of flirty conversations.
Dejon however chose to stay loyal to Meg and return to the villa alone, with the pair elated to at last be together again during Wednesday's recoupling.
Meg was left questioning her relationship with Dejon after bombshell Andrada Pop revealed she had grown close to the hunk in Casa Amor
But the excitement was short-lived as Andrada soon entered the villa alongside Ben Holbrough, with the beauty quick to allude that Dejon hadn't been as loyal as Meg may have hoped for.
'He did say that I'm the best bombshell for him,' Andrada told Meg.
'It wasn't just sexual conversations, we were laughing and getting to know each other'.
It left Meg questioning her connection with Dejon, with the stunner noticeably upset about the situation.
But viewers were left stunned when she turned to Harry and Harrison - who have both enjoyed smooches away from their couples on multiple occasions - for advice during a lonely moment.
Many took to X to express their disillusionment, writing: 'meg going to harry and harrison for relationship advice? the plot has officially been lost',
'Meg crying to Harry 7 Harrison about Dejon is like crying to demons about the devil',
'Meg, your complaining the council of Mug makers,, Harry squared??',
While Harrison sparked up a romance in Casa Amor despite telling Toni he had feelings for her just days earlier
Fans flooded to X to express their disillusionment, with some branding Harry and Harrison the 'council of mug-makers'
'Meg you are asking... Harrison & Harry for advice? When they're worse?',
'Why's Meg asking for Harry and Harrison's opinions. They're just as bad'.
Thursday's episode saw Emily Moran and Giorgio Russo dumped from the villa after being left single during Casa Amor.
The bombshell dumping came after viewers witnessed an explosive argument unfold around the firepit, with Maya Jama blasting Harry and Helena Ford for laughing about his behaviour during their time together.
Harry and Helena were reunited during Wednesday's episode when he surprisingly returned from Casa alone, despite exploring a connection with bombshell Rheo Parnell.
Rheo spilled the tea during the recoupling, letting the islanders know that there were 'kisses in bed, cuddles and all sorts' between her and Harry.
Andrada Pop then pointed out that Harry admitted he 'didn't miss' his couple during Casa, which prompted a surprised and rather unbothered response from the semi-professional footballer and Helena who burst into laughter.
Maya then hit-back at their reaction, saying: 'I don't know, I probably wouldn't find it that funny if I was in a couple with someone like that.'
Moments later the focus shifted to American Toni Laites and Harrison Solomon, who chose to go their separate ways during the recoupling.
After being asked her thoughts on the situation, Toni admitted that she wasn't surprised that Harrison - who has form of doing similar in the villa - returned with a new girl.
It prompted a strange reaction from Ben, who quipped: 'I've just got to give it Harrison, man. What Lauren's been able to give him in three days, you (Toni) haven't been able to in two, three weeks.'
Maya once again hit-back, telling Ben his comment was 'unnecessary'.
Friday's episode is sure to be jampacked full of drama as the islanders settle down for movie night.
