Love Island bombshell Charlie couples up with Ekin-Su as Jay chooses Paige

Friday's episode of Love Island saw another explosive recoupling take place inside the luxurious Spanish villa.

The drama began as Danica received a text as the Islanders were asked to gather around the fire pit immediately.

It was time for the boys to choose who they wanted to pair up with, and Jacques was shocked by the outcome.

As Jay chose to couple up with Paige, Jacques was visibly fuming.

"I've decided to couple up with this girl because I think she is beautiful, I think she's got an amazing personality," Jay said.

"She knows what I mean when I compare her to a belter and I wanna explore where things could go with her. So the girl I want to couple up with his Paige," he added, before she walked towards him and pecked him on the cheek.

Jacques was seen glaring at Jay as the new couple sat back down, but the drama wasn't over yet.

Elsewhere, Luca and Gemma remained with one another as new bombshell Charlie chose to pair up with Ekin-Su.

It came after she told Jay: "I'm not gonna change the way I am with Jacques."

Speaking in the Beach Hut, she said: "I'm flattered that Jay has picked me, it would be lovely to get to know him and have the conversations but in the most respectful way possible..."

Jay later told her: "I wanted to let you know that I'm being serious, I'm being genuine. I've not got loyalties to anyone here, other than you."

Another tweeted: "I adore paige and jacques, if they continue they will win #LoveIsland."

Someone else warned: "Jay listen you have no chance with Paige just leave her alone boy #LoveIsland."
