The contestants that receive the fewest votes from the public will be at risk of being dumped from the show.
In tonight's episode of Love Island, Yasmin Pettet, 24, decided to pull her current couple partner, Ben Holbrough, 23, for a chat.
Although she went in with the intention of squashing any underlying tension, things soon got heated.
She accused him of saying negative things about her to the boys behind her back, as she hinted that he didn't appreciate her enough.
He seemed to blame her for choosing him in the last recoupling, to which she replied: "Who else would I have chosen at the end of the day?"
The private taxi driver responded: "I haven't really been feeling you to be fair."
She was completely taken aback by his comments as she sarcastically snapped back: "Okay, I'm glad you're honest about that now."
Flicking her hair in disgust, she added: "That's like really helpful."
He then dug himself deeper as he explained: "I gave it a go because I felt like I had to."
When she said that she felt like he did not really give their partnership a proper chance, he then said: "I didn't really want to, to be fair."

The argument seemed to escalate as she was not happy with how Ben seemed to hide his true feelings, saying: "Don't f****** waste my time."
He then insulted her further with his responses
"You're lucky Shea even picked you. To be fair, I think you're lucky you're even in here now to be fair.
"No one rated you when you were in here let's say. You've only come out your shell because you're in a couple with me."
