Love Island fans 'work out' who was dumped from villa after last night’s dramatic cliffhanger

Love Island producers knew exactly what they were doing at the end of last night's instalment, by once again throwing up the rolling credits right after a shock entrance by presenter Maya Jama.

And following one of this season's biggest cliffhangers yet, viewers have developed a theory about which stars could soon be set to say their goodbyes.

Fans were left perched on the edge of their seats when the ITV beauty not only revealed that, after a public vote, Nicole and Ciaran were deemed the 'most compatible couple', but that they'd have to dump another duo themselves.

The Welsh pair - who earlier this week went official with their romance by becoming boyfriend and girlfriend - were visibly shell-shocked by the news, especially after the three couples 'at risk' were revealed by 29-year-old presenter Maya.

As well as newest couple Konnor and Lolly - the latter of whom only joined the show on Friday - the other duos potentially set to be dumped tonight (Wednesday, 19 July) are Grace and Reuben, and Jess and Ayo.

Whilst viewers of the much-loved dating series watched from home, expecting the potentially-doomed trio's fate to be revealed by fan-favourites Nicole and Ciaran, the iconic Love Island exit music soon began playing, letting us know we'd have to wait an entire 24 hours before the next announcement would be made.

As such, a batch of fans have since taken it upon themselves to theorise which stars they believe will be getting the chop tonight (Wednesday 17 July).

Many are under the impression that the most recently-formed duo Konnor and Lolly could be the next to go, purely based on how short-lived their romance has been so far.

The pair have also seen very minimal airtime since joining respectively the show, both admitting to having rather low-key personalities.

"That cliffhanger was so unnecessary cause we all know that lolly and konnor are going , sorry not sorry," one viewer theorised on Twitter last night.

"Cliffhanger is so cringe, we all know Konnor and Lolly are going home," another went on.

Others, however, believe it's the turn of Grace and Reuben - another couple only formed last week - to bid adieu to the Spanish villa.

This could very well be due to the fact that Grace - who was previously coupled up with ex-boyfriend Joey Essex before her savagely binned her off for bombshell Jessy Potts - wasn't actually Reuben's first choice of partner.

After entering the villa last week, he chose Uma Jammeh in a dramatic recoupling, which subsequently saw her partner Wil Anderson dumped, after which they voluntarily left the villa together.

Since then, he has struck up a slight romance with Grace, though viewers aren't quite convinced - especially with the blonde beauty expressing an interest in newbie Josh.

"Grace and Reuben are the least compatible. She said it herself in the re coupling speech and clearly has eyes for Josh," one viewer explained online.

Another continued: "Grace needs to go, she’s not invested in Reuben they are the least compatible, Konnor just getting to know Lolly and he deserves a chance, might not like it but Jess & Ayo are good together…"

By the sounds of things, viewers believe Ayo and Jess will be saved by the couple.

Whilst Ayo has remained in the villa alongside Nicole and Ciaran since Day 1, he seems to have enjoyed cracking on with his Casa Amor beau Jess.

On top of this, he's still been keeping his original bae Mimii on the backbench, with many fans predicting that the exes will rekindle the romance that once was.

One thing is for sure - we're in for a head-spinning showdown tonight...
