Love Island's Arabella Chi was left stunned when Toby dumped her in a shocking recoupling twist.
During Thursday's episode of the popular ITV2 dating show, Toby surprised everyone by choosing to couple up with someone else, leaving Arabella single. Toby had previously been getting close to Arabella, even admitting during a game of Never Have I Ever that they'd been "doing bits" together. However, later in the episode, he decided to have a chat with his ex, Georgia S.
Georgia confessed to Toby that she hadn't been interested in anyone else and admitted she could've reacted differently to their split. Since then, she's been enjoying getting to know Callum, but still has feelings for Toby. Despite clearing the air with Georgia, Toby felt there was still a spark between them. So, during the next recoupling, he shocked everyone, including current partner Arabella, by choosing to explore this connection further.
Arabella had been coupled up with Toby (ITV/REX/Shutterstock)Newcomers Casey and Joanna chose Kaz and Chris respectively, but when it was Toby's turn, he admitted he'd been unsure about his decision. He said: "I feel like there's a real opportunity here to test a real connection that could work on the outside. Once you have an opportunity to do that, you have to take it."
Toby shocked everyone on Love Island when he chose to couple up with Georgia S, leaving Arabella in the lurch. His decision caused a stir among the Islanders, with Sophie questioning why Toby hadn't spoken to Arabella before making his move. Sophie was left fuming at the firepit, saying: "It's actually a madness. Imagine waiting to do a recoupling speech and not saying anything to you." To which Arabella simply responded: "It's always me."

Fans quickly took to social media after the recoupling to share their thoughts on Toby's surprise decision. Many speculated that Toby's choice was influenced by the recent public vote. One fan wrote: "Toby saw how low him and Arabella ranked in the order the other day and knew he had to swap to Georgia."
Another viewer posted: "Interesting tho that Toby has now circled back after finding out Georgia was in a top 2 couple." Echoing this sentiment, another fan wrote: "Toby definitely only chose Georgia S because she came second in that couple vote, so he thinks he's got high chance of winning not knowing it's Callum that got him and Georgia second."
Fans have also noticed Georgia and new girl Joanna have seemingly been ignoring each other in the villa. Joanna was the latest bombshell to enter with fellow newcomer Casey O'Gorman on the All Stars series, after four Islanders were dumped from the island. They were not seen talking to each other at all throughout the episode despite knowing each other and were supposedly best pals.
As Joanna got to know the existing Islanders, it was quite noticeable that Georgia was not sat with her and didn't seem to be excited to see her close pal.
