Love Island fans are begging bosses to bring back Samantha for Casa Amor
She was dumped after Joey coupled up with his ex
Rewind back a few days and it had looked like Samantha Kenny and Joey Essex were one of the strongest couples in the Love Island villa, with the pair getting on well since Joey's shock entrance as the first celebrity bombshell.
However, following the arrival of Joey's ex-flame Grace Jackson earlier in the week, the former TOWIE star's head has been turned, with the pair even spending the night together in The Hideaway, and snogging on the day beds in front of their fellow Islanders.
During last night's show (Tuesday 18th June), the fourth recoupling took place, which saw Grace and Joey couple up, leaving make-up artist Samantha single, and therefore dumped from the villa.
After seeing Joey riddled with guilt following the news, viewers have now taken to social media to beg bosses to bring Samantha back for Casa Amor week, which is expected to return in a few weeks.

It seems a number of Love Island fans have also turned on Joey following his behaviour towards Sam, since ex-girlfriend Grace entered the show.
Whilst some fan seem to think their reunion was all set up, others are urging bosses to do a public vote in order to 'get them out'.
One wrote: 'Get joey and Grace out… they don’t belong on love island. The show is being ruined it’s not meant to be joey’s island', with another writing: 'Joey and Grace have to go immediately. Immediately. This ruins the whole point of love island. Samantha has grown on to me but this show drained the life out of her she deserves better'. (sic)
A third added: 'Joey knew Grace was coming in, that's why he didn't show Samantha any affection, he was holding out for Grace'. (sic)
Love Island continues every night at 9pm on ITV2/STV2.
