When Love Island host Maya Jama teased 'more twists' for series 12 she was not lying.

Within the first week of the show, two Islanders were dumped - Sophie Lee after 24 hours and Blu Chegini following a savage decision. After failing to couple up with anyone, it was up to Blu and Shea Mannings (the two vulnerable Islanders) to decide who would leave the villa.

While both declared they weren't leaving, in the end the rest of the Islanders decided to vote and it was bye bye, Blu.

For 39 days that is.

Remember what we were saying about twists? Well, Blu has RETURNED to the Spanish villa, alongside Megan Forte-Clarke, and it feels like Love Island 2023 with Molly Marsh all over again.

'There's a bit of open space now and people know the game a little bit more, so hopefully the couple of girls I've got my eyes on are willing to explore,' he revealed ahead of his return, 'I told you all from the get go I'm not leaving and I'm not f***ing leaving!'

Someone is a Wolf of Wall Street fan....

What happened when Blu Chegini was on Love Island?

During his first four day stint, Blu only coupled up with Alima Gagigo.

Their coupling came about because, for the first ever time, the girls picked the guy they'd want to couple up with based purely on their dating profile and nothing else - they didn't even see what the boys looked like.

Alima picked Blu, but he managed to put his foot in it before they'd even had a full conversation.

It all kicked off when Maya said to him, 'There's six girls and Alima has gone for you, how are you feeling about that?'

Blu then replied, 'Good. Every girl is beautiful here so...'

Luckily, Maya had Alima's back and said, 'Every girl is beautiful but Alima chose you, so...'

They all managed to laugh it off but after Blu and Alima had another conversation where he told her, 'I'll be honest, on paper you're not my type', fans let their feelings be known.

'"You're not my type on paper" does Blu not realise he’s talking to the most beautiful woman on the show,' wrote one person on X.

Another commented, 'I’m actually happy Maya checked Blu cause what are you talking about.'

A third said, '"On paper you’re not my type" Blu don’t even unpack because there’s no need to. Alima can have a double bed…'

One more added, 'Blu said he didn’t have a type in his interview but now Alima is not his type on paper.'

Safe to say things didn't work out between the Islanders. Here is hoping Blu's second stint in the villa will be a tad more successful.
