LOVE Island viewers were left stunned after a dramatic recoupling ceremony brought unexpected twists and the formation of a brand-new couple.
Love Island viewers are already backing a new pair as their winners – and have slammed one boy following his brutal confession.
Love Island viewers backed a new couple to win tonightThe boys were given the power to pick the girls and Tommy chose EmilyBen coupled up with Helena and Gio chose Yasmin
The mayhem followed Friday night’s emotional dumping, which saw Megan and Remell sent home.
That left Conor and Alima single and vulnerable heading into the next recoupling.
But the biggest surprise of the night was Tommy and Emily finding their way to each other.
They were both recently ditched by their respective partners, Conor and Megan.
Tommy had first pick and in a heartfelt speech, he chose Emily, saying: “Everything happens for a reason”.
Gio was up next and went for Yasmin, calling her a calming influence who helps balance out his more fiery side.
Things got a little tense when Harry chose Shakira, after the Snog, Marry, Pie challenge, where he kissed his ex, Helena.
Despite still feeling hurt, Shakira decided to give Harry another shot.
Dejon brought the romance back by choosing Meg and his speech melted hearts across the villa as he told her she was the only one he ever truly wanted and that he felt safe with her.
Ben followed with a decision that kept the love triangle drama alive, picking Helena and saying he had to go with who he vibed with the most.
Harrison picked Toni, sharing that they naturally gravitate toward one another.
Conor, left single after Megan’s departure, chose Alima.
He called her one of the funniest people he’s ever met and someone he can always talk to.
But all eyes were on Tommy and Emily later that evening when they had a private chat on the Terrace that sealed the deal for many fans.
Tommy opened up about his gold necklaces, which he got in Italy.
Emily, inspecting one, joked it looked like a tooth — but mispronounced it as “tuth,” completely baffling Tommy.
The playful moment led to their first kiss outside of a challenge, sending fans into a frenzy online.
Social media quickly crowned them the show’s new frontrunners, with fans calling them their “official winners”.
One said: “Facebook mums are making Tommy and Emily their winners after that kiss!”
Another said: “Tommy and Emily my winners”.
And a third said: “At this point I can’t tell who will win this show and usually you can it will more than likely be Tommy and whoever he couples up with.”
SHOCK CONFESSION
Meanwhile, Harrison was caught making a shock confession about his recoupling speech.
He told Helena afterwards he actually wrote the emotional speech for her.
He said: “I planned the speech and I thought the whole time I was there it would be with you.
“I was so ready, so ready to sleep in a bed with you.”
The recoupling saw new romances energe and confessions being made

LOVE Island fans have branded Helena the “real villain” after she made a shock comment to Harry during the Heart Race Challenge.

And on tonight’s show, viewers have demanded Helena is “axed” after she made a move on Shakira’s man yet again, despite Harry choosing to couple up with Shakira earlier that day.
The infamous heart rate challenge will once again make a return to the Love Island villa.
The Islanders took it in turns to dance a sexy routine for the opposite sex while wearing a heart monitor.
But it was Helena who left the boys reeling when she made a beeline for footballer Harry.
Kneeling on the floor, she suggestively sucked his finger as the boys were practically screaming.
Helena then whispered in Harry’s ear “I want to f*** you.”
He immediately told Tommy to pass it on to the boys afterwards, leaving Dejon is open-mouthed.
During his go, Harry whispered “do you still want to f*** me” in Helena’s ear.
Helena told the girls “he’d be an unbelievable s***, wouldn’t he?”
Viewers have begged bosses to dump Helena from the villa after taking it one step too far.
One wrote: “Helena is desperate as f***.”
A second posted: “Helena is the real villain of this series. Period.”
A third said: “Helena is a snake. She has no respect whatsoever for herself of others.”
A fourth said: “Helena babes do less, you look desperate (probs cos you are).”
Earlier that day, Shakira has a stern word with Harry about kissing Helena in yesterday’s challenge.
When she asked him why he did it, Harry explained he had no reason to kiss anyone else.
Despite her head telling her to end it, Shakira decided to give Harry one more chance and urged him to close the door with Helena for good.
Shakira then pulled Helena for a chat, where the latter explained there was no malice behind the kiss.
Helena then admitted that she been finding it hard to switch her feelings off for Harry.

IMMIGRATION cops began cracking down on illegal delivery riders yesterday — after The Sun blew the lid on a nationwide racket.
Asylum seekers suspected of earning from Just Eat takeaway drops while claiming taxpayer handouts had phones and bikes seized in the London swoop.

