Love Island catch-up: Curtis chooses Maura, Michael rejects Amber and two other talking points from the show
After a huge row between Anton and Belle on Love Island on Sunday night, not to mention both Michael and Joanna being put at risk of being dumped from the island, we knew tonight’s episode would be very eventful indeed.
We found out who was forced to leave the villa, what happened next between Anton and Belle, and Curtis finally made his choice between Maura and Francesca.
Here are the talking points from tonight’s episode…
Michael savagely rejected Amber
After ordering Amber to sit down, Michael turned into the ultimate ice queen and made it crystal clear to Amber that, despite her extending the olive branch to him, he has absolutely no interest in her and wants to be with Joanna. That is, despite Michael deciding to stay in the villa for two weeks seemingly pointlessly while Joanna is on the outside. It was brutal.
Curtis finally made a choice between Maura and Francesca
Having deliberated between choosing to be with Maura or Francesca for the past few days, Curtis finally decided to go for Maura and the pair shared a kiss on the balcony. A surprising couple, but they do actually look quite cute together.
Anton and Belle got back together
While the couple’s fiery argument in the Love Island nightclub appeared to be the end of their relationship for good, Anton and Belle promptly made up and decided to get back together… much to Molly-Mae’s bafflement.
New bombshells are set to arrive in the villa
At the end of the episode, it was announced that three new bombshells will be entering the villa to ruffle some feathers. It’ll be two girls and a boy – and one of the girls has her eye on Ovie. She knows.
Catch up with all the action as it happened, below...
Anton got away lightly after leaving a shop assistant his mobile number (for what phone by the way? his Love Island phone?), with Belle deeming the stunt as pure banter. But she wasn't so impressed when he chose to kiss Anna in the Snog, Marry, Pie challenge, leading to a monumental row in the "nightclub" and the pair splitting up.
Also, in excruciating scenes in the "nightclub", Amber decided to tell Michael that she essentially still has feelings for him and that, if he decides to stray from the oft-repeated party line that "Things are going really well" with Joanna, he can totally have her back. Michael simply gave Amber a nervous smile in response.
Curtis was STILL deliberating over whether to go for Maura or Francesca and, keen to appear as a gentleman, decided to sleep out on the day bed so as not to lead on or upset either of the women. In last night's episode, at least, it looked as if Curtis was leaning towards Maura, who snogged him during the Snog, Marry, Pie challenge.
The episode came to a close with Anna and Jordan and Michael and Joanna being voted as the most vulnerable two couples by the public, and the islanders chose to save Anna and Jordan from eviction. But in a further twist (classic), the Flack revealed that only one person would be leaving the villa: Michael OR Joanna.
So who will be leaving Love Island tonight? Will it be Michael or Joanna? And who will decide who leaves... will it be the couple themselves or the rest of the islanders? We're willing to bet Joanna is sent home as she's been there such little time compared to Michael. And if Michael stays, maybe he will go back to Amber after all...
In the preview for tonight's episode it looks like Anton might have lost his patience with Belle, and Maura's fed up waiting for Curtis to choose between her and Francesca...
It's now up to the islanders to whisper in a huddle like emperor penguins and decide the fate of Michael and Joanna - they'll save their old pal Michael, surely?
