Just when Love Island fans think they have seen every twist in the book this season, ITV is set to shake up the villa once again as they bring back some show favourites for a special episode on Sunday.
During Friday's episode, the show teased the return of OG islanders Uma, Harriett, Samantha, Will, Jess, Munveer, Patsy, Grace and Ronnie.
The group will head into the villa for a special episode on Sunday as they appear to dish the dirt and reveal their all important decision on who is next to leave the villa.
As the islanders walk back into the villa, Iain Stirling states: 'Guess who is back with a big decision'.
Their shock return to the villa comes just hours before the live final on Monday.
During Friday's episode the villa was thrown into chaos once again after a shock dumping just three days before the series ends.
In a dramatic new twist, the Islanders find out one more couple will be axed from the ITV programme, missing out on one of the four sought-after places in the grand conclusion.
It all begins when Sean, who is coupled up with Matilda, receives in a text that reads: 'Islanders, tonight each couple must vote for the two couples who they think are least compatible, those who receive a vote risk being dumped from the Island.
'You must now discuss in your couples who you're going to choose and then submit your decision by text. You must not discuss your decision with anyone else.'
Panic immediately sets in as the couples split off to cast their votes, with one boy telling his worried partner: 'Don't get upset it's alright,' to which she replies: 'I can't even look them in the eye after voting for them.'
After voting all couples are at risk from being dumped aside from Nicole and Ciaran.
The news of the dumping comes at the end of the programme, after the Islanders spend the day taking part in a fun sports day challenge.
In the morning, Ciaran receives a message that reads: 'Islanders, It's time to release your competitive side in today's Love Island Sports Day #PlayToWin #GoingForGold.'
Nicole and Jessy are team captains, with Nicole's team consisting of Ciaran, Josh, Sean and Jess as Jessy selects Joey, Ayo, Matilda and Mimii.
Nicole's blue team is named 'Who's Jess?' and Jessy's pink team is called 'Jenamas in Pyjamas'.
Each team partakes in five sports day activities in a bid to win points for their team and the first round is the egg and spoon race.
It seems the sports day even causes competition between Joey and Sean as Joey says: 'It ain't such a yolk now is it? To which Sean quips back: 'Don't steal my jokes mate.'
Meanwhile, Nicole playfully jokes to Ciaran: 'I'm deadly serious, if we don't win this it's done.'
The pink and blue teams undertake the hula hoop relay as they attempt to weave their bodies through a single hoop without breaking the link.
The Islanders also make a splash as they head to the pool for a lilo race - but one competitor sets off before the klaxon and is disqualified for cheating.
As the final draws closer, the couples also reflect on their journeys and what the future holds for them outside of the villa.
Nicole says to Jessy, Mimii and Jess: 'He has proved not all rugby boys are the same, I love him.'
Meanwhile Jessy informs the girls: 'We all knew where we stood anyway but we made it exclusive' and elsewhere in the garden Joey tells Sean: 'I ain't found someone like this in years, I'm actually ready to commit and I can't wait.'
Josh opens up to Ayo and Ciaran as he gushes: 'I've never had a connection that's gone so well so soon, I'm a happy man, I'm really chuffed.'
As their conversations continue, one Islander says: 'I'm just waiting for that L bomb to be dropped.'
It comes just after Grace Jackson and Reuben Collins bade an emotional farewell to their fellow Islanders after their shock dumping on Wednesday night.
Viewers were left in shock on Wednesday when the pair, voted the villa's 'least compatible couple' by the public, were booted out just days before the final.
During a group hug with most of the girls of the villa, a tearful Grace says: 'I’m going to miss you girlies so much.'
As they prepared their things, Reuben joked: 'Oh, my lady, it’s time for us to ride off into the sunset.'
Just before they exited the Villa, Joey headed over to Grace, his ex-flame from both inside and outside the villa, to say goodbye.
Reflecting on her experience in the Villa, Grace said: 'The fact that I’m walking out here with Reuben just makes it so much better.
