It was a dramatic night in the Love Island<\/a> villa, with two more contestants exiting the show after their fellow islanders voted for them to leave.<\/p>\n

All\u2019s fair in love and war, and all that.<\/p>\n

And if that wasn\u2019t excitement enough for one episode, there was a BIG development that is guaranteed to ruffle everyone\u2019s feathers.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s official: the dreaded Casa Amor<\/a> is back, which means the boys and girls are in for one hell of a ride.<\/p>\n

Didn\u2019t get to tune in last night?\u00a0You can watch Love Island on catch up<\/a>, otherwise read on for our full recap of episode 25.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

What happened on Love Island episode 26 last night?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Last night marked the end of the Love Island road for Antigoni Buxton<\/a> and Charlie Radnedge<\/a> after their peers made the \u201cvery hard\u201d decision to eliminate them from the running.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of us was going to have to go, so obviously I\u2019d rather I got to stay, but it is what it is,\u201d said Antigoni. \u201cI\u2019m really happy for Danica that she\u2019s going to get her chance to explore. I think she was really, really excited to meet somebody.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Charlie added: \u201cPerhaps I could have had a bit more chance to find someone but it is what it is.\u201d<\/p>

But their sadness was short-lived following the announcement that the ladies were going on a girls\u2019 night out \u2013 which turned out to be a ruse by the crafty Love island producers. The GNO was, in fact, code for Casa Amor (dun, dun dunnn!) \u2013 and six shiny new men for the ladies to feast their eyes on.<\/p>\n

The addition of the new arrivals also means that Gemma Owen<\/a> isn\u2019t the only one on the show with a famous dad, with Ronan Keating\u2019s son Jack joining the mix.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe will be watching when I\u2019m on it for sure,\u201d he said. \u201cHe\u2019s buzzing for me. Me and my dad are very close, we\u2019re best mates.\u201d<\/p>\n

While opposites attract, commonality can also lead to romance. Should Luca Bish<\/a> be worried?<\/p>\n

Ekin-Su Cu\u0308lcu\u0308log\u0306lu<\/a> and Davide Sanclimenti<\/a> were also in a good place prior to the girls\u2019 departure, with both going out of their way to make the other feel appreciated \u2013 the former got her morning coffee, while the latter received a plate of post-workout pancakes.<\/p>\n

But is that all about to change following this seismic development?<\/p>\n

Grab your cagoules, folks. There\u2019s a storm coming\u2026<\/p>\n
