Things in the Love Island villa chop and change fast enough to make your head spin, so for anyone who’s struggling to keep up with what’s going on in the villa, here’s where things currently stand.
In Friday night’s highlights show, Amy Hart was the first to pick, and there were no surprises when she went for ballroom performer Curtis Pritchard, who she’s grown close to in the last few days.

Amber Gill decided switch and pair up with Anton Danyluk, putting her original partner Callum Macleod in a precarious position.
Yewanade Biala and Michael Griffiths decided to stay together, as did Lucie Donlan and Joe Garratt (though this was a more tricky decision for Lucie than it was for Yewande), while Anna Vakili also chose to stay put with Sherif Lane.

This meant it as up to new arrival Molly-Mae Hague to decide which of the show’s remaining boys she was going to pair up with, and who she was going to send home.
And while he’s already tried his luck with several of his fellow contestants, it was boxer Tommy Fury that Molly-Mae chose, meaning Callum was the first of this year’s Islanders to be quite literally sent packing.

He was insistent there were no hard feelings about Molly-Mae or Amber’s decisions, though, admitting he’d had a great time and would treasure his friendship with Curtis most of all.
“Literally from the minute he walked in, we just had a great time,” Callum said of his friendship with the Dancing With The Stars pro. “It felt like I had known him for ages, he’s a good guy.”
Callum also named Curtis and Amy as the couple he thinks will go the distance this year.
Love Island has a rest on Saturday nights, but will return on Sunday at 9pm on ITV2, when we’ll be getting to know new boy in town Danny.

So, for me going to into Love Island, it’s going to be the biggest test of my life."
