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

Curtis has chosen Maura over Francesca because he's seen a "completely different side" to her. They're both very giggly and coy. Actually quite cute.

Finally Maura's got herself a "fella". Her Mammy would be proud. Could Maura and Curtis be in with a chance of winning the show? Tommy and Molly-Mae have been the clear frontrunners for a while now, but Maura is just comedy gold.

Curtis is about to break the bad news to Francesca. "My vagina is TROBBING," says Maura. As in "throbbing". Omg.

Ah Francesca took the rejection quite well. She should go for Ovie. Someone go for Ovie for goodness sake. Here's a clip of Curtis choosing Maura...

Michael couldn't have made it any clearer to Amber that he's not interested after ordering her to sit down and telling her he's still into Joanna. He's acknowledged it was a "savage" way to do it. Oh dear.

Three new bombshells to arrive in the villa tomorrow night. Two girls and a boy. And one of them's interested in Ovie...!
