Michael appears to have been cancelled after the latest episode of Love Island.

As the guys from Casa Amor got to know the Islander girls, back at the original villa a lot of heads were being turned. Curtis in particular, who seemed torn over his proclaimed loyalty for Amy, his "half-girlfriend", versus his interest in new girl Jourdan.

Here are some of the key talking points:

The islanders play some love games

A new challenge caused trouble after demanding different contestants kiss one another according to age and height. Molly-Mae got jealous after learning Tommy, the youngest boy, had kissed another girl, while Amber was equally peeved that Michael kissed someone else, given that she refused to take part in the kissing challenges.

Curtis's head is turned, a lot

Curtis is risking his relationship with Amy after admitting that he was interested in Jourdan. However, after hearing him confess said interest, Jourdan then opted to share a bed with Danny and enjoy a lights-out makeout session with him. So Curtish could be risking everything for... nothing.

Anton gets his first kiss

Anton looked genuinely baffled after weeks of being ignored by the women of Love Island, when he was kissed by new contestant Belle, who definitely isn't cosying up to him because she wants to stay on the show whent the next recoupling takes place.

Michael is cancelled

After the trailer for tomorrow night's episode (2 July) aired, viewers expressed their shock on social media after seeing Michael crack on with Joanna, despite professing his loyalty to Amber. "I've officially lost all hope in men," one particularly distressed audience member tweeted. "Goodnight."

The liveblog is now closed:

Love Island continues at 9pm on ITV2, Tuesday 9pm

Right, so far (from what I can tell), the contestants have simulated sex positions with one another and revealed most of them have a pretty poor comprehension of the alphabet, considering how long it took most of them to work out Anton with an A should be the one who snogged the girl.

Amy is worried that Curtis is going to have his head turned. Amy is correct.

"We've been made to look like utter mugs," Amy screeches.

So it's party time over at the villa, after they won at dry-humping each other. Jourdan is confiding in the girls after Curtis admitted his head had been turned.

Three of the guys are interested in Jourdan. You can see them working out who gets to have a go first. I'm waiting for someone to produce a bunch of straws to see who draws the shortest one but ITV2 have probably banned single-use plastics.

Anna's head is scrambled. It must be very confusing when you voluntarily kiss a seven-foot basketball player who happens to be very, very attractive.

Lucie is now cracking on with Stevie. Stevie is worried that George's sick haircut is putting him ahead in Lucie's affections. As far as I can tell it's just a short back and sides.

Danny just asked if Jourdan would say yes to sharing a bed with him. She suddenly suffers amnesia and forgets Curtis completely. All about keeping your options open.

Michael says it's very easy to speak to Joanna. I mean, when your vocabulary is limited to 50 words I'd find conversing relatively simple, too.
