Love Island is back on our screens for the first-ever winter edition - and things are already getting complicated.

A new group of single hopefuls are hoping to find love and make it all the way to the final, but some of them have already run into trouble and last night's (Wednesday, January 15) episode saw police officer Mike Boateng and Leanne Amaning get closer and share the dog house bed together, while Sophie Piper bumped heads with her man Connor Durman.

Meanwhile, Ollie Williams shocked his fellow Islanders by announcing his departure.

His decision sent shock waves through the villa during Wednesday's episode, but not as much as the announcement that there were going to be two new men walking into the villa.

For those who didn't manage to tune in, here's a recap of the main action...

What happened on Love Island last night?​

  • Mike was the first Islander to sleep in the Dog House after letting Jess know that he would like to get to know Leanne.
  • Leanne joined him and said: "I couldn't leave you there alone"
  • Jess admitted that she was shocked by Mike's "strong preference" for Leanne​​.
  • Siâ​nnise snapped at Nas as he appeared to pronounce her name incorrectly. ​​​​
  • Later Siâ​nnise confronted him about telling the others she was giving off "mixed signals".
  • She then told him she had no romantic feelings for him despite them being in a couple.
  • Ollie grabbed Paige for a chat to tell her know that he was missing his ex and "love of his life".
  • Paige seemed pleased with his realisation and supported his decision to leave the villa.
  • He gathered his fellow Islanders around the firepit to announce the news.

  • While most of the girls celebrated and supported his decision, the boys tried to convince him to stay.
  • The ladies get excited as the arrival of two new boys - Connagh Howard and Finley Tapp - was announced.
  • Connor, irritated because Sophie seemed too enthusiastic about the lads, confronted her about it.
  • The tense argument ended awkwardly as Sophie admitted that she was just winding him up as a joke.
