The sneak peek dropped a bombshell as six glamorous girls made their entrance into the villa, taking their positions on the terrace, while presenter Iain confirmed Casa Amor’s return, reports OK!.

Meg was the one to break the news as she read out the girls’ names – Yaz, Lauren, Andrada, Lucy, Rheo and Emma.

A shell-shocked Harry was caught uttering “that’s my ex”, causing everyone to look up at the six newcomers, and leaving Harry’s partner Helena looking gobsmacked.

Casa Amor, hailed as the greatest challenge for the islanders, sees them separated from their partners, coming face to face with tempting new singles. After an exhilarating week, the islanders will be forced to decide – will they choose to recouple or remain loyal?

As per Casa Amor drama, fans are on tenterhooks to see who will stick and who will switch. Rumours have already started with Casa Amor additions, with whispers suggesting early exits Poppy and Caprice might return.

If islanders choose to stay loyal, a joyful reunion awaits. However, if one opts for a new partner, they return to the villa while their prior mate is left single.

The episode on July 4 had emotions escalating as Shakira confronted Harry about his feelings for Helena post-Superman challenge gossip from Meg, who suggested Harry’s words weren’t matching his actions.

Shakira pressed him: “You said you’ve fully ended it with Helena, [and that] there’s nothing there with her. Then all of a sudden Meg stands up, who’s Helena’s best friend, and says that you’re telling two different girls two different things. Something’s not adding up there.”

Nonetheless, Harry insisted on his sincerity, even though later footage saw him heading to the hideaway with Helena.

In a twist that left viewers gobsmacked, an unexpected new couple emerged during the latest recoupling. As the girls lined up at the Firepit, one lad stepped forward, choosing his partner with the words: “I don’t really know her as well as I should and I think this is a good opportunity to get to know her fully… I find her attractive and over the last few days she’s really changed my opinion of her.”

Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX

ITV viewers believe that Harry has ulterior motives for encouraging Helena to recouple with him as the footballer has already been accused of ‘player’ behaviour

Love Island fans are convinced they’ve seen through Harry Cooksley’s games, and if they’re right, it’s bad news for Helena. After a shock recoupling that saw the girls in charge, viewers are calling the footballer out for using Helena as a pawn to make Shakira jealous.

Drama erupted in the villa during tonight’s (June 12) episode after Harry and Helena snuck out to the Hideaway together while Harry was still dating Shakira. The pair agreed to quietly sneak out five minutes after the lights went off in the main bedroom, but unfortunately for them, everyone in the entire villa clocked their exit.

As a result, Shakira broke things off with Harry the next day, despite his protests that there was “unfinished business” between them.

Helena took Shakira aside for a heart-to-heart, insisting that their Hideaway escapade “wasn’t malicious”, and admitting to their kiss. Shakira stayed calm during their conversation, simply telling Helena to “crack on” with Harry because she was done with him after that stunt.

However, Harry tried to downplay the night to keep Shakira sweet, describing their intimacy as just a “PG cuddle and kiss”. He also insisted that there was something drawing him and Shakira to each other, adding that their story could not be finished yet.

Despite laying it on thick with his ex, when he spoke to others in the villa, Harry made it seem like he was really the one to end the relationship and claimed Shakira had been “aggy”.

He spent the rest of the day flirting with Helena by the pool, but made one last move on Shakira ahead of the recoupling ceremony, cheekily telling her: “Think of lots of nice things to say about me.”

The Burnley beauty was shocked by his confidence that she would still be interested in him, and giggled about the incident with her friends in the dressing room, saying: “Harry just went to me, ‘Are you going to practise what you’re going to say in your recoupling speech to me?’

“I want to couple up with this boy because he ran to the Hideaway with another girl last night and I love being cheated on!” she continued sarcastically.

In the end Helena got their first and did choose Harry, blissfully unaware that he had still been demonstrating his interest in Shakira ever since going to the Hideaway without her.

Viewers are convinced Helena is being strung along, and raced to social media to share their thoughts on what Harry’s strategy is. One person shared: “This is just so cringe, Harry isn’t interested in Helena at all and she can’t see it, she’s just there to make Shakira jealous.”

Another agreed: “Helena so oblivious to fact that Harry still wants Shakira. I lowkey feel bad for her.” A third groaned: “Helena talking about fate meanwhile Harry has been going round saying he still feels like him and Shakira are drawn to each other? Oh dear.”
