Wednesday 6 July 2022 11:21 PM Love Island viewers left fuming after episode ends on cliffhanger before tense ... trends now

Love Island fans were left less than pleased on Wednesday night, when the show ended on a cliffhanger after teasing a recoupling would be taking place.

Viewers were shocked when the episode closed just as host Laura Whitmore walked into the main villa.

Many expressed their disappointment that none of the recouplings were seen, despite being teased in Tuesday night's preview.

One fan said: 'sending in my ofcom complaint for all these cliffhangers #LoveIsland'

While another agreed, tweeting: 'WHO EVER DID THAT CLIFFHANGER DESERVES LIFE IN PRISON'.

An annoyed viewer chimed in: 'They teased the whole recoupling just not to show any of it'.

A fourth echoed: 'A WHOLE 5 MINS OF LAURA FLICKING HER HAIR IN SLOW MO'.

And a fifth complained: 'This episode was the biggest waste of time #LoveIsland'.

Elsewhere in the episode, the boys continued to crack on with the new girls in the main villa.

Jacques O'Neill made the decision to end things with Mollie Salmon, but went full force with Cheyanne Kerr, leading them to sharing a kiss on the balcony and getting frisky in the swimming pool.

But his current partner Paige Thorne remained positive, and after hearing about the recoupling said: 'I am one of those people that is a glass half full, I am actually really excited to go back just so I can see Jacques again.'

Meanwhile, Dami said his head was 'scrambled' after he grew closer with Summer Botwe, despite being coupled up with Indiyah Pollack.

Mulling over his big decision to stick or twist, Dami admitted: 'My head’s fried, scrambled, whatever way you like your eggs. That’s the way my head is right now. I’m scared.' 

And Indiyah herself was having doubts after growing a connection with Deji Adeniyi, but admitted she does still have a connection with Dami before saying that if she did take Deji back to the villa, then she would still want to get to know Dami too.

'Obviously I have a connection with Dami, there's not nothing there. But in the real world, I'm used to dating. It doesn't invalidate my feelings for anything,' she explains.

'Hypothetically speaking, if you were to come back to the villa with me I would have to have those conversations still with Dami.'

Davide Sanclimenti shared a few kisses in bed with Mollie, but admitted that he was still thinking about his connection with Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu.  

Jay Younger - who has been romancing Chyna Mills - gave Davide some advice about his situation.

He advised: 'Right now it’s quite obvious I think you still have a connection with Ekin, and you don’t just wanna throw that to the side out of spite, it’s not right man.'

Davide then confessed: 'I make myself many problems…Let’s see today how it goes.'

In the beach hut he added: 'I think about her often and our connection'. 

While Ekin-Su shared a hot moment with George Tasker in bed, leaving viewers confused over what had gone down.

Pulling him for a chat, Ekin-Su said: 'It is something that happened in the heat of the moment, obviously you were sharing a bed with me. I just thought this has to stop because it wasn't right.'

'I didn't even kiss the guy, we were just cuddling and it got a bit heated,' she later confirmed to the beach hut.

And Andrew - who has been sharing a bed and more than a few kisses with Coco Lodge - broke down as he thought about Tasha Ghouri.

Discussing the betrayal he felt from Tasha he says:  'I literally opened up to her', while Jacques muses: 'You don’t need to be afraid to show emotion and be upset though, do you know what I mean?”

'I know we’re supposed to be tough and that but sometimes it’s just good to get it out.'

When speaking about opening up to Tasha during their time together, Andrew says he feels he was 'with someone and not being enough.'

'I'm just not enough for the girl that I wanted,' Andrew says to Jaques.

'Tasha was what I wanted, I felt like we were building something but I was just there because I was easy for her,' he adds in the beach hut.

Meanwhile, Tasha confessed to being nervous about the recoupling, after forming a connection with Billy Brown, saying: 'Ok things are getting real now…'

She tells the girls about sharing a kiss with Billy, before admitting to him: 'I genuinely think if you were in from the start, it might have been different.'
