ITV's Love Island extended tonight for 'most dramatic and explosive recoupling' ever

Love Island fans will be delighted to know that tonight's much-anticipated instalment will be slightly extended to capture all the drama, as viewers prepare for 'one of the best episodes' ever filmed.

Tonight's show will contain an extra five minutes of footage following the sensational fall-out from Casa Amor and a dramatic recoupling.

With the drama set to unfold, tensions will flare in the Spanish villa as new pairings are created in what is set to be an episode that will go down in Love Island history.

A source close to the show told The Sun: "It's one of the best episodes of Love Island ever filmed. It's really explosive - viewers will be shocked at how much drama kicks off tonight.

"There are tears, rows, heartbreak. In eight series, there has never been a more explosive show. Fans should cancel plans to stay in and watch - it's that good."

Casa Amor has tested some of the relationships in the Villa, with boys Dami Hope, Andrew Le Page and Jacques O'Neill all enjoying exploring their options while the girls were away 'on holiday'.

While Dami has been getting to know newbie Summer Botwe in the Villa, partner Indiyah Polack has been chatting with bombshell Deji Adeniyi, but hasn't taken things as far as her beau.

Jacques has been pursuing things with Cheyanne Kerr behind partner Paige Thorne's back, while estate agent Andrew has had his head turned during his time away from Tasha Ghouri.

Multiple new couples could be formed during tonight's eagerly-awaited episode, with even more drama set to unfold if show bosses go ahead with the Villa's infamous 'Movie Night' later this series.

Love Island has yet to confirm if there will be a Movie Night this year, after the dramatic twist caused outrage last series - but fans are convinced it's on the way.

Scenes shown to the villa caused a series of arguments, and sparked a huge number of Ofcom complaints - as did the misleading postcard sent to the villa girls during Casa Amor.

This year, the postcard has been axed, with the girls and boys not seeing what their partners have been up to with the bombshells ahead of the recoupling.

Love Island airs tonight at 9pm
