Michael needs to get his head together and do the right thing.”Speaking to Amber, Maura Higgins said that Michael clearly still had feelings for the 21-year-old.“He did have feelings – he still does,” she told Amber . “The man never stops staring at you.”Michael later stated that he had made life-long friends in the villa and “to give that up would be silly” in light of Joanna’s departure.Several Twitter users also expressed doubt over Michael’s affections for Joanna, suggesting that he would’ve left the villa with her if he truly saw a future with her.One user wrote: “THEN GO HOME, MICHAEL. are you not having fun? you not entertained? leave! [sic]”“Does Michael not realise he could still leave???? [sic]” another wrote.Another viewer added: “Michael just proved his relationship to Joanna wasn’t worth sh*t.”> THEN GO HOME, MICHAEL. are you not having fun? you not entertained? leave!

After a huge row between Anton and Belle on Love Island on Sunday night, not to mention both Michael and Joanna being put at risk of being dumped from the island, we knew tonight’s episode would be very eventful indeed.
We found out who was forced to leave the villa, what happened next between Anton and Belle, and Curtis finally made his choice between Maura and Francesca.
Here are the talking points from tonight’s episode…
Michael savagely rejected Amber
After ordering Amber to sit down, Michael turned into the ultimate ice queen and made it crystal clear to Amber that, despite her extending the olive branch to him, he has absolutely no interest in her and wants to be with Joanna. That is, despite Michael deciding to stay in the villa for two weeks seemingly pointlessly while Joanna is on the outside. It was brutal.
Curtis finally made a choice between Maura and Francesca
Having deliberated between choosing to be with Maura or Francesca for the past few days, Curtis finally decided to go for Maura and the pair shared a kiss on the balcony. A surprising couple, but they do actually look quite cute together.
Anton and Belle got back together
While the couple’s fiery argument in the Love Island nightclub appeared to be the end of their relationship for good, Anton and Belle promptly made up and decided to get back together… much to Molly-Mae’s bafflement.
New bombshells are set to arrive in the villa
At the end of the episode, it was announced that three new bombshells will be entering the villa to ruffle some feathers. It’ll be two girls and a boy – and one of the girls has her eye on Ovie. She knows.
