Bombshell! Love Island ‘s Casa Amor recoupling proved to be the show’s most dramatic yet, as Jacques O’Neill was left with egg on his face when his infidelities were exposed by bombshell Cheyanne Kerr
The jaw-dropping episode kicked off with Laura asking all the new girls are asked to stand up while the Villa boys sat around the firepit, and the host announced: ‘As you all know, tonight there will be a recoupling. Boys – each of you have a big decision to make.
‘So I’m gonna ask you one by one if you want to stick with your partner who has been away in Casa Amor for the past few days, or whether you want to recouple with one of these gorgeous girls standing in front of you.
‘Now remember, the girls in Casa Amor have also been given the choice of whether to stick with you or couple up with someone new. So boys, it’s time to make your decisions and let’s find out what the girls have decided to do…’
Hitting back: Despite choosing to stick with Paige Thorne, the hunk’s behaviour was revealing in scatching fashion, with Cheyanne quipping that ‘her version of a test was different to someone else’s’ before revealing they’d kissed and shared a bed
HUGE decision! The jaw-dropping episode kicked off with Laura asking all the new girls are asked to stand up while the Villa boys sat around the firepit
Jay was up first, and given he was in a friendship couple with Danica, it was no surprise the hunk chose to recouple with Chyna, telling Laura: ‘I fee like I’ve had a connection with someone that has more romantic potential, and she’s a beautiful girl and I’m looking forward to seeing where this could go.’
Returning to the villa, Danica revealed she’d chosen to recouple with Josh, admitting it could be the connection ‘she’s been waiting for.’
Luckily the two pals were more than happy for one another finding a new partner, with Danica telling Laura she hoped that Jay would couple up with someone else.

Up next was Davide, who struggled to stay loyal to Ekin-Su, kissing multiple girls in the villa, and despite the temptation to couple up with someone else, the Italian hunk admitted he was choosing to stick with her.
He told Laura: ‘I had a good time getting to know all the girls but I believe with this person I’ve got a unique connection, I feel like we magnetically connect with each other, so I have decided to stick with my couple.’
Luckily for Davide, Ekin-Su stood by her word and remained loyal, returning to the villa solo, and she confessed her feelings for him have grown during their time apart.

She said: ‘It’s good to be back with someone I can laugh with, and bounce with,’ while a coy Davide joked he’d missed her ‘a tiny bit.’

Jawdropper! He told Laura: ‘Me being true to myself and I feel this Love Island experience is about exploring connections… and Summer isn’t over yet,’ before announcing his decision to recouple
Stunned: As Dami confirmed he would be recoupling with someone else, Ekin-Su couldn’t contain her shock
He said WHAT? Danica was equally aghast, given the girls had presumed that Dami would stay loyal
He told Laura: ‘Me being true to myself and I feel this Love Island experience is about exploring connections… and Summer isn’t over yet,’ before announcing his decision to recouple.
Despite himself choosing a new girl, Dami couldn’t hide his shock as Indiyah returned to the villa with Deji Adeniyi.
‘I did have a connection but I thought that I needed to follow my head and I’m glad that I did,’ she said, while a visibly upset Dami said he is happy for her.
Indiyah added that she had seen Dami’s true colours and ‘may the best heartbreaker win.’

