Maya Jama breaks down in tears during dramatic Casa Amor recoupling
There's so much betrayal!
Last updated 4th Jul 2024
Grab your popcorn and tissues, because it sounds like this year's Casa Amor recoupling is set to be the most dramatic in Love Island history, so much so that bosses have extended the episode to 80 minutes.
With a lot of the Islanders seemingly having their heads turned by the Casa Amor bombshells, including Wil Anderson, Sean Stone, Ayo Odukoya, Matilda Draper and Jess White, there's set to be tears and tantrums as the recoupling begins on tonight's show (Thursday 4th July).
According to new reports, the recoupling is so brutal that even host Maya Jama gets emotional.
A source told Mail Online: "Maya feels connected to the Islanders... she struggled to hide her emotion during filming of the Casa Amor recoupling. It was tough for her to see the reaction from some of the girls, who were shocked to discover the level of betrayal demonstrated by their partner.
"Some of the couples had been together for a significant number of weeks so it was particularly painful for those to reunite under different circumstances.
"It was one of the most dramatic Love Island episodes ever filmed, so much so, bosses had to extend the show."
