Love Island 2021 has seen more heads turn than ever before (we’re looking at you, Toby) and more friendzoning than we thought was possible. Unlike previous seasons, all the couples have had a pretty rocky journey in the Spanish villa.

Take Millie Court and Liam Reardon, who seemed besotted with one another, well, until Liam snogged Lillie in Casa Amor. They’re back on track now, but Liam’s head turning led to viewers question whether the pair could last on the outside world.

Cracks are even beginning to show between the couple who have been together since day dot – Jake Cornish and Liberty Poole.

Despite Jake handing Liberty the ultimate commitment by making her his girlfriend before Casa Amor, his recent behaviour found him voted one of three least popular contestants in Sunday night’s episode - leaving Liberty SHOOK.

As well as seemingly encouraging the others lads to cheat in Casa Amor (he famously told them all that "they’re not in relationships, get to know the other girls"), a clip of Jake telling the lads that he didn’t want to "rip Liberty’s clothes" off when he first met her was also aired during a Movie Night task.

"It's not that 100% where I look at her and go... I haven't got the girl where I'm like f--k me I wanna rip your clothes off," Jake said in the clip.

"I don't want to fake any sh-t do you know what I mean? I want to be here thinking yeah I really do like her, when really it's not. I don't... I'm lying to myself."

After the clip aired, Liberty was left in tears as she revealed it was hard for her to hear as she "knew [she] wasn’t a supermodel" but it "f--king hurt".

The next day, Liberty confessed her insecurities to Jake, revealing that watching him say that really hurt her – it would hurt anyone, right?

Maura Higgins - Series 5

Irish babe Maura Higgins is one of our all-time favourite Islanders and number one bombshell of all time. Maura entered the villa on Day 10 and went on to leave in fourth place alongside ex Curtis Pritchard. Maura has since proven to be Love Island gold, she went on to take part in Dancing On Ice in early 2020, released a collab with Ego shoes, and landed a HUGE deal with lingerie brand Ann Summers.

Kaz Crossley - Series 4

Kaz made a name for herself when she entered Casa Amor as a bombshell on Day 26 in 2018. After coupling up with Josh Denzel (remember that now ICONIC scene as Georgia Steele called Josh out for not being 'loyal'), she went all the way to the final. Kaz's relationship with Josh fizzled out and she went onto date Love Island alumni Theo Campbell. However, Kaz made a name for herself away from her love life, starting her own business Kazbands, using her platform to raise awareness of the benefits of kickboxing and hosts her own podcast Slide In With Snoochie, Kaz and Jordan.

Greg O'Shea - Series 5

Greg is famously the most successful Love Island bombshell EVER as he was the last to enter the villa in 2019 and walked away the winner alongside Amber Gill. Despite his romance with Amber not lasting, the rugby player has enjoyed huge success since the show - more recently being called up to the Olympic games in Tokyo with the Ireland 7s rugby team. Pretty major, right?

Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury - Series 5

We can't really believe 2018 golden couple Tommy are Molly were both bombshells either (who can forget that ICONIC Molly-Mae hot tub scene). Yep, even though Tommy was a bombshell on the first day, it still counts. The pair are still very much together and have enjoyed so much success since the show. Tommy now has a career as a boxer and Molly is the most followed Islander EVER with over five million Instagram followers. She's also brought out her own tan range, Filter, and has released clothing collections with PrettyLittleThing.

Megan Barton-Hanson - Series 4

Megan was what we wish every single Love Island bombshell was like. She was super, confident and she sure stirred things up. She entered the villa on Day 8, famously stole Wes Nelson from Laura Anderson and made the final and came fourth place. However, Megan's work post-show has made her a feminist sensation. She's joined OnlyFans, had her own lingerie collection with Ann Summers, launched her own podcast You Come First and writes her own sex and love advice column for Vice.

Demi Jones - Series 6

Demi entered the winter series of Love Island on day 16 but we all fell a little in love with her and she made the final with her now ex-boyfriend Luke Mabbott. Since the show, Demi has made a name for herself as an influencer, is a brand ambassador for Tattilashes and more recently, has been documenting her fight with Thyroid cancer. Go Demi!

