We're all aware that Love Island isn't exactly the most transparent show on television.

Many of the scenes are orchestrated by the producers, and a number of ex-Islanders have expressed the view that they were treated like "performing monkeys" (Malin Andersson's words, not mine).

The latest mistakes made on last night's show have fuelled claims of the series being a total fix, as audiences spotted the same shop assistant who received Anton's number behind the bar at the club later on;

It's a pretty hilarious error on the part of the producers; they didn't even TRY to hide the poor extra. The woman with never-ending jobs is now the subject of a million internet memes, unluckily for her.

The girl didn't even attempt to disguise herself, which makes it even more entertaining;

The club and shop scenes were massively false, but we lapped it up all the same. Amber Gill's account even referred to it as "illuminati confirmed".

The response online to the mistake was instantly gas, with the public calling for the woman to be paid more for working multiple (made-up) jobs.

Does she ever get a chance to catch her breath? To sleep? To have time to herself? It doesn't seem like it, it's slave labour up in ITV2 studios.

 Viewers are also calling the latest plot twist a total fix, after forcing the Islanders to choose between saving Joanna or Michael from the island

Everyone's fairly positive that Michael will be saved purely so he can get back together with ex-flame Amber, who confessed that she still has feelings for Michael last night.

It was all very dramatic, but we all know that Amber is far too good for CHALDISH Michael Griffiths. He doesn't deserve her, end of discussion.

Amy Hart has revealed that the Love Island producers forced her to eat following her break-up with Curtis Pritchard.

The air hostess quit the show earlier in the week after her devastating split from the professional dancer, whose head was turned by Jourdan when Amy left for Casa Amor.

She announced to her fellow Islanders on Tuesday night that she'd be leaving the villa, after sitting Curtis down to explain that they both needed to move on separately.

The brutal dumping took a serious toll on Amy, and she even lost six pounds in weight from the difficulty of the situation. 

After arriving home, she's spoken out about the extent of her distress, saying the bosses noticed her weight loss and told her to eat.

The 26-year-old told The Sun : "I felt so numb. I didn’t feel hungry. When I wouldn’t eat, they would stand over me and make me eat a bowl of food or I couldn’t do the challenges."

Amy emphasised that she left the show for the sake of her mental health, and decided to retain her "sanity" over remaining in the villa. Good choice, gal. 

She said: "I was in a very horrible place over the last week, to be told that the gloves were off with Maura and I had to ‘brace myself’, like a storm. I knew I had to leave when I did."

She admitted that she'd be "kidding herself" if she thought she could cope with watching Curtis and Maura cracking on. The beauty was "grieving" the loss of Curtis and it was too hard to stay in the villa.

Maura Higgins, Duchess of County Longford, shares her first kiss with Curtis Pritchard in tonight's episode of Love Island only hours after Amy Hart quit the show.

Curtis' 'half-girlfriend' Amy exited the villa of her own accord after an emotional farewell, still heartbroken at the end of her relationship with the professional dancer.

Maura has confessed her feelings to Curtis already, who told her he couldn't make any moves with Amy still feeling the pain of their break-up.

The Islanders are set a dance challenge tonight in order to get each others' hearts racing, and Maura makes sure she's got all the attention to see through her plan.

"I've got a bit of a plan up my sleeve. I just can't wait to get to Curtis," she admits in the Beach Hut. The contestants are each strapped up to heart monitors and are split into boys and girls.

The girls have to dance individually first, and Maura grabs Curtis for a kiss while the whole villa watches on. We LOVE the ridiculousness of this woman, but feel for Amy too.

Curtis is left without words after her confident display, and we'd say his heartrate skyrocketed. She's some woman, we'll give her that. The boys must then impress the girls with their sexy moves.

Seeing as Curtis is a professional dancer, he brings the heat to his routine and returns Maura's kiss after picking her up to sweep her off her feet.

We can FEEL how delighted those producers are. Earlier, Maura and Curtis were chosen by Chris and Francesca to go on a double date, but Maura was pretty distracted.

Maura flirts with Chris, but spends most of the date trying to see what Curtis and the new girl are up to.

"The poor lad is going to be talking to me and I'm just going to be earwigging. I want to hear the way Curtis is behaving!" she tells the Beach Hut camera about her date with Chris.

