Michael Griffiths left his original partner Amber Gill single when he chose Joanna Chimonides in a shock Love Island recoupling.

The dramatic moment followed the show’s Casa Amor twist where the original girls left the villa to head off to a second luxury residence with six new boys. The original boys stayed behind to meet six new girls.

Michael began questioning the true extent of his feelings for Amber as he started spending time with Joanna.

Meanwhile, Amber stayed fiercely loyal to Michael, even opting to sleep outside instead of in a bed with one of the new boys during her time at Casa Amor.
