Fans dub Love Island bosses 'savage' for 'greatest twist in show's history'
The All Stars series kicked off with MAJOR drama
Last updated 16th Jan 2024
After ditching the Winter edition and replacing it with Love Island: All Stars, it's safe to say show bosses had to up the ante to please viewers, and after just one episode, the new concept certainly hasn't disappointed!
As well as allowing the public to choose the first couples, which obviously led to exes Jake Cornish and Liberty Poole being reunited, the biggest shock arrived right at the end, as Maya Jama introduced two brand new bombshells into the villa.
Just as the original Islanders had learnt who they'd been paired with, in walks series six heartthrob Callum Jones, who split from his Love Island girlfriend Molly Smith just six months ago.
When Maya announced Callum wasn't the only new arrival, fans were left with open mouths when his ex-girlfriend Molly strutted in behind him, with Callum being given the decision to couple up with her, or one of the other girls.
Although the show ended on a cliffhanger about Callum's decision, viewers were quick to take to social media to express their love for the drama, with many calling it 'greatest twist' in the show's history.

Another wrote: 'Love Island producers ate tf up with this twist I can't even lie', with a third writing: 'Love island casting need a pay rise 👀'.
Another shocked fan added: 'Nah I nearly fell off the sofa - I am shooketh at the level of petty Love Island has served up already'. (sic)
Commenting on Instagram, another wrote: 'Hahahaha love island you have outdone yourself'. (sic)
