The latest installment saw the Casa Amor twist finally come to a head, with the Islanders having to make the decision of whether to stay with their current partners or recouple.
The past few days have seen the boys and girls separated and 12 new bombshells arriving to try and sway them away from their partners.
Sean, 24, has seen his head turn twice, despite being coupled up with Matilda, also 24, and explored connections with both Ruby and Diamanté.
He and Diamanté, 21, even shared a steamy kiss in Wednesday's episode as their romance heated up.

In his speech, he said that during his time in Casa Amor he'd been like 'a little kid in a sweet shop' causing winces from the other boys.
But in shocking twist, the sweets salesman decided to stick with Matilda, with her doing the same.
As host Maya Jama confronted Sean on whether he had stayed loyal, he admitted to exploring other connections, but insisted he felt stronger about Matilda.
But when Maya gave Ruby and Diamanté a chance to speak, they confessed how they had felt led on by Sean and that he had never made his intentions to pick Matilda clear.
Diamanté pointed out that he had told her he saw a lot of potential with her as well as sharing a kiss, saying that maybe he 'wasn't as sweet as we thought'.
But surprisingly, Matilda jumped in to lash out the girls, saying: 'Well you're not sat here babe' to the shock of Maya.
She insisted that she was fine with Sean cracking on with other girls, but continued to rant at Diamanté and Ruby, saying neither of them could be special if Sean hadn't picked them, to which Diamanté shot back: 'You can have him'.
Viewers were shocked by the fiery exchange and took to social media to slam Matilda for getting mad at the girls and not at Sean, saying it was 'uncalled for' and 'embarrassing'.

They fumed: 'Matilda, GIRL why you coming for the Casa girls when Sean is the one you should be coming for cause he was the one who kissed a girl and telling them things; Matilda hun ur embarrassing yourself'.
'i’m so confused why’s matilda being nasty to diamanté when she doesn’t even know the whole story ?! it was totally uncalled for; Matilda why are you speaking to Diamanté like this?'
'matilda. girl. i promise you don’t need to get this defensive over a man who no one wanted for 3 weeks; Excuse me not Matilda fighting for the sweet boy'.
'Why is Matilda being so aggy with the casa girls?! Like Sean ain’t no prize lmfao; Matilda stand up babes and have that attitude towards the guy who was three timing you'.
'“You’re not sat here” girl, your man basically cheated on you. And you acting like that?! DUMB BEHAVIOR; Matilda has all this mouth for a boy that looks and acts like Sean. Shut your mouth and get out my face'.
'Matilda is doing a little too much. Your anger should be with sean; Matilda being rude to the casa girls wtf?? They were trying to have her back and she’s telling them they aren’t special. Not a girls girl clearly'.
'Matilda giving pure attitude to Diamonte and Ruby when they’re telling her how Sean was moving in casa amor and she’s telling them how unspecial they are is not the move; Oh Matilda is a whole clown. Why is she taking it out on the girl?'
'matilda being sat with sean is not a flex that guy has begged around the villa using sweets as a pickup line but you think you’re better than the casa girls who just told you the guy you coupled up with is a weirdo…'

