Fake Michael Griffiths account 'releases statement' following THAT Love Island recoupling
It's all going down!
Last updated 5th Jul 2019
After the massive kick off following last year's Casa Amor drama (featuring Georgia 'Loyal babes' Steel and Josh Denzel), we didn't think anything would be able to top it, but the latest Love Island recoupling was one of the most dramatic in the show's history.
Despite Curtis Pritchard choosing to recouple with Amy Hart, Michael Griffiths had his head well and truly turned, coupling up with new girl Joanna Chimonides, and in turn leaving poor Amber Gill to walk back into the villa on her own.
As the nation watched on in UTTER shock, waiting for Amber's response, Michael's friends and family released a statement on Twitter.
Sharing a 'logging out' meme, the first message read, 'Right everyone, see you in a few weeks, it’s been fun.' They then shared another meme of a male throwing away money, writing, 'Throwing away £50k like:'. sic
However, despite initially making fun of the situation, the 'family and friends' then decided to back Michael's decision, writing, 'Some thoughts: Like it or not, Michael followed his heart, he confronted Amber several times for being childish. It wasn’t behind her back.
'Anna needs to mind her own business #bye. From now, Curtis giving advice is about as useful as Stevie Wonder taking an eye test'. sic
HOWEVER, it has now been revealed that the account shown above is in fact a fake account that has generated more followers than Michael's real Twitter.
As Tuesday night's episode finished just as Amber arrived into the villa, viewers are counting down the minutes until tonight's episode, which looks to be the most explosive of the series so far.
In the preview for tonight's show, things kick off between Anna Vakili and Michael, following the fireman's decision to leave Amber single. And, as if that wasn't enough, Curtis tells Amy the thoughts he was having whilst she was over at Casa Amor!
We can't wait! 🙌
Check out the best Love Island 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.

He only lasted in the villa for five days, but Callum's hair is giving us serious vibes on this school throwback.
NOW: Curtis Pritchard
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

From: Hertfordshire
Occupation: Social media influencer
