We've seriously missed seeing Amy Hart on our screens since her heartbreak over Curtis Pritchard's betrayal led her to quit Love Island.

While she may have cut her time on the ITV2 reality show short, the star has already landed a permanent role on another show.

ITV has announced that Amy will join Loose Women as a guest panellist, following a successful first appearance on the daytime show this week.

The Loose Women Twitter page made the announcement, writing; 

"We loved Love Island's Amy Hart so much that we’re having her as a guest panellist next Wednesday! We can’t wait to welcome Amy back to the Loose Women panel." Slay, bish. You don't need no man.

During Monday's show, Amy sat alongside fellow panellists Andrea McLean, Coleen Nolan, Jane Moore and Brenda Edwards, to discuss her time in the villa.

Amy made her time in the villa sound extremely positive, noting that it was time to put her mental health first;

"Taking myself out of the villa has made the bad stuff go away and now I only have fond memories of the show," Amy said at the time. "Curtis would not rub anything in my face. We spent 720 hours together, we spent all that amount of time together."

The former air hostess left the villa during dramatic scenes last week, saying to Curtis; "I’m leaving today but it’s a positive thing because I’m going to go and start the rest of my life today."

Amy has impressed ITV with her appearance on the show, it seems. She gushed to The Sun,

"I’m so excited, I’ve been a fan of Loose Women since I was 12. It’s my birthday tomorrow so this is the best present ever. I can’t wait to see the see the ladies next Wednesday."

She confirmed her new role on Twitter, writing; "I mean most people get flowers and chocolates for their birthday but… absolute dream come true! Thank you Loose Women I won’t let you down."

Ex-Islander Amy Hart has opened up about being forced to seek psychological help 12 times during her stint on Love Island following her break-up with Curtis Pritchard.

The air hostess walked out of the villa voluntarily last week and had to leave at least once to get help as she was in such an emotional distress.

She has now opened up about her heartbreak while on Love Island: Aftersun, revealing that she had to make use of the show's therapist on a dozen different occasions.

"I had therapy 12 times in the villa – but I've come out stronger," she told OK! magazine. "I deserve a man who loves me for who I am."

Amy had never had a boyfriend before meeting Curtis, and was destroyed following his decision to end things with her.

The shock move came after his head was turned by Jourdan Riane while Amy went to Casa Amor. Curtis also told her that he couldn't see a future with her on the outside, or marriage and kids.

The professional dancer decided to be brutally honest with the blonde bombshell, who sobbed in the Beach Hut and proclaimed that she couldn't stay and watch him crack on with other women.

Strictly Come Dancing professional and Curtis' brother AJ has claimed that Amy DM'ed him while speaking on talkRADIO.

"She spoke to me. She sent me a message actually afterwards and said she feels like she knows the family and she could only praise Curtis about being honest," he said.

AJ admitted that his brother was too ruthless while speaking to Amy about his feelings;

"Sometimes he was maybe a bit too brutally honest. He could have let her down a bit softer rather than saying, 'yes, I don't see myself marrying you and having kids with you'. "That was harsh, I'm not lying, it was harsh."

AJ and Curtis' mum Debi has also said that she'd like to meet the woman who had her heart broken by her son; "I would like to meet Amy. My heartache is there for Amy and for the parents," she said.

She continued; "When I watched the moment when Curtis told her how he felt, I couldn't stop crying because of all the emotion. I wanted to reach out and give Amy a hug.

"I was thinking of Amy’s mum a lot and I'm so happy Amy is with her family unit now because I know she will be fine and her and Curtis will be friends," she added,

Amy has a new look and seems better than ever, thank the Lord. She's 100 percent stronger after the experience, and we're proud that she speaks so openly about mental health.

Multiple sources have reported that several Love Island couples have had sex on the show in secret, but the scenes aren't being aired on TV.

Show bosses are allegedly choosing not to show this years' scenes due to fears of "ruining their lives". The show is infamous for the under-the-covers sex scenes and Islanders avoiding the camera.

Only two trips to the Hideaway have been made this year, with Curtis and Amy as well as Molly-Mae and Tommy appearing to keep things PG.

