Love Island villa is rocked by shock daytime recoupling which will air TONIGHT

THE Love Island stars were in for a shock after a daytime recoupling took them by surprise – and tonight it’ll play out on screens.

Ella receives a text asking the Islanders to gather at the fire pit, fresh off the back of the dumping of Charlotte Sumner and Andre Furtado.

In an unexpected twist, they are then told there will be a daytime recoupling and it’s the boys’ turn to choose. 

This means Sammy will have to choose who to couple up with, after getting to know both Jess Harding and bombshell Leah Taylor.

Friday night saw Andre and Charlotte dumped from the villa after the public were given the power to vote for their favourite couple.

The three boys with the fewest votes were Andre, Zachariah Noble and Sammy Root, while the bottom three girls were Charlotte, Leah Taylor and Catherine Agbaje.

The safe islanders then had to pick who they wanted to go home.

A number of Love Island fans were left confused at the islanders who were in the bottom six, as well as who had to leave.

Some went as far to say that the show is ‘rigged’.

One said on Twitter: “At least now we know the votes are rigged because wtf was that.”

“RIGGED #LoveIsland,” a second said.

A third chimed in: “hate this show it’s f***ing rigged there’s no way ppl voted Molly over Catherine let’s be 100% honest.”

“Cathrine in top three is crazy …this shii rigged and makes me honestly wanna stop watching because wtf,” a fourth tweeted.

ITV told us: “To be absolutely clear, our programmes are not fixed. To suggest that as a broadcaster we would knowingly deceive our audience by rigging the outcome of our programmes is untrue, and a very serious and reputationally damaging claim to make. 

“Broadcasting is tightly regulated and we have a duty not to materially mislead or deliberately deceive our audience. All of our programmes are subject to strict compliance.”

Love Island airs tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
