Love Island's Ella divides fans after 'most savage recoupling' in show's history
Ella Thomas' decision to return to the villa with a new man on her arm has divided Love Island fans.
Wednesday night's offering of the ITV2 series saw six Islanders dumped and sent home after a short but sweet Casa Amor stint.
Host Maya Jama, 28, was on hand to oversee the drama, with fans watching at home gushing over the presenter's style and beauty.
Numerous couples chose to see how things go with a new partner, but one in particular has really got viewers divided.
As Maya pushed Tyrique Hyde, 24, to decide if he wanted to stick with original partner Ella or try his luck with a Casa Amor babe, he opted to stay loyal.
Corrie's Sue Cleaver says I'm A Celebrity stint helped her to push boundariesBut the semi-professional footballer was left stunned when Ella made her way to the firepit with another footballer on her arm, Ouzy See.
Ella was equally surprised to see Tyrique standing on his own, admitting to Maya she thought her former partner "might miss the game". Tyrique savagely hit back, claiming Ella was "never mine, just my turn."
He went on to tell his former partner: "I’m telling you it’s done. Wish you all the best bro have a blast."
Later talking to Kady McDermott, who also found herself single thanks to the savage recoupling, Tyrique called himself "a f***ing idiot" as two-time Love Island star Kady tried to calm him down.
"Nah Ty is hurt, if he puts pen to paper rn he’s coming out with an R&B classic today #LoveIsland," one fan joked on Twitter after watching the emotional scenes.
Another added: "Ik i was chatting all this shit about ty but i feel kinda bad idk #LoveIsland."
"Nahhh idk how I feel about this
Ty and Ella’s relationship is rocky as fuckkk but MAN said he was on the way to LOVE jesusssss I can’t help but feel bad. #LoveIsland," one sympathetic fan mused.
But others felt Tyrique's heartbreak was his own making and had no sympathy for the sad Islander.
"ty you’ve done this to ella FOR WEEKS with every new girl who walked through those doors i need to you stop playing victim #LoveIsland," one fan begged on Twitter.
Richard 'shuts up' GMB guest who says Hancock 'deserved' being called 'd***head'"YES ELLA ty should know he can’t treat you like crap and get away with it #LoveIsland," another rejoiced, with a third fan of Ella's decision quipping: "ella bringing back ouzy whilst ty is standing there single will simply be the best casa moment in history #LoveIsland."
