“That was one of the most embarrassing things I’ve been through in my entire life” – Love Island star breaks down in tears after brutal recoupling betrayal shatters the villa and leaves Islanders — and even family members — reeling - suong

   

LOVE Island star Cach shows his vulnerable side tonight as he sheds tears over Toni's decision to recouple with Harrison.

Both he and Lauren, who was previously partnered with Harrison, were left shell-shocked when Toni decided to couple with her ex, despite having 'removed' herself from a love triangle that same day.

The wheels for the surprise decision were set in motion when Harrison orchestrated a secret chat with Toni on the terrace in which he told her he wanted her to pick him.

She duly did, even though he'd only had sex with Lauren the night before.

Harrison tells Toni tonight: “I feel like my head wanted one thing and my heart wanted another, but unfortunately the heart gets what it wants.”

The pair then go about apologising to their former partners, who are both devastated by the betrayal.

Lauren says to Harrison: “I’ve wasted my whole time getting to know you for no reason… To do what you’ve done to me tonight is so disrespectful.”

She adds: “I feel like everything has been a lie."

 

Meanwhile, Cach tells Toni: “That was one of the most embarrassing things I’ve been through in my entire life…

"You knew what decision you wanted to make, you were just waiting for the go ahead from someone else.

“I can’t respect that. Good luck with your endeavours."

He then walks away from her and seeks comfort from his Casa Amor pal Ty on the terrace.

It all proves too much and he begins to cry.

Cach admits: “I can’t believe I’m crying. I haven’t cried in years.”

Reassuring him it's OK, Ty says: “This is real though, it’s you. It’s better to let stuff like this out than bottle it up. It doesn’t make you any less of a man, in fact more of a man.”

The shock of the recoupling has been felt far and wide, and even Toni's own mum is disappointed in her decision.

Speaking in a new TikTok video, she said: "I feel like I just watched my daughter walk onto traintracks, and there is a bullet train coming at her. I can’t scream at her… I can’t grab her…"

Struggling to hold back her tears, Leslie continued: "I thought I could hold it together… I’m really disappointed and I’m sure many of you are as well. 

"I feel like, at one point, she really woke up and I was like, ‘I’m done’.

 

"She’s smarter than this and has more pride than this - so I don’t know what is in the water over there, or what is happening. I’m devastated that Cach was so hurt in all of this. 

"She blew her chance with a really good guy, who would’ve treated her nicely and with respect - as we’ve seen him do."
