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

I'm surprised they don't all have whiplash. MEDIC.

Uh oh

GO MAURA. "The man cannot seem to listen to me. He doesn't let me speak. It drove me mad. I didn't like it at all."

Anton has about as much sexual chemistry with Belle as Owen Wilson and Rachel McAdams in Wedding Crashers. Ergo, none.

Curtis doesn't seem to realise that Jourdan has moved on already? So if he dumps Amy then he'll be single.

Curtis using the word "predicament" is the first four-syllable word I've heard on this show.

Well that was eventful. Lot of noisy snogging. Lot of couples swapping partners over at Casa Amor. Tune in tomorrow at 9pm for more witty commentary.
