Both Islanders chose to twist, with Kai coupling up with Sanam Harrinanan, and Olivia choosing Maxwell Samuda, leading the pair to call things off.
But it didn't stop the pair from fighting it out in an explosive row, with Olivia slamming her ex as "fake" and demanded her former beau apologise for recoupling.

The star had got to know new bombshell Martin Akinola in the second villa, cruelly mocking she "didn't remember" Shaq's name in a shock twist.
The tearful scenes left viewers in shock, and dozens hit out – complaining to broadcasting regulator Ofcom.
A total of 337 complaints were made across the episodes aired on February 22 and 23 – with the Movie Night receiving 266 of those complaints alone.
Ofcom confirmed: "The majority of complaints related to Tanya's behaviour towards Shaq and Olivia's behaviour towards Kai."
Elsewhere, the regulator noted there had been some concerns over Will Young's mental health.
Will, 23, was seen looking upset as Jessie Wynter and Casey O'Gorman clashed over the Snog, Marry, Pie game.
This was followed by Olivia Hawkins' brutal claims that Jessie's feelings for Will are not true, but played up for the cameras.
Casey stuck in the knife and said Jessie is “playing a game” after she tried to involve herself in his situation.
Love Island returns tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX
