Love Island's new couples confirmed as bombshell Rachel enters the villa in epic twist

Love Island 2021 hasn't even been on our television screens for one whole week yet, but there's already been a re-coupling in the Spanish villa.

Following the arrival of two new males, Chuggs and Liam, the power was handed over to the girls as they were asked to choose who they want to be partnered with.

However, due to the fact that there were seven men and five woman in the group - two guys were unfortunately left single.

Kaz was up first and decided to stay coupled up with Toby, who she has been with since the series began.

Sharon was the next girl to choose her partner and unsurprisingly she chose Aaron, despite being in a couple with Hugo.

Liberty was third in line to choose her man, and she decided to stick with Jake and described him "as a boy version of me".

It was then Faye's turn to choose her guy and she decided to ditch Hugo and go for new boy Liam, after enjoying a date with him the night before.

Hugo looked gutted as the pair kissed and sat down with one another, as Faye said she felt "so bad" for having to choose.

But it wasn't all bad for Hugo as Chloe ended up picking him and decided to give their connection a go.

Unfortunately, that left new guys Chuggs and original Islander Brad left on the shelf - but all was not lost.

As the two men awaited their fate, one of them got a text and it was revealed that a newcomer would be their saviour.

At that moment, stunning bombshell Rachel Finni was seen strutting her stuff as she headed into the villa wearing an orange two-piece.

Rachel has 24 hours to get to know Chuggs and Brad before making her decision on who to couple up with - meaning one guy will probably be heading to the airport very soon.

Meanwhile, the rest of the new couples will be getting to know each other as well and will be sharing beds with each other and perhaps growing close to one another.

However, fans fear that original couple Liberty and Jake might not go the distance and are concerned that Liberty is going to get her heart broken.

After tuning into Friday's episode of the ITV2 dating show, viewers rushed to Twitter to vent.

A third fan tweeted: "yo if my girl LIBERTY GETS PLAYED BY THE TOE SUCKER………..words WILL be had #LoveIsland."

A fourth person pleaded: "Pleaseee Liberty don't limit your options #LoveIsland."

Another viewer claimed: "liberty is setting herself up for heartbreak #LoveIsland."

Love Island airs at 9pm on ITV2.
