Love Island daily: fallout, market moves and odds

Thursday's talking points

What's happening

Viewers tuned into the most emotionally-charged episode of Love Island in this series on Wednesday night as the fallout of Casa Amor divided the villa.

The show opened with Amber Gill, favourite to be top girl only last week, discovering that Michael Griffiths had palmed her off for new girl Joanna Chimonides.

Elsewhere, in awkward scenes brimming with dramatic irony, Amy Hart confessed her love for "half-boyfriend" Curtis Pritchard upon her return to the villa, only for the dancer to confess his head had been turned by new girl Jourdan Riane during Amy's absence, to the disgust of the other returning islanders.

Betting moves

With the majority of islanders at each other's throats, viewers could at least take solace from power couple Tommy Fury and Molly-Mae Hague, who are now as short as 1-8 to collect the £50,000 prize.

Anton Danyluk and Belle Hassan are another couple to have flown under the radar throughout the drama and have lengthened slightly to 11-2 for victory.

With Maura Higgins and Lucie Donlan advising Amy to ditch Curtis after he boldly questioned the trust she had placed in their relationship, the former frontrunners are now as big as 20-1 for the win.

What might happen next?

The episode concluded with Amber and Joanna having been sent for afternoon tea and you get the sense it could be a few days before tensions ease.

The villa is at boiling point and central to the fiery clashes has been the divisive Anna Vakili, who opted to recouple with Ovie Soko after her time in Casa Amor.

However, her feelings for old flame Jordan Hames may not yet have been extinguished after the pair had an intimate encounter, prompting her and Ovie to drift to 28-1 to win the series.

Her behaviour has not gone down well with viewers on Twitter, nor has it with bookmakers, who generally rate her the least likely of the girls to triumph.