Reuben agreed: 'It’s sad to leave everyone, however, look who I’ve walked out with, I’m winning regardless.'
ITV has confirmed that the date of the highly-anticipated 2024 live final will be on Monday, July 29 - meaning viewers have just days left to wait.
After eight weeks of romance, bombshells, and drama, one couple will be crowned the winners of the 11th series and take home the £50,000 cash prize.
Viewers can tune in to the finale action, hosted by Maya Jama, as usual from 9pm on ITV2, or via the channel's streaming service ITVX.
Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX
LOVE ISLAND 2024: MEET THE CONTESTANTS
NAME: Mimii Ngulube
AGE: 24
FROM: Portsmouth
OCCUPATION: Mental Health Nurse
WHY LOVE ISLAND? The pool in Portsmouth is not giving. I've tried dating and speaking to people on social media and it just hasn't been successful. Applying was a spontaneous thing, I didn't expect to get here!
WHAT WILL YOU BRING TO THE VILLA? My girls are my rocks and I'm theirs, so I'll be a good friend as well as going in there to find a man. I like dressing up, so I'll bring style, and I'd like to think I'm quite funny so I'll make people laugh. Bringing honesty as well - I'm good at picking up on people's personality traits and side-eyeing those who might be liars.
NAME: Sean Stone
AGE: 24
FROM: Hertford
OCCUPATION: Sweets Salesman
WHY LOVE ISLAND? I've always been one for relationships, and when you have found someone you want to be with it's the best feeling. Now is the perfect time, the one thing that is missing is my soulmate.
HOW WOULD FRIENDS/FAMILY DESCRIBE YOU? Very loving, caring and thoughtful. I'm the kind of guy that, if you broke down on the motorway and needed your tyre changed, I'd be there at any time of night.
NAME: Ayo Odukoya
AGE: 25
FROM: Canning Town
OCCUPATION: Model
WHAT WILL YOU BRING TO THE VILLA? I think I'd bring excitement and joy. I think people would have someone to come to and talk to and feel comfortable being around or to have a laugh with. I think I'm somebody everyone would take to.
WHY SHOULD SOMEBODY DATE YOU? I feel like the way I carry myself is very respectful and I think people take to that and once you show who you are to somebody you get it back tenfold. The way I am gives off a good enough energy for people to feel comfortable around me.
NAME: Nicole Samuel
AGE: 24
FROM: Aberdare, Wales
OCCUPATION: Accounts Manager
WHY ARE YOU SINGLE? I've been enjoying single life and the attention of different boys, it's fun. I've enjoyed being able to go on holiday with the girls and not having to worry about someone back home. All the girls are there texting in their room and I'm out till 4 in the morning living my best life.
WHAT IS SOMETHING NOT MANY PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT YOU? I became a world champion dancer in 2011, not many people know that. I was a professional street dancer.
NAME: Ciaran Davies
AGE: 21
FROM: Pencoed, South Wales
OCCUPATION: Surveyor
WHAT'S YOUR TYPE ON PAPER? Obviously looks but humour is a big thing for me, I'm a bit of a wind up so I want a girl who can give it back. Loyalty is another one for me: I think that's the most important thing to look for in a relationship.
WHAT IS SOMETHING NOT MANY PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT YOU? When I was in Malia on a boys holiday I pretended to be Liam Reardon from series 7 to get into a club because they wouldn't let us in. It worked and we ended up getting a private booth and free drinks all night.

NAME: Jessy Potts
AGE: 25
FROM: Leicester
OCCUPATION: Brand Partnerships Associate
WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU WILL BRING TO THE VILLA? I’m fun, I like to get involved, so I’d like to think I will get stuck in as soon as I arrive. I also have a very sarcastic sense of humour, so I’ll make everyone laugh, but I’m a Sagittarius, so I also have a fiery side and I'm not afraid to say what I think or stand my ground. I’m not very good at taking 'no' for an answer.
NAME: Jessica Spencer
AGE: 25
