Before the latest series of Love Island returned to our TV screens Maya Jama teased 'more twists' and she was not lying.

From Sophie Lee getting dumped after 24 hours and Harry Cooksley's ex-girlfriend Emma Munro entering the villa, to Blu Chegini and Shea Mannings having to battle it out over who gets dumped, the series 12 producers have not held back.

But in probably what's one of the most shocking moments so far, Blu and Megan Forte Clarke are heading back into the villa as bombshells.

(Side note: this isn't the first time this has happened. Remember during series 3 when Sam Gowland and Mike Thalassitis walked back into the villa a couple of weeks after they were dumped? We'll never forget tbh)

Now, we have no idea what Blu's going to get up to but we know for certain that Megan will be pulling Conor Phillips for a chat, despite him being coupled up with Shakira Khan.

Before it was announced that Megan and Blu were heading into the villa, we spoke to recently dumped Islanders Ben Holbrough and Andrada Pop about Conor and Megan - and even they thought they could get back together on the outside.

'I think Conor does actually like Shakira and the reason being is that I know there's a big build up to it over five weeks. It started off with them two as very good friends but I knew in the back of both their heads they wanted to explore that,' Ben exclusively told heatworld.

'So I do think they do actually like each other because at the end of the day they wouldn't - five weeks in - give it a go if they didn't think there would be anything there as that would have already been squashed.

'I do think they like each other but obviously we all know Conor did really like Megan so that's one for the outside though, no one knows how it's gonna play out.'

Andrada then added, 'Yeah, I do really like Shakira and Connor together. I do think they have something there however, I've never seen Conor's eyes sparkle as much as I did when he was looking at Megan.

'So it is hard because you just never know what the next day has to give and it'll be very interesting to see on the outside world.

'Is Shakira and Connor gonna last? Or is Connor gonna go for Megan? We don't know.'

We don't know indeed but fingers crossed for our gal Shakira because she's already broke down in tears over Conor and we don't think we'll be able to watch that again.

Megan heading back into the villa comes shortly after it came to light that Conor had slid into her DMs BEFORE they starred on Love Island.
