Love Island confirms Casa Amor return date as new cast set to tear couples apart

Love Island 's Casa Amor is back - and it looks set to begin on Friday night.

It was rumoured Casa Amor would return over the weekend, while the twist sees the original boys and girls split up as new arrivals enter the main villa, and the second villa.

But voiceover Iain Stirling announced it was much sooner than we thought, appearing to confirm it kicks off on Friday.

At the end of Thursday's episode, Iain declared: "Guess what's back."

In that moment, the famous Casa Amor sign appeared on screen and flickered, proving the second villa was open and waiting for the Islanders.

No more information was given than that, so it seems the end of Friday's episode could be the moment either the boys or the girls vacate the main villa, and the new cast are announced.

Viewers were thrilled with the news, having been waiting for it for days - ready for the drama ahead.

Taking to Twitter, one viewer said: "That preview and Casa screen was more exciting than the whole of yesterday’s episode."

Another fan said: "Casa Amor is here to destroy the foundations of everyone’s relationships and I am SO READY FOR THE CHAOS."

A third viewer tweeted: "CASA IS HAPPENING BABES," as a fourth said: "Casa Amor at a time of turmoil? WE WON."

It comes after the latest dumping twist of the series that aired on Tuesday night. After viewers were tasked with voting for their favourite boys and girls on Monday night, the results were announced on Tuesday and two stars left the villa.

After all Islanders were gathered around the fire pit, some of the Islanders began receiving texts confirming those who would be leaving.

The Islanders discovered that two of them would be going home immediately, and the decision was announced via text message.

Zachariah had to announce which girl was going home, and Leah was tasked with reading out the name of the dumped boy.

The axed girl was newcomer Mal Nicol, and the axed boy was original Islander Mehdi Edno - leaving the Islanders reeling and his partner Whitney in shock.

None of the Islanders had known in advance that an exit was looming, and host Maya Jama did not return to the villa to host proceedings.

Instead they all had to wait to hear their fates via their phones, and as Mal's exit was announced she shared she was fine, as she said goodbye to her current partner Sammy.

Mehdi's exit came as a huge shock to the group given he had been there since day one, and was in a pairing with Whitney for weeks.

Love Island airs every night at 9pm on Virgin Media and the Virgin Media Player.
