Demi Jones and Luke Mabbott, and Jess Gale and Ched Uzor have yet to make their relationships official.
Viewers can also expect a final dumping, with the app opening at the end of Thursday's episode for fans to vote for their favourite couples.
The final episode, which will air on Sunday 23 February, will usually see four couples compete for the £50,000 grand prize.

Siannise and Luke T are favourites to win the first winter series, with Paddy Power offering odds of just 4/9 for the pair to take the top prize.
The Sun Online revealed the Gale twins will be reunited in the villa as 20-year-old student Eve has jetted back to South Africa alongside the Islanders’ other family members.
A source explained: “Eve has missed Jess so much, so she jumped at the chance to come back and see her before her time on the show is up.
“TV bosses think it will be a really heartwarming moment – and a nice treat for viewers who have stayed with the show since the start.”
Jess is in a relationship with Ched Uzor, 23, who has been told he has to get the seal of approval from sister Eve before they can be official.
