LOVE Island viewers have insisted one of the islanders ‘must recouple’ amid big changes taking place on the show.
Series 11 of the hit ITV2 dating show began airing on June 3.
Tonight’s (July 1) episode has seen the return of the all too familiar Casa Amor, a twist is designed to bring 12 newcomers to shake things up among the existing cast members.
Mimii Ngulube, 24, is currently coupled with Ayo Odukoya, 25.
Both of them arrived on Day 1 and had been previously coupled with other people earlier in the show.
While the two have been separated during Casa Amor, Mimi was approached by newcomer Lionel Awudu, 24, from Reading, asking if she’d like to share a bed.
Following another pair agreeing to do so, Lionel said: “Mimii, I was going to ask you the same question, do you want to share a bed?”
However, the show’s new boy didn’t quite get the answer he’d hoped for, as Mimii replied: “I’m sleeping outside tonight, just for tonight.”
In the meantime, scenes from tonight’s episode have seen Ayo becoming acquainted with fashion designer Jessica Spencer, 25, from London.
While the two are sitting in the kitchen, Jessica asks: “What’s your type?”
Ayo laughs: “I can’t say it… You, innit. I love a pretty face. That’s my problem.”
Jessica smiles: “Pretty faces are meant to cause problems…”
Ayo replies: “Facts. You are doing that as we speak. Causing problems.”
As the islanders get to know the new faces, fans have insisted Mimii rethink her coupling choice.
They didn’t hold back their opinions when it came to Mimii’s next steps, as one wrote: “Mimii is your head screwed on tight or something like…”
