The drama in the Love Island Villa is set to continue this evening as a first look of tonight's episode, which airs on ITV2 at 9pm on Wednesday, March 1, sees the winter Love Island host Maya Jama arriving in south Africa to shock the Islanders with some devastating news: the public vote and a dumping.
After receiving a text message that reads: "Islanders, it's time for you to get ready and leave the villa, as you're off to the island beach club to party!" the reality stars are seen to whoop in excitement at the prospect of saying farewell to their accommodation for a few hours, with Shaq Muhammad screaming: "It's party time!".
But it seems that this joy will be short-lived as just hours into their party, which - in the first look - shows the contestants dancing and drinking out of gold champagne glasses - Maya Jama enters in a vibrant red dress and makes her way to the balcony to say: "You all look like you’re having a cute little time, sorry to crash the party, could you all line up in your couples please."

Maya, who replaced Laura Whitmore this year, added: "I’m sure you’re all asking yourselves why I’m here, I’ve got some very important news. The public have been voting for the most compatible couple. The couples with the fewest votes risk being dumped from the Island tonight."
This shock dumping comes soon after a dramatic recoupling just days ago which saw Casey and Claudia go their separate ways and pair up with new bombshells Keanan and Rosie - much to the disappointment of the famous motorcycle racer's daughter.
Tonight's episode is also set to be an explosive one after it was revealed last night that several of the Islanders doubt Australian bombshell Jessie Wynter's authenticity. In the juicy first look, Will - who is currently paired up with Jessie - is seen to be 'livid' as he tries to get to the bottom of these accusations.
