Love Island All Stars viewers were left fuming by the show’s surprise recoupling which ended on a cliffhanger on Tuesday.
The action packed episode saw Josh Ritchie, who found fame on series one, arrive as a bombshell and ruffle feathers, while things got steamy between Demi and Luis.
Then in the final moments the group received a text announcing the recoupling that would see Josh getting first choice, before the episode ended and forcing viewers to have to wait to find out the villa’s newest pairings.
Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one wrote: ‘Ugh not recoupling cliffhanger already I CBA’.
While a second said: ‘Of course we don’t see the recoupling… the one interesting part’.

Someone else commented: ‘Wow. Not even going to show the recoupling at all? So the whole last 20 mins of the episode was just for ads and bulls***’.
And: ‘THE CLIFFHANGER RECOUPLING ARGGGHHHH’.
Another fumed: ‘F****** idiots. So there isn’t even a recoupling tonight’.
While a sixth said:’Nah we are not starting this crap of starting a recoupling and not finishing until tomorrow again producers’.
And a seventh added: ‘So they tease a recoupling in the preview but end it right before it starts…oh’.
Elsewhere viewers were split in opinion after watching the toe-curling moment Demi came face-to-face with Kaz following her kiss with Luis.
Despite Mitch admitting his interest in her just minutes prior, Demi decided to make a move on Luis, with the pair enjoying a steamy smooch on the villa terrace.
This move came as a surprise to many viewers as Luis had previously planned to take Kaz up to the terrace instead, and Demi awkwardly came face-to-face with Kaz in the bedroom.

After finding her in the middle of a chat in the dressing room, Demi frantically said she needed to ‘get her phone’ and fled the room.
The pair then sat in awkward silence with Liberty Poole, before it was announced that a recoupling was looming.
Demi’s behaviour sparked a flurry of responses from fans, with many shocked by her unexpected decision to make a move on Luis.
One tweeted: ‘Didn’t expect Demi to be showing Destiny’s Chaldish traits like this,’ while another added: ‘MIND YOU HER PHONE IS IN HER HAND OH DEMI IS MESSY.’
”’Hey girlies” DEMI IS A SCARY INDIVIDUAL,’ a third shared.
One added: ‘nah why did demi go over to kaz & libs, how awkward #loveisland,’ and another user shared: ‘i just know Demi didn’t go join them.’
However, others rushed to defend Demi, with one writing: ‘All of you hating on Luis right now and calling him a deadbeat and an a*******e! Get a grip! So what if he likes Demi more than Kaz???’
‘Aww Demi and Luis are my faves,’ another posted.
A third added: ‘Why’s Kaz vexed at Demi you’ve known this man two days.’
Love Island continues on Friday at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.

