This week on Love Island, the couples were put to the test as they took on the lie detector challenge.
For some, it was a chance to prove their loyalty to their partner. For others, it was an opportunity to clear the air and get to the bottom of any lingering doubts.
And, in the case of Ellie and Charlie, it was a chance to finally put to rest the rumours that she had been unfaithful during her time in the villa.
Ellie had been adamant that she had never cheated on Charlie, but the lie detector results revealed that she had in fact kissed another boy while they were broken up.
Charlie was understandably hurt and upset by the news, but Ellie was quick to explain that it was a moment of madness that she regretted immediately.
In the end, the couple decided to give each other another chance and see if they could move past this hurdle.
It was a tough week for Ellie and Charlie, but they managed to come out the other side stronger than ever.
We hope they can continue to build on this progress and we wish them all the best for the future.
What happened in Episode 42
The 42nd episode of Love Island Season 9 was a momentous one, as it saw the final recoupling of the season. After weeks of drama, tension and plenty of romance, the final four couples were finally revealed.
As expected, there were plenty of shocks and surprises along the way. Perhaps the biggest was the fact that Paige and Finn were not one of the final four couples. This meant that either Finn would be leaving the villa alone, or Paige would have to couple up with someone else.
In the end, it was Finn who decided to leave the villa, meaning that Paige was left single. This was a huge shock to everyone, as it was widely believed that Paige and Finn were one of the strongest couples in the villa.
The other big surprise was the fact that Maura and Curtis were not one of the final four couples. This meant that either Maura would be leaving the villa alone, or Curtis would have to couple up with someone else.
In the end, it was Maura who decided to leave the villa, meaning that Curtis was left single. This was a huge shock to everyone, as it was widely believed that Maura and Curtis were one of the strongest couples in the villa.
The final four couples were:
- Amber and Greg
- Ovie and India
- Molly-Mae and Tommy
- Jordan and Anna
This meant that the final two couples were Greg and Amber, and Ovie and India.
The final episode of the season will air on Monday, July 29th at 9pm on ITV2.

Love Island’s final dumping saw four of the Islanders sent home in a brutal twist, leaving the remaining eight stunned.
The Islanders were gathered around the fire pit when host Caroline Flack arrived to break the news that, for the first time ever, four people would be leaving the villa.
After much deliberation, the Islanders decided to send home Sam and Georgia, as well as Ellie and Charlie.
As the four walked out of the villa, the remaining Islanders were left in shock, with many of them in tears.
Dani was particularly upset at the news, as she had grown close to Georgia during her time in the villa.

She was seen comforting Georgia as she left, and later broke down in tears in the Beach Hut.
‘I’m so upset, I can’t believe it. I don’t understand why they didn’t want to keep any of us,’ she said.
‘I just feel so horrible. I just keep thinking about all the fun we had together and I just feel so sad. I just wish I could have done more.’
Meanwhile, Jack was also left devastated by the news, as he had grown close to Charlie during their time in the villa.
‘I’m absolutely gutted, I’m in shock. I just feel like I’ve had my heart ripped out,’ he said.
‘I just don’t understand it. I feel like I’ve been mugged off. I just don’t get it.’

However, some of the Islanders were more positive about the situation, with Josh and Kaz saying that they were excited to have more time together.
What viewers think of what happened
Love Island Season 9 Episode 42 was the most controversial episode of the season. After recoupling, the girls were forced to choose between two guys, and the guys had to choose between two girls. This meant that some people were left without a partner.
Some viewers were outraged by this turn of events, and took to social media to voice their displeasure. One viewer even started a petition to have the episode removed from the show’s official YouTube channel.
Others, however, thought that the episode was entertaining and that it made for good television. Some even said that they felt sorry for the people who were left without a partner.
Overall, it seems that the reaction to the episode was mixed. Some people loved it, while others hated it. But one thing is for sure: it was one of the most talked-about episodes of the season.
What’s next for the Islanders
With the final episode of Love Island season 9 now airing in the UK, fans are left wondering what will happen next for their favourite Islanders.
While the show’s aftercare team will no doubt be on hand to support the contestants as they adjust to life outside the villa, there are a few things we know they’ll be up to in the coming months.
- Reuniting with family and friends
After spending eight weeks living in close quarters with a group of strangers, the Islanders will no doubt be looking forward to catching up with their loved ones. We imagine they’ll be spending a lot of time catching up on all the gossip and sharing stories about their time in the villa.
- Making appearances
Now that they’re household names, it’s likely that the Islanders will be in high demand for public appearances. We wouldn’t be surprised if we saw them popping up at nightclubs and other events around the country.
- Pursuing new opportunities
With their newfound fame, the Islanders will have plenty of opportunities to pursue new projects and ventures. We imagine we’ll see them appearing in magazines and newspapers, as well as on TV and social media.
- Adjusting to life outside the villa
Of course, life outside the villa won’t be all parties and appearances. The Islanders will have to get used to living their lives in the public eye and dealing with the inevitable scrutiny that comes with it.
- What’s next for the Islanders? only time will tell what’s in store for the Islanders. We’re sure they’ll make the most of their newfound fame and we can’t wait to see what they do next.
