Love Island fans accuse Michael of 'gaslighting' Amber after DRAMATIC recoupling
He's now coupled up with Joanna Chimonides
Despite the slow start, the 2019 series of Love Island is turning out to be one of the most dramatic we've ever witnessed! Whether it was the early drama between Joe Garratt and Lucie Donlan, the love triangle between Yewande Biala, Arabella Chi and Danny Williams, or most recently Michael Griffiths dumping Amber Gill for new girl Joanna Chimonides, it's kicking off.
So, after last night's (Wednesday 3rd July) show, a number of viewers took to social media to accuse Michael of 'gaslighting' Amber, following the way he handled the situation.
If you are unaware of the term 'gaslighting', it means, 'to manipulate (someone) by psychological means into doubting their own sanity.'
As Amber stayed relatively calm (despite calling Joanna a dead ting), Michael called his ex 'pathetic' and 'a child' following their heated conversation, which Anna Vakili also got involved in.
When Anna told the firefighter he was twisting the truth about his decision to make himself feel better, Love Island viewers seemed to agree with her, taking to Twitter to vent their frustrations.
Meanwhile, at the end of last night's show, Amber and Michael's new love interest Joanna were sent out on a lunch date in order to get to know each other, but fans have to wait until tonight's episode to see what goes down.
We can't wait! 👀
Now check out some of the best Love Island 2019 transformations below:
NOW: Tommy Fury
Age: 20
From: Manchester
Occupation: boxer
What's your claim to fame? It's probably my brother, Tyson, but I'm my own man and I've said it throughout my whole boxing career. I don't want to be labelled as his little brother.
THEN: Tommy Fury
A fresh-faced Tommy was destined to be a boxer from a young age, posting this adorable snap of himself to his Instagram page in 2015.
NOW: Lucie Donlan
Age: 21
From: Newquay
Occupation: surfer
Claim to fame: The last guy I was with was Charlie Frederick from last year's Love Island. We got together a few weeks after he came out of the villa.
THEN: Lucie Donlan
Surfer girl Lucie has always been a fan of the water sport, posting this stunning snap of herself to her Instagram page back in 2014.
In 2018, Lucie posted a number of transformation pics to her social media accounts, showing off her two stone weight-loss.
NOW: Amy Hart
Age: 26
From: Worthing, Sussex
Occupation: Air hostess / cabin crew manager
Celebrity crush: Liam Hemsworth, he's fit. Ashley Banjo from Diversity is really fit.
THEN: Amy Hart
Amy looks totally different in this throwback snap she posted to her Instagram page in 2017, to celebrate working as an air-hostess for seven years!
NOW: Yewande Biala
Age: 22
From: Dublin, Ireland
Occupation: Scientist
Celebrity crush: Anthony Joshua
THEN: Yewande Biala
Yewande posted this snap on her Instagram page back in 2016, after she graduated from university with a First class Honours in Biotechnology.
NOW: Anton Danyluk
Age: 24
From: Airdrie, Scotland
Occupation: gym owner
Will you be loyal or do you have a wandering eye? That's a medical condition that I have… a wandering eye! I've never really been loyal in any of my relationships.
THEN: Anton Danyluk
Before entering the Love Island villa, Scottish hunk Anton posted this photo on Instagram, showing off his incredible body transformation over a 16-week period.
NOW: Anna Vakili
Age: 28
From: London
Occupation: Pharmacist
What's your definition of girl code? This is really difficult because the island isn't a normal place, the real world is different. I don't know how close I can get to a girl in a few weeks. If a guy likes me, I'm there for love at the end of the day, not girls.
THEN: Anna Vakili
London girl Anna doesn't look much different from this Instagram pic she uploaded two years ago.
NOW: Joe Garratt
Age: 22
From: South East London
Occupation: Catering company owner
What song sums up your love life? 'How Am I Supposed to Live Without You' by Michael Bolton.
THEN: Joe Garratt
Before he let the curls loose, Joe looked super cute in this snap uploaded with his friend back in 2015.
NOW: Michael Griffiths
Age: 27
From: Liverpool
Occupation: Firefighter
How would you rate your looks on a scale of one to ten? I'd rate myself ten out of ten, I would have said nine but I'm a hero so it bumps it up.
THEN: Michael Griffiths
We can't deal with the cuteness of Michael in this snap from 2014.
Callum Macleod
Age: 28
From: South Wales
Occupation: Aircraft engineer
What song sums up your love life? 'I Just Haven't Met You Yet' by Michael Bublé.

Age: 23
From: Shropshire
Occupation: Ballroom and Latin dancer
What's your claim to fame? I would say my claim to fame is that I'm on Dancing with the Stars Ireland and AJ Pritchard from Strictly Come Dancing is my brother.
THEN: Curtis Pritchard
Aww! Ballroom dancer Curtis looking VERY smart before a show back in 2014. Look at that bow-tie!
NOW: Molly-Mae Hague
Age: 20
From: Hertfordshire
Occupation: Social media influencer
