Love Island bombshells Yasmin and George sent two singletons home during only for a surprise twist to be revealed at the end of Wednesday night’s brutal episode.
Host Maya Jama tasked the new bombshells with a secret mission of dumping one boy and one girl from the villa on Tuesday.
Maya told them: ‘You can dump anyone for any reason… What you’re about to do will rock the villa. They won’t see this coming. And remember – this is our little secret.’
After 24 hours, it was time to choose – with Ellie and Samraj picked as the singletons sent home in a double dumping.
Breaking down in tears, Yasmin said: ‘I’m so sorry, its been a mutual thing and we’ve both had to agree on it. It’s not easy but we’ve just had to come together to agree.’
‘I was obviously the biggest competition, even still proceeding to befriend me – it’s fake’, Ellie fumed.
Since she entered the villa on day one, Ellie has been coupled up with Aidan until Yasmin walked in as a bombshell and shook things up.
After plenty of flirty chats, Yasmin sent Ellie home in a bid to couple up with Aidan.
Yet in a Love Island first, a huge twist was unveiled at the end of the episode which saw Ellie and Samraj receive a text message teasing ‘their time is not up yet’.

Will Ellie and Samraj get one last chance at finding love? Viewers will have to wait and see in Thursday’s episode.
Love Island returned to our screens on Monday night – and this time the new batch of sexy singletons got to pick who to couple up with themselves right off the bat instead of a public vote deciding – before two bombshells arrived to create chaos.
The new series kicked off at night for the very first time, with Maya making an immediate entrance as the Islanders headed into the villa for an exclusive welcome party under the stars.
Viewers watched Aidan, Mica, Lorenzo, Samraj, Robyn, Lola, Angelista, Ope, Jasmine, Sean, Ellie and Sam start getting to know each other.
They then played an Ice Breaker round to get to know each other where they were asked who they fancied the most, who were their types and if they had seen any red flag behaviour yet.
Soon Maya said the Islanders got to choose who to couple up with themselves rather than the public voting. If multiple people were interested in the same person – they had to work it out themselves.
As they made their minds up between themselves, Mica picked Samraj, Lorenzo picked Jasmine, Aidan picked Ellie, Angelista picked Ope, Sean picked Lola and Sam was left with Robyn.
