Love Island hotted up last night as the Islanders were gathered ahead of a SHOCK dumping - with SIX stars facing the axe this week.
But between the drama, one lucky couple was given the opportunity to visit the Hideaway for a night of romance together.
Tasha Ghouri and Andrew, and Paige Thorne and Jacques had already visited the separate villa in previous episodes.
Viewers hoped that Indiyah, 23, and Dami, 26, would be next to go to the Hideaway - but Gemma, 19, and Luca, 23, were chosen instead.

Fans were left furious and took to Twitter to fume that the pair had been left until last, kickstarting another race row.
"Sending Luca and Gemma to the hideaway instead of Dami and Indiyah is hella racist, I don't care," one wrote on Twitter.
A second agreed: "Sending Gemma and Luca to the hideaway was just a wasted opportunity, they would’ve sent Dami and Indiyah instead."
A third added: "When will we see Indiyah and Dami in the hideaway? Must I riot?!" as a fourth said: "These lot are racist, Indiyah and Dami deserved the hideaway."

It comes after another race row began yesterday when Danica Taylor was rejected AGAIN - and faces axing from the villa.
The stunning dancer was first turned down by Luca, snubbed by Davide Sanclimenti in a recoupling, let down gently by Andrew for Tasha, and rejected by Jay Younger.
Fans were concerned for Danica after the star was rejected on Love Island yet again and some suspected racism played a part.
It was the girls' turn to choose their men in Wednesday night's episode and Danica, 21, selected Jay, 28 to couple up with.

Antigoni Buxton, 22, was left furious after Danica picked 'her man' Jay after getting "mixed signals" from him.
One fan said: "I don't wanna say it but the treatment towards Danica is giving racist," as a second agreed: "Racist undertones I think."
A third chimed in: "Someone send Danica a man please. Nothing less than a beautiful one."
Last night, the Islanders were left stunned as SIX stars were told they were standing on the brink of expulsion from the villa.
Andrew Le Page and Tasha Ghouri were among them after TV bosses handed the power balance of the show over to viewers.
