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 on Sunday as they bring back some show favourites for a special episode During Friday's episode, the show teases the return of OG islanders Uma, Harriett (left), Samantha, Will, Jess (right), Munveer, Patsy, Grace and Ronnie 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'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.

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.

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 : Joey Essex AGE : 33 FROM : Chigwell, Essex OCCUPATION : Reality star CLAIM TO FAME? The Only Way Is Essex FAMOUS EXES : Joey was in a relationship with fellow TOWIE star Sam Faiers from 2011 to 2014 with the pair getting engaged before they split.
He has also been spotted locking lips with former Love Island stars Ellie Brown and Maura Higgins. He also dated his Dancing On Ice pro partner Vanessa Bauer. NAME : Matilda Draper AGE : 24 FROM : Beckenham OCCUPATION : Recruitmant Consultant WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'LL BRING? I want to bring sunshine to the Villa.
I’m lighthearted and don’t take myself too seriously. If things get too serious in the Villa I’m going to throw in a little joke or a ‘would you rather’. 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. Jessica Spencer NAME: Jessica Spencer AGE: 25 FROM: London OCCUPATION: Fashion Stylist WHO DO YOU HAVE YOUR EYE ON IN THE VILLA? I have my eyes on Ayo, despite his connection with Mimii.
I fancy Ayo so much. Wil also seems like a catch and someone I want to explore a connection with. WHAT KIND OF ISLANDER ARE YOU GOING TO BE? I’m funny, flirty, sassy and ready to find love Josh Sunday Oyinsan NAME: Josh Sunday Oyinsan AGE: 29 FROM: London OCCUPATION: Semi-pro footballer WHO DO YOU HAVE YOUR EYE ON IN THE VILLA?
