AXED Love Island star Sam Taylor appears to have dropped a huge hint he's returning to the villa.
Tattooed hunk Sam, 23, was dumped from the villa after bombshell Joey Essex, 33, stole Samantha Kenny, also 33, who he'd been coupled up with.
But just days after being sent packing, he's shared a cryptic post to his Instagram Story.
Alongside a selfie with Joey, the hair stylist inserted four side eye emojis, sending fans into a frenzy.
But it's not the first time Sam's given ITV2 viewers a clue of his potential return.
As he said goodbye to his co-stars he told them he would "see them soon".

Taking to X, formerly Twitter, one fan speculated: "Sam's coming back in Casa Amor."
"Calm down. Sam's only moving to Casa Amor," echoed a second.
Another wrote: "Guys let’s be so fr we’ll be seeing Sam in 2 weeks for Casa or some other twist."
If Sam does join the Casa Amor villa, he will follow in the footsteps of Mollly Marsh from last year's show who was dumped on the spot but returned to Casa Amor two weeks later.

"Calling it now - they’ll bring back mullet Sam in Casa Amor," said another fan.
"I feel like they might bring Sam as one of the Casa boys," said another while a further comment read: "Casa Amor lineup is gonna be sweet."
Joey's entrance to the villa was as explosive as fans predicted, but Joey insists that he wants to find a meaningful connection.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun ahead of his debut, he said: "I just want someone to like me for me and now from what they see on TV.
"This is exactly why I’m going into the villa because you’re disconnected from the rest of the world and can focus on what actually matters on a far deeper level."
Joey has dated a string of celebrities in the past - including Rita Ora and former Islander Maura Higgins - but now he'll be cracking on with 'normal' girls.
And Joey revealed he wasn't approached by show bosses but instead applied to take part.
