Love Island Fans Brace for Savage Twist as Exes Return to Drop a Final Bombshell

As the semi-final of one of the most dramatic Love Island seasons yet approaches, the tension in the villa is about to explode. Two more islanders are set to be brutally dumped, and this time, the decision will be made by none other than their former friends — and enemies — who aren’t pulling any punches.

One couple will be cut just before the final, leaving their shot at the prize in ruins. ITV’s latest teaser revealed a dramatic moment as all the former islanders return to the iconic villa for one last, game-changing decision, reported the Mirror.

ITV posted a sneak peek on Instagram from Sunday night’s episode with the caption: “First look! Ex-Islanders return for a savage dumping, and they’re not holding back.” The short clip has already sent fans into a frenzy.

Maya Jama is back in Mallorca to deliver the twist in person. Striding into the villa in slow motion, the host greets the remaining contestants. “Hello, hello, hello. Are you alright my loves? How was the dates? Are you all loved up? Well I have some very important news. Can you come and join me on the lawn?”

The final couples standing are Yas and Jamie, Cach and Toni, Harry and Shakira, Ty and Angel, and Meg and Dejon. But Maya wastes no time before dropping the bombshell: “Well today, one more couple will be dumped from the Love Island villa and that decision will be made by some very familiar faces.”

Among those returning is Sophie Lee, who was the first islander sent home back on day two. Also walking back into the villa is Tommy, a one-time fan favorite to win it all before being dumped by Shakira. Their return has fans already speculating which couple will get the boot.

“Sorry, but after Thursday and Friday, it’s gotta be Meg and Dejon. Their time is up,” one viewer wrote, reported the Daily Record. Another chimed in, “Harry & Shakira… your time is up!”

Some fans are so invested they’re feeling the stress in real time. “For all the years of watching Love Island, it’s my first time feeling this nervous about the finals. I swear my anxiety level is through the roof,” one fan admitted.

Others have strong opinions about who should stay. “Do the right thing and only let Yas, Jamie, or Cach near that money for goodness sake,” one user posted. Another was adamant: “I swear if Shakira, Toni, or Yas go home, I might have to have some therapy sessions.”

With just one episode standing between these couples and the final, the stakes couldn’t be higher. The returning ex-islanders have history with everyone still in the game, and their decisions are bound to stir up old drama — and maybe even settle a few scores.
