Love Island viewers have been rendered speechless after it was revealed at the end of Friday’s episode that Molly Marsh has returned for Casa Amor.
The 21-year-old theatre star was sensationally dumped from the ITV2 show last week after former contestant Kady McDermott made a dramatic comeback and stole Zachariah Noble from her.
While there was initial suspicion over her exit from the series was genuine or not, Molly later appeared on After Sun, giving the impression she was gone for good.
But in the teaser clip at the end of tonight’s instalment, it was confirmed that Molly is in fact back in the main villa for Casa Amor week.
Dropping the bombshell of Molly’s return, narrator Iain Stirling said: ‘Sunday night, meet the new girls, and say hello to a new friend…’

Footage then revealed Molly strutting back into the compound along with five new girls.
Viewers have been left completely gobsmacked over the move and have been sharing their disbelief on social media.
‘I PHYSICALLY COVERED MY MOUTH WHEN I SAW MOLLY,’ exclaimed one fan.
‘I mean…..I expected it….but I’m still shocked to see Molly,’ another added.
A third said: ‘Molly’s back!!!! Omg this series just keeps on twisting and turning and I love it.’
Following her exit last week, Molly revealed that she will ‘definitely wait’ for Zach, despite Kady coupling up with him.
‘I want to see him when he comes out and I want to carry on where we left off, because I think there’s still unfinished conversations and more to get to know about each other,’ she said.
She also admitted that she thought he would have followed her out of the villa.
‘Yeah, there was definitely a part of me that thought, “Come home with me.” I thought, “Let’s go and we can carry this on.” But it’s his journey as well and he probably needs to keep himself a little bit open and see if there is something there,’ Molly revealed.
‘Me and Zach had said to each other we can’t be fully closed off yet and it will take time to get there. But it was heading to that, we were quite close to being that,’ she continued.

‘I wonder now if he maybe regrets saying he was still open. Maybe he was wishing he’d said, ‘I am closed off’ and it would have been different.
‘I would have loved him to have come back with me and come home. But I understand he needs to stay and see what’s right and hopefully we carry on at home when he does leave.’
Love Island returns on Sunday night at 9pm on ITV2.
