Love Island contestant leaves the ITV2 villa after explosive scenes

Love Island has reportedly been rocked by its second recoupling, which has resulted in one of the stars being axed from the villa.

A contestant on the ITV2 reality show is said to have been sent packing from the villa after they failed to get a partner during filming yesterday.

This recoupling comes after explosive scenes on the show during Wednesday night's episode, as the boys came close to blows after a night of beer pong and dares.

It is understood that the Islanders were told about the recoupling by Love Island host Maya Jama, who has flown back to South Africa after a brief stint in London to celebrate her debut on the show earlier this week.

A TV source told The Sun of the recoupling: "The news of a recoupling sent shockwaves around the villa.

“One of the islanders was left red-faced after they weren’t chosen and has gone home.

“The first recoupling is always tough and it is fair to say this one will have viewers on the edge of their seats.”

A sudden fight between Love Island contestants Shaq and Haris broke out in the closing moments of the show, leaving fans shocked.

As all the contestants played beer bong, the villa’s newest bombshell David was dared to lock lips with the girl he fancied the most for 30 seconds and he chose Tanya, who is currently coupled up with Shaq.

This later to a shouting match later in the evening, when Doncaster TV salesman Haris asked David what the kiss was like, in front of Shaq.

Shaq accused Haris of “s*** stirring” with his questions and the confrontation quickly escalated, forcing the other boys to intervene as they sent both Haris and Shaq off to separate areas of the villa to cool off.

Love Island 2023 aired the first recoupling of sorts of the series on Tuesday night, as bombshell Tom picked which girl he wanted to steal from another male Islander.

Olivia looked thrilled as her name was called, and she walked up to join him at the front of the firepit as the others watched on.

His decision has meant that farmer Will is now single and at risk of being dumped, while he and Olivia had not picked each other to begin with.

Ring girl and actress Olivia had made it clear to others that she only saw Will as a friend, and actually had her eye on Haris.
