This week has undeniably been one of the most dramatic so far on this year's Love Island. To narrow it down, we've seen Lucie confess her true feeling to Tommy TWICE, Curtis 'break' Amy's heart and Anna ditch Jordan. Not to mention the cherry on top of the cake - Michael has pied off Amber for new girl Joanna.

Tonight (5th July), it looks like the drama is set to thicken, when Amber and Jordan each take an Islander of their choice on a date. Is this Jordan's chance to rekindle things with Anna?

And, of course, tensions are still high in the villa between Curtis and Amy - but it's looking like the calm before the storm as Maura starts to move in on the 23-year-old dancer.

Find out what happens on Friday night's Love Island below:

Things have definitely been frosty between Michael and Amber since he returned from Casa Amor coupled up with new-girl Joanna. Now that the dust is beginning to settle, Michael is keen to clean the air with his former flame.Speaking to Michael, Amber says, "I don't think you had any idea how much I liked you." She then finally receives the apology she's been wanting, as Michael says, "For me, it was hard to see. I felt like I was constantly chasing you. I could not read you. I was constantly questioning it. I didn't ever want to hurt you. I'm deeply sorry. I do want you to know that I'm still here for you." Hmmph.

ARE THERE STILL FEELINGS BETWEEN THE PAIR?

After Amber admits, ". I just thought everything would be ok. I do feel like it's partly my fault. It's upsetting because I know I don't open up to people and I don't show people how much I like them", things begin to take a lighter turn. Michael jokes, "I know that you have a heart of gold. You've just got a strange way of showing it sometimes," before Amber laughs, "Watching you with lovely Joanna who is not catty and lets you talk about your issues but she doesn't make you laugh as much as me though!"The pair share a giggle as Amber accepts Michael's apology. Does this mean there is a glimmer of hope for these two?
