Love Island's Joanna speaks out as Michael makes moves on Amber again

It's decision time for Love Island's Amber.

The 21-year-old Geordie contestant is facing a choice between Michael Griffiths and Greg O'Shea after the latest challenge.

And spurned ex-contestant Joanna Chimonides has admitted it was "hard to watch" as Amber - despite their fiery break-up.

After being dropped from the villa when fellow islanders picked Michael over her, 22-year-old recruitment consultant Joanna took to Instagram to comment on the latest developments.

Michael kissed Amber in a builder-themed challenge, while rival Greg opted for a light kiss on the cheek.

Love Island first look: Amber has a BIG decision to make as both Michael and Greg pursue her

Having previously left Amber to pursue Joanna, in a breakup which sparked Ofcom complaints as he called her "a child" and "pathetic".

But he's now apologised and told her he was sorry for "being a bit of a d**k".

He said: "I feel like whilst those few weeks were going on, it was a lot harder to speak to you because of the situation I was in.

"‘That being said, the situation I’m in has given me time to clarify things in my head about where I am and how I feel. It has given me the time to think you know what I actually do like Amber."

On Instagram, Joanna felt he was accusing her of making life difficult for Amber - and she wasn't having any of it.

She wrote: "Wow. Even my dogs are going crazy.

"In all honesty, for me that's hard to watch, yet again because the amount of times I have actually said to Michael, 'please go and check Amber is OK, please go and check in with her, please go over to see her, please check she is OK' and he is like 'no, no, no, no'.

"I feel like the finger is constantly getting pointed at me."

And when Michael went in for a snog, she quipped: "Well, at least Michael is getting some action now, eh?"

Meanwhile, the girls on the island are sceptical about Michael's sincerity, and have urged their friend to choose Greg.

Amber will have to make the decision when Love Island returns, with a stark dilemma facing her in the upcoming recoupling ceremony.
