Love Island returned on Monday and after promising a series of twists, Maya Jama was sure to deliver.
The Islanders were coupled up earlier in the day after the girls matched themselves to dating profiles – but Maya returned later that night with big news.
After a day of getting to know each other, the couples were gathered at the fire pit where they were dealt the news that American bombshell Toni Laites would be entering and stealing one of the boys.
Forced to make her decision on the spot, Toni, 24, picked taxi driver Ben Holbrough – leaving construction project manager Shakira Khan, 26, single and vulnerable.
Maya revealed that Shakira would have just 24 hours to form a connection with one of the boys or risk being dumped from the island.
In order to stay in the villa, Shakira would have to convince one of the boys to leave their partner the following evening.
If she manages to do this whichever girl is left single will be dumped… but if she doesn’t, it’s Shakira who will face the chop.
At the start of the episode, the ladies – Shakira, Meg, Alima, Sophie, Megan and Helena – were first to enter the villa with talk soon turning to the boys they could potentially couple up with.

However, in contrast to recent series, it wasn’t the viewers that would be picking the couples, but instead the girls were tasked with choosing their boys based on their dating profiles.
Explaining the huge change, Maya told the girls: ‘This year things are slightly different. You’ve told me what your type on paper is, but does that match your ideal man in reality? Come and join me by the pool.’
As the girls lined up, she continued: ‘Girls, in front of you there are six love hearts and each boy has given me their dating profile which is written on each of these hearts – shall we have a look at what these boys have to offer?’
The girls then checked out the descriptions of the island’s boys – Ben, Dejon, Harry, Conor, Blu and Tommy.
They then had to decide to who they’d like to pair up with based on key stats with the boys’ name, age, job and a headline.

Despite having the Spanish language in common, Alima and Blu were quick to confess they were not each other’s types
Headlines included lines such as: ‘I like to play hard and work harder! I love to play, so I work very hard…’ in order to help the girls make their big decisions.
After discussing the boys’ profiles and attempting to figure out which lad could be right for them, Maya then forced them to make their choice.
Counting to three, the stunner informed the ladies that they must run to their chosen heart, with only one girl allowed to stand next to each heart.
And after the girls had chosen their man, they were finally introduced to each boy – but it wasn’t all love at first sight.
Blu Chegini, 26, got eyebrows raising when he immediately made it clear stunning Scot Alima Gagio wasn’t his type on paper.
And Megan Moore, 25, also admitted that her couple Dejon Noel Williams, 26, also didn’t fit her usual man.
While Helena had a rough start as she insisted she was not interested in rugby players, before awkwardly being left to couple up with hunky pro player Connor.
