FOLLOWING an explosive recoupling showdown on Love Island, Michael Griffiths felt the heat from several Islanders for dumping Amber Gill and subsequently pairing with Joanna Chimonides.
Meanwhile, Amy Hart was crushed by the revelation that Curtis Pritchard had broken her trust and decided to get to close to Jourdan Riane while she had been gushing about him in Casa Amor – but what else occurred?

What happened on Love Island tonight?
Amber made it known that she was disappointed to find out Michael had moved on with another girl, having disclosed to Caroline Flack: “I’m a loyal human being, that’s the way that I am, that’s what I wanted to do.”
Michael reasoned with his actions by telling the beauty therapist that he essentially didn’t feel as if she was into him as much as he would have hoped – at any rate not as much as Joanna in the span of only a couple of days.
In addition, the fireman mentioned to his former Island partner that he felt as though he generally needed to hold his tongue around her on the off chance that another contention was to emit, and with the manner in which things had been going, it was Joanna who made him understand that Amber wasn’t the right woman for him.
Amber was perplexed with the fact that Michael had never referenced any of these worries to her, with the hunk from Liverpool adding: “Every time I say something to you, you laugh in my face which I think is really disrespectful.”

Amber decided not to engage in the conversation any further – she realised that Michael had made up his mind and picked Joanna over him.
Dumped Islanders Nabila, Maria, Stevie, Daniel and Dennon said their goodbyes from the rest of the contestants while the newbies got to know their new housemates now that Casa Amor had officially closed its doors.
In an unmistakable exertion to attempt to have a civilised discussion, Michael and Amber sat by the flame pit to work things out – and surprisingly enough, Amber admitted to not always having treated him in the most ideal manner.
In light of the remark that she rudely laughs in Michael’s face when he’s having a discussion with her, Amber reacted, saying: “It’s just what I do, it’s not out of disrespect for anyone because I had loads of respect for you.
“Maybe it was wrong of me to just assume you understood way that I was and I should have said look I’m not being disrespectful, just laughing in these situations because it’s a bit awkward or I don’t really know what to say.”
Following their chat, Amber realised that she’d lost Michael for good, and while talking to Anna Vakili and Ovie Soko about her situation, it all started to sink in for her.
“I don’t have to speak to him anymore,” she disappointingly told her fellow pals. “What am I suppose to say, he said ‘I knew you’d laugh.’ Do you want me to break down in front of everyone? His whole attitude and demeanor have totally changed and if that’s really him then I’m disappointed.”

Anna, clearly furious that Michael had ditched her friend in favour of Joanna, decided to take things into her own hands and confront the 27-year-old.
The pharmacist threw endless verbal attacks, questioning how Michael could give up on his romance with Amber after all this time they’ve shared together.
Anna also struggled to come to an understanding as to why he’d pair with Joanna when he’s only known her for a few days – especially since Amber was reassured by him that he wouldn’t turn his head if there was another girl to enter the villa.
Michael defended himself by firing back: “When I said that, yes I did mean that. These little things that are overlooked where I bit my tongue are things that are massive to me.”
Things wound up getting so warmed between the two that different Islanders needed to intercede.
The following day, Amber received a text, which read: Amber and Joanna, you are going out for a catch-up. Please get ready to leave the villa. #storminateacup”
Elsewhere, Curtis at last admitted to Amy about the things that had been going on in the main villa while she was remaining faithful in Casa Amor.

The ballroom dancer appeared to hesitate when he told Amy that he’d somewhat made a move on Jourdan, adding that they also kissed during the challenges.
After finding out that he’d been turned down by the newcomer, Amy questioned Curtis’ loyalty, saying: “So she said no, so you were like ‘Oh right then go back to Ames.’”
Over the past couple of days, Curtis said that he’d made a mistake because he knew how much he would be losing if he hadn’t chosen Amy to be his partner in the villa – they’ve come this far that it would be sad to see them fall apart at this stage.
Amy had all the earmarks of being befuddled by the circumstance, having battled dealing with the way that Curtis had built affections for another girl in the villa while she was away.
Maura Higgins was clearly irritated by Curtis’ behaviour after telling Amy that if he was really in love with her, he wouldn’t have gone behind her back to get to know another girl while she was completely blindsided in the process.
Later on, Amy had enough, disclosing to Curtis that he’d totally broken her heart with his rash activities to see where things would go with Jourdan.
“I never thought you’d do this to me, you’re the perfect man after all. You are not. You can sleep on the day bed again tonight,” she said.

“I never thought he would do that to me. That’s not the Curtis I know. That’s not the person I’ve fallen in love with. I would never have looked at anyone else at all. He was my everything.”
Meanwhile, Anna – who returned with newcomer Ovie – felt regretful for proceeding onward with another person, so she chose to take Jordan up for a visit to work things out.
Anna told the model that she initially thought he would pick another girl and dump her because she never got the impression that Jordan was into her as much as she would have liked him to be – which apparently wasn’t the case at all.
She shared: “We never really tell each other how we feel… Since I’ve been spending time with Ovie and the way he’s acting I’ve been like, ‘Oh that’s how a guy acts when he really likes a girl.’”
The next day, Jordan confessed to Anna that he still missed her before sharing a quick cuddle with the Kim Kardashian lookalike, who added: “I miss you too it’s hard when you’re walking past and I’m not touching you.”
At last, Anna conceded that her affections for Jordan haven’t actually left the window since starting her romance with Ovie.
“I can’t walk past Jordan without wanting to hug him or kiss him. I can’t switch my feelings off… I still like Jordan.”