We can't see Curtis waiting to crack on with Maura, his respect for Amy wasn't exactly sky high when his head was turned by Jourdan after about 30 seconds. *Shade*

We woke up today with the news that no less than FIVE Love Island contestants have left the villa in just a few days (Amy has left voluntarily alongside two couples).

Danny and Jourdan have exited the show last night, and tonight the showdown will air between George and Lucy, and Amy and Curtis.

Seeing as Amy has mysteriously taken her flight straight out of Majorca, we're assuming that Lucie and George have been dumped.

News has just broken that 23-year-old Francesca Allen and 28-year-old Chris Taylor are the two newbies to shake up the villa in replacement of the five dumped contestants:

Essex beauty Fran has got her eyes set on Anton, which could spell bad news for Belle. Chris is taken with Longford lass Maura Higgins, who is now single but has feelings for Curtis. The DRAH-MA continues…

Francesca Allen is a store manager who knows a fair amount of the TOWIE cast from her shop- Georgia Kousoulou, Chloe Ross, Chloe Lewis.

"My sister’s boyfriend is Sam Faiers’ boyfriend’s brother, so we know each other. Jack Fowler was my personal trainer for a while, he’s really nice."

She reckons that her sense of humour perfectly matches Anton's, so watch out Belle;

"I do think it’s mainly Anton – I’ve liked him from the beginning. He seems like a really nice person. He seems like my kind of humour. He doesn’t take himself too seriously. He is good looking. I think we complement each other well."

She "didn't buy Amy and Curtis from the beginning" but is attracted to the ballroom dancer; "I love his snake hips."

She doesn't hold back about his relationship with Amy; "They were a bit awkward. It was a funny relationship. I wasn’t surprised when they broke up."

Chris Taylor is a business development manager from Leicester, who's set his sights on hilarious Irish girl Maura.

“Maura, she is very interesting. She’s an absolute fireball and I’ve got that same side to me as well. She has loads of banter and seems very easy to get on with. It will be interesting to see if we clash or not.”

His claim to fame is rather weak, but we'll take it; "My dad was engaged to Denise Welch when he was 19. They’re still good family friends. I’ve met her a few times, she’s lovely."

Chris is as confident as the rest of the boys in the villa, and is comfortably with his masculinity. He even admits to loving "girly things" like watching chick flicks;

"I am the full package I’d say. I’m not a bad looking guy. I would give myself a solid 7.2 out of 10. I can cook, I enjoy a bit of cleaning. I don’t really like football, and I don’t mind doing more girly things – I love a chick flick.

"In terms of being in a relationship with a girl, I’m the perfect islander to go in."

Damn son, we give you our blessing to go for Maura. Hit her with your best shot.

Ever since Ovie arrived into Casa Amor and set his six foot tall, tattooed gorgeousness on Anna, we've been weak for the man.

Not to mention his respectful, mature attitude which has no time for anyone who wants to kill his vibe. He's utterly himself in a fake, constructed reality show and that says a LOT.

His hilarious antics have earned him fans all over the world, and he's officially the favourite on the internet. No doubt about it, Ovie is making a serious mark on this year's Love Island.

Here are the receipts to prove Ovie's 2019 MVP status, we're willing to fight about this one. Defending Ovie to the death is now on our life mantra list.

1. Ovie dancing to the kettle boiling

2. His face when Maura pulled Amy for 'a chat' over Curtis

3. That big d*ck energy with his ice lolly, I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here hat and tropical print outfit

4. The chap just wants to avoid drama and chill in the sun

5. He sleeps in a bucket hat

6. He won't change for anyone

7. His fashion game is undeniably strong, and he speaks his truth

8. The way he shouts 'message' after anyone says 'I GOT A TEXT'

9. Just TRY and bother him, just try. It's impossible. He ain't bothered.

10. He's a 6 foot tall handsome devil

11. Ovie isn't just the content we need, it's the content we DESERVE

12. Ovie and Amber's friendship

13. Can he win the show as a single man for loving himself?

14. He doesn't let the Jordan and Anna debacle get his negative energy down, he moves on and runs a race

15. We stan a mature king

16. Amber calming him down after his argument with Anna is such goals

17. Just give us the summer romance and nobody gets hurt

18. The man doesn't stay in the past

19. He needs a camera on him at ALL TIMES

20. He's got Snoop Dogg vibes in his life and he ain't about to lose 'em

21. He treats women with respect, remember when he called Amber a boss after Michael proved to be trash?

In conclusion, we stan Ovie harder than ever and he deserves the £50,000 for being a god-given angel.

