Love Island is heading for a complete shake-up as the final gets closer.
The popular ITV2 series is nearing the end after a bunch of sexy singles have spent the last seven weeks getting to know each other.
Things have heated up in the last few days, with the Grafties taking a toll on the remaining couples.
And things are about to take a complete turn, according to reports.
The Sun has claimed that three couples have switched their partners as that £50,000 prize gets closer.
The villa's dynamic could be soon set to change after a brutal re-coupling ceremony.

The couples have not yet been announced, but it's thought viewers will find out during Sunday's episode.
A source told the publication: 'It's fair to say the fallout of the Grafties has had major repercussions.
'No one would've seen this re-coupling coming a week ago.'
The final is fast-approaching, with it taking place on August 4.
Daily Mail has reached out to ITV for comment.
It comes after the very surprising casting method used by Love Island bosses to select contestants for the show has been revealed.
It's been reported that ITV execs have admitted to using artificial intelligence as part of the casting process for the reality TV show.
After the cast of the 2025 series was revealed earlier this year, fans were quick to mock the newbies as 'clones' of the previous stars, with the likes of Megan Forte Clarke being compared to 2019 islander Maura Higgins.

And now The Sun reports that automated technology has been used to whittle down the thousands of applicants for the show.
Speaking as ITV announced its half-year results, ITV chief executive Dame Carolyn McCall shared: 'We will use AI in any way we can to make what we do more efficient.
'And a great example of that for me from (ITV) Studios is they’re using a tool where it’s a smart editing assistance and it’s about speed and quality. And they used it for Love Island and casting this year.'
An ITV spokesperson confirmed that AI was not directly used to make casting decisions, but rather to edit hundreds of hours of footage into highlight reels for the team to watch.
They shared: 'It simply assists with the editing of audition tapes during the casting period.

'We get thousands and thousands of applications every year and we hold face to face auditions.
'When we get to the stage of narrowing it down to hundreds of prospective Islanders and we want to share audition highlights on a reel with the ITV commissioning team, to support the casting decision, we use the software (Quickture along with an Adobe editing programme) to edit the hundreds of hours of footage into highlight reels.'
They added that the process means the casting team can 'spend more time researching' and looking for more prospective Islanders.
