Your support makes all the difference.Tonight's episode of Love Island was a celebrity special, with Craig David treating the Islanders to one of his legendary DJ sets and Amy Schumer sending a special message to the contestants via Aftersun.
However, even Craig David wasn't enough to keep Joanna, Amber and Michael from snarling at one another, as Joanna wondered if Michael was having second thoughts after dumping Amber to recouple with her.
Here are the biggest talking points from the latest episode:
Anna and Jordan are a thing again
After dithering for what seemed like an entire year, Anna finally admitted (kind of) that she wanted to get back together with Jordan. Ovie wasn't too impressed, and didn't make a great impression of himself when he walked away from a conversation with Anna before telling Jordan: "You can have her." "I'm not a piece of meat to be passed back and forth," Anna later told him, to the cheers of Love Island viewers and guilty feminists everywhere.
A brutal double dumping took place
In one of the most excruciating scenes of the series so far, Maura and Lucie decided it would be a great idea to dump their respective partners, Marvin and George, at the same time. Marvin and George were not impressed, but to be honest they don't really add anything to the show anyway, so who cares.
Maura has told Curtis she fancies him
While a devastated Amy looked on, Maura made her move on Curtis after deciding she fancied him. This was after failing to make him clock on that she liked him via dance lessons and very obvious flirting. Not the brightest bulb in the tanning bed, is he?
Craig David performed!
In a genuinely great moment, Craig David just randomly rocked up to the villa (we knew he was going to, obviously) to perform a DJ set for the Islanders. Admittedly they were weirdly positioned about 50 feet away from where he was performing, but maybe that was so they could get the right camera angles or something. Anyway, it looked like fun.
The liveblog is now closed
OK this is what I got from Amber to Ovie: "No no no no no no no, don't, yeah I know, but, no no no, you won't, but, yeah I know...."
But it seems to have worked, because he seems to have calmed down about Anna.
And, as I predicated A WEEK AGO, Anna is back with Jordan!!!!
Michael is now getting a grilling from Joanna who thinks there's something going on with Amber. Waiting for him to call her childish.
Why does Michael always look like he'd rather be literally anywhere else.
Night time for the villa. Jordan and Anna are sleeping in separate beds?! Interesting.
So that was a great moment from Anna, who just confronted Ovie for telling Jordan he could "have her" – "I'm not a piece of meat to be passed back and forth." YES, ANNA.
Gosh, are we on another break already? And the preview shows Maura going in for the kill with Curtis. I can imagine Amy will be very unhappy about this, and there may be shouting. But as we know, Maura gives zero f**ks about any of that.
