It's been a pretty explosive week for the Love Island contestants, and the episode that aired on Friday, February 24, was no different. Following the drama that Movie Night brought, ITV bosses decided to shake things up further and introduce two new bombshells.
Rosie Seabrook and Keanan Brand arrived in the main villa following Movie Night part two and picked two Islanders each to take on a date. Rosie chose Kai Fagan and Casey O'Gorman for her dates, while Keanan chose Jessie Wynter and Samie Elishi.
It comes after Jessie and Samie were left in tears following Movie night after seeing Tom Clare and Will Young get closer to bombshells in Casa Amor on the big screen. As news of the bombshells arrived by text, Will admitted it couldn't have come at a worst time.
But despite so much going on, the drama wasn't over yet as later that evening the Islanders received a text, which read: "Islanders, please gather around the fire pit immediately." A second read: "Tonight there will be a recoupling in which the girls will pick which boy they would like to couple up with."
New bombshells Keanan and Rosie got to pick first, while a text then read: "The boy not picked will be dumped from the Island tonight." But who coupled up with who and who was dumped? Here's everything you need to know.
Who are the new couples?
The recoupling occurred in the following order:
- Keanan and Claudia
- Rosie and Casey
- Lana and Ron
- Olivia and Maxwell
- Sanam and Kai
- Jessie and Will
- Samie and Tom
- Tanya and Shaq
Who was dumped from the villa tonight?
Martin Akinola was dumped from the villa after Tanya Mahenga decided to recouple with Shaq Muhammad. Tanya and Martin grew close in Casa Amor, with Tanya ultimately deciding to recouple with Martin.
However, once back in the main villa, Tanya and Shaq reconciled. Her decision to reunite with Shaq meant Martin was the latest contestant to leave the villa.
