Someone else said: 'Remell is playing a game he knew what would've happened if he recoupled.' And a third added: 'Wowwwwww! I really thought he was picking Poppy. This guy is really playing a game.'

Love Island's brutal sleepover twist ends in tears as FOUR contestants are sent packed from the villa
Things got emotional in the Love Island villa on Wednesday night, as four contestants were dumped after the dramatic sleepover twist. This week saw Emily, Helena, Remell and Dejon being whisked away from the main villa to enjoy a sleepover with four new bombshells, Giorgio, Poppy, Will and Caprice. After several romantic connections were sparked over a racy game of truth or dare, host Maya Jama shocked the Islanders the following day as she made a surprise arrival to the second villa. She warned the group: 'Actions have consequences' before asking: 'Having some time away has allowed you to explore new connections but are these connections stronger than what you have with your current partner?' The original four contestants were then tasked with deciding if they wanted to recouple with one of the bombshells or stick in their current couples, while the main villa gathered at the firepit to await their decisions. Helena ended up the only one to deciding to recouple, choosing account manager and brother of footballer Alessia Russo - Giorgio, 30, over her villa partner Shea. After several romantic connections were sparked over a racy game of truth or dare, host Maya Jama shocked the Islanders the following day as she made a surprise arrival to the second villa However, she admitted to Emily earlier in the day that despite being attracted to Giorgio, she was still pining for former flame Harry. While Emily herself decided to stick with her partner Conor, after confessing there was 'no spark' with personal trainer Will. Meanwhile, Dejon ultimately decided to stay with Meg, despite sharing a kiss with Caprice in the previous night's game and rating the smooch 10/10. However, he later confessed: 'What me and Caprice have could be something good, but what me and Meg have is something special.' While Remell also looked as though he may have had his head turned, after striking up a connection with Poppy, and a kiss. When quizzed by Dejon who he would chose between partner Alima and Poppy, he had previously admitted it would be Poppy. He confessed to his pal: 'I'm loving the chats with Poppy, flirty, chill…I don't want to leave with regrets which is why I'm giving Poppy the time of day.' But when it came to decision time, Remell decided to stay with Alima, leaving both Poppy and Helena stunned. While in the main villa, Meg and Alima celebrated the news, Shea was left in tears after receiving a text that declared that Helena's recoupling had left him single and therefore dumped from the island. He emotionally packed his bags and said his goodbyes to the teary-eyed Islanders as he was sent home alongside the single bombshells, Poppy, Caprice and Will. While Conor was left conflicted over Emily's decision to stick with him, after he had his own head turned by Megan during the time she had been gone. Tuesday's episode had seen Megan and Conor share two kisses on the terrace, which led to the end of her romance with Tommy. And on Wednesday, she was quick to ask him how he would 'deal with the Emily situation'. He replied: 'I'll just tell her, "You know, you've been away a couple of days and you knew I was getting to know Megan and we had a kiss on the terrace".' Megan said: 'She's not going to expect that at all… I don't think she expects it from me.' Trying to remain hopeful, she added: 'For all you know, she could come back with one of those two boys… that would make it easier.'

Four dumped Love Island stars revealed as mass dumping rocks the villa
LOVE Island has revealed which four islanders have been dumped from the villa. Tonight's nail biting episode saw Maya Jama enter the sleepover villa, where she had some big news for Helena, Dejon, Emily and Remell. 5 5 5 In a shock twist, Maya told them that they have to decide if they want to stick in their current couple or recouple with a bombshell. 'Having some time away has allowed you to explore new connections, but are these connections stronger than what you have with your current partner?' she said. The foursome then had to decide whether they head back to the villa alone, or with one of the newcomers, Giorgio, Will, Poppy and Caprice. In the end, only Helena decided to recouple and opted to go back with Giorgio. Dejon decided to stick with Meg, despite kissing Caprice during his time at the sleepover villa. Remell hesitated but chose to stick with Alima, even though he told Poppy earlier he felt different with her and they shared a snog. That left Emily, who opted to stay with Conor- unaware of his growing connection with Megan back in the main villa - over new boy Will. As a result of Helena's decision, Shea found himself single and a text back to the original villa broke the news. The four islanders going home were Shea, as well as three of the bombshells: Poppy, Caprice and Will. While Helena was the only one to recouple, she has admitted she is still pining for Harry. Chatting with Emily before having to make her decision, she told her she was attracted to Giorgio but was still thinking about Harry. Earlier in the evening, it had looked like Remell and Dejon might be swayed by the new girls too. During a game of Truth or Dare, Dejon dared Remell to kiss an islander of his choice and he plumped for Poppy. Poppy then kissed Dejon after being dared to smooch the person she's most attracted to other than the person she chose. 5 5 When Dejon was later dared to kiss the Islander he's most attracted to, he locked lips with Caprice and they both rated the smooch 10/10. When quizzed by Dejon who he would chose between Alima and Poppy, Remell paused for a few moments and then opted for Poppy. asks Remell who he would choose between Alima and Poppy if there was a recoupling and he hesitates but says Poppy. And in a subsequent talk with his pal round the firepit, Remell went on to confess: 'I'm loving the chats with Poppy, flirty, chill…I don't want to leave with regrets which is why I'm giving Poppy the time of day.' Dejon responded: 'You've got to look long term… whoever you see a long term future with, that's the one you pursue.' On his own love triangle after snogging Caprice, Dejon said: 'What me and Caprice have could be something good, but what me and Meg have is something special.' Later that night, Remell pulled Poppy for a chat. 'I've been comfy around you, it's the first time in the Villa that I've felt like this so it's telling me something," he told her before they snogged again. So it came as something of a shock when he eventually chose to stick with Alima instead.

