LOVE ISLAND TONIGHT: SUNDAY 28 JULY 2024

Here's a rundown of what happens on tonight's episode of Love Island, which continues on ITV2 and ITVX.

THE ISLANDERS REFLECT ON A DIFFICULT DECISION

Having been tasked with voting for the couples they think are the least compatible, the Islanders reflect on the tough decisions made the previous evening.

As Jessy gets ready in the dressing room she says: “The fact that we have such strong friendships here with everyone makes it even harder as well, even though friendships shouldn’t come into it, in the back of your head you are sending home a friend.”

Which couples will receive the most votes and how will it impact their fate on the Island?

MAYA MAKES AN UNEXPECTED RETURN 

Later that day Maya heads into the Villa for a shock announcement.

Leaving the Islanders aghast by her arrival, Maya greets them as she says: “Hello my honeys.”

As the Islanders stand before her, Maya reveals the results of last night's vote as she explains: “Last night, you each chose two couples who you thought were least compatible.”

Now that the Villa is made aware of what their fellow Islanders think of their relationships, one girl says to her partner: “It’s expected.”

Another girl remarks of one result: “That is savage.”

Revealing which couples are vulnerable and therefore at risk, Maya says: “Today, one final couple will be dumped from the Villa ending their Love Island journey and that decision isn’t in your hands. Your future on Love Island will be decided by some very familiar faces.”

As shock ascends across the Villa, Ciaran says: “No, what?”

THE VILLA IS ROCKED BY THE RETURN OF SOME FAMILIAR FACES

With the vulnerable Islanders awaiting their fate a procession of former Islanders make their way into the Villa.

Led by the first dumped Islander of the series Sam and followed by Patsy, Munveer, Samantha, Omar, Harriett, Ronnie, Uma, Wil, Jess, Hugo, Grace and Reuben, they all gather around the fire pit.

Having returned to the Villa, the ex Islanders now hold the power to decide which couple they think should be dumped from the Island.

Maya informs them: “Today, you all have a very important decision to make, you must now individually decide which of these four couples you think are least compatible and you would like to dump from the Villa. The couple with the most votes will leave the Villa immediately.”

Patsy is first to stand and make her decision as she says: “I have picked this couple because I think out of all the couples it’s just my opinion that maybe it’s the least genuine connection and maybe the guy has got a game head on and is thinking more about the game rather than the girl.”

As Harriett stands to reveal her decision she says: “I’ve decided to pick this couple because I feel like the boy in this couple might still have feelings for someone else.”

As one boy stands to make his decision, one of the vulnerable Islanders quips back and says: “You’re such a hater bro.”

SAMANTHA SAYS HER PIECE 

As drama ensues around the fire pit the dumped Islanders come towards the end of making their decisions as Maya says: “Samantha, stand up please.”

Samantha stands before going on to reveal her decision as she explains: “It is a really hard decision, I haven’t met half of you because I was only here for two weeks. I do think this person in particular has a game plan and he has since day one.”

Samantha continues: “I do think he has a lot of opinions on everyone else's relationship but as soon as it comes to his own he bites the bullet a bit doesn’t he. Personally, I don’t think that this person deserves to be in the final so I’m picking…”

TWO ISLANDERS ARE DUMPED FROM THE VILLA

With the dumped couple and remaining Islanders heading back into the Villa to help them pack their bags.

But which couple's Love Island journey has been cut short by their former Islanders and will therefore be dumped from the Villa?

Love Island airs Sun-Fri at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
