Just hours after the shock departure of Tiffany Leighton and Omar Nyame, Love Island bosses decided to throw more wood into the fire on Monday night's show (24th June), serving up yet another recoupling.

Whilst strong couples like Nicole Samuel and Ciaran Davies, and Mimii Ngulube and Ayo Odukoya remained together, there was some MAJOR shocks, mainly thanks to new boy Konnor Ewudzi...

With new bombshells Konnor and Matilda Draper given first pick before the rest of the girls made their decisions, barber Konnor sent the villa into a frenzy when he chose to steal Grace Jackson from Joey Essex.

Despite Grace admitting after she was shocked after having 'no flirty conversations' with Konnor, some viewers think the model was secretly buzzing with her new coupling, with many accusing her of 'game playing'.

One wrote: 'Grace acting all shocked - two words MOVIE NIGHT 😂', with another adding: 'Grace acting clueless when she was loving that conversation the night before'. (sic)

Another wrote: 'I gave him no inkling I wanted any romantic connection. GRACE WHATTTTTT 😭', with another commenting: 'Does grace forget there is cameras 👀🧐'. (sic)

Another shocked fan wrote: 'Is grace for real? Has she forgotten they are filming everything in the villa. She was told yesterday by Konnor that he liked her and said everyone was open. G’way Grace you know well what you’re doing'. (sic)

Somebody else wrote: 'Don’t like Grace now she literally wanted Konnar to pick her and now that he has she’s pretending to be oblivious to the situation she did the exact same thing to Omar she wants the boys to fight over her so badly'. (sic)

The night before the recoupling, Grace had a private chat with Konnor, saying: "Is there anyone in here that you'd want to chat to that is in quite a secure couple."

Konnor quickly replied, saying: "Yeah definitely. Well, you being one of them."

He added: "But it is the history you've got with Joey."

But Grace was quick to respond, saying: "No-one in here is closed off and you are here for yourself. I just wanted to chat to you because I think you are the nicest guy."
