Love Island viewers have backed previous contestants Sam Gowland and Mike Thalassitis to re-enter the villa after they were given the choice between new entries or returning favourites.

However, one previous contestant was left feeling a little left out by the vote.
Harley Judge, who was the first boy to be kicked off the show, tweeted: “Thanks for the invite”.

Earlier in the episode fans enjoyed a rapping session from contestants Marcel Somerville, Kem Cetinay and Chris Hughes as they showed off their track Little Bit Leave It.
The musical interlude had viewers calling for their effort to be made available for download, with one writing: “if A Little Bit Leave It isn’t available on Spotify soon then I’m gunna be massively disappointed.”
