Love Island contestants have reunited with their families at Heathrow Airport after nine 'bombshells' were dumped from Casa Amor, including Nottinghamshire star Ryan Weekley, who works as a steel erector. Viewers were shocked during the episode on Friday, February 17, as the Casa Amor Islanders were given the boot from the villa.
During Thursday's explosive Love Island recoupling, Ryan along with Lydia Karakyriakou, Sammy James, Cynthia Otseh-Taiwo, Lynda Flix, Layla Al-Momani, Kain Reed, Frankie Davey and Bayley Mummery were all dumped from the villa, with their exit scenes airing Friday. This was the biggest dumping to take place on the show, with only three of the bombshells making it into the villa, reports The Daily Mirror.
This comes after Maya Jama flew to the villa on Wednesday, February 15, to mediate the recoupling after twelve new Islanders joined the show hoping to turn the heads of those already in the villa. During the recoupling Olivia Hawkins decided to ditch Kai Fagan and couple up with bombshell Maxwell Samuda, but she couldn't hide her anger when she returned to see him coupled up with Sanam Harrinanan.

Fans were also devastated for Lydia and Cynthia who had formed strong connections with Tom and Casey. Cynthia even burst into tears when she realised the latter had decided to stick with Claudia, whilst Lydia insisted she was "happy" for Tom and Samie to be back together.
Additionally, Layla was less than impressed with Will Young's behaviour in the villa, kissing her, then going back to Jessie Wynter. Fans went wild on social media following the episode, with one viewer writing: "Casa flopped only 3 got picked and 9 of them gone #loveisland."
Another commented: "Tom made a big mistake! Lydia was lovely! #casaamor #loveisland." A third added: "Gonna miss Layla, Lydia, and Cynthia tho. them girls had personalities AND looks - at least one of them deserved another chance."
