Amber Gill has been left single after Michael Griffiths dumped her for new girl Joanna Chimonides in Love Island’s savage re-coupling on Tuesday (02.07.19) night.
The 21-year-old beautician was shocked to find out that her partner – who grafted hard to persuade her to couple up with him in the first place because he wasn’t her "type" – had hit it off with the brunette beauty in the Main Villa over the past three days while she was staying loyal to him in Casa Amor.
Amber refused to get to know any of the new boys during her time in the sister villa and was horrified at the thought of Michael snogging another girl during the group challenges, but the 27-year-old firefighter had other ideas as he happily locked lips with Joanna and shared a bed with her.
When asked if he wanted to stay with Amber or recouple, Michael said: "The last few days have been quite interesting. They’ve opened my mind to a few things. So the past few days have given me a lot of time to reflect. I’ve come to the realisation that I’ve not been true to myself and I’ve overlooked certain situations that I wouldn’t normally do.
"I’ve bitten my tongue when I wouldn’t usually do so. Meeting this girl has brought the Michael that I know and everyone else knows back. She’s unbelievably stunning and she doesn’t take herself too seriously which is a massive thing for me and although it doesn’t usually roll off my tongue, I do believe she’s beautiful. So I’ve decided to recouple. The girl I would like to recouple with is Joanna."
The news didn’t go down too well with Amber’s friends as Anna Vakili, Molly-Mae Hague and Maura Higgins all buried their heads in their hands as Caroline asked Amber to come in.
The strong-minded model – who classes herself a 10 out of 10 – walked in on her own, having decided to stick with Michael, to find her now-ex-beau standing side-by-side with Joanna.
And Michael wasn’t the only one to have his head turned while the girls were away as Curtis Pritchard admitted earlier on in the show that he had taken a shining to new girl Jourdan Riane and was in two minds about whether he would stay coupled up with Amy Hart or ditch her for the stunning model.
The professional dancer snogged Jourdan in two separate challenges after admitting that he fancied her but decided against coupling up with her after she told him that she liked Danny Williams.
Curtis said: "Amy and I we haven’t had any test or bumps in the road and things were going fantastic until a few days ago.
"Basically a young girl walked into the villa and made me realise a lot of things … It made me realise I’d been lying to myself and most of all, to Amy. I just hope everything can be sorted out."
Although he decided to stay with Amy, he has promised that he will be "honest" about what has gone on in the Main Villa while she was away – and the revelation will no doubt infuriate the air hostess as she declared her love for the hunk to her friend Molly-Mae just hours before.
In tomorrow (03.07.19) night’s show, Amber and Michael will lock horns and Amy and Curtis will come to blows as the boys reveal the reasons why their heads were turned while they were away.
