Dramatic episode “Casa Amor” on Love Island breaks record for current series

The latest episode of Love Island last night (July 3) saw the explosive return of Casa Amor, leading to record-breaking viewing figures for the series.

The twist, which often puts a huge strain on relationships within the villa, saw the Love Island girls move to Casa Amor to see if they were poached by new male islanders.

Meanwhile, the boys stayed in the main villa and were joined by new, stunning women – Ayo Odukoya and Sean Stone approached the new residents behind their partners’ backs.

Ahead of an extended episode airing tonight (July 4) in fiery aftermath, the previous episode broke viewing records for Love Island season 11.

The episode ended with a heartbreaking twist as Matilda Draper and Konnor Ewudzi received text messages confirming that their time getting to know the new additions to the cast was over and now the show’s most difficult reunion yet was upon them.

In tonight’s episode, the guys and girls will decide whether to move into the villa with someone new or stay with their original partners. A little taste of the drama to come showed Maya with tears in her eyes at an emotional reunion.