Having slept outside on a day bed every single night they were apart, Luca quickly confirmed he would be sticking with Gemma Owen, and the pair were clearly thrilled to be reunited, with the fish saleman breathing a sigh of relief when his girlfriend walked in alone.
Andrew, who was torn whether to couple up with Coco, revealed he decided to recouple with her, and didn’t hold back sharing his feelings for Tasha.
He said: ‘I’m thankful I had some new girls come in and tell me exactly what she was saying behind me back, there are feelings, but the truth has come out.’
‘I was gutted and hurt and there is one girl who has caught my eye… whether it’s something more I don’t know.’
As Tasha then returned to the villa with Billy, Andrew was visibly furious, muttering: ‘What a shock horror, f**k me now.’
Asked why she’d chosen to ditch Andrew, Tasha said: ‘It’s not an easy situation but I had to stay true to myself,’ while he responded: ‘She’s fake mate, and to be honest, good luck to you, she tells more lies than Pinocchio.’
The stage was then set for Cheyanne to expose Jacque’s rogue ways, with the hunk first deciding he was going to stick with Paige, leaving the brunette visibly delighted as she returned to the villa alone.
Asked by Laura whether she was surprised she hadn’t been chosen by one of the boys, Cheyanne revealed: ‘I though I had a connection with someone… I suppose my version of a test was different to someone else’s….’ and then admitted that Jacques was the man in question.
Attempting to justify his decision, Jacques said: ‘I wanted to see what I’ve got with Paige is real. I wanted to see if something could be better… but it wasn’t.’
‘It’s not really what you want to hear when you come back.’ Paige added, insisting she did remain loyal in Casa Amor.
And while the bombshell left the rest of the villa stunned, it wasn’t the end of the drama, as Mollie Salmon then shared she shared a kiss with Davide, leaving Ekin-Su visibly shaking with shock.
Confronting him with his behaviour, Davide insisted it was ‘just kisses,’ and ‘what he had from Mollie he cold have from anyone,’ telling Ekin-Su: ‘I’ve chosen you because we have a connection.’
The pair smiled as they agree that Ekin-Su was feeling drama tonight and was ‘feeling dark,’ leaving a question mark over the future of their romance.
Ahead of the Casa Amor recoupling, it was almost too close to call who would retreat to their old couple and who would take a risk and bring their new love interest to the main villa for good.
Heads had been turning since the moment the group split, with many members from each side sharing secret smooches and flirty exchanges while the other half of their couple was out of sight and mind.
Nervous? Ahead of the Casa Amor recoupling on Thursday night, it is almost too close to call who will retreat to their old couple and who will take a risk and bring their new love interest to the main villa for good
No doubt! Gemma and Luca will get to reunite tonight after neither of their heads turned in the other villas
However in their last 24 hours apart, some Islanders minds were drawn back to what they had before, as Davide admitted he would often think of his ‘connection’ with Ekin-Su, while Andrew broke down over Tasha.
EKIN-SU AND DAVIDE
Before the girls were whisked off to Casa Amor, Ekin had begun to rekindle her romance with Davide as she did her best to win him back after ditching him in the hopes of building a relationship with Jay.
While Ekin admitted she was ‘open’ to getting to know the Casa Amor boys she soon realised that her heart was still in the main villa with Davide, as she explained to George she wanted to be friends after they shared a heated moment as they shared a bed together.
Davide initially appeared more inclined to meet someone knew in the villa after his pride was bruised by Ekin’s actions, sharing kisses with both Mollie and Coco in a bid to move on.
Will they find their way back? Before the girls were whisked off to Casa Amor, Ekin had begun to rekindle her romance with Davide as she did her best to win him back after ditching him in the hopes of building a relationship with Jay
However Wednesday’s episode saw him confide in Jay about what to do when it comes to the recoupling.
He advised: ‘Right now it’s quite obvious I think you still have a connection with Ekin, and you don’t just wanna throw that to the side out of spite, it’s not right man.’
Davide then confessed: ‘I make myself many problems…Let’s see today how it goes.’
In the beach hut he added: ‘I think about her often and our connection’.
GEMMA AND LUCA
Gemma and Luca have appeared most steadfast in their feelings for each other since their parted ways at the beginning of the Casa Amor twist.
Neither of them showed any interest in the new arrivals and Luca received some backlash from the boys for being completely closed off to getting to know any of the new girls.
It must be love? Gemma and Luca have appeared most steadfast in their feelings for each other since their parted ways at the beginning of the Casa Amor twist
The 23-year-old fishmonger was dubbed ‘fake’ by some of the boys after he called out their antics, especially Dami who shared a kiss with Summer despite showing a strong interest in Indiyah.
While Gemma has stayed loyal to Luca, she did share a bed with Josh while Luca slept alone.
Luca admitted he wouldn’t be happy if he learned Gemma had stayed in bed with anyone, so after their loved-up reunion there may be a discussion to be had.
PAIGE AND JACQUES
Before Casa Amor, Paige and Jacques appeared to be a strong team after they overcame a ‘test’ when Jay revealed his interest in the Welsh native and made a play for her.
However Jacques was branded a ‘kid in a candy store’ when the new girls arrived at the villa and he made moves on both Mollie and Chayenne, claiming he wanted to put his romance with Paige to the ‘test’.
In stark contrast, Paige was pining for Jacques in Casa Amor and told the girls that she didn’t get any sort of red flag from her beau and couldn’t wait to be reunited.
Oh no! Paige was pining for Jacques in Casa Amor and told the girls that she didn’t get any sort of red flag from her beau and couldn’t wait to be reunited
Meanwhile, Jacques was romancing Mollie before friendzoning her and trying his luck with Chayenne, who he kissed on the terrace and has been frolicking with in the pool.
He said: ‘If I wanna kiss another girl I’ll deal with the consequences. I need to crack on!’
But will Jacques choose Chayenne or Paige and will she forgive his antics?

TASHA AND ANDREW
Despite claiming they were falling for each other in the episodes running up to Casa Amor, Tasha and Andrew were both quick to test the water with the new arrivals.
Andrew’s decision was sparked when the new girls told him Tasha had ‘settled for convenience’ and he quickly set his sights on newbie Coco, who he shared a bed with.
During the days they were apart, Tasha and Andrew both admitted there had been ‘something missing’ from their romance which they had found in other people.

Tasha told her love interest Billy that he brought out her ‘fun and flirty’ side, while Andrew confided in Coco that their night of chatting and laughing was not something he had previously share with Tash.
However Andre soon seemed to be regretting his choice as he cried and admitted all he had wanted was Tasha, who seemed torn over whether to pursue a new romance.
Will his girl return without new boy Billy?
INDIYAH AND DAMI
They were a fan favourite couple before they were forced to go their separate ways.
But Dami and Indiyah could definitely be on the rocks after both of their head turned during their time apart, with Dami showing interest in Summer while Indiyah proved to have a connection with Deji.
Indiyah pulled Deji for a chat to discuss their situation, and even spoke about the possibility of taking him back to the main villa with her.
Oh no! Dami and Indiyah could definitely be on the rocks after both of their head turned during their time apart, with Dami showing interest in Summer while Indiyah proved to have a connection with Deji

Indiyah then admitted she does have a connection with Dami before saying that if she did take Deji back to the villa, then she would still want to get to know Dami too.
While after kissing Summer, Dami admits: ‘My head’s fried, scrambled, whatever way you like your eggs. That’s the way my head is right now. I’m scared.’
Who knows whether Indiyah and Dami will pick each other or their new flames?
DANICA AND JAY
They were the only couple to enter the Casa Amor period as friends with their options wide open to meet someone new.
During her time in Casa Amora, Danica has built a connection with Josh, while Jay has been getting to know Chyna back in the main villa.
They are the only couple who will undoubtedly come back with new partners.
