love island Georgia and Sam choose to split and stay in villa

Another night, another couple leaves Love Island.

Last night's episode (Saturday 15 July) saw Charlie and Ellie evicted from the villa, Ellie leaving with a boyfriend worth £399,950,000 more than the reality TV show’s £50K prize money.

The result was, of course, obvious from the start, the ITV2 producers playing their hand early by actually giving the most boring couple in the villa some screen (have we actually ever seen Charlie speak before tonight, other than to tell Jack how much he's worth?).

But, hold onto your sangrias, because that’s not all. Another couple – either Wes and Megan or Sam and "loyal Georgia" – were faced with the threat of going home. Only this time, the other contestants had to pick which couple they thought could really go the distance (gasp!).

The islanders picked Wes and Megan as the couple they thought were most likely to last. But there was a twist on a twist as Georgia and Sam were told they could stay in the villa... if they split up with one another. And split up they did! Turns out Georgia isn't so loyal after all - at least not when there's £50,000 at stake. She warmed quickly to Paul, despite not knowing what his former job (a carpenter) entailed. She thought it meant he fitted carpets for a living. Seriously.

Love Island Georgia doesn't know what a carpenter is

And, to top everything off, another (yes, another) four Islanders turned up. I can barely remember this lots’ names, let alone four new ones. Please, ITV, introduce name tags. (Although, I don’t know where they would pin them, because no-one’s ever wearing clothes.) We have another Josh (Josh #2) and another Laura (Laura #2) plus Paul and... another girl.

As always, The Independent blogged along with all the action. Catch up with everything that happened below

OK so here's a recap from last night's episode in the hour ahead of tonight's shenanigans:

Last night's episode (Saturday 15 July) saw Charlie and Ellie evicted from the villa, Ellie leaving with a boyfriend worth £399,950,000 more than the reality TV show’s £50K prize money. 

The result was, of course, obvious from the start, the ITV2 producers playing their hand early by actually giving the most boring couple in the villa some screen (have we actually ever seen Charlie speak before tonight, other than to tell Jack how much he's worth?).

But, hold onto your sangrias, because that’s not all. Another couple – either Wes and Megan or Sam and loyal Georgia – could be going home tomorrow. Well, they might not be leaving the villa exactly (we don’t know what’s going to happen), but something juicy’s coming. Caroline Flack said so, so it must be true.

Remember tonight we've got another (yes, another) four Islanders are coming on board tomorrow. I can barely remember this lots’ names, let alone four new ones. Please, ITV, introduce name tags. (Although, I don’t know where they would pin them, because no-one’s ever wearing clothes.)

OK here we go, Love Island time. Strong language and adult content warning. There'll probably be some of that on the show too.

Ooh is something actually going to happen on tonight's episode? Or are they just teasing us.

Yes remember last night we learned Charlie is a millionaire already so I'm not really sure why he needed to be on this show.

Picking up where we left off, it looks like the islanders have to pick one of two couples to leave the island.

I reckon they're going to pick Wes and Megan. I can't even remember the name of Georgia's new boyfriend.

Is Alex just incapable of tanning? He's been here for what, six weeks? And he's STILL RED.
