Love Island fans confused over Ella's shock Casa Amor decision 😱

Tyrique was left devastated!

Author: Alex RossPublished 6th Jul 2023

As Love Island fans will know, it was the annual Casa Amor recoupling on Wednesday night's (5th July) show, and the 2023 showdown certainly didn't disappoint with drama levels, mainly thanks to the shock decisions by Ella Thomas and Catherine Agbaje.

Although Ella and semi-professional footballer Tyrique Hyde 'closed themselves off' before Ella left for Casa Amor, it didn't take long for her head to turn in the second villa for model Ouzy See, whom she already knew back in the UK.

And despite many thinking he would sway, Tyrique actually stayed as loyal as they come to Ella, despite six girls entering the Main Villa earlier in the week.

As Maya Jama entered the villa for the recoupling, Tyrique chose to stay single, but what happened next left both the Islanders and viewers at home in complete shock...

Ella walked back into the villa with Ouzy on her arm, before saying to Ty: "I felt I gave you time to explore when you need to explore and I owed it myself. I didn't go into Casa expecting to be open; I was the last person would thought I'd even look at anyone, but I didn't know Ouzy was going to be there and I wanted to explore it more with him. But it doesn't mean me and you are over in my eyes."

Brutally, Ty was quick to respond, saying: "I'm telling you it's over.

After hearing Ella's words and later seeing her in tears during a chat with the girls, viewers were left confused as to why she decided to return with Ouzy.

One wrote: 'Why did Ella even pick Ouzy if she was just gonna cry for Tyrique?', with another adding: 'Unpopular opinion but why’s Ella crying, she brought Ouzy so that means she wants him over Ty, like this is so unfair on Ouzy #LoveIsland'. (sic)

Another added: 'Why did Ella bother bringing ouzy back if she’s going to grovel for Ty straight off the bat, kind of annoying like stick with ur decision longer than 1 minute #LoveIsland'. (sic)
