Love Island's Mike swiftly moves on from Leanne by betraying best pal Connor

Love Island 's Mike Boateng doesn't seem too upset at being dumped by Leanne Amaning, as less than 24 hours later he set his sights on Sophie Piper.

The shocking preview for tomorrow night's episode showed Mike hinting to Sophie that he fancied her.

This comes just days after Sophie was torn apart from Connor Durman who was dumped from the villa, but he vowed to stay loyal to her on the outside.

Mike and Connor were best friends, so it's a huge surprise that Mike is betraying him by flirting with Sophie.

Mike and Sophie are shown sitting down together on the beds in the villa, as Sophie consoles Mike about his break up.

Mike lays it on thick with Sophie (ITV)

"Just because it didn't work between you two, doesn't mean it can't work with someone else that comes in", she reassures him.

But Mike has other ideas, and replies: "Why not somebody who's already here?"

Looking shocked, Sophie giggles and clutches her chest.

It then cuts to later on, where Mike gathers the boys around him and reveals, "Potentially, there could be someone here already..."

"Sophie!?" asks Callum Jones.

"I'm going in all guns blazing", confirms Mike.

Viewers took to Twitter to exclaim their shock at the turn of events.

"Mike going for Sophie???? They’ve awoken the beast. It’s time. Let’s goooooo", wrote one.

Mike confirms he's "going in all guns blazing" with his friend Connor's former flame Sophie (ITV)

"HOLD UP A DAMN SECOND MIKE? SOPHIE? HUHHHHH", questioned another.

"He’s lowkey been feeling Sophie this wholeeee time. mike is trashhhh", declared a third.

"Leanne ditched Mike so now he’s moving to her bestfriend Sophie? THIS IS THE BETRAYAL I SIGNED UP FOR. THIS IS CONTENT I WANT TO SEE", raved a fourth.

Meanwhile, furious Rebecca Gormley ranted as Siannise Fudge and Luke Trotman flirted up a storm despite Rebecca and Luke T being coupled up.

Siannise must be feeling smug after Rebecca stole Luke T from her, only for him to return back to her again.

Rebecca rants: "I've literally got 'mug' written across my head", while Siannise giggles "I think it's a bit of karma to be honest with you".

Looks like the two ladies are about to lock horns once again.

*Love Island returns tomorrow at 9pm on ITV2
