Yewande Biala’s departure from Love Island 2019 prompts rows in tonight’s episode.
Last night’s show saw Danny Williams decide to drop Yewande in favour of new girl Arabella Chi.
Left single, Yewande was dumped from the villa – and Amber Gill was left in tears.
In tonight’s episode, animosity spreads throughout the villa in the wake of Yewande’s dumping as the girls turn against Danny.
Tom tries to reassure Danny: “Listen, emotions are high tonight, right. Just listen, don’t take anything too seriously tonight. Emotions are high. There’ll be a lot of things said, there’ll be a lot of back-handed comments. Don’t take them too literally, don’t hold onto them. Things move so fast in here and you’ve done you.
“Don’t think about other people’s personalities. You’ve done you. I think you’ve made the right decision. Categorically you’ve done nothing wrong. Keep thinking positive. It’s easier said than done.”
Facing a backlash from the majority of the female islanders, most notably Yewande’s good friends Amber and Anna, Danny protests: “It’s just unfortunate how people can hold a grudge for me doing what’s best for myself.”

With Anton, Lucie and Arabella rallying around Danny, Anton outlines the situation in the Beach Hut: “There is definitely a divide since Yewande left. I think people need to remember that these decisions aren’t easy to make.
“And we’ve not made them out of nastiness for anyone, we’ve made these decisions which are best for us and people shouldn’t put so much pressure on it.”
Anna meanwhile gives her perspective on Danny’s decision to choose Arabella: “Arabella’s been here for a couple of days and somehow she’s managed to worm her way into Danny. I feel like Yewande deserved better.”
The drama heightens though as Danny and Arabella share a kiss in full view of the other Islanders.
Their embrace doesn’t get a positive reaction from Amber either, who vents in the Beach Hut: “I just think people can talk all they like but actions speak louder than words and I think that Arabella and Danny are conducting themselves in such a bad way that I just feel like ‘what do I have in common with you?’ It just doesn’t sit right with me.”
The kiss causes further backlash when, spotting Danny talking in the kitchen, Amber calls him over to the daybeds.
Amber remarks: “Is there a problem? Just checking, it just looks like there’s an issue.”

With the tension palpable throughout the villa, Amber challenges Danny for a second time when she suspects he is still talking about her and the other girls.
“I just want to say I gave you an opportunity to squash anything there so don’t say anything further about the situation unless it’s directly to those people over there.”
Danny replies: “If I’ve got something to say, I’ll say it to your face. I’m not shy of saying things to anybody. You have my word, if I’ve got a problem I’ll bring it to all of you.”
Amber quips: “Your word doesn’t really mean that much at this point does it? You’re giving me your word when your word means f*** all.”
Outraged by Amber’s reaction, Danny questions her behaviour in the Beach Hut: “She’s acted very immaturely in my opinion. I just think it reflects poorly on her. You definitely saw the 21 year old in her just now.”
Meanwhile, Arabella becomes embroiled into the conflict when she steps in to defend Danny, saying to the group: “You do realise all of us are going to get tested in here, you do realise that? You will get tested, you will get tested.”
This further riles Amber, who responds: “I know what I signed up to, thanks for enlightening us though. I didn’t know before you said that.”
Discussing the events further in the Beach Hut, Amber remarks: “They decided to kiss in front of everybody and then acted like it wasn’t going to be an issue and that doesn’t sit right with me.”
Danny admits he’s hoping for the calm to be restored over the next 24 hours: “I really do hope that the dust has settled a bit tomorrow. I understand that things are a bit raw and a bit fresh.
“The bottom line is some of the girls in this villa have lost a really good friend. That can’t be hidden, it can’t be forgotten and it should be respected. I will be respecting of that.”
Meanwhile, Anna’s reaction to Yewande’s departure has a knock on effect as Jordan calls her out on her behaviour towards Danny.
With Anna urging Danny to go away during his argument with Amber, Jordan insists she is being childish.
These remarks rile Anna further, who tells the Beach Hut: “Jordan’s in the background like ‘you’re pathetic, you’re childish.’ Mate, you’ve only been here for less than a week. Who are you to be saying this to me? You have no idea how I feel inside right now. You don’t know what I’m going through.”
Love Island 2019 continues tonight at 9PM on ITV2.
Elsewhere in tonight’s show, Tommy and Molly-Mae have some explaining to do over what bits they may or may not have done…