Well, he's 100 percent set up for life with sponsorship deals after getting inducted into the Love Island Hall of Fame anyway, so we reckon he'll ascent some sort of throne.

The man has a beautiful energy, he only acts like his hilarious self at all times, has zero time for bullsh*t and genuinely speaks only the truth. Ovie for the win, we say.

While four Islanders exit tonight's Love Island, fresh faces will also arrive to spice things up even more.

That's right people, TWO sexy singletons will make their way into the villa amid a quadruple dumping, and Amy's exit voluntarily.

Anna Vakili's 29th birthday bash was interrupted last night by the shock news that Jourdan and Danny were voted out of the show as the least favourite couple.

The Islanders will gather around the fire put and discover that they must decide amongst themselves which couple can stay and which must leave; George and Lucie or Curtis and Amy.

Bear in mind that neither pairing are actually dating each other, following Amy's heartbreak when Curtis' head was turned and he savagely dumped her. George… well… his chat up line was about snacks.

Four will depart the ITV reality show tonight, but two brand new Islanders will bring big changes to the villa. We're guessing the dynamics will make a big shift.

It's worth mentioning that Marvin, Maura, Amber and Ovie are now single (Ovie and Amber need to create the rom-com of the summer and take their friendship to the next level) but the public haven't forgotten how devious Michael was.

The lad is a perfect example of toxic masculinity, and showed gaslighting tendencies while brutally ending his coupling with the unsuspecting Amber (the word CHALDISH was thrown around way too often).

We're guessing Michael and Joanna will be the next couple targeted, but also Curtis and Amy must be saved tonight seeing as Amy walks away?

Just as the remaining two couples think they are safe, there is another big bombshell from the producers.

Tommy Fury receives a text which states:

"One more couple will be dumped, the other couple will remain in the villa. The couple which stays and couple that is dumped will be decided by your fellow Islanders."

Former air hostess Amy Hart has left Love Island under mysterious circumstances following a heartbreaking few days for her.

The 26-year-old is the fifth star to leave this week, and her exit will be shown tonight. Hopefully we get a glimpse of the two newbies as well.

It's set to be quite the shocker of an episode, tune in at 9pm on Virgin Media.

Amy Hart has officially quit Love Island and has left the villa this evening.

The air hostess was reportedly heartbroken after her break-up with Curtis Pritchard, following his head being turned in Casa Amor.

After returning from the other villa, Amy had to discover in front of everyone that her 'half' boyfriend was intending to couple up with another girl (Jourdan) but was rejected.

Amy wanted to give Curtis another chance to redeem himself, but the professional dancer ended things for good, saying he couldn't promise that his head wouldn't be turned once again.

The couple split up, and now Longford lass Maura has expressed her feelings for him, much to his surprise.

Amy was removed from the villa last week to seek psychiatric help from specialists, so perhaps the best thing for her to do is return to her family and friends for support.

She already expressed to Anna and Amber that she was struggling to cope with seeing Curtis act fine about their split, and couldn't stop herself from talking to him.

The 26-year-old has never had a boyfriend before, so this experience must have been extremely difficult to handle, especially on live television.

We truly hope the show gives her the adequate aftercare following this experience.

Phew, we feel like we can barely take a breath during this season of Love Island.

Tonight's episode looks set to be full of tension and drama, as not one but TWO couples are dumped from the island and the fellow contestants deciding who will remain on the show.

Offering audiences a break from the dumpings, the pure-as-gold Tommy Fury asks Molly-Mae Hague to be his girlfriend using Ellie Belly (their baby elephant teddy) and we're on the floor.

The duo are prepared to take their relationship to the next level and become the first official couple in a relationship in the villa. We can't cope.

Speaking with his villa BFF and newly-baptised menace, Curtis Pritchard, on the day beds, Tommy states: "I feel like now is the perfect time to call Molly my girlfriend. I feel it!" 

The lads then head up to the terrace with Tommy picking up Ellie-Belly en route, the model's adorable teddy. Tommy and Curtis sprinkle rose petals over the terrace, and at this point we have heart failure.

We all remember the significance of Ellie-Belly, don't we? When Molly had left for Casa Amor, Tommy carried the teddy around like a lost puppy and we all almost CRACKED with the cuteness.

