Love Island fans convinced islander is ‘playing a game’ after spotting clue in Casa Amor recoupling

The new couples hoping to find love are Abi and Mitchel, Amber and Sammy, Catherine and Elom, Ella and Ouzy, Leah and Montel, Molly and Zachariah and Whitney and Lochan.

Contestants Jess, Kady, Scott, and Tyrique were left high and dry as the new singletons.

It was, however, Ella and Tyrique's recoupling which shocked viewers.

Tyrique had recently shared his concerns about "missing the game", the dating game, that is, and that he wasn't too sure about investing entirely in his and Ella's relationship.

His words came back to haunt him and with the introduction of new contestant Ouzy, Ella finally made up her mind and pushed Tyrique to one side.

However, she soon learnt that Tyrique had a change of heart and decided he wanted to commit to Ella and that there was no other girl for him.

His change in tactics alarmed spectators, with many questioning if he was playing the bigger game of simply trying to win Love Island by any means necessary. 

One viewer said: "Tyrique is clearly playing a huge game because how do you go from 'I miss the game' to wanting to say I love you in a week, glad Ella recoupled she deserves better."

Replying to that tweet, another viewer said: "But we all know Ella will go back begging him like 'girlllll', Tyrique is one of the biggest gamer in Love Island like that man studied the game and came prepared like the mind games he plays on people is crazy, Ella better stand her ground!"

Another said: "Ty shouldn't take her back, but he's trying to win the gameshow so….lol."

Is he looking to play the down-on-his-luck lover to win the audience over? Will he want to get back with Ella?

One concerned viewer said: "Casa really castrated people's heart tonight", noticing Tyrique's disposition, another said: "He looked like he was about to cry."

Love Island airs on ITV2 at 9pm