It's been revealed by an insider that many couples are "doing bits" and more, but producers have opted to conceal the footage to protect the mental health of the contestants.

"It hasn’t been shown on TV – bosses are worried about upsetting them and fear ruining their lives,’ the source added.

The Islanders have all told show producers that they were "not comfortable with their sex scenes being broadcast" and so "bosses have taken it all into account".

Last year, Love Island bosses would just show sex scenes if the participants chose to speak about their bedroom antics afterwards.

The change comes after former 2017 Islander Zara Holland had sex on TV and had her Miss Great Britain title stripped as a result. 

She told the Daily Star: "If I had my time on the show again I would definitely do things differently. I wouldn’t have sex for a start.

"It’s so hypocritical that everyone around me was at it like rabbits but I was the one who lost everything. And I only had sex once, in a private room, under the covers. I regret it," she continued.

“So my advice to this year’s islanders is think before you do it. It could haunt you for the rest of your career."

Amy Hart admitted to "doing bits" with Curtis Pritchard before she left for Casa Amor and he brutally dumped her and morphed into the Toxic Player of the Island (plot twist).

But according to his 26-year-old former 'half-girlfriend', no one wants to have sex on TV because it's been transformed into a family show;

"No one wants to have sex as it’s a family show now,’ she claimed to The Sun. ‘It used to be more niche but my 73-year-old nan and granddad are obsessed with it." Fair enough…

Steamy scenes ahoy: Love Island viewers tonight could be in for more than they bargained for, with Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury heading off to the Hideaway.

The private bedroom has only seen Curtis and Amy inside it so far this season, while no couple is thought to have had sex the room yet.

Seeing as Molly-Mae and Tommy became officially boyfriend and girlfriend last week and even dropped the L bomb, will they give in to the temptation of the Hideaway?

The teaser for the next episode sees the lucky couple spending the night there. Molly-Mae is left shocked as the Islanders choose her and Tommy to earn some privacy. 

Still dressed in her maid costume after performing a lapdance for the boxer in the Dirty Dancing challenge, she looks scarlet when she's chosen.

“It’s down to you to choose one lucky couple to have a sleepover," the text reads, which was delivered to Maura. A "Tommy and Molly-Mae" chant even erupts in the villa, much to Tommy's embarrassment.

Tommy had everyone's attention after he carried out his lapdance dressed in a boxing robe, before ripping off his trousers for his girlfriend.

Meanwhile, Amber is excited after getting Michael's heart rate racing in the challenge, but it gets chaotic as the girls must decide which boy is getting dumped from the island.

New Essex girl Francesca is torn between Curtis and Ovie, but World War Three will ensue if Ovie is told to leave. Honestly, he's the true hero of the 2019 series, and he deserves love at all costs.

Tune in tonight at 9pm to see what goes down in the Hideaway, and who must pack their bags.

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.

There are some absolutely hilarious characters in the Love Island this year, from Longford lass Maura's thick Midlands accent and outrageous personality and Tommy's philosophical musings based on musical lyrics, to Ovie just doing Ovie and Molly-Mae's posh persona.

But what if one woman could impersonate them all to comedic perfection for the good of the Irish nation?

Cork woman Hayley Ryan is doing everyone a massive favour by uploading video impressions of the cast, and we're cackling at them. They're beyond spot on:

The 21-year-old from Douglas uploaded her impersonations to Twitter four days ago and they've gone viral, racking up a combined 75,000 likes between Part One and Part Two.

We can't get over the accuracy of her Maura impression, especially the word 'Curtis', and her Lucie is too accurate. It's haunting. 

Hayley spoke to the Independent.ie about the phenomenal response she's been receiving, saying;

"I love the Love Island, I am hooked on it," she said. The whole lot of us sit down on the couch and watch it every night."

After sending her pals the videos of her impersonations, she was encouraged to upload them online and they took off.

The youngster would love to crack into the entertainment industry, potentially for a presenting job, but gave up acting for sport a few years ago.

Seeing as her impressions have caught fire online and nabbed the attention of names like MTV Challenge 33 star Zahida Allen and impressionist Al Foran, we reckon a few offers will be coming in for Hayley.

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.

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.