At the recoupling and dramatic return of the girls from Casa Amor, Ellie-Belly was missing from Molly's bed and she assumed he'd found somebody else and replaced her. In reality, he was glued to his wifey's cuddly toy.

Curtis writes a message in eyeliner (pens are banned in the villa, weirdly) tonight for Molly-Mae and attaches the note to Ellie-Belly before placing him on the terrace seat.

A nervous Tommy goes over his plan in the Beach Hut: “Asking Molly-Mae to be my girlfriend was single-handedly the most nervous I’ve ever been in my entire life,” he says.

Tommy then asks Molly-Mae for a chat (always a big move in the villa). He says “Ellie-Belly wants to tell you something. He told me to come and get his Mum.” 

Molly-Mae reads the message attached to Ellie-Belly, which says: "Dear Mummy. Daddy left me here in his best interests. He wanted me to tell you that you’re his everything. I’m going to leave it with Daddy. So…"

Tommy then makes his speech; "On a serious note, you know how much you mean to me and you’re the only girl for me. I only want to be with you. Therefore, I was wondering if you wanted to be my girlfriend?” he asks.

The adorable moment brings a sense of relief to tonight's drama-filled episode, which will lead to four Islanders getting axed.

Anna Vakili's birthday bash will be interrupted by a text announcing the couple with the lowest votes from the public, who must leave the villa straight away.

The Islanders are sent another text afterwards that will announce the names of the next two couples in the bottom two, and the contestants will decide who stays and who goes. My GOD.

Eagle-eyed Love Island fans have already figured out a theory about which Islanders will be dumped from the villa tonight.

After last night's episode, the public vote opened for viewers to save their favourite pairing and it's set to be a massive shake-up to the couples.

Many of the duos are no longer dating, such as Maura and Marvin, Lucy and George and now Amy and Curtis, so there'll presumably be a recoupling taking place soon.

The couple with the least amount of support are expected to be booted out of tonight's show, as Iain Stirling revealed.

Many viewers are now claiming that Danny and Jourdan will be dumped, seeing as they've essentially been "edited out" of the show over the last few days.

Danny was in last night's episode less than Craig David, Ovie's tropical hat and Ellie Belly. Most of Twitter forgot that either Danny and Jourdan were even on the show…

Danny has already earned the nickname 'travel agent' seeing as anyone he couples up with ends up on the first flight home (RIP Yewande, we didn't deserve you).

ITV bosses have since revealed that not one but two couples will now be axed on Monday night, with only three weeks to go before the grand final.

It's Anna's birthday bash tonight, and it's revealed to the Islanders that the public have voted for their favourites and three couples with the fewest votes are at risk from being dumped.

As Amber and Jordan are both single, they're exempt from the dumping spree. Thank the Lord, because Amber is our life energy right now and we just can't lose her.

The couple who receives the fewest votes from the public will be announced around the fire pit and Tommy will get a text saying some crazy words;

“One more couple will be dumped, the other couple will remain in the villa. The couple which stays and couple that is dumped will be decided by your fellow Islanders.”

It's pretty clear that the public HATE Michael for how he's treated Amber (hello, toxic masculinity) and Joanna as a result. Plus, all the pair of them talk about is Amber. Ya boring. 

Who do you think will be voted out? We predict Danny and Jourdan, and the Islanders will possibly ditch Curtis and Amy as a shock result. Curtis is a devious man so he's welcome to pack his bags anytime…

Basically we want Amber and Ovie to realise their undying love for each other and take their friendship to the next level.

She said last night that she wants a six foot man with tattoos who loves a savage b*tch, and who is more savage than our dearest Amber? NOBODY. 

Think about it, the rom-com of 2019's summer. Ovie takes out Michael, and Amber eventually wins the show with him and then nabs the £50,000 for being the best Islander.

Then she splits the money like in Mean Girls when the Prom crown was divided, sharing her winnings with Anna, Yewande and Maura for being the greatest Love Island legend the game has ever seen. Mark our words.

Love Island fans have been left completely confused after spotting Curtis Pritchard and Amy Hart holding hands in last night's episode, and are now branding the show 'a fix'.

The ballroom dancer and air hostess looked back to their usual selves while running to see Craig David's DJ set, despite having just gone through a seemingly ugly break-up days before…

As the Islanders ran towards the iconic R&B singer, the ex's could be seen running hand-in-hand, and people were baffled.

