Dumped Love Island couple can leave or DATE new contestants in explosive twist

Ellie and Charlie were dumped from the Love Island villa last night – and another loved up couple will face the same fate tonight.

But in an explosive twist, the couple who the islanders choose to evict will be given the choice to leave, or split up and date the four bombshells who are gearing up to move in.

Sam and his “loyal” partner Georgia will go up against Wes and Megan, with their fate resting with their fellow islanders.

In scenes to be aired tonight the group take their time over a lengthy discussion before Josh reveals: “We would like to save this couple because, they have had their doubters, both inside and outside of the villa and as a group, we believe that they can go the distance.

“It wasn’t an easy decision at all, there was serious debate and people put forward very good points, pros and cons for both couples.

“But in the end we have managed to make a decision even though it was a hard one.”

Host Caroline Flack then reveals the twist, telling them: “You haven’t been saved by the public or your fellow Islanders. Therefore, you cannot stay on Love Island as a couple. This doesn’t have to be the end of your Love Island journey.

“It’s a huge decision, it’s either split up and remain in the villa or stay together and leave. Before you make that decision, I can tell you there are two new boys and two new girls waiting to enter the villa today.

“If you decide to split up and stay on the Island, you will each date two new Islanders and head back to the villa. You will decide who to couple up with on the next recoupling.”

She continues: “But you can’t be with each other. If you decide to stay as a couple, you will leave immediately without returning to the villa. You can take some time now to talk it out and come back to me with your decision.”

With Georgia’s every second spent reminding her mates how “loyal” she is, will she stick with Sam and pack her bags if it's them who face the chop?

Or will she “keep him on his toes” by opting to date the newcomers?

Love Island is on ITV2, tonight at 9pm
