Bombshell: The Islanders are going to have to get their thinking caps on as Luke Mabbot is set to announce there will be a recoupling in the villa during Thursday’s episode
As there are currently more girls than boys in the villa it is likely that the boys will be choosing this week, leaving one girl at risk of being dumped from the island.
The villa has been rocked in recent days, with even solid couples such as Luke Trotman and Siannise Fudge and Paige Turley and Finley Tapp looking uncertain following the dramatic Newsflash challenge.
The challenge suggested Finn had been unfaithful during his time at Casa Amor, which left Paige fuming that he had appeared not to have been honest about his time there.
Elsewhere, the game revealed that Luke T had told the boys Siannise had ‘got naked’ during their steamy night in the Hideaway, which she was less than impressed about.
What’s it to be? The heating engineer, 24, receives a text and informs the rest of the contestants they will soon have to decide who their romantic future lies with
Luke M and new boy Jamie Clayton will both be left with tough decisions to make after several of the girls have made it clear they are interested in them.
Luke M was getting to know Demi Jones and the couple even shared a couple of snogs, however Shaughna is set to drop the bomb that she has feelings for him.
Due to the fact Demi is also getting to know Jamie, Luke appears to make it clear that he plans on getting to know Shaughna because it’s ‘only fair’.

Meanwhile, Jamie has his eye on both Demi and Natalia Zoppa, and previously Shaughna before she revealed that there was no romantic connection.
On Thursday night’s show, OG Islander Shaughna decides its time to tell Luke M about her secret feelings, but believes she should own up to it with Demi first, who has also been getting to know the hunk.
But Demi’s reaction is not ideal.
On hearing the news in a one-on-one with Shaughna, she replies: ‘Right OK. Oh God… what’s made you feel like this? I always thought you and him were more like brother and sister.’

Shaughna explains: ‘It’s kind of been under my nose for weeks. I’ve definitely gone for the guy my mum would want me to go for, finally. Luke is an angel and any girl that ever ends up with him is a very lucky girl.
‘I think Jamie’s solidified this a bit for me. I’m just like absolutely, I don’t have feelings for you at all. I don’t feel like that for Luke, I feel like we’ve always had flirty banter back and forth.
‘[In the Snog, Marry, Pie challenge] when he didn’t marry me, I was a bit like, “Oh OK… I thought that was going to happen”. Then when it didn’t go well with Natalia I was thinking “I’m happy about that, why am I happy about that?”

‘A bit like you and him, you never explored it, I never did.’
Demi replies: ‘I feel the same with Jamie. He’s a really nice guy. I keep thinking I need to be open to Jamie, I can’t make the same mistake I did with Nas. But at the same time I can’t help but gravitate towards Luke.
‘You do what you’ve got to do but obviously at the same time I’m still going to get to know Luke. You do you and I’ll do me.’
In the Beach Hut, Demi admits: ‘I just feel like I don’t have much luck in here. I’ve just got to hope Luke does like me. If Shaughna tells him this information then he might shut it down and come closer to me and it will solidify our connection.
Coming clean: Shaughna pulls Luke M for a chat
‘At the same time, if Shaughna tells him that and he starts acting different about me and starts being like that to her, then again at least I know it wasn’t meant to be.’
Later in the episode, Paige and Finn encourage Shaughna to chat to Luke M, with Paige admitting: ‘You’re going to regret it if you don’t do it, you’ll never know.’
Shaughna pulls Luke M and says through laughs: ‘Let me just get it out… When things didn’t work out too well with Natalia and I was like, “Yay, why am I yay-ing..?” It was a weird time for me.
‘So then Jess said, “Demi is going to have a chat with Luke” and I was like, “Oh… OK”. And then I was like, why am I feeling like that, weird. I love Demi so it was very awkward for me. Watching you two sit on the daybed, I was just like, “Oh…”
‘I could be completely barking up the wrong tree. Do I need to say it?’
Luke M says: ‘Yeah you need to say it.’

Shaughna replies: ‘Yeah.’
Luke M admits: ‘You’re dropping a bomb… have you thought this over the past few days?’
Shaughna says: ‘Weeks… Where is your head at?’
Shaughna says through laughs: ‘Let me just get it out… I could be completely barking up the wrong tree. Do I need to say it? I think I like you’
Luke M admits: ‘Scrambled now. Me and Demi got to know each other and got close, she’s getting to know Jamie as well which put me off a bit. I didn’t want to be in that position again to feel second best, I don’t want to be in a triangle…’
This then leads to Demi asking Luke M how he’s feeling.
‘I didn’t expect it. It’s hard because you’re getting to know Jamie… she said I just thought I’d tell you before anything happens,’ he tells her.
Surprised? ‘I don’t want to be in a triangle…’ Luke M says

‘Me and Shaughna are really close in here. You’ve been in this villa for a really long time, why has it not been explored before? I feel like the way you will be about the situation will say a lot for me,’ Demi replies.
At breakfast the next day, Luke M discusses with the boys how he is feeling after Shaughna admitted she has feelings for him.
He says: ‘Demi got to know Jamie so I think it’s only fair.’