Amy had been left absolutely heart-broken after a highly dramatic dumping at the hands of Curtis after his head was turned in Casa Amor, and he couldn't promise it wouldn't happen again.

Curtis came out of the whole debacle looking like a complete douchebag, having confronted Jourdan about his feelings for her despite only having had two conversations with the model.

Amy sobbed in the Beach Hut, saying that she had been made second best once again, while the audience glared seethingly at Curtis.

One Twitter user noted: “Curtis and Amy have broke up but they were just running down the stairs holding hands and laughing.”

A second added: “Amy and Curtis were just holding hands walking down the stairs when they noticed Craig David singing…..urm fix???? #loveisland”

The pair were seen dancing next to one another, even though Amy had just branded him a pr*ck only minutes before. It's all very strange…

Former contestants have previously opened up about how manipulative the producers can be, so it's extremely hard for viewers to decide what's real and what's fake.

What do you think, are Curtis and Amy secretly still together or are they just having a break-up hand-hold for old time's sake?

Okay you can STOP messing with our minds now, Love Island, for the love of God.

The latest clip has seen Michael Griffiths turn on the charm again with old flame Amber Gill, admitting he has doubts over his new girl Joanna Chimonides.

A sneak preview for tonight's episode shows the 28-year-old firefighter complimenting his ex, despite dumping her brutally earlier this week.

Amber has a private chat in the garden with Michael, who she has previously said she wants nothing more to do with, and she says;

"I don’t think you had any idea how much I liked you."

Michael replies: "For me, it was hard to see. I felt like I was constantly chasing you. I could not read you. I was constantly questioning it.

"I didn’t ever want to hurt you. I’m deeply sorry. I do want you to know that I’m still here for you."

He continues: "The whole Casa Amor thing, the second I saw the girls I went over and introduced myself to all of them.

"Joanna did stand out and the energy she gave off was the energy you gave off when I met you," Michael adds, which makes no sense because Joanna and Amber are nothing alike…

"I didn't know whether she was just 20 per cent of what I wanted or if she will be 80 per cent of what I wanted, and I still don't know."

Amber replies bashfully, saying: "I know I don't open up to people, I don't show people how much I like them.

"And it's my own f***ing fault so I don't know what I expect."

Michael became an enemy of the people for treating Amber so badly on the ITV2 reality show, gaslighting the life out of her and blaming her for his own decision to dump her.

The tattooed contestant explains to her: "I know you've got a heart of gold, you've just got a strange way of showing it sometimes.

"And yeah, you do make me laugh." Amber smiles as she replies: "Yeah, I know that – I know for sure."

She jokes: "Watching you with lovely Joanna who is not catty and lets you talk about your issues but she doesn’t make you laugh as much as me though!"

Newcomer Belle asks Molly-Mae and Maura if they think that Michael still has feelings for Amber, and both women are quick to say that he definitely does.

Sneaky footage leaked has also shown Ovie on a date with Amber, as the fans were begging for, so we wonder will Michael get jealous?

We're all counting down the minutes until the finale of hit reality show Love Island, but what if there was a special venue hosting a live screening?

The Cupid-style series has gripped the entire nation for the last four weeks, and it's popularity is only growing according to social media and viewer statistics.

Widely regarded as a cultural phenomenon, the world and it's mother has been discussing the shameful antics of Curtis and Michael in their betrayal of Amy and Amber, the hilarious Longford lass Maura and other highlights from the Lucie/Joe/Tommy love triangle and the Ellie Belly Fury family to Yewande versus Arabella and Anton's lack of game.

Popular Dublin sports bar The Living Room has just announced that it will host a live screening of the finale on Monday, July 29 from 9pm until 11:30pm and seeing as admission is free, the place is bound to be jam-packed.

Seeing as Love Island is now as popular as any world class sporting tournament, it's unsurprising that such a large venue has taken to airing the eagerly-awaited finale.

Irish viewers were gutted to see Irish scientist Yewande Biala dumped from the island weeks ago, but Maura Higgins has been flying the tricolour high and proud.

Audiences have even declared that the ring girl has been carrying the entire season on her back, and we have to agree. The gal speaks the God honest truth at all times.

Her new declaration of lust for Curtis has set chins wagging, so it should be interesting to see which lad she eventually ends up with.

Time will tell, but The Living Room looks like the perfect location to sit back, have a summer cocktail or a pint and soak in the last episode of a pure gas series.