Viewers thought this was an instant sign that he wished the blonde stunner had picked him over Toni. Taking to X/Twitter, one said: "Harrison looking over at Helena! He so wants to be with he not Toni!" Another added: "I see you looking at Helena, Harrison! Poor Toni!" This one said: "Harrison needs to man up. He is not settling for Toni. Out of the two of them he wants Helena that little bit more." Another sign that Harrison could be wanting to make a play for Helena was because, straight after the recoupling, he clarified with Toni that the pair of them are "still open" to talking to other people. Watch the VERY awkward moment Helena completely blanks Harry and Shakira in dramatic recoupling - did you spot it AWKWARD MOMENT It wasn't the best night for Helena, who found herself having to couple up with Shea after she split with Harry and he went off with Shakira.

Love Island fans go wild over new couples as they joke one Islander looks like he's 'being held captive' by partner following dramatic recoupling
Love Island fans were left in stitches on Monday night, as the villa was shaken up once again with a dramatic new recoupling. The latest episode saw the group gathered around the famous firepit, with the girls given the choice of which boy they wanted to couple up. The new couples that emerged were Toni and Harrison, Meg and Dejon, Shakira and Harry, Yasmin and Ben, Alima and Remell, Megan and Tommy, Helena and Shea and Emily and Conor. And while some of the couples were overjoyed to be together, fans couldn't help but notice that one Islander looked less than excited by his match, claiming he looked 'fuming' and 'depressed'. After being coupled up with Shea, previously going after Dejon and sharing a secret smooch with Harry, Yasmin, 24, chose to couple up with Ben, 23, on Monday. The commercial banking executive said in her speech: 'I think although it's early days, when I have conversation with this person I feel like he just gets me. 'I came here to explore romantic connections and I think I'm really looking forward to exploring this one.' However, viewers declared the duo 'the most random coupling ever' and that Ben was 'afraid' of Yasmin, quipping he looked like he was 'being held captive'. They took to social media to react, writing: 'I'm so sorry but Ben looked so scared to walk up to sit down next to Yasmin'; 'Ben is not feeling Yasmin at all'. 'yasmin and ben are KILLING MEEEE i think they might be the maddest couple i've ever seen both laughing at how random it is, i kind of love it'; 'Ben looks depressed'. 'Ben looks like he's being held captive by Yasmin right now hahahahahahah this love island is so ridiculous this year'; 'even just the idea of yasmin and ben is killing me'. 'Ben looks like he's afraid of Yasmin'; 'Ben and Yasmin might be the most random coupling ever, they have nothing in common'; 'Feel like Ben's going to fight with YasGPT soon'. Meanwhile, the episode ended with a huge cliffhanger, after Emily, Helena, Dejon and Remell were told there was a car waiting for them outside the villa to whisk them away for a cheeky sleepover with four new bombshells. And among the new sexy singletons is Arsenal and England footballer Alessia Russo 's brother Giorgio Russo, 30. The account manager, from Maidstone, lives in Sydney - but is ready to find The One in Mallorca, Spain. Speaking about his upcoming stint on Love Island, he said: 'I'm excited, it's given me a really good opportunity to look at things from the outside so I know what I'm going in for.' Opening up about what his famous sibling thinks about him going on the show, he said: 'She's really excited, she watches every year and reckons I can do well so she's excited to see how I get on.' While Will, a 25-year-old personal trainer from Norkfolk, is the second boy taking part in the latest series. Talking about why he wanted to take part, he confessed: 'I'm excited and looking forward to getting in there and speaking to the girls. It's the chance to meet a soulmate, which would be great.' Sharing a fun fact about himself, he said: 'I grew up on the family farm and I was named 4th fittest farmer by Farmers' Weekly in 2023. It's a fitness competition. 'It was good. A bit of a laugh, 4th in the UK is quite cool. I think about 5,000 entered. It raises awareness for mental health as well and helps build a community among young farmers who spend a lot of time in tractors on their own.' Meanwhile dental nurse Poppy, 22, is also hoping that she'll be able to find love in the villa, and declared she's not afraid to go after what she wants. She said: 'I like someone who has big energy but not too big. I love a good sense of humour but I basically need to keep them grounded, but for them to keep me on my toes. I do get bored quickly.' Poppy added: 'I'm a girls' girl but I don't mind causing a bit of drama and getting to know everyone equally. Everyone else would.' Meanwhile nursery owner Caprice, 26, from Romford, is hopeful she can find a meaningful connection - which could end in marriage. Caprice said: 'I'm looking for 90s love. I want a man. A lot of men are quite sassy in this generation. I just want someone that's going to treat me well. 'I'm also looking for a husband. I do feel like I'm getting closer to 30, I want a ring. The streets are cold. The next person I bring home needs to be my husband.' Opening up about her green and red flags, she said: 'I hate arrogant guys.
