Love Island continued tonight, with the fourth series' first recoupling ceremony taking place.
Adam pre-warned Kendall he planned to ditch her, before swiftly bounding off to kiss new partner Rosie by the fire pit. Kendall became the first person to leave the show this year, though three new contestants were teased who will be introduced as a surprise on Sunday night.
Thursday's edition saw the relentlessly spurned Dr. Alex finally get his first date of the series with newcomer Rosie, while Niall and Georgia sat a few feet away from them, getting straight to the meat of any stirring intellectual conversation: how does she feel about chicken dippers?
Clearly, the answer pleased Niall enough, as he launched straight into a kiss, which caused ripples of shock across the villa (that's all it takes).
Cut to Hayley angrily asserting that you "can't trust anyone" and referring to the whole business as a "game", despite having already scolded Eyal for using exactly the same terminology.
A game of 'Truth or Dare' then resulted in the bombshell that Jack would re-couple with Hayley if he had the chance, which ended up with Dani in floods of tears trying to rekindle her relationship with Jack. "It’s not that I don’t like you," she wept. “It’s just I worry because you’re what I know.” Jack was quick to reply: "Sometimes stick to what you know."

In fairness Descartes could never full work out where one's head is at, so what hope does Hayley have?
Christ this is a slow episode, they missed a trick calling it Love Island and not Flesh Puddle
Everyone's feeling nervous ahead of the recoupling ceremony, as getting kicked off the show in week one means not even your local baker will sponsor you on Instagram
And Alex stays with Samira, the pair having realised they're the only contestants with an IQ in double digits
Essex sticks together. Jack and Dani renew their vows of 'kinda sorta likin each uvver I guess, I dunno early days innit'
