Tanya is buzzing for Casa Amor, the girls make their great escape and Ron tells Lana to ‘trust me’ … your daily Love Island recap at a glance
As we reach the halfway point of Love Island, Casa Amor was back on Sunday’s episode of the ITV2 show.
The show kicked off with the still-simmering tension between Tanya Manhenga and Shaq Mohammed, with the two no longer on speaking terms after that ex comment.
After trying, and failing, to talk it out with her fellow Islanders, Tanya finally kissed and made up with her beau.
But the reunion was short-lived as the girls got a text and they made their great escape to Casa Amor.
Tanya was buzzing for the change of scene, and soon the six new boys were making their entrance, but whose head will swivel?
TOM AND SAMIE AND ELLIE AND CASE AND CLAUDIA ARE LOVED UP
Tom Clare and Samie Elishi and Claudia Fogarty and Casey O’Gorman looked happy and loved-up as they reflected on Friday night’s dumping.
Ellie Spence and Jordan Odofin said their goodbyes on Friday after receiving the lowest public votes.
Sammie and Tom said they were both pleased to still be in the villa after being in the bottom three couples, and would have been happy to leave together.
They cuddled together on the sofa, before Tom said in the Beach Hut that he was glad to still have the time to get to know her.
Speaking to the boys he said he couldn’t see another girl turning his head, and added: ‘I’m so excited to see how it goes in the outside world’.

FANS ARE CONVINCED TANYA’S HEAD WILL TURN
Fans changed their tune on Sunday night after Tanya admitted her head could be turned if things soured between her and partner Shaq Muhammad.
The pair have been smooth sailing in the villa ever since airport security officer Shaq, 24, admitted he loved Tanya, 22, who said the same back.
But following a row over washing up, which was aired on Thursday, things only got worse after Tanya compared him to an ex boyfriend.
Speaking to the girls the morning after the disagreement, Olivia asked if things between the pair could ever change and whether Tanya could be open to meeting someone new.
Tanya, clearly frustrated, responded ‘I’m trying, I’m being patient.’

Taking to Twitter as the episode aired, fans shared their views on the matter, suggesting Tanya’s head ‘will turn’ as soon as she enters Casa Amor.

THE GIRLS MAKE THEIR GREAT ESCAPE
Sunday night saw the girls finally make their way to Casa Amor, and the boys realise where they’ve gone.
The girls received a text telling them they are set to be whisked away to the second villa for the coming days.
And it was Tanya who looked the most delighted.
She excitedly danced around and while Claudia Fogerty said she worried it was too soon, Tanya shut her down and said: ‘No it’s f***king not’.
As the girls were getting ready at the original villa, Samie received a top secret text.

Shushing the girls so the boys don’t hear, Samie said: ‘Girls, shush keep it quiet it’s time for you to sneak out of the Villa as you are off on a girly getaway, grab any essentials and please leave the Villa immediately #MakeABreakForIt #CasaAmor.’
As the girls rushed out of the Villa in their dressing gowns and towels, with just a few of their belongings, it wasn’t long before the boys clock their absence.
As Shaq walked into the empty dressing room he said: ‘Where are the girls?’ Running back upstairs to the boys he said: ‘No, no, no! Boys…the girls are gone.’
As they all rushed outside to the garden to look for the girls. Among the reactions, Will repeatedly yelled: ‘Jessie!’ and Kai calls out: ‘Olivia!’
However while the boys were clearly already missing the girls, it seemed that it was ‘out of sight, out of mind’ for the Love Island girls.
Upon arrival, they chanted: ‘What happens in Casa Amor stays in Casa Amor.’

Playboy Ron Hall couldn’t hide his excitement as Casa Amor returned.
The financial advisor from Essex, 25, looked elated after getting the text saying they would be joined by six new girls, saying: ‘We’ve got our own party now!’
Ron is currently coupled up with Lana Jenkins after a rocky on-off time with her but as he packed her Casa Amor bags for her left a not which read ‘trust me’ on it despite his excited reaction.
The pair only recently reunited in a couple after she picked Casey over him after deciding she couldn’t trust him 100 per cent.
At the start of the series Ron had wandering eyes for girls that came in including now-dumped contestant Ellie – giving Lana doubts.
