LOVE Island fans cheered one of the show’s most brutal ever twists on tonight’s show.
Jess Harding and Sammy Root and Leah Taylor and Mitchel Taylor were judged the villa’s least compatible couples by their co-stars.

There was bad news for Jess and Sammy and Leah and Mitchel tonight
That meant they would have to split up and date two new bombshells to stand any chance of survival on the show.
As Maya Jama revealed the four will not be the only single stars on the show, with stunning Mal Nicol and hunky footballer Montel McKenzie also joining as bombshells.
She said: “As your fellow Islanders decided you are the two least compatible couples – all four of you are now single.
“You will also not be able to recouple with each other at the next recoupling. I have one last piece of news before I leave.
“Leah, Mitchel, Jess and Sammy, you are not the only single Islanders. Mal and Montel are waiting to date you at the front of the villa.”
As The Celeb Report revealed today, the move caused uproar among some members of the villa.
In scenes not shown tonight, beautician Jess was so upset, she refused to take part and had to be coaxed back on set by the crew.
A source explained: “It really ruffled some feathers — and it got worse when Jess found out she had to go on a date with the new boy.
“It wasn’t anything personal against him, but a producer had to console her while she sobbed and coax her to continue filming.”
Tonight, viewers saw Sammy looking unimpressed by the move, with Maya remarking: “Sammy, you don’t look that happy about that.”
He insisted: “No I don’t think it’s the right decision. Compared to most couples in here I think we’re far, far, far more compatible. We shouldn’t be stood here.”
Many viewers were left cheering the twist, with one tweeting: “This season is brutal, and I gotta admit, im loving it!”
Love Island is on weeknights and Sundays on ITV2 and ITVX at 9pm
