Love Island catch up: Biggest talking points, from Anna and Jordan to Maura and Curtis

Tonight's episode of Love Island was a celebrity special, with Craig David treating the Islanders to one of his legendary DJ sets and Amy Schumer sending a special message to the contestants via Aftersun

However, even Craig David wasn't enough to keep Joanna, Amber and Michael from snarling at one another, as Joanna wondered if Michael was having second thoughts after dumping Amber to recouple with her. 

Here are the biggest talking points from the latest episode: 

Anna and Jordan are a thing again

After dithering for what seemed like an entire year, Anna finally admitted (kind of) that she wanted to get back together with Jordan. Ovie wasn't too impressed, and didn't make a great impression of himself when he walked away from a conversation with Anna before telling Jordan: "You can have her." "I'm not a piece of meat to be passed back and forth," Anna later told him, to the cheers of Love Island viewers and guilty feminists everywhere. 

A brutal double dumping took place

In one of the most excruciating scenes of the series so far, Maura and Lucie decided it would be a great idea to dump their respective partners, Marvin and George, at the same time. Marvin and George were not impressed, but to be honest they don't really add anything to the show anyway, so who cares. 

Maura has told Curtis she fancies him

While a devastated Amy looked on, Maura made her move on Curtis after deciding she fancied him. This was after failing to make him clock on that she liked him via dance lessons and very obvious flirting. Not the brightest bulb in the tanning bed, is he? 

Craig David performed!

In a genuinely great moment, Craig David just randomly rocked up to the villa (we knew he was going to, obviously) to perform a DJ set for the Islanders. Admittedly they were weirdly positioned about 50 feet away from where he was performing, but maybe that was so they could get the right camera angles or something. Anyway, it looked like fun. 

The liveblog is now closed

Good evening and welcome to tonight's liveblog for Love Island! I'll be providing the bitchy commentary for this evening as the contestants engage in bitter feuds but also some dancing as – in case you didn't hear – CRAIG DAVID IS COMING TO THE LOVE ISLAND VILLA.

Is everyone ready for Craig David? I don't think I'm ready for Craig David 
 
I know Craig said be nice to the contestants but.... 'is Barcelona in Rome?' Guys.... COME ON.
 
Here's another look at that geography lesson because I can't get enough of it
 
Everyone ready?
So tonight in the villa, it looks like Ovie is getting sick of Anna after she wonders if she still prefers Jordan, while Joanna is set to confront MIchael and Amber after hearing a rumour they might reconcile.
Maura is working out how to crack on with Curtis, and has decided he can teach how to dance.
Aaaaaaaand Amy is not impressed.
"I've danced with him now, we could be married next week... he just doesn't know it," Maura cackles.
Anna, Jordan, Ovie and Amber came back from their weird x2 date and... it seems like it went pretty well? Jordan thinks so anyway.
IT'S CRAAAAAAAAAIG DAVID!!!!
This has happened far earlier in the episode than I was expecting, and it's very exciting. Although I'm not sure why they're all so far away from the DJ booth? Craig looks very lonely over there.
Wow, so that's quite a lot to take in for the first quarter of the episode. Amber and Anna are demanding that Amy drop this whole Curtis business and move on, while Amber is curious about whether Joanna even likes Michael, and Anna sounds pretty convinced that she's going to dump Ovie and go back to Jordan. Phew.
Aaaaand we're back. Maura is still obsessing over Curtis and.... oh wow, her and Lucie are actually going to dump their respective partners (Marvin and George) at the same time.
"Nip it in the bud, that's it." Maura is BRUTAL. 
 
Lucie is a lot more vague, saying "we're not really feeling it". 
 
I can't believe they're doing this at the same time.
It's like watching a slow-moving car crash. I don't think this double dumping was a good idea.
God, now Anna and Ovie are having a chat. I think this is going to be equally bad if not worse, because I think Ovie quite likes Anna and would prefer it if she didn't dump him to get back with her ex.
This conversation is exhausting. I don't understand what is being said. They keep talking about other people. Anna, JUST SAY WHAT YOU WANT.
