Last night’s episode was INTENSE.
From recoupling to rage, tears and trauma we discussed it all on our Love Island podcast below.
Seriously, it’s worth a listen.
Our hearts have totally broken for Love Island’s Amy Hart.
The 26-year-old has been partnered up with Curtis Pritchard since Day 2 of the season, and seemed to have been going from strength-to-strength.
That is, until the Casa Amor twist – where Curtis had his head turned by new girl Jourdan.He even told her that he would recouple with her, given the chance.
Ultimately, Jourdan told him she wasn’t interested in him – and recoupled with Danny, instead.
But viewers’ hearts were breaking for Amy as, while this was going on, she was back in Casa Amor telling Molly-Mae how much she loved Curtis as he was her “best friend and boyfriend rolled into one”.
Then came the recoupling, where Curtis told the Islanders that he had been “lying” to himself about how well he and Amy’s relationship had bene going – but still decided to recouple with her.
Wednesday night’s episode will see Amy and Curtis go for the “talk” he told her they need to have in the snug.
Curtis decides to be brutally honest with Amy, telling her how his head had been turned by Jourdan – and that he had kissed her during the challenges.
He tells her:
“I felt everything with us was absolutely perfect and I could see a future then the new girls came into the Villa…
“Then I felt something and I didn’t know what. I pulled a girl for a chat, I spoke to her.”
Amy is taken aback and says:
“So she’s the Islander you fancy the most and she’s still here…”
Curtis relays how his discussion with Jourdan went whilst Amy was in Casa Amor:
“This is the bit you’re going to find the hardest, and I am very, very sorry that I am going to have to say this but I will not lie to you. I did say ‘I like you, I think you are very attractive and good looking’ [to Jourdan]
“I spoke about you and said everything is perfect with you, everything’s great, I can see a future with you. I don’t understand why I’m feeling this for anyone else, I was contemplating asking you to be my girlfriend.
“Then I said I’m not over thinking anything anymore, I’m not going with my head and I feel something and I’m so confused and I don’t understand what it is.”
He admits this is when he said he would recouple with Jourdan if the Recoupling was soon after that discussion, which breaks Amy’s heart.
“I said I would recouple with her and she said no basically,” Curtis admits.
“So she said no, so you were like ‘Oh right then go back to Ames,’’” Amy snaps back.
Curtis tells her:
“No. I was still going to pursue her then something just clicked. I realised that I had been lying to myself, I’d been lying to everybody and worst of all I’d been lying to you…
“Our relationship has stuff we need to work on, it really does and I’ve lied and said it hasn’t.
“A girl has walked in that has some of the things I’d like us to work on and this is where I felt my connection with her…
“I would like to work on our relationship and work on the things and make them better.”
A distraught Amy tells him how she had spent her life “looking for someone who accepts me for me” and how she had truly thought she had found that.
Later, on the swing seat, Amy confides in Maura, Molly-Mae and Lucie about the situation.
However when Amy admits she loves Curtis, an irate Maura says:
“He doesn’t [love you] because he wouldn’t have done that if he did. That’s harsh and I’m sorry. Do you honestly think you deserve this?”
Curtis is visibly emotional following his discussion with Amy and is sad that he has hurt her.
Tommy and Danny go to support him, with the boxer telling him:
“This whole thing has made you realise that there are things missing, no big deal. There are things missing in every relationship.
“You’ve not done anything wrong it’s just made you realise there are things missing. She’s never had anything like this with a boy before she’s just scared that’s all.”
After having time to take it all in, and after having some advice from her gal pals, Amy wants to readdress things with Curtis.
Taking control of the situation, Amy tells Curtis:
“I was coming back to the Villa to tell you that I loved you. I’ve been away for four days and I come back to find out that you’ve been snogging other people and telling other people you fancy them, telling them you want to re-couple with them.
“You have zero respect for me to do that in front of my friends… I feel like I deserve better than to be basically cheated on.
“I never thought you’d do this to me, you’re the perfect man after all. You are not. You can sleep on the day bed again tonight.”
As she goes to bed – on her own – she tells Anna and Molly-Mae that Curtis was her “everything” and that she never thought he would do that to her.
Clearly upset, in the Beach Hut Amy says:
“I thought I’d met my first love and the one and it turns out I haven’t. I’m someone’s back up plan yet again and he disrespected me in such a way.
“I wouldn’t have ever looked at anyone else. He was my future and now I have nothing and he’s taken that away from me.”
