Love Island fans are in for a treat as bosses have ramped up the penultimate episodes ahead of Monday night's final show after shaking up the format with a new plot twist16:20, 25 Jul 2026As Love Island nears the final in just a few days, it has been revealed that the show plummets into chaos following a decision to shake-up the format with the returning Islanders.Reportedly former islanders are set to return to the show for a 'firepit jury' where they will share thier thoughts about the couples in the show apparently these scenes will have a dramatic impact on who is left in Monday night's final.The Sun has reported that the new plot twist will be polarising among viewers as some fans may believe it is the best thing while others may be left disappointed. The returning Islanders include those from the villa, bombshells and OGs.In previous series the Islanders that return to the show before the live final, get to vote on which couples are the least compatible and who does not deserve a place in the final. But things reportedly take a turn as two former islanders, Namibia and Tina reportedly go head to head during the firepit debate.A source told the publication: "Obviously everyone is hoping the scenes are dramatic but neither girl held back."We saw on All Stars how explosive it can be when outside beef is served up when Harrison Solomon was exposed by Jess Harding and this series was spicy in a whole new way."Tina and Namibia clashed and it left everyone shocked, especially the villa Islanders who had no idea this was even happening on the outside."It left the villa lot worrying about what else was being said on the outside."However, with only two days left until the hugely anticipated live final, it has been claimed that producers have only just got started with stirring the pot.During last week Thursday's episode, host Maya Jama revealed that Priya and Aidan, Mica and Samraj and Julia and Lorenzo had received the highest number of votes from the cast and were now placed in a vulnerable position.A public vote was then opened towards the end of the episode. While the remaining couples reflected on their journey, Simba was alerted to a text that informed the group the public had been voting to save their favourite couple out of the three.And moments later Kavan received a message that confirmed Aidan and Priya had been chosen for the axe by the public.Kavan Murphy, who is Aidan's brother , has been partnered with Jasmine from nearly the beginning of the ITV show. But fans were left concerned following a comment made by his brother Keenan about Jasmine.While on former Love Island star Tyrique's podcast he was asked his thoughts about his brother's partner choice, as Tyrique picked up on the fact that he wasn't a huge fan.In response, he said: "When I say I don’t like her, she’s not my cup of tea. Obviously I’m not in a relationship with her, you know what I mean?"Kav could probably say the same thing about my missus. It is what it is, I’m not gonna hate him for it." On hearing his thoughts, fans rushed to their social media with worry for the unknowing star.One person said: "Jasmine changing herself for kavan yet his family dont even like her.”Article continues belowAnother warned: "Run jasmine RUN,"Meanwhile a third commented: "I really feel for Jasmine because I just know she’s going to get her heart broken (again) by Kav and his family!"Like this story?
