LOVE Island stars were left in tears when two girls got dumped from the villa just days before the final.
It's been a rocky week in the villa with classic games like spin the bottle and snog, marry, pie causing chaos.
Then there was the recoupling that followed the bombshell arrivals of Chuggs Wallis and Samie Elishi, which was voted for by the public.
Just when the islanders thought the dust had settled after a mad few days, they were surprised with yet another recoupling.
A source said: “Two stars were dumped after a shock recoupling was announced - everyone was so upset by the result.
"There were tears and a lot of dirty looks, it was gutting for the axed islanders as it’s just days away from the final week.”

Last night Luca Bish and Samie headed out on a first date after being coupled together, despite Luca's desire to stay with his former partner Grace Jackson.
They were joined by Chuggs and Danielle Sellers on the double date at a picturesque vineyard.
In the hours before the date, Luca awkwardly opted to sleep with Grace outside on the day beds and paid no attention to Samie.
Luca and Grace had already rowed over Samie's entrance and his decision to snog her during a challenge after she made it clear that she didn't want him to lock lips with the new arrival.

During the date, Samie admitted she felt that the "awkwardness" had begun to fade.
She later admitted that she felt as though the public had chosen them to date because Luca had chosen to kiss her.
In response, Luca said: "I never look back with regrets, every lesson is a lesson learned."
Later, Samie revealed that her and Luca's secret connection went back a year after he messaged her a "happy birthday", but Samie admitted she did not reply as she had a boyfriend.
Luca chuckled, "That must have been hard," before saying, "I'm in a situationship, so I couldn't reply."
Although the pair kept things cordial on the date, it did not stop Grace from worrying back in the villa.
She admitted to her fellow islanders that she was simply counting down the moments for her partner to return.
After the date drew to an end, Luca headed back to the villa where he shrugged off any suggestion of the connection turning romantic.
He told the boys he'd enjoyed a "nice day out," which left them in hysterics as they reminded him it was a date, not a school trip.

Meanwhile, as Samie attempted to de-brief with the girls, Luca opted to pull Grace to one side to reassure her about how the date had gone.