LOVE ISLAND 2024: MEET THE CONTESTANTS
NAME: Mimii Ngulube
AGE: 24
FROM: Portsmouth
OCCUPATION: Mental Health Nurse
WHY LOVE ISLAND? The pool in Portsmouth is not giving. I've tried dating and speaking to people on social media and it just hasn't been successful. Applying was a spontaneous thing, I didn't expect to get here!
WHAT WILL YOU BRING TO THE VILLA? My girls are my rocks and I'm theirs, so I'll be a good friend as well as going in there to find a man. I like dressing up, so I'll bring style, and I'd like to think I'm quite funny so I'll make people laugh. Bringing honesty as well - I'm good at picking up on people's personality traits and side-eyeing those who might be liars.
NAME: Sean Stone
AGE: 24
FROM: Hertford
OCCUPATION: Sweets Salesman
WHY LOVE ISLAND? I've always been one for relationships, and when you have found someone you want to be with it's the best feeling. Now is the perfect time, the one thing that is missing is my soulmate.
HOW WOULD FRIENDS/FAMILY DESCRIBE YOU? Very loving, caring and thoughtful. I'm the kind of guy that, if you broke down on the motorway and needed your tyre changed, I'd be there at any time of night.
NAME: Ayo Odukoya
AGE: 25
FROM: Canning Town
OCCUPATION: Model
WHAT WILL YOU BRING TO THE VILLA? I think I'd bring excitement and joy. I think people would have someone to come to and talk to and feel comfortable being around or to have a laugh with. I think I'm somebody everyone would take to.
WHY SHOULD SOMEBODY DATE YOU? I feel like the way I carry myself is very respectful and I think people take to that and once you show who you are to somebody you get it back tenfold. The way I am gives off a good enough energy for people to feel comfortable around me.
NAME: Nicole Samuel
AGE: 24
FROM: Aberdare, Wales
OCCUPATION: Accounts Manager
WHY ARE YOU SINGLE? I've been enjoying single life and the attention of different boys, it's fun. I've enjoyed being able to go on holiday with the girls and not having to worry about someone back home. All the girls are there texting in their room and I'm out till 4 in the morning living my best life.
WHAT IS SOMETHING NOT MANY PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT YOU? I became a world champion dancer in 2011, not many people know that. I was a professional street dancer.
NAME: Jess White
AGE: 25
FROM: Stockport
OCCUPATION: Retail Manager
WHY ARE YOU SINGLE? I don't underestimate the fact that I'm hard work. I know what I want, and I'm not easily pleased. When you're a loud, outgoing woman, sometimes it can intimidate men - men don't always want that.
WHAT'S YOUR TYPE ON PAPER? I love a set of white Turkey teeth but a good set of Turkey teeth. I would say, personality traits: you have to be family orientated. You have to be tall, you can't be shorter than me, I can't be having to question whether I can wear heels around you and what height of heels I can wear. If you're vertically challenged, it's not for me.
NAME: Ciaran Davies
AGE: 21
FROM: Pencoed, South Wales
OCCUPATION: Surveyor
WHAT'S YOUR TYPE ON PAPER? Obviously looks but humour is a big thing for me, I'm a bit of a wind up so I want a girl who can give it back. Loyalty is another one for me: I think that's the most important thing to look for in a relationship.
WHAT IS SOMETHING NOT MANY PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT YOU? When I was in Malia on a boys holiday I pretended to be Liam Reardon from series 7 to get into a club because they wouldn't let us in. It worked and we ended up getting a private booth and free drinks all night.
NAME: Uma Jammeh
AGE: 23
FROM: Islington, North London
OCCUPATION: VIP host / model
WHY ARE YOU SINGLE? I feel like I've been so unlucky in love! It's all been underwhelming so far. I don't know what the reason is, I think it's them, as it can't be me!

NAME: Grace Jackson
AGE: 25
FROM: Manchester
OCCUPATION: Model and social media marketing coordinator
WHY ARE YOU SINGLE? No guys have good communication and it's painful. I like someone who doesn't take themselves and life too seriously. My lifestyle can put guys off a little bit, I like to go out and go abroad a lot. They can't keep up with my lifestyle. It's the life that I want, and it helps with my business.
NAME: Wil Anderson
AGE: 23
FROM: Whitley Bay, Tyne And Wear
OCCUPATION: Quantity surveyor

AGE: 28

WHY LOVE ISLAND AND WHY NOW? I am ready to find somebody. I’ve been in a couple of relationships and now feels like the right time as I have learnt from past relationships. I’ll be able to pick out the red flags now.

OCCUPATION: Brand Partnerships Associate
WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU WILL BRING TO THE VILLA? I’m fun, I like to get involved, so I’d like to think I will get stuck in as soon as I arrive. I also have a very sarcastic sense of humour, so I’ll make everyone laugh, but I’m a Sagittarius, so I also have a fiery side and I'm not afraid to say what I think or stand my ground. I’m not very good at taking 'no' for an answer.
Emma Milton
NAME: Emma Milton
AGE: 30
FROM: Manchester
OCCUPATION: Fashion Content Creator
WHO DO YOU HAVE YOUR EYE ON IN THE VILLA? I had a brief thing with Joey a few years ago. We’ve been friends for years and I would be open to reconnecting with Joey. We get on really well and we have a lot of mutual friends. I am also friends with Grace in Manchester, so it’s a little bit awkward.
