Love Island has once again shaken things up in the villa — this time with a departure and the arrival of two new bombshells.

Tonight's (February 1) episode kicked off with the recent recoupling results. It was boys' choice, and Zara Lackenby-Brown became the latest contestant to leave the villa.

The final decision was left to Tom, who chose Ellie over his current coupling with Zara following the pair's explosive argument the night before.

"It's never nice for me to be in that decision no matter what's been said," he reflected in the beach hut.

Zara had a rocky time in the villa, struggling to build a connection with the boys, but had become a fan favourite. Many viewers expressed their upset over her departure.

''[I'm] waiting for the twist where they bring Zara back," one fan wrote on Twitter.

There was barely time for the dust to settle in the villa before the girls were treated to the arrival of two new bombshells, Casey and Jordan.

The boys quickly got to their speed dates, with Jordan picking Tanyel and Casey choosing Lana.

Casey's interest in Lana clearly struck a nerve with Ron, who ultimately expressed his jealousy to the other boys.

Shaq, however, wasn't convinced by Ron's sudden change of heart, telling Ron he'd taken advantage of Lana's feelings and kindness.

"The way you treated that girl was out of order," Shaq said. "You've spoken to this girl, that girl, whatever. What you've said and what you do is two completely different things."

He also noted how Ron has spent time getting to know each of the new bombshells despite his feelings for Lana.

"You've treated her as your safety net," Shaq told Ron.

Seems like the tension isn't going to die down any time soon.

Love Island airs nightly on ITV2, and is available via catch up on ITVX and BritBox.
