Love Island has announced a shock recoupling as reeling fans predict things will get 'very messy' following the outcome.

The latest episode of the ITV dating show aired on Sunday night as the islanders were gathered around the fire pit.

Just before the credits rolled on another attention-grabbing episode, a text was sent into the TV villa by bosses.

It read: 'Islanders, tonight there will be a recoupling in which the girls will choose which boy they want to couple up with.'

A further text message said: 'Boys, please stand in front of the firepit.'

The tension was palpable as the girls started to consider their options, while the boys nervously gathered.

Following the shock news, Love Island fans have flooded social media as they speculated on the results which will air on Monday's episode.

One viewer said: 'This recoupling is about to be so f***ing messy because if Helena goes first then Toni can’t pick Harrison.'

A second wrote: 'Noooo, that recoupling is going to be juicy.'

'It shouldn’t have ended on a cliffhanger but probably means the aftermath of recoupling is chaos,' said a third fan.

Meanwhile, the dramatic ending comes after a game of Spin The Bottle saw the villa descend into chaos.

In the game, whoever the spinning bottle landed on had take a card which read either truth or dare. It was up to the Islanders to get creative and think about a truth or dare for that specific person.

Helena landed on a dare and Dejon dared her to kiss the person that she'd chose to recouple with, she kissed Harrison, little surprise after she broke things off with Harry.

Up next was Megan, who pulls a truth card, leading Harry to ask how she genuinely feels about Conor.

She told the group: 'Me and Conor got on from the start and that got cut short so I feel like there's unfinished business there, as you would say [Harry]'.  

Elsewhere, fans were convinced one singleton had 'gone missing' and asked if they'd left the villa over their lack of screentime. 

Alima Gagigo, 23, has seemingly been absent from the drama in recent days as her fellow villa residents lap up the spotlight.

Unimpressed fans took to X following the latest show as they begged bosses to feature more of Alima, with one calming she'd not actually spoken on screen for the last two episodes.

They fumed: 'Is Alima still in the villa?': 'Alima got 5 seconds of screen time and we are halfway through this episode': '2 episodes and I've not heard Alima's voice': 'Can we see Alima please': 'Wait where is Alima'.