Liberty Poole
AGE: 24
SERIES: 7
Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? I’m a lot more confident in who I am and sure about exactly what I want from a relationship. I just want to have fun and meet a lovely boy.
How will you feel if you come across an ex in the Villa or someone you’ve dated from the show since appearing? It’s always going to be awkward isn’t it, it’s always going to be weird seeing someone that you’ve been with getting with someone else. I wish my exes nothing but the best. I’m going to be focused on my own journey.
Kaz Kamwi
AGE: 29
SERIES: 7
Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? To be totally honest, I actually really want to find love.
I had a great time last series but I want to have an even better time.
How will you feel if you come across an ex in the Villa or someone you’ve previously dated from the show? The thing is, I’m a bad b*tch so I will handle it with as much grace as I can.
Georgia Harrison
AGE: 29
SERIES: 3
Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? This is the last year of my 20s so I want to go in the Villa and have some fun and hopefully meet someone that I can fall in love with. I’m lucky in the sense that I’ve got everything in my life that I could possibly wish for, apart from love.
If you had to pick your top Islanders from Series 1 to 10 to couple up with who would they be and why? Chris Taylor, he’s hilarious and the main thing I’m attracted to is a man who can make me laugh. What a fun guy and like I said, I’m looking for someone to TikTok with so I reckon he’d be game for that sort of stuff!
Demi Jones
AGE: 25
SERIES: 6
Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? I lost a lot of confidence with my health issues over the last couple of years but I’ve been smashing the gym this year, finding my confidence again and I’ve got it back. So, let’s find a man!
How will you feel if you come across an ex in the Villa or someone you’ve dated from the show since? It will be interesting to see if old flames get reignited. Naturally with Love Island paths are very much crossed and believe me, I have some paths!
Hannah Elizabeth
AGE: 33
SERIES: 1
Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? I’m returning to the Love Island Villa because I did it eight years ago and what an opportunity I never thought I’d get again. I’m not very good at finding love but I had a ball the first time, so I’m going to have a ball again.
You got engaged on the show last time, do you think wedding bells could be on the cards again this time round? Absolutely not, not in the Villa no. Maybe when I get out, but I’d need to give it a bit of time.
Georgia Steel
AGE: 25
SERIES: 4
Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? I’m 25, I have a house, a cat, a nice car – I have everything in life but a boyfriend, so why not give it as go.
You’ve been brave and honest in opening up about being conned by a former partner. How has this experience impacted the way in which you now approach dating?
I take that experience as a really positive reflection now. I look at it as something I had to go through to make me stronger and learn things in life for me to be able to learn what I want in my next partner.
Molly Smith

Jake Cornish
AGE: 26
SERIES: 7
How will you feel if you come across an ex in the Villa or someone you’ve dated from the show since appearing? Well there is only one and that’s Liberty. We never ended with any bad blood between us and everything happens for a reason. We just become two different people in the end.
What will you do differently this time round? When it comes to people’s opinions, I don’t sit on the fence anymore. That is my way of life now, so I will take that into the Villa.
Toby Aromolaran
AGE: 24
SERIES: 7
Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? If I’m Single and Love Island is an opportunity for me, how could you turn down the chance to find love again?!
You were in a long term relationship with Chloe Burrows, what do you think her reaction will be when she hears you are going into the Villa? I don’t know how she would take it. We will always have love for each other and I think she would wish me the best of luck, as I would certainly do the same.
Chris Taylor
AGE: 33
SERIES: 9
Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? Last time I was only there for 15 days, so I want to do it and enjoy it all again. I am 33 now and getting on a bit – I am getting ear hair! It would be nice to have a girl to keep my ears trimmed for me!
How did the Barbie Movie come about? I was invited to an afterparty by Margot Robbie and then ended up at an after party with her. I started to panic and make conversation with her, just having really stupid chats. All I can assume is that my silly chat made an impression on Margot Robbie. 18 months later I got an email from Warner Brothers.
Luis Morrison
AGE: 29
SERIES: 1
Why are you returning to the famous Love Island Villa? It was the best experience of my life. I found love in the Villa before and who knows if I can find love in there again?
What will you do differently this time round?
I’m a lot older and wiser, so I know what I am getting myself into. I don’t have a game plan at all – I am an open book so I will go with the flow and see what happens.
Anton Danyluk
AGE: 29
SERIES: 5
Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? For me it was a no brainer. I got the call and it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity and probably the best summer I have ever had in my life. Getting the chance to do it twice is going to be unbelievable.
Why do you think the Love Island Villa is the perfect place to find love?
I think this time with Love Island: All Stars, things will be different, as we all understand what it’s like to go on Love Island and the only thing now missing is finding a partner.
Mitchel Taylor
AGE: 27
SERIES: 10
Why are you returning to the Love Island villa? I think I went in with my heart on my sleeve the first time and got hurt and this time I am just going in to enjoy myself and if a connection happens, a connection happens.
In the summer you were given the name ‘Messy Mitch’, and a name that you have taken on as your own, can we expect more of the same in the series? I’ll be honest, I don’t really plan on being ‘Messy Mitch’. It just depends on what day of the week it is. I wear my emotions on my sleeve and what you see is what you get. I am very honest and very opinionated and I think that’s what people like me for.
