Love Island aired a huge recoupling tonight - with one decision sending shockwaves through the villa.
The boys were in charge of picking which girls they wanted to recouple with after the chaos of Casa Amor saw multiple Islanders left single. Loyalties were tested and new romances have formed after the carnage of Casa.
During tonight's recoupling, Zach began by choosing Molly, saying her parents would be very proud of the woman she was. He said he didn't want to jinx things, but thought things were going really well for the pair. Elom partnered up with Dubliner Catherine whilst Tyrique chose Ella, despite the drama of Casa Amor, where she brought Ouzy back.
Lochan recoupled up with Whitney, who he said he could see a future with, whilst Ouzy was next to chose. He returned from Casa Amor with Ella, who is back with Tyrique. He recoupled with Kady after a "tough first few days".

Sammy ended up choosing Jess, admitting he had been "hard work" but wanted to be exclusive with her. Montel and Leah recoupled once more, with League of Ireland footballer Scott last to pick. Fans fumed over producers' decision to let Mitch pick first given the love triangle currently going on, as it meant he chose Abi and Scott was forced to choose Amber.
" #loveIsland producers f***ed it letting Mitch couple up first. Pathetic," one wrote, whilst a second added: "this production team genuinely hates scott as much as the villa do, doing everything possible to sabotage him #loveIsland."
A third added: "why did they make Scott go last he has no real choice I’m SO SICK OF THIS #loveisland."
At the start of the episode, Scott called Mitch for a chat, and they vowed that his interest in Abi wouldn't affect their friendship.
"I had a chat with Abi earlier today, you know how things change very, very quickly in here… I've got to explore every possibility in here at the moment… I’ve put a few cards on the table saying I’m open to getting to know you and do you feel the same way and she said she’s open… I just wanted to pull you before I start doing anything," Scott told Mitch.
Later, the group watched Scott and Abi flirt - but when Mitch was asked if he thinks there's a chance, he was quick to reply no. However, Sammy insisted that "wasn't what he had heard".
Things were soon interrupted by a text message, which read: "Can all Islanders gather around the firepit immediately."
As they gave their speeches, one Islander said: "I genuinely feel like there is a future with this girl," whilst another boy said he wanted to go exclusive with his partner as he made his loving speech.
Sources recently claimed that there will be a mass dumping on the ITV show, which airs on Virgin Media in Ireland, which will see "several big names" exiting the villa.
An insider explained: "Yet again producers have kept the Islanders on their toes and the axe is being swung in a big way. It's not just one or two people packing their bags anymore. Several big names are getting the chop this week - and just when they least expect it."
After Casa Amor, six Islanders were booted from the villa. Bombshells Danielle, Tink, and Gabby were kicked out, while Molly, Amber and Abi got to stay after coupling up with the boys. Former Islander Molly returned and reclaimed Zach.
With the male bombshells, Benjamin, Kodie and Zachary headed home. Elom, Ouzy and Lochan got a place in the main villa after pairing up with three of the original girls, leaving some of the original boys single.
