Love Island makes episode announcement after viewers tune in for Casa Amor recoupling

Love Island aired dramatic scenes from the famous villa in Majorca on Thursday, July 7. Viewers hunkered down in their millions to watch the highly-anticipated Casa Amor recoupling, which saw the original Islanders each make a big decision.

Prior to the instalment, ITV2 had teased the recoupling was the show's most "most dramatic ever" and it did not disappoint. Fans of the dating series watched as six of the contestants chose to ditch their partner and move on with a new bombshell.
