Love Islander reveals how producers guarantee recoupling drama before filming

ok.co.uk:

Love Island recouplings are known for providing jaw-dropping moments and always seem to end with a face off (or cliffhanger!) when it comes down to the last two.

And it turns out, the drama is no accident. According to former Islander Anton Danyluk, the producers make sure they know who each contestant is going to pick in advance, so they are able to choose the order of recoupling speeches.

Speaking to OK! ahead of the release of his new book, Anton Danyluk: 50 Steps to the Best Version of Yourself, Anton revealed that producers know each Islander is going to pick in advance.

He explains: "You’re not told what to say, but they know who you’re picking before you pick them so they can put it in a specific order, so it becomes dramatic.
