After a huge row between Anton and Belle on Love Island on Sunday night, not to mention both Michael and Joanna being put at risk of being dumped from the island, we knew tonight’s episode would be very eventful indeed.

We found out who was forced to leave the villa, what happened next between Anton and Belle, and Curtis finally made his choice between Maura and Francesca.

Here are the talking points from tonight’s episode…

Michael savagely rejected Amber

After ordering Amber to sit down, Michael turned into the ultimate ice queen and made it crystal clear to Amber that, despite her extending the olive branch to him, he has absolutely no interest in her and wants to be with Joanna. That is, despite Michael deciding to stay in the villa for two weeks seemingly pointlessly while Joanna is on the outside. It was brutal.

Curtis finally made a choice between Maura and Francesca

Having deliberated between choosing to be with Maura or Francesca for the past few days, Curtis finally decided to go for Maura and the pair shared a kiss on the balcony. A surprising couple, but they do actually look quite cute together.

Anton and Belle got back together

While the couple’s fiery argument in the Love Island nightclub appeared to be the end of their relationship for good, Anton and Belle promptly made up and decided to get back together… much to Molly-Mae’s bafflement.

New bombshells are set to arrive in the villa

At the end of the episode, it was announced that three new bombshells will be entering the villa to ruffle some feathers. It’ll be two girls and a boy – and one of the girls has her eye on Ovie. She knows.

Catch up with all the action as it happened, below...

Love Island airs at 9pm on ITV2

Well, this is extremely confusing. Joanna called Michael a f***ing snake for not leaving, then told him to stay and to pursue Amber. Hmm.

Oh dear, morale is low. But Ovie's here to save the day. He is perfect.

Michael is having some serious regrets about not leaving with Joanna. Don't worry Michael, as they say on Love Island, "It is what it is."

Ellie.Harrison15 July 2019 21:20

This looked painful.

Belle loves an empowering speech doesn't she?

Ellie.Harrison15 July 2019 21:31

Uh oh, Anton and Belle going off for the dreaded chat. Belle said he smells nice, good start?

Ellie.Harrison15 July 2019 21:33

Aww it looks like they're going to stay together. My god Anton do yourself a favour and stop talking though.

Ellie.Harrison15 July 2019 21:35

Michael trying to pass off his decision to stay on the show with "sometimes spending time apart can make things better" is... interesting.