Ovie Soko - Series 5

Ah Ovie, is there an Islander we miss more? We don't think so. Like the rest in this list, Ovie arrived late to the villa and made it way all the way to the final. Looking back, many of us would have loved it if he won the show alongside his 'sister' Amber Gill, but you win some you lose some. Since the show basketball star Ovie has only got even more popular, he still plays for Great Britain Men's National Basketball Team and even landed his own BBC documentary Ovie: Life After Reality TV.

Finley Tapp - Series 6

It's hard to remember Paige Turley's Love Island experience until her prince Finley Tapp walked in on day five. Finn arguably is the most successful bombshell, as he found a girlfriend AND won a share of 50k - what more could you want?

Kady McDermott - Series 2

It seems like a long time ago, but Kady was one of the original bombshells, entering the villa on day three of season two. Kady found love in the villa and left with her now ex-boyfriend Scott Thomas but she's definitely made a name for herself ever since. Over the years Kady has started her own fitness brand Body Goals by Kady, enjoyed a stint on TOWIE and has released clothing collections with Missy Empire and AX Paris.

Chris Hughes - Series 3

Chris entered series three on day four and set his sights on pretty much EVER female. He made it all the way to the final with Olivia Attwood and he's still as relevant as ever. After the show, Chris and Olivia's life was filmed for their very own reality show Chris and Olivia: Crackin' On (they split in the final episode), he released a song 'Little Bit Leave It' with fellow Islander Kem Cetinay, became a brand ambassador for CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably) and released a book My Life Story: You Bantering Me. Chris now presents horse racing coverage on ITV.

Zara McDermott - Series 4

Zara entered the villa as a bombshell alongside Ellie Brown two weeks in. She quickly coupled up with Adam Collard but she was dumped in a brutal twist ten days later. Despite a nasty split from Adam months after the show ended, Zara didn't let it come between her career and she went onto big things. She appeared on The X Factor: Celebrity in 2019, joined the cast of Made In Chelsea alongside her boyfriend Sam Thompson, signed to Storm models, released a BBC documentary about her experience being a victim of Revenge Porn and teamed up with Missguided for a fashion edit.

“I felt like bursting into tears when I heard that. It really, really hurt me to hear that Jake,” Liberty told Jake.

“Babe obviously my feelings have grown, you idiot. You’re my girlfriend,” Jake replied, prompting fans to question his true intentions as he didn’t seem to reassure her and chose to playfully insult her instead.

"Jake telling Liberty she’s his girlfriend instead of apologising and reassuring her #loveIsland,” wrote one viewer.

Another added, “Jake should have said ‘Libby I was an idiot, you know I think you’re absolutely beautiful’ but instead he called her an idiot… #loveisland.”

In fact, Love Island viewers seem intent on voting Jake off the show, meaning that surely they will never vote him to win, despite the public falling completely in love with Liberty.

The possibility of Jake going home in tonight’s episode is low, as it’s down to his fellow Islanders to decide his fate instead of the public, but there’s still two more weeks of the show left.

"Yes Jake in the bottom!!! Liberty listen to us we are trying to tell you something !! #LoveIsland," wrote one.

Another added, "Wait Jake in the bottom? GUYS. HE’S NOT WINNING THIS THING GOD IS GOOD #LoveIsland"

One more said, "Liberty is gonna be so shocked when she leaves the villa and clocks the disparity between how much she’s loved and how much Jake is hated. I hope she runs a mile #LoveIsland."

This year, many Love Island fans have become more invested in single Islanders, mainly Kaz Kamwi, Liberty Poole and Millie Court. There’s been so many tweets about how they want the girls to win the show and not share the 50K prize pot with their partners. Some have even hinted that they now want Toby Aromolaran and Chloe Burrows – who recently rekindled – to win as they believe they’re the only genuine couple left.

"Guys Toby and Chloe might actually win this #LoveIsland," admitted one fan.
