Love Island 2023 has aired its most dramatic episode yet thanks to the Casa Amor recoupling. The episode, which aired on Thursday, February 16, saw presenter Maya Jama return to the South African villa as the Islanders decided whether to stick in their current couples or recouple with a bombshell.
Contestants clashed and tears were shed during the explosive episode as the Islanders got an insight into what their partner had been up to in their absence. Things got tense between Olivia Hawkins and Kai Fagan despite them both deciding to recouple, while Cynthia Otseh-Taiwo was left in tears as Casey O'Gorman decided to stick with Claudia Fogarty and claimed their connection wasn't deep.
Elsewhere in the episode Will Young and Jessie Wynter both cried after he admitted he'd failed to be loyal during the first night of Casa Amor, while Tom Clare was called out by bombshell Layla Al-Momani over his recoupling speech.
