Craig David jokes about finding romance on Love Island ahead of DJ set

Tonight's episode of Love Island was a celebrity special, with Craig David treating the Islanders to one of his legendary DJ sets and Amy Schumer sending a special message to the contestants via Aftersun.

However, even Craig David wasn't enough to keep Joanna, Amber and Michael from snarling at one another, as Joanna wondered if Michael was having second thoughts after dumping Amber to recouple with her.

Here are the biggest talking points from the latest episode:

Anna and Jordan are a thing again

After dithering for what seemed like an entire year, Anna finally admitted (kind of) that she wanted to get back together with Jordan. Ovie wasn't too impressed, and didn't make a great impression of himself when he walked away from a conversation with Anna before telling Jordan: "You can have her." "I'm not a piece of meat to be passed back and forth," Anna later told him, to the cheers of Love Island viewers and guilty feminists everywhere.

A brutal double dumping took place

In one of the most excruciating scenes of the series so far, Maura and Lucie decided it would be a great idea to dump their respective partners, Marvin and George, at the same time. Marvin and George were not impressed, but to be honest they don't really add anything to the show anyway, so who cares.

Maura has told Curtis she fancies him

While a devastated Amy looked on, Maura made her move on Curtis after deciding she fancied him. This was after failing to make him clock on that she liked him via dance lessons and very obvious flirting. Not the brightest bulb in the tanning bed, is he?

Craig David performed!

In a genuinely great moment, Craig David just randomly rocked up to the villa (we knew he was going to, obviously) to perform a DJ set for the Islanders. Admittedly they were weirdly positioned about 50 feet away from where he was performing, but maybe that was so they could get the right camera angles or something. Anyway, it looked like fun.

Good evening and welcome to tonight's liveblog for Love Island! I'll be providing the bitchy commentary for this evening as the contestants engage in bitter feuds but also some dancing as – in case you didn't hear – CRAIG DAVID IS COMING TO THE LOVE ISLAND VILLA.

So tonight in the villa, it looks like Ovie is getting sick of Anna after she wonders if she still prefers Jordan, while Joanna is set to confront MIchael and Amber after hearing a rumour they might reconcile.

Maura is working out how to crack on with Curtis, and has decided he can teach how to dance.