The operation lasted several hours and led to a number of arrests for illegal working and breaching bail conditions.
One rider, who had his mobile taken by an officer, denied working for a food firm before the phone rang, and the officer asked him: “Why are Deliveroo calling you now then?”
Bosses from the firm, plus Just Eat and Uber Eats, were last night hauled into the Home Office for a dressing down. They have now pledged to flush out their illegal workers with stricter vetting.
The food giants were read the riot act at the precise moment Immigration Enforcement made their first swoop outside the Thistle City Barbican hotel in London.
More than 20 cops in stab vests scrambled from unmarked cars to pounce on migrants as they returned from shifts.
Officers confronted at least ten men, two seen with delivery-branded food bags on bikes.
One, with a scarf covering his face in the 32C heat, screamed at enforcement officers to “f*** off” and “respect their rights.”
Cops took screenshots from phones, and told the men to open delivery apps so evidence could be collected.
Some were released back to their accommodation. One swigged from a bottle of Captain Morgan rum as he moaned about the “rubbish food” at the hotel and complained he was only given “rice and tuna.”
A second swoop at 4pm saw one cyclist put into an unmarked custody van.
Immigration cops were seen sliding items, including what appeared to be a phone, into an evidence bag after searching the bearded migrant and his bike’s pannier bags.
A third enforcement team was still at the hotel last night.
I commend The Sun on their campaign to shine a spotlight on illegal working in the food-delivery sector
Yvette Cooper, Home Secretary
By 6pm there had been a number of arrests for illegal working and breaching bail conditions.
They included nationals from Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Despite the raids, the migrants will still likely continue to stay in taxpayer-funded accommodation to press on with their asylum claims.
In recent days we exposed how asylum seekers get delivery work within ten minutes on social media groups dedicated to flogging delivery accounts to “sub-contractors”.

Squalid reality of workers
By Bas Javid, Director of Immigration Enforcement
MIGRANTS sleeping in cramped and overheated caravans, being paid far below minimum wage.
Employers forcing people to work in dangerous construction sites or dirty kitchens for less than £1 an hour.
This is the reality of illegal working in the UK.
The Sun’s investigation has been highlighting migrants earning money by working illegally as riders for takeaway firms.
Anyone who employs illegal workers, either knowingly or through ignorance of the law, undermines our entire immigration system and economy. That’s why my officers and I are using every avenue to put a stop to it.
After today’s meeting with Deliveroo, Uber Eats and Just Eats, all three firms have now pledged to increase the number of facial verification checks over the next 90 days to clamp down on illicit account sharing.
Without enforcement, the system breaks down and fuels the business model of people-smuggling gangs who peddle that the UK is a land of milk and honey.
Rules need to be enforced and it’s our job to ensure we work hard to do just that. Since July 5 last year to May 31, arrests are up 51 per cent compared with the previous 12 months.
There is no hiding place from our enforcement teams and you will feel the full force of the law.
Hailing our campaign Ms Cooper added: “We have, today, secured important commitments from major food delivery providers, including Deliveroo, Just Eat and Uber Eats, for daily facial recognition checks for drivers that work with them.
“We are also stepping up our enforcement in this area, with plans to seize electric bikes kept outside asylum accommodation, and more raids on hotels or dispersed accommodation where illegal working is suspected to be a problem.”
Tory Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp added: “I want to see police action like this happening at scale every day until illegal working has been eradicated.
“This practice creates a pull factor to the UK for illegal immigrants in Europe, and endangers women who may receive a delivery from an unvetted and unknown illegal immigrant who has only just arrived by small boat.
“Deliveroo, Just Eat and Uber Eats should be ashamed of themselves and should feel the full force of the law for what they’ve done.”
The firms have pledged to bolster facial verification checks within 90 days to snare chancers.
Deliveroo, Just Eat and Uber Eats should be ashamed of themselves and should feel the full force of the law for what they’ve done
Chris Philp, Tory Shadow Home Secretary
Just Eat said it would conduct checks daily instead of monthly, and “fully supports” Government efforts to tackle illegal working.
Deliveroo said it takes a “zero tolerance approach to anyone abusing our platform”.
Uber Eats said it is “committed to tackling illegal working and welcome continued collaboration with industry and the Home Office.”
Ministers will today start enforcing the first elements of a crackdown on legal migration — raising skilled worker visa requirements to degree level.
The Home Office claims this will see 111 fewer occupations for which foreigners can get papers.
MIGRANT’S SELFIE JOY
By Michael Hamilton

A BRAZEN migrant holds an expensive smartphone to film himself on a dinghy leaving France for the UK.
The stowaway — in a cap and with an orange lifejacket — raised his arms in apparent celebration as the small boat left Gravelines, near Dunkirk, for the perilous journey.
He was at the front of a dinghy packed with 40 to 50 men which left yesterday morning.
Others on board appeared to sign the V for Victory salutes. Figures showed 585 migrants arrived on Sunday, taking this year’s total to over 19,000.
An onlooker said: “It was shocking to see one appearing to film it or take selfies.”
Reform MP Lee Anderson said: “This shows migrants acting brazenly and effectively giving us the V-sign.”
Experts fear the weather this week may bring small boat arrivals in 2025 to 20,000.

“Yeah, I think that’s also a big part of why we’re different is ’cause I know he kind of like tells his box what to do, and he probably would have noticed if I was in there. I kind of, like, zone out most of the time.
