The Love Island villa doors only opened 10 days ago but for many fans, Thursday night’s show will now be known as the point when series five really kicked off.
The arrival of two new bombshells – Maura Higgins and Elma Pazar – proved explosive as the former took a fancy to Tommy Fury, who then appeared to drop Molly-Mae almost immediately.
The fallout was bad as Molly stormed around the villa and eventually had it out with the boxer. But the memes and jokes? They’re so are so good…
Let’s start with reactions to Tommy’s head turning 560°
Someone has actually done the maths on this by the way:
Then there were plenty of posts about new girl Maura
Naturally, someone managed to shoehorn a (great) Brexit joke in
And the overuse of ‘categorically’ did not go unnoticed
Molly-Mae and Tommy’s argument was, of course, interrupted as Curtis urged them both to get some sleep and think about things in the morning.
Was this for the best? Probably, yes. But it did kill off some of the best drama this series has seen so far.
Anyway, let’s carry on with the reactions…
This is a Very Good Point about Curtis’ mediation skills
At the very least, he could go into relationship counselling if ballroom dancing doesn’t work out.
His interference certainly divided viewers
But he wasn’t the only one to interrupt, as Anton also gave Molly a piece of his mind
We’re pretty sure it’s illegal to do a Love Island memes round-up without one using this picture:
The drama continues into tonight’s show, but it won’t all be tears and shouting as one mystery pair will be seen locking lips.
But who’s going to kiss? There’s only one couple anyone wants to it to be
Love Island continues on ITV2 at 9pm.
