The Love Island villa has been stunned once again following host Maya Jama’s unexpected arrival, leaving fans fuming.
The villa has been a hotbed of tension lately, with fiery rows, plenty of tears and love triangles forming. Already, hundreds of complaints have been made to Ofcom within a matter of days following what had been explosive scenes.
Just last night, Sean and Scott went head to head once again with Sean in tears and Scott being branded a “bully” in an intense exchange. Elsewhere, relationships are on rocky ground as new bombshells continue to shake up the villa.
And tonight (January 28), the drama continued as host Maya Jama made an unexpected arrival, bringing “bad news”.

Stunning the Islanders, Maya arrived at the villa as she instructed the islanders to gather around the firepit. Jess replied: “Whenever it’s Maya, it’s bad news.”
Maya added: “It’s time to find out what the public think of you. They’ve been voting for their favourite boy and favourite girl.”
Samie and Sean were revealed as the favourites as Maya continued: “Now, unfortunately it is time to find out which Islanders were voted least favourite. In no particular order, the three boys who received the fewest votes are…”
Those in the bottom three for the boys were, Konnor, Shaq and Curtis. For the girls, it was Lucinda, Jess and Leanne who found themselves in the bottom three.
But the host brought more bad news to the villa as she admitted: “I’m not here for the tea, one boy and one girl will be dumped from the villa tonight.”

She admitted that this decision was down to the public, which came as a huge surprise to the islanders. In brutal news, Maya confirmed the two leaving were Shaq and Jess.
But fans were unimpressed as they shared their thoughts online. One person wrote: “Justice for Shaq attack.”
Another said: “And I’m sorry I would’ve preferred Shaq to stay over Curtis he gives me the ick.” A third added: “How have the public kept Scott in! Absolute Joke! He should have been first out.”
A fourth penned: “Jess over Lucinda.. Naa I’m sorry that’s ridiculous.”
One person echoed: “Lucinda should have gone over Jess smh.”
In another huge Love Island update, ITV announced a historic twist, that six American bombshells will be entering the villa this week.
Love Island continues tomorrow night at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
