Love Island delivers a series of shocks at surprise recoupling – as one pair becomes official and another splits

They were taken aback to discover the lads would have to pick which girl they wanted to couple up with, and viewers were left on tenterhooks as to whether some of their favourite pairings would stay together.

After spending the episode debating about whether to stay with Camilla Thurlow or pursue Tyla Carr, Jonny Mitchell decided to stick with his girl, although neither seemed that enthusiastic about it.
This left the door open for Simon Searles to make his move, shocking viewers as he decided to dump Montana Brown in favour of new girl Tyla, after previously agreeing with Jonny that she was one of the hottest girls in the villa.
Montana then reunited with Dom Lever, who she had first been paired with on the opening episode of the show, after being the last woman standing.

This made them the first official couple to form on this year's series.
