Love Island in shock twist as schedule shake up sees islanders surprised by ‘special guests’ in villa TODAY

THE Love Islanders will be thrown a curveball in a series first as special guests arrive at the villa on Sunday night.

Viewers saw a glimpse of the action and Molly Marsh's dad making a beeline for Zach, in a first look at the end of Friday's episode.

It comes as producers decided to bring the historically explosive Meet The Parents episode forward.

Along with Casa Amor, Snog Marry, Pie, and Movie Night, the episode where parents grill their kids' love interests is a firm favourite for Love Island viewers.

A source told The Sun: “It's set to be the biggest and most explosive episode of Meet The Parents yet.

"In a never before seen series first, the producers have decided to bring it forward so friends and family can really give their honest thoughts and opinions on the couples just before they are at the pivotal point in deciding where to take their relationships.

";The friends and family of the cast are expected to ruffle feathers as they unearth secrets between the islanders."

The insider added: "Nobody holds back and remember - they’ve been able to watch from home and see all the sniping and the rows and the behind the back comments that the islanders have no idea about.”

In previous years, there has been no shortage of drama during the Meet The Parents episode.

How can we forget when Paige Thorne's mum went nuclear on Adam Collard and said that she "wasn't buying" his reformed act.

It turns out she wasn't wrong as Paige and Adam split a few months after the show amid cheating rumours.

Indiyah Polack's mum accidentally called Dami Hope "Deji" - who was infact who she was coupled up with in Casa Amor.

To make matters worse, Indiyah had also made the same mistake just days before, which Dami was not impressed by.

Toes curled across the nation as Anton Danyluk's mum gave Belle Hassan a razor after he admitted that she shaved his bum for him.

Dani Dyer's famous dad took aim at her boyfriend Jack Fincham, making a dig at his body.

He said how Jack had been "parading his belly" in the villa, in front of the "abbed up" islanders.

Curtis Pritchard's mum kept calling Maura Higgins "Moira" in 2019, leaving the star with the giggles.
