There’s a surprise recoupling on Love Island 2019 tonight and this time around the girls have the power.
Fresh from the entrance of three newbies and a shock elimination, in yesterday evening’s show, Maura received a text.
It read: “Islanders. Tonight, there will be a recoupling in which the girls will choose which boy they want to couple up with. #manofthemoment”
The current official couples are Anna Vakili & Jordan Hames, Molly-Mae Hague & Tommy Fury, Belle Hassan & Anton Danyluk, Amber Gill & Ovie Soko, Maura & Chris and Francesca & Curtis, while Michael Griffiths is single after Joanna Chimonides’ elimination.
However since the last recoupling Curtis has broken up with Francesca and instead spent time with Maura.
There’s also been a trio of newbies – Greg O’Shea, Harley Brash and India Reynolds – who have stirred up the villa.
Greg has taken a shine to both Amber and Maura while India has spent time with Ovie.
But Chris also has his eyes on the new girl, telling her in last night’s show: “I like you. I don’t know if you guessed that?”
Harley meanwhile seems to be keeping her cards close to her chest ahead of the recoupling having enjoyed dates with both Michael and Ovie.
Talking of Michael, he confessed he still has feelings for Amber.
Tonight, reflecting on the news of the looming recoupling with Amber, Greg says to her: “You’ve got a decision to make.”
Speaking in the Beach Hut about her upcoming decision, Amber says: “I honestly don’t know what to say. It’s a weird one and it’s a hard one.”
Amber’s fellow Islanders offer her some advice. Belle says: “He has completely betrayed your trust and picked someone else over you. If I was in your position, I would start something new with someone else.”
Amber replies: “I feel like I have a great connection with Michael. He makes me happy when I speak to him and I love the conversations that we have.”
Ovie says to Amber: “The connection you have with Michael is much stronger than the connection you have with Greg. At the end of the day, to win big, you’ve got to bet big.”
Speaking with Michael ahead of tonight’s recoupling, Amber says: “I don’t know what to do for the best. It was only last night you put your cards on the table.”
Michael responds: “I’ve made the decision that put us in this situation. And I have to live with that. You know that I like you, that’s all you need to know really.”
But it’s time for Amber to make her decision. Anna receives a text, which reads: “Can all Islanders gather around the fire pit immediately.”
The Islanders gather around the fire pit for tonight’s recoupling.
When making her decision, Amber says: “It’s been the hardest decision that I’ve had to make and I really don’t know what the right thing to do is…”
But which boy will Amber choose to continue her Love Island journey with? Regardless of what decision Amber makes, it is sure to send shockwaves through the villa.
Love Island 2019 continues at 9PM on ITV2 tonight, Friday July 19.
The live final will air on Monday, July 29.
