ITV Love Island extends tonight's episode for dramatic Casa Amor recoupling

ITV has extended tonight's episode of Love Island after last night's cliffhanger that left fans longing for more.

An explosive recoupling will be shown in Thursday's edition of the show as the contestants must decide who they want to pair up with following Casa Amor. To pack all the drama in, the episode has been extended to include an extra five minutes of footage.

The islanders were split up at the end of last week with the boys staying in the main villa and the girls in nearby Casa Amor. Both groups have been tempted by newcomers, but the islanders must now decide whether to stay faithful to their original partner or dump them for one of the bombshells.

Tonight's dramatic episode will see host Laura Whitmore return to the main villa for the highly-anticipated recoupling. In a teaser clip, she asks the new girls to stand up as the original boys sit tensely around the firepit.

"As you all know, tonight there will be a recoupling. Boys – each of you have a big decision to make," she tells the Islanders. “So I’m gonna ask you one by one if you want to stick with your partner who has been away in Casa Amor for the past few days, or whether you want to recouple with one of these gorgeous girls standing in front of you."

Once the boys have announced their intentions, they will one-by-one find out whether their previous partner has made the same decision. The girls will wak back into the main villa - either on their own, or with a new boy.

Islanders who chooses to stick with a partner who has decided to recouple with someone else will be left single.
