Love Island 2023: Mitchel reveals his game plan and islanders face tough decision

Love Island returns on Wednesday night in tense scenes following last night's dramatic episode which left ITV viewers on a cliffhanger when the abrupt first departure of the first islander was announced in a shock recoupling.

It's the first recoupling of the series, which saw a huge shake-up among the islanders following the arrival of new bombshells Charlotte and Leah which resulted in two of the girls being left vulnerable and it was Glasgow model Ella and Ruchee.

Viewers were told it would be in the hands of the other contestants on which girl would be the first packing and saying goodbye to the Mallorca villa, as on tonight's show Ruchee and Ella head to the sundeck, as their fellow Islanders deliberate.

“This is very difficult, it’s obviously not nice seeing two of your friends standing up there," says Catherine.

Mitchel adds: "I get on with both of them, they’re both my mates and I adore Ruchee, she’s just had a bit of bad luck…"

Jess says: "They both have amazing personalities and it’s just unfortunate that it’s come to this."

But as Mehdi stands to reveal their decision, who will they save and who will be sent packing? Meanwhile, later that night Mitchel reveals he has a plan up his sleeve as he opens up on his game plan.

Speaking of his decision to couple up with Molly, saving her from a potential dumping he says to Mehdi: "I did that for my boy Zach, I didn’t do that for anyone else but Zach."

Gathered with the boys in the kitchen, he says of his decision: “friendship, I’ve got you boys”

Sammy laughs, saying: “The thing is Mitch is saying this, but really you’ve got a secret plan just to get to know Molly now.”

Mitchel replies: “If it doesn’t work out then I definitely did, but if Mol starts liking me again, then a game’s a game…”

Later, Mitchel pulls Molly to discuss his decision at the fire pit. How will she feel about what he’s got to say?

Love Island continues on ITV2 and ITVX each weeknight at 9pm.
