Love Island contestant booted from villa after recoupling on ITV2 dating show

A contestant has been booted out of the Love Island villa after a recoupling, according to reports.

One of the stars was axed from the ITV2 reality show after they failed to get a partner during filming on Thursday. This recoupling comes after explosive scenes in an episode where the boys came close to blows following a night of beer pong and dares.

It is understood the Islanders were told about the recoupling by Love Island host Maya Jama, who has flown back to South Africa after a brief stint in London to celebrate her debut on the show earlier this week. A TV source told The Sun: "The news of a recoupling sent shockwaves around the villa.

"One of the islanders was left red-faced after they weren’t chosen and has gone home. The first recoupling is always tough and it is fair to say this one will have viewers on the edge of their seats."

A sudden fight between Love Island contestants Shaq and Haris broke out in the closing moments of the show, leaving fans shocked, reports The Mirror. As all the contestants played beer bong, the villa’s newest bombshell David was dared to lock lips with the girl he fancied the most for 30 seconds and he chose Tanya, who is currently coupled up with Shaq.

This later led to an argument, when Haris asked David what the kiss was like, in front of Shaq. Shaq accused Haris of “s*** stirring” with his questions and the confrontation quickly escalated, forcing the other boys to intervene as they sent both Haris and Shaq off to separate areas of the villa to cool off.
