Love Island fans were left in shock during Wednesday’s episode as the latest brutal twist was revealed.
Following a recoupling, Blue and Shea were left single and at risk of being dumped from the island.
A text then explained that the pair would have to pick who between them would leave the villa in a dramatic show first.
Blu was quick to state, ‘I ain’t f***ing leaving’, with Shea also making it clear he wasn’t willing to leave.
Fans were surprised by the new rule, and were left questioning how the boys would make the decision.

A text then explained that the pair would have to pick who between them would leave the villa in a dramatic twist, leaving their co-stars in shock
One viewer wrote on social media platform X: ‘So like what happens now? Rock, paper, scissors or?’;
‘Okay the producers ate that one little thing. They’re gonna fight to the death to stay I’m so excited’;
‘Got to be a catch to whoever decides to leave surely’;
‘BOMBSHELLS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE IMMUNE. Has Love Island forgotten its own rules??’
The 12th series of the ITV2 dating show returned to our screens earlier this week and has already seen one dumping.
After just 24 hours in the villa, located in Mallorca, motivational speaker Sophie Lee, 29, was booted off the show.
Now it’s one of the boys that will have to wave goodbye to the rest of the Islanders, which will follow off the back of the arrivals of the latest bombshells Shea, 25, and Remell Mullins, 24.
But annoyingly, fans of the programme will have to wait until Friday’s instalment to see who ends up leaving the show.

Following the arrival of first bombshell Toni, Semi pro footballer Shea Mannings (left) and fitness influencer Remell Mullins (right) are the latest arrivals
During Thursday’s episode, Alima kicked the recoupling off, giving Remell a shot after their earlier chinwag.
Toni was next, choosing Conor following a smooch they shared, while Megan stuck with Tommy.
Helena went for Harry amid their love triangle with Shakira, who went for Ben after the pair were originally coupled up.
Meg also stayed put picking Dejon, leaving Blu and Shea not in a couple.
Author Sophie was only in the villa for 24 hours before she had to leave.
Her departure came after the arrival of the first bombshell of the season, American beauty Toni Laites, 24, who decided to steal Ben Holbrough, 23, off Shakira Khan, 22.
This meant that Shakira was left single and had to try and find a connection with someone before the next recoupling ceremony.
She managed to leave a lasting impression on Harry Cooksley, 30, who decided to come forward to recouple with her, leaving his then-partner Sophie single.

Sophie Lee
NAME: Sophie Lee
AGE: 29
FROM: Manchester
OCCUPATION: Motivational Speaker and Author
WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? Someone who is fun, spontaneous, who has a lot of jokes and who is attentive. At the moment I’m only finding ones draped in red flags and ‘do not cross’ signs
IF YOU WERE THE CEO OF SOMETHING, WHAT WOULD IT BE? I’m the CEO of empowerment. I want women to feel beautiful and validated in themselves and feel their best self.
Dejon Noel Williams
NAME: Dejon Noel Williams
AGE: 26
FROM: London
OCCUPATION: Semi-pro footballer and personal trainer
WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? Someone who is beautiful on the inside and out, looks after themselves and is healthy
CLAIM TO FAME? My dad being an ex-professional footballer. I’ve met all kinds of famous people through him. When I was younger it was weird because he was just my dad, but we’d go to a game and fans were asking for photos. I’ve met David Beckham, he was really nice.
Megan Moore
NAME: Megan Moore
AGE: 25
FROM: Southampton
OCCUPATION: Payroll specialist
WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? I’d like to meet someone who is tall, with a nice tan, nice eyes and a nice smile. He needs to have a good fashion sense and a really good, funny personality that I can get on with
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR LOVE LIFE? Bankrupt, right now. But we’re going to make sales and get on that corporate ladder and be booming. Profits, profits, profits!
Tommy Bradley
NAME: Tommy Bradley
AGE: 22
FROM: Hertfordshire
OCCUPATION: Landscape Gardener
WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? A girl who is very ambitious, with a big personality, caring, but also someone that doesn’t take themselves too seriously. I don’t know if that’s asking for too much, but I want a bit of everything. I haven’t got a specific type in terms of looks, though.

Alima Gagio

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? A tall man with a handsome face. You know when you just look at a guy and they have that Disney prince look to them? That’s it
WOULD MAYA HIRE YOU FOR YOUR FLIRTING SKILLS? I think she’d hire me because I’m a good flirt. I always ask guys on a night out to guess which country I’m originally from. If they get it right, they can get my number.
But they never guess correctly so it works really well if you don’t want to give a guy your number. I’m originally from Guinea Bissau. If they’re close and I really fancy them, I’ll give them my number anyway.

Helena Ford

AGE: 29
FROM: London
OCCUPATION: Cabin Crew

Megan Moore
NAME: Megan Forte Clarke

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?
Someone who doesn’t take themselves too seriously and has a sense of humour. If they’re not bad looking, that’s always a plus.
I love a boy that’s a bit pasty, like Timothée Chalamet. I don’t mind scrawny, or a bit of a ‘dad bod’. I’m 5ft1 so any height really.
CLAIM TO FAME? Me and my friends made a Derry Girls TikTok for Halloween and it went a bit viral around Brighton. Sometimes I get stopped in the street about it. I’ve also done Panto.
Blu Chegini

Someone who is family oriented, has a lot of love to give and a lot of love to receive. Personality goes a long way.

CLAIM TO FAME? I’m the body double for Declan Rice. So when he does a shoot, any body close ups will actually be me. You’ll never see my face, but you’ll see my shoulder or chest, that kind of thing.
Conor Phillips
NAME: Conor Phillips
AGE: 23
FROM: Limerick
OCCUPATION: Professional rugby player
WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?Someone who is really sure of themselves, ambitious, a bit of a go-getter and good craic. I like dark eyes and I don’t mind a dominant woman.
WOULD MAYA HIRE YOU FOR YOUR FLIRTING SKILLS? Definitely hire. I ask girls if they want to go halves on a baby. It doesn’t work, but it gets them laughing. It’s an ice-breaker, not a serious question of course!
Toni Laites
NAME: Toni Laites
AGE: 24
FROM: Connecticut
OCCUPATION: Las Vegas Pool Cabana Server
WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? I’m looking for darker hair, definitely muscular but not too muscular. Super fit. Clean hair cut. Someone that can make me laugh – I’m super outgoing. And someone that’s quite active. Maybe one day we could start our own family together.
I WANT TO DATE A BRITISH GUY BECAUSE… I’ve lived in three different states and I’m still single. It’s time to try something new! I have some British friends and they’re pretty charming. I think all Americans love a good accent. British men are just more polite, with better manners.
